TOM MIX APPEARS IN
CATCH MY SMOKE
Popular Star on Program With
New Chapter ''The Oregon
Trail"

For next Saturday the Rylandey
has arranged another interesteding
action program, consisting of Tom
Mix in Catch My Smoke" the
fourth chapter of "The Oregon
Trail' and comedy, Doomed at
Noon"
Ably assisted by his old compan-
ion, Tony, the marvellous horse,
Tom Mix in "Catch My Smoke"
tells the story of an effort made by
Toms enemies to defraud him of
his property upon his return from
France, and of the dynamic west
erner's triumph over them.
Not only does Tom Fix thrill by
the display Of horsemanship, but
in his daredevil work he succeeds
IN Guiding his pursuer. The situa-
tons are said to be replete with
excitement and the entire plot i'm
gemously constructed.

"The Girl of the Golden West"
Given Splendid Perturbation
by Edwin Carewe

Made doubly fascinating by the
elimination of the usual scenes
which have made too many west
ern plays more or less monoton-
Gus, Edwin Carewe's picturizatlon
of "The Girl of the Golden West
will be the special attraction at the
Rylander Theatre next Thursday
and Friday.
As a rule western dramas, es-
pecially those which depict life OF
the gold-rush days, are over
crowded with cheap, meaningless
melo-drama which leaves no I'M
preston upon the mind and does
not really entertain. In THE Girl
of the Golden West" however, Dl-
rector Carewe has, as he did IN
mighty LAX A Rose" brought in
the strong, human touches and de
veloped the odd romance of the
famous Belasco stage triumph IN
way that holds ones undivided
attention from the first title to the
last flash.

Question Answered in Ethel
Clayton's New Picture at Ry-

The woodworking power that
lies in a little baby's cropping fl
gers has been forcefulIy woven in
to dramatic photopIay Can A
Woman Love Twice." which will
be shown at the Rylander Theatre
on Wednesday. Ethel Clayton is
the star of this production and the
love of a girl-widow for her baby
son is the goad that drives her to
practice a great deception-to live
a black lie which ultimately is turn
ed white by her self-sacrifice, and
which in the end brings second love
"a love even greater than her
first.
But unlike many Of the 'mother"
pictures which have gone before,
"Can A Woman Love Twice" does
not deal with a gray-headed mother
whose life is lived in the lives of
her grown child or children. The
story is of the girl today-a girl
who marries a wealthy youth just
prior to his departure for the bat
tlefields Of France, and whose par
ents disappove of her.
On her own resources, the girl in
nocently is persuaded to take a job

WHAT The CAMERA MISSED

The eye of the camera, far shar-
per than the well-known eye Of an
eagle, sometimes misses things of
moment. No better example of this
comes to my mind than one which
occurred during the production Of
Racing Hearts" was driving a
racing automobile along at a
tremendous speed, meanwhile regis
terlng the intense strain | was I'M

platform constructed for the pur-
pose, the camera took" the scenes

Suddenly my eyes was attract

entered my head that it might fly
off any minute. But with this
thought in mind kept on acting

STATE HOUSE
Next Meeting Of Council M, Tuesday, Aug "A

|, towards the harvesting of this very
important crop.
"While it is true that Maine is for
tunate in having another very large
hay crop this year, with a consider
able carry over from 1922 and while
there may have been in former sea-
sons some discrimination against the
Maine product in out of the Sta;e
markets. these facts should not lead
any of our growers to despair of dis
posing of surplus hay this year or
to leave any considerable part of
their field uncut.
I'm this connection the latest re-
port of the statistician of the United
States Department of Agriculture at
Wakefield, Mass, is of interest and
reads practically as follows: New
England tame hay estimated at
4,476.000 tons. The crop is consid-
erably lighter than last season IN
nearly all sections. Hay crop in the
leading states is much below that of
! last year. The New York crop of "a
per cent. of that of last year; Penn
sylvania. 66 per cent; Michigan 70
per cent; illinois GO per cent: Wis
consin, II per cent. The cold dry
spring in most sections has been un-
favorable to the Nrowth of the crop.
The persistent rumor which has
been heard in all parts of Maine TO
the effect that some sort of an en-
barge exists on the shipment OF
Maine hay over the railroads because
of its quality and the presence of
certain weeds, appears to be entirety
without foundation. This depart
ment has made every effort to trace
the rumor to its source and without
result. We have today received from
the freight office of the Maine Cen
trail Railroad company at Portland
this statement We know or no e7:I-
barge on Maine hay and feel that it
could not exist without our know
ledge
Another current report that large
receivers of hay were refusing to
handle Names product seems to be
discrcdited in the following letter re-
ceived by the department from one
of the largest hay concerns in New
England. we have taken this mat
ter up carefully with other dealers
and cannot find any one who knows
anything of this matter whatever.
AS far as the hay dealers are con-
cerned, l would say that we have
never heard of their having any
right to put an embargo on hay III
any part of the country. Further
more, we cannot see where there
would be any benefit to the dealers
to stop hay from coming into this
market"
