CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE
CHAIRMAN BEING ORGANIZED

The Colorado Tuberculosis associa-
tion announces it's plans OF organiza-
tion for the annual christmas Seal
sale in the counties OF the Western
Slope. The association has worked on
the theory that the appointment OF a
local chairman to carry on the sale in
each county is the most successful and
has announced these appointments:
Mrs. A. V. Smith, chairman for Pa
onia, is the Delta county chairman.
Ninetythree chairmen have been Sc
cured to carry on the sale in Colorado
this year, and monstrous sale is ex-
pected.

When we think we're poor and meet
someone no richer than we are it
makes us feel even better though it
adds nothing to our pockets. A COM
parison of September records of COW
testing associations of Colorado and
nine other western states with records
of cows on test in the Uncompahgre
Valley makes us more appreciative of
what some of our local dairymen are
doing.
112 Colorado herds in six testing
associations produced an average of
6S7 lbs. of milk and 25.9 lbs. of fat
per COW for the month. The highest
association average was 293 lbs of
fat, and the lowest was 20.7 lbs. In
ten western states 1871 herds in 80
associations produced an average of
2S.4 lbs. of fat per COW. Washing
ton leads with BIG lbs and Arizona
the lowest with 242 lbs. The pro-
duction of eight local herds tested in
the same way as the COW testing as
sociations show an average of $40 lbs.
Of milk and 2S.S lbs. OF fat per COW
for the month, the highest herd av-
erage being 744 lbs. Of milk and "a
lbs. OF fat. Only ore OF the local herds
is a purebred herd, but all of the
bulls in them are purebreds.
Here is something to think about
The records in testing associations
are considerably above the average
production Of all dairy cows and they
help to make the average as high as

low as It is? Where does your herd
stand?
A local dairyman suggests a regu-

]. II. Blackburn, an outstanding fig
ure in British chess who was ac-
counted one of the finest tournament
players that ever lived, died recently
at the age Of SO.
Blackburn received his early inspi-
ration in chess from Paul Morphy,
the American prodigy. whom he met
In 1889. Then is was that he took
up the study Of chess with a self
confidence born OF youth and genius.
1t Is said that no player was ever
more successful in exhibitions Of
blindfold and simultaneous play.
In 1862 Blackburn's success in an
exhibition Of bllndfo1d play in an
international tournament in London
against ten strong amateurs most
astonished his critics. On that occa-
sion he won five games and drew
two. He was the first to meet IL

BIG HIT

Newest Norma Talmadse Picture Is
Highly Romantic Drama OF Arab :
ian Desert
In THE Song of Love-" which
opened yesterday at the COLONIAL
Theatre, Norma Talmadge scores the
greatest hit Of her career, lustrous
as it is. In this First National pic
ture the star reveals new and uneX-
pected facets of the marvellous tai
ent that is hers, beguiling and be-
witching the spectator with the pow :
er of her panton.ine.
AS an Arabian dancer, Miss Tai
madge has particularly alluring
role and one that Is quite depart
urc from her recent portraitures OF
silk clad DANES Of other periods. She
gives to the part a tempestuous char
acterization and appeal that stamp
her as the most versatile OF film
heroines.
THE Song of Love was adapted
from the novel, Dust of Desire,
which has won considerable renown
for it's author. Margaret Peterson.
The settings are exceptionally
beautiful. One is enthralled by the
majestic splendor of the boundless
desert and the exotic architecture OF
the cities and towns in which the
action takes place. Pictorially, as
well as in every other phase. the
production Is one Of the most artistic
and fiawless that we have ever seen.

Movie Men May
Attend Conference

Geneva, Sept. IL "a. L. by mail
Declaring that there are at least
so, 900 cinema halls in the world and
that the moving picture is steadlly
increasing as an International force
for good or evil, Julian Luchaire,
Honorary Professor of Grenoble Uni
versity, France, and Inspector Gen
eral of Public Education, recently
urged the League of Nations COM
mittee on Intellectual Cooperation to
convoke an International Cinemati-
graph congress which would bring
together representatives of promot-
ers, producers, authors, artists, crit
les and directors.
Professor Luchaire hailed the mo-
ton picture as one Of the most i'm
portant movements in the history OF
Intellectual life in the course of the
last 20 years. He said its influence
on the populace can only find a par
allel in that of the theatre in the
cities of ancient Greece and that of
the daily press in modern nations
since the nineteenth century. He es-
timated that, taking the average
number of spectators to be 300 in
each of the $1,000 world cinema halls,
and keeping in mind that each pic
ture is usually repeated ten times,
q film which goes all over the world,
as many do, is seen in n relatively
short space Of time by 1o0,000,00O
persons.
Undoubtedly, said Professor Lu-
chaire, the impression made upon
this enormous public is superficial
compared with the influence of GER
tain books which have taken years
or centuries to impress themselves
on the human race, certain sacred
books, for instance, but it Is a strik-
ing fact that only the Bible and the
Koran have an indisputably larger
circulation than that of the latest
film from Los Angeles. He said that
the cinema has been adapted to re-
ligious propaganda in various coun-
tries, and that in the United States
1t Is estimated that about $4,000
churches use the screen as an adj
junct to the pulpit. For all these
reasons and for the additional one
that the cinema has become intrin-
sically international, Professor Luz
chaire held that it should be includ-
ed within the scope of the activities
Of the Committee on Intellectual CO.
operation.
The future alone will divuige, the
speaker insisted, whether the cinema
is to have high educational value and
the elevating and ennobling influence
which the theatre seems to have had
on the masses in ancient Greece, or
the debasing influence OF vulgar
music-hali shows or of cheap novels.
The French professor said he was
convinced that great things could be
accomplished by an international
conference in the way Of leading the
cinema into channels which would
be productive Of good for humanity.

and favorable comment was heard on
every hand. When Governor Bax-

faithful horse Kitty" 1 determined
to write you n letter of appreciation.
The example % kindness to animals
which you have set will be very help
full to the humane cause.
Il wish all the drivers and owners
OF horses in Maine would take as
good care of them as you do of
Kitty" and then we would not need
any cruelty to animal agents to look
after our horses and ur.state would
be a better place for all Of us to live
in.
"Since have been governor I have
not hesitated to champion the animal
cause and you are doing your part in
the good work.
Under separate cover I am send
ing you an autographed picture of
my good dog Garry and myself and
hope you will accept it with my
compliments"

pleased to receive from Local No

pleased him very much. and which
Rave been placed in the personal files

We wish to thank you. Governor. for

To one of our union members, tho he
