DE MILE 3 !. DOES D.
HANDnY WITH
"ICEBOIJllD"

There were two courses open
to william DeMille when he was
given Owen Davis 1922 prize play.
.'Icebound," to make into a mo-
ztion picture. He might either
turn out another movie-fash-
toned like a thousand predeces-
sors and with as much, dramatic
meat as the average; or he might
wave his own particular magic
wand and weave a spell OF tllu-
sion cold, hard and bitter-but
true to life as the author con-
ceived and presented it originally.
All of us will rejoice that he chose
the latter of the two courses.
The result is on view at Loew's
Columbia this week.

can find brief bits of hokum here

De Mile has positively outdono
himself in the construction OF q

COUNTRY NOT HALF LIGHTED

Not referring to lighting of cities,
or public highways, most of which
are not lighted at all, it can be broad
ly stated that the average home or
place of business is not more than
half ighted-especially hotels.
While one million new homes are
wired for electricity each year, it is
a fact that only one-third of the
homes in Our Country are wired for
lighting, and those wired and light
er are poorly lighted-One-half lit.
What do you mean by that TAX
ing ordinary daylight as normal, the
lighting in the average home is
stuck on ceilings and walls too far
away.
In the average hotel a newspaper
cannot be read by the lighting offer
ed in Hobbies, dining rooms and es-
pecially in bedrooms. Not one bed
room in hundred is lighted SO you
can read book or paper or read in
bed.
Chandelier lighting is generally
speaking wasted for the purpose for
which electric or ARTIFICIAL lighting
is employed-to enable you to read
or write. If you doubt this state
ment see how few read in hotels.

PLAGUE AMONG CATTLE
Government and State Authorities
killing Diseased Animals by
Thousands.

Few people realize in IOWA the
tremendous conflict going on in Cal
ilOrnia to stamp out tremendous
outbreak of the hoof and mouth di-
5ease among cattle, which, at the
present time, is raging in almost
every section of the Golden State. A
Bee subscriber writes the editor a
letter in which she says;
California is making a vigorous
fight against the hoof and mouth di-
sease which is raging here, Sunday
when we drove we were stopped at
every county boundary by officers,
who removed everything from the
cars that might carry disease germs.
They certainly had conglomerate
piles Of stuff. At intercals sawdust
is strewn upon the highway which is
medically treated so as to disin-
feet the wheels of autos. We note
now since disease is getting worse
that they are requiring people to
treat their shoes by the same pro-
cess. All the ranches are strictly
quarantined, and it seems they are
shipping nothing out of the state.
wonder if it will affect the price of
oranges in Iowa?'
The disease was brought to Cali
fornia first in a Japanese transport
with garbage fed to hogs. The au-
thorities took immediate measures
to stop it, and, in less than four
weeks, had killed $1,000 head of
cattle, hogs and sheep. However,
few weeks later, the infection ap-
peared away inland, near the foot of
the Sierra Nevada range, upon a big
cattle ranch. Before the owners
knew 1t nearly 1000 head of cattle
were i'll with the disease. From this
ranch the trouble was spread in yari-
Gus ways, getting TO the small dairy
farms around San Francisco, and
created serious alarm and state
authorities now have hundreds of
hunters in the mountain region kill
ing coyotes, stray animals, bears. and
all kinds of game which might carry
the disease east of California. One
dairy ranch near San Francisco lost
so mead OF mich cows, all of which
were killed and thrown into one
huge trench, dug with a steam
shoVel. Thousands of dairy cattle all
over California are now being killed
and the curtailment of mich for chill

GUS matter.

In speaking of the raVages of the
disease a western magazine says,
This dreaded sickness of cloven
noofed animals is caused by an or
ganism so tiny that it has never been
isolated, nor seen thru a microscope.
1t causes painful blisters TO appear in
the mouth and between the toes of
cattle, hogs, sheep and other dimes
tic animals. The blisters break and
ulcerate in four or five days, most of
the animals recover, but enough of
them suffer from secondary attacks
which, in hogs, usually cause the en-
tire hOof to slough off to serve as
sources of re-infection and as We
hicles for spreading this highly con-
tagious disease.
when an animal is stricken, the
painful blisters prevent it from eat
ing, drinking or moving. 1t stands
around and loses weight rapidly. In
fected dairy cattle do not regain
their flow of milk for year, and the
attacks do not render them immune.
If exposed they may be repeatedly in
fected. After severe attack no an
imal ever fully RECEIVERS, but it is
permanently weakened and it's value
is greatly dimished. Authorities say
that the disease would cost the live
stock industry $3.50, 100000 annual
ly if it ever becomes spread over the
United States is it is in continental
Europe, where it has never been
stamped out. In California now
many airpianes are being used to
ocate isolated herds showing in
lection by standing huddled togeth-
er in motionless groups"
This disease may spread to Iowa
thru oranges, or other shipments
from California, and people here
should take every precaution to pre-
vent it getting to Iowa. All boxes
should be burned, and oranges or
other imported fruit should be care
fully cleaned before eating, as hui
mans are said not to be immune
from catching the disease. The last
outbreak occurred in 1914, when the
disease was found in the Chicago
stockyards. 1t was not stamped out
then until $4,000 head of cattle
were killed and it spread to %
states.
The Farm Bureau, Farmers I'm
ion and every agency in Sac coun-
ty should be on the watch for this
trouble. There is no way to stop it
except by killing all infected cattle,
and burying their bodies in quick
lime, and thoroughly cleaning every
pen in which animals have been
kept. Birds and rabbits will carry
the disease, and it is a terrible scour-

Frost DAMAGE DOES
NOT ELIMINATE THE
NECESSITY Or SPRAY
just as Necessary to Care for Thin

Pests Must BE Eliminated.

Frosts have thinned the apple
crop, but to just what extent no one
knows at this time. Some varieties
have been thinned worse than 9TH
ers. Some kinds even have a full
crop to- date. Varieties are alternated
in most of the apple orchards and
those having Alright crop should re-
ceiye just as thorough a calyx spray
as those adjoining varieties having a
full crop.
NJ. L. Dean, director of plant in
dustry for Idaho says: There will
be more worms per apple with a
light crop than with a large crop"
If the varieties with light crop are
not thoroughly sprayed it will be
the breeding place for the Goblin
moth to very seriously infest the
part of the orchard having a large
crop. It is necessary to keep the
whole orchard Thoroughly sprayed
thr ughout the season if any remain
ing crop which will be valuable is
to be kept free from infestation. Mr..
Dean says also that most of the
worms enter the apple through the
calyx and that if they are poisoned
in the calyx now, that it will prevent
serious worm infestation later. He
also says that the calyx spray should
be very thorough.
3-S-Spreader (the wonder working
help in all sprays) added to the
calyx spray makes the spray pene-
trate into the calyx cups the instant
