One of the most entertaining and colorful photoplays We have ever witnessed is "The Chorus Lady," which is being shown at tho Palace theatcr today, Tuesday and Wednes- day.
 It is an adaptation of the stage play by James Forbes in which Rose Stahl scored such a decided hit on Broadway several years ago and Bradley King has done n splendid piece of work in retaining all the high dramatic spots and yet mod ernizing 1t to conform with the typical "chorus lady" of today.
 The Keith vaudeville bill will be featured by Harlem Jimmy Kelly, champion weinterweight boxer of New York state with his company in "The New Champion" It is a farce with a company of eight clever ar lists and should make a big hit with local audiences.

156,0Oo LOCKED OUT
Strong Measures Are Adopted By Swedish Employers In Effort To Cut Down Wages.

Stockholm, Sweden, March 16.--A lockout of 156,0O0 workers in Swed- en in an effort to force wages to & lower level is scheduled to begin to- day, and the workers unions are ex- pected to respond by declaring a general strike. The conflict has been threatening for some time, the employers declaring that wages must be reduced within limits cor responding to the actual market conditions.
 The employers association a week ago assented to an appeal from the government, postponing the lockout while further efforts were made to- ward settlement. The government itself took hand in the negotia- tions.
 The delegates conferred all of yes terday. but late last night it was an nounced that, notwithstanding the earnest appeal of the government, all attempts at mediation had failed.

SON AND MOTHER
 DIE IN FLAMES
Both Meet Death in New Milford
 Blaze

New Milford. Conn.,. March 1G.-- Mrs. Louis Expedite, wife Of Q far mcr at still River, and their son, Gerald, Fl years old, were burned to deth before they could be reached, when a fire of unknown origip destroyed their farmhouse at about 1 o'clock yesterday morning. MT. Expedite, terribly burned in at tempting to rescue his wife and son, is in New Milford hospital where his condition is considered precarlous. Another son, Louis, 16 years old, Is also in the hospital suffering from minor injuries caused by the fire.
 Fire Origin Unknown
 The scene of the fire was at Still River. or Laneville, about mile and a half from New Milford cen- ter. There are not many houses near MT Espetite's. the only one within half a mile, being that of Fred Whipple directly across the road. No one knows how the fire started. but its apparent origin was | in one of the back rooms of the sec- ond floor. There was no stove on the floor of the house. the only one being in the kitchen where Mir. 1 Espetite slept.
 Boys Lcapcd From Window
 Mrs. Expedite slept by herself in one of the upstairs rooms and her son, Gerald, who was also burned to death, slept in the adjoining room. The two other boys, Joseph and Louis. occupied third room. They escaped by jumping ut the window, their first intimation of danger being when the entire sec ond floor was in flames and escape by the stairs was cut off.
 Burned in Rescue Attempt
 MT. Espetite slept in the kitchen and his knowledge of the fire was when he was awakened by the great heat and cracking of the flames He attempted to reach the second floor 10 rescue the rest of his fam 1 fly but was nearly consumed by the blaze. When he finally gave up he was so badly burned by the flames that he collapsed. Neighbors who had arrived had him and the son. Louis. immediately taken to the hospital. MT. Espetite's serious condition Is not only due to his se- we're burns about the face and hands, his hair being entirely burned off, but also to the great quanti- ties of smoke which he inhaled His son. Louis, is not so badly in- iured, althrough he has several bad burns on the face and hands and g number of cuts from glass due tc his jumping through the window The other son, Joseph, was not in jured at all.

derly nursed a Rose Queen under the delusion that 1t would prove to be salmon pink instead of Haunting orange. Her lists of Indispensable, desirable and admirable" peren- nials are particularly helpful,
 The Garden Bluebook of An nuals and Biennials" by Ortloff is 'an invaluable find for any garden maker Almost every conceivable bit of useful advice about selecting, sowing, transplanting and protecting plants is included in very accessible form. Then their artistic use is very fully covered. Lists are made sug- gestIng varieties for various uses, borders, backgrounds, bouquets, and "tlllers." And finally arrangement by color makes it possible 10 find something in misty blue to blend colors or yellow for sunshiny spots or rose to bring out the blue of delphiniums or anything else to complete plan. Continuous Bloom in America" by Louise shel- ton gives suggestions for avoiding the "bctwcen season" arid appear ance which is so sure signal for the appearance of distinguished and critical visitors! Especially useful are the tables showing color, habits, height and approximate date of | blooming for the most important | garden favoritcs. These of course may not be followed exactly if the weather is temperamental.
 Rock Gardens
 One might make a beautiful moral tale about turning ones ob- stacles into blessings apropos of the very skilful use of rocks described in Adventures in My Garden and | Rock Garden by Louise E. Wilder Apparently the most rugged and unauspicious landscape can be beau | tfied if one but knows how. The appropriate arrangement Of stones | and earth and the selection of modest but charming inhabitants is described in a most intriguing fash | ion. The most desirable plants are l quite fully discussed and lists made suggesting first choices for sunny or hady place, stone steps, paved paths l and walls.
 Fruits and Vegetables
 IL is quite probable that the mas culine members Of the family par ticularly will insist that the garden furnish something more tangible and substantially satisfying than beauty. So we will direct them to the numerous and severely practi- cal books on raising vegetables caring for trees, berry bushes, etc. "Busy Woman's Garden Book" by Bonnet is typical and very good. The making of cold frames and hot beds, ways of transplanting, weapons 10 use against garden pests, and winter storage of vegetables are some of the very important sub jects discussed. Finck's "Gardening with Brains" is also very readable and practical.
 Felt's Manual Of Tree and Shrub Insects" is an excellent description of the more common enemies which have to be fought by the gardener | and fruit grower. This will be

HUGE TOMATOE FARM
PLANNED IN COFFEE
NEW JERSEY COMPANY BUYS
1000 ACRES. WILL GROW
ON LARGE SCALE.

DOUGLAS.-A new agricultural
project OF much interest to Coffee
county and surrounding territory is the
coming into Coffee county at or near
Ambrose Of the Georgia Farms Inc,
owned by a number OF New Jersey
business men familiar with the farming
conditions of the South, and have pur-
chased approximately 1000 acres Of
land in body, and known as the Fer
guson farm, and the Atlanta Trust
Company farm. This company is
planning to grow from 1000 to 5000
acres in tomatoes under the New err
sey spotting system-that is, the plants
will be grown under glass and trans
planted as soon as the cold weather is
sufficiently passed to avoid late frosts.
The company will begin construc
ton at once of the hotbeds, which will
require thousands of glass sashes, as
we'll as the construction OF large pack
ing houses. The company proposes
to operate about eighty plows and in
shipping season will need hundreds OF
laborers to gather and pack the toma-
toes for the market.
