Those who have liked Mr. Holt in

1.-The Wanderer" is the film spectacle
Of the great Biblical story of the
Prodigal Son. 1t is described as one
of the most gigantic undertakings in
the history of picture making.
The materials, consisting of silks
and draperies, are declared to be the
largest amount of cloth ever used in
a single motion picture. In all, more
than 100000 feet of material were
used, including that made into cos
tunes for the 5000 persons taking
part in the production.
Many of the materials are excep-
tionally rare and were purchased by
Mrs. Florence Meehan, who made a
special trip to the Far East for spec
ial weaves of cloth and for Oriental
tapestries. AS parts of the picture
will be made in color, the film will re-
veal these glorious hues in their nat
ural lustre.

How a Sensible Girl From a Nevada

A small town in Nevada is a long
way from a motion picture studio,
but distance meant nothing to Doro-
thy Toering two years ago when she

Swanson and Pola Negri had a seri
Gus rival. So she quit her job as a
society editor of the local paper and
put her wits to work to find a way to
do what thousands of girls are at
tempting.break into the movies.
Miss Toering, being the owner of
fully equipped mental apparatus, first
showed her good sense by coming to
New York instead of Hollywood,
where the opportunities are fewer
and the competition greater. Arriv-
ing at the eastern metropolis, she
again demonstrated her intelligence
by taking plain. I ordinary job in
the Paramount Long Island studio
instead of wasting her time in end
less waiting in a casting directors
anteroom.
AS soon as she had learned the
general ms and outs of picture max
ing and studio procedure, she man
aged to get herself transferred to
job as script clerk and was assigned
to Frank Tuttle's production unit.
where she stayed during the making
of several films by this hustling mas

about costumes, properties, etc, dur

checks them up in other sequences

method of marketing. This should
be done by accumulation in pools to
be shipped to concentration points to
woolgrowers agencies under the di-
rection of men selected to sell the
pools.
Growers should bear in mind that
the wool which has taken the sheep
a year to produce will not be con-
sumed Immediately but must be dis
tributed to the requirements of the
mills. If the pool market is to be
stabilized an even distribution of the
sale of wool should take place. The
valuable effect of the British-Aus-
tralian Wool Realization association
was shown when large accumulations
of surplus wool were found available
after the world war. There are no
large accumulations of surplus wool
at the present time, but the Austral-
ian woolgrowers have seen the value
of orderly distribution and are en-
deavoring to put into effect the same
system, so that during all times wool
can be distributed to better advan-
tage and markets sustained in bet
ter manner"

OF INTEREST TO
POULTRYMEN

Mites and lice multiply very rap
lily among poultry clocks and in time
become one of the greatest known
impediments to production, says a re-
cent bulletin of the department of
poultry husbandry, University of
idaho. The pest multiplies so rap
idly that in eight weeks a third gem
GRAFTON Is mature. In that time, ii
has been estimated the offspring of a
single pair will number approximate
ly 125,000 progeny.
At least eight species of hen lice
have been found and five of these are
common. Their habitat is the body
and Feathers of the chicken. Unlike
mites, lice do not have the piercing
mouth parts and do not suck blood,
but use their mouths for biting pur-
poses only. They subsist on feathers
and scurf from the skin. The biting,
together with the sharp. claw-like
feet, causes an irritation or itching
when the lice are present in large
numbers.
The common hen lice infest the
body of the fowl and are found in
some numbers about the vent. There
are two varieties, which technically,
are known as menopon palladium and
menopon biseriatum. The former are
small, yellow, hairy, almost round
bodied creatures with dark spots on
the abdomen. The latter are a little
larger and darker yellow. The COM
mon head louise is a grayish, black
creature, with a long narrow, gray
body. The eggs of lice are small,
white, oblong and almost transpar-
ent. They are stuck with gelatin
Gus substance in the clusters on the
fluff. If conditions are favorable
they hatch in from to 10 days and
the young reach maturity 10 days
later. Dampness, filth and warm
weather favor the increase of lice.
There are many so-called lice and
mite exterminators but none, per
haps which is as good as the home
made brand. One of the effective
powders is made as follows: Use
three parts of casein, one part cresol
and enough cement or plaster of par
is to absorb the liquid. Mix the gaso-
line and cresol together and add |
gradually, with stirring, enough ce-
ment to take up all the moisture. 1t |
usually takes about four quarts of |
the cement to one quart of the liz
quid. Do not use more cement than

CITIZENS TRAINING
CAMPAIGN TO OPEN

Instructions have been received by
Colonel II. M. Anderson, commanding
the 104th (Ftrontier) Division, Or
ganized Reserves, Salt Lake City,
Utah, to open the campaign to secure
enrollments for the Citizens Mill
tary Training Camp. The area to
be covered by this army headquarters
consists of five estates, Montana, Wy
oming, Nevada, Idaho and Utah.
The main camp will be held at
Fort Douglas, Utah, June IL, July
IL, 1925. The quota off the number
to be trained has been tentatively
set at 720 candidates until more in
formation concerning appropriation
of funds is received. A secondary
camp viii be held at Fort d. A. Rus
sell, Wyoming, for students in the
advanced courses of Field Artillery
and Cavalry. 1t is expected that 14O
candidates will apply for this train
ing. In that better facilities exist
at this post, the war department con-
templates better and more interest
ing instruction for this class of stu
dents by having this separate camp
rather than combining it with the
curriculum at Fort Douglas, Utah.
1t will be held at the same time as
the local camp.
Colonel Anderson believes that the
quotas will be rapidly filled. Last |
year the young men of the inter- |
mountain country displayed so much |
enthusiasm for this period of out
door life and training that caused |
this section of the country to stand /
ahead of all others in supporting the
q. M. T. G. idea. The same enthu-
siasm is expected this year
The old custom of considering ap-
plicants in the same order as their
applications blanks are received will
prevail. This indicates that any
young man who expects to attend
this years camp should submit his1
formal application without delay to
receive first consideration.
Any further information will be
furnished upon request by Head
quarters 104th OFrontier) Division,

is necessary to blot UP the liquid.
The powder keeps best in a closed
vessel.
Powders exterminators are used to
destroy lice on the fowls. They may
be used by direct application to indi-
vidual birds or they may be mixed in
dust bath. Ointments are used on
individual fouls and chicks for body
mites and lice which live under the
skin. Liquids for the most part are
used for the distinction of chicken
houses and poultry equipment.
