SIX VARIETIES
Joe Lawhon, cattleman of Bowie,
brought six varieties of grass to Doug
las to illustrate what the early rains
have done for desert growths. For
age can be grown in abundance in
desert soil if rains are sufficient, and
the plants this year are healthy and
thriving.
The most interesting is the desert
fodder introduced by the government
which shows knowledge Of man con-
cerning soil and it's possibilities. The
seed were sent to the desert country
SS--N.
the result has been successful and
profitable.
Alfiliria, native of Australia, first
took root in Arizona when it's seeds
were carried over in the wool of sheep
transported from Australia to Oracle
in the early seventies. The soil be-
n ing suitable, the plant is prolific and
lis the best feed grown in this part
of the country. The plant grows with
a formation like that of the bean.
The other four specimens brought to
Douglas by the cattleman are native
to Arizona soil, and are doing we'll
this year. They are Indian wheat,
Eschscholtsia, or wild poppy, the pep
per plant, and mustard plant.
With an average rainfall the desert
soil affords plenty of fodder, Sacaton,
Alfiliria4 Indian wheat, wild onion,
and wild poppy brought by the spring
rains. Gra!mma and galleta grasses
follows the summer rains, and in the
fall the pepper plant, mustard plant
and golden rod take their turn.

PASSION PLAY
WILL OPEN AT
GRAND SUNDAY

Tt is a safe statement that never
before has a screen spectacle gath
cred the paeans of praise that have
been literally heaped upon the pic
ture of the worlds oldest passion
play. as it has been enacted by Frei-
burg. Baden, since the year 1900, and
which is announced for an engage
ment of four days at the Grand
starting, Sunday.
The Atlanta Constitution stated
editorially Nothing more beautiful
more inspiring and thoroughly worth
while by way of motion picture has
ever been brought to Atlanta
c. Lester Barnard in the Denver
Post writes: Every man, woman
and child in the city of Denver
should see it. The picture which has
been described by eminent authorities
as miraculously beautiful is all OF
that. When / left the theatre, 1 was
sure that this most unusual motion
picture would stick in my memory
indefinitely-the acid test for a CT
nema play"
The Sheboygan, Mich, Press says;
Connected indeed, would be the
critic attempting an anlytical over
hauling of the Passion Play. The
emotions stirred by this picture are
too deep for analysis. 1t is perhaps
the most perfect motion picture ever
filmed, not because of mechanical
perfection, however, but because Of
the intense grip. of its meaning"
The st. Paul Press, in commenting
on the picture, said: Our ocular
pleasure was enhanced a millionfold
by knowing that we were seeing
right before our eyes the greatest
drama of all ages, the greatest ex-
ample of sell-sacrifice of all times,
and we felt the wave or kindliness
that was projected. even from the
screen, wept at the cruelties of mans
inhumanity to man and rejoiced at
the resurrection which meant the
Savior had expiated the sins of the
human race and saved it from being
wiped off the face of the earth"
In Phoenix at a preview screened
at the Rialto which was attended
by church workers, by representa-
tives from the state capital, by MEM
bers of the judiciary, by delegates
from women's clubs and by members
of the Teacher associations,
together with representatives from
the press, there was unanimity of
opinion that never had a local screen
been graced by a production of such
magnificence from the standpoint of
natural beauty, by production of
such sweeping emotional appeal, from
the sincerity of the delineation as
given by the many players, nor by a
production destined to accomplish
more genuine good, so intensely in
spring was it, and so sublimely up
lifting was the Influence on everyone
who watched breathlessly the stirring
scenes of the life and passion of the
Nazarene.
It is incompatible with any pic
ture that has ever reached the silver
sheet, possibly through the fact that
it was not "rehearsed'.., or posed
possibly through~the fact that it de-
pends on no star nor group Of stars
it depends on no sectarian nor in

through the fact that the reviewer is

Hawaii is turning with the states
from the 1926 season of baseball to
the l92627 season Of football, with
its interest centercd in a big extent
on the barefoot players.
Barefoot football is played by
youths in various sections of Homo
mlu who compete each season N
inter-district games. Lack Of funds
to carry on the game in full equip
mcnt had led them to play i'll uni
forms composed of light weight jer-
seys and overalls. No shoes are
worn and the kicking, oddly, is ac-
complished rs easily as ON the col
lege fields where shoes are consider
ea AN indispensable part of the uni
form.
Honolulu rcGdents and visitors
have become so interested IN bare
foot football that plans arc beng
made toward formation of Il bare
root league with teams from ali the
islands, with the territorial barefoot
champlonshop, and cup, as the III

All fights on the American LIE
gion card at Brawlcy last night
ended in draw decisions, giving the

matters as to just which battler
should have been given the decis-

Johnny Hallowell went into the
ring confident Of making short work
Of Jimmy Doland Of San Diego, in
the 10 round main event. He found
Doland to be tough hombre,
however, and the two were
about evenly matched. There was
plenty of fancy boxing during tho
affair but nct much heavy hitting.
The crowd was about evenly divid
ed on the draw decision, half being
certain that it was Holly's fight
and the other half giving Doland
the edge.
Battling Paul and Battling Doty

final, though Paul had the edge i'll
the opinion of the majority of the
spectators. He dropped Doty to the
mat for the count Of three in the
eighth round. Doty asserted how
ever that he had been trippcd.
Young Firpo and Mike Peync
started off the draw business by
racing to dead heat in the six
round opener. The fight was filled
with plenty of action, and the de-
cision was a good one.
