conceded that the government crop
report was a bullish document, but the
majority of traders took the view that
the report had been discounted be-
forehand. Notwithstanding that large
sections of Nebraska and Kansas sent
advices that crop damage was beyond
stoppage by moisture, the fact that
weather conditions were more favor

ADJUSTMENTS
OPERA HOUSE
Today onIy-continuou 2 Till 10

An exciting denouement provides
an unusual climax to 1.-THE Unfair
Sex" the society melodrama which
will be shown at the Opera House to-
day starring Hope Hampton, Hol-
brook Blinn, Nita Naldi, and Walter
Miller.
The two adventures have made
the young couple their victims, sep
arately, but the woman conspirator
has turned the tables on her partner,
through Jealousy, and she and the
hero arrive just in time to partici-
pate In the unusual and unexpected
scene between heroine ana villain.
The companion feature Is "The
Tough Guy" featuring Fred Thorn
son. "The Tough Guy" proved to be
Fred Thomson; and those who know
the history of this remarkable per-
sonality will be perhaps a trif1e sur
prised to find him so very tough. But
what the automobile experts call the
"torque strain" of life as the fore
man Of the hard boiled denizens at
the Bar-O Ranch accounts for that:
and there are many other things ac-
counted for in a most amusing and
sensational manner.
THE Tough Guy" is Mr.. Thorn
sons best picture to date;-which is
praise by the faceful. A splendid
story is lighted with the most up
roarious Thomson comedy, and Sill
yer King has an even more proni-
nent part than usual. Dave kirkland
directed the picture from the origi-
nal by Frank NJ. Clifton. Lola Todd
IS splendid as June Hardy, and Rob
err Mcklm proves a worthy villain.

Arranging Studies
For Cony Students
At September Term

Students entering or returning to
Cony High school in the fall will be
able to begin their work at once and
not lose a day or two arranging their
schedule, according to a plan which
has been evolved by Principal Ever
EFT V. Perkins and which is being
carried into effect at this time.
Briefly stated the plan is to ar
range the course of study for the next
year at this time and to make out
the cards of the pupils so that their
complete schedule will be ready for
them on the opening day Of school.
For those who are now students Of
the school Principal Perkins has ar
ranged a series of conferences with
the pupils at which he talks over
their work and suggests the studies
which they should take next year.
These suggestions are Incorporated in
a report to the parent, a copy of
which is kept at the school, and
space Is left for the parents sigma
ture if he approves the course as laid
out. If some change should be de-
cided upon later this does not bind
the student to the particular subjects
named, as Principal Perkins will be
at the school building for two weeks
before the opening of school in the
t OH " COIllCI Will pal CitS cllo Pu-
pills.
A blank card is given to grammar
school pupils who will graduate til
year, upon which they are to write
their name, age, and date of birth,
and to give their approximate rank in
figures for the work done in the
eighth grade, as we'll as to state their
choice of a course and of individual
studies. This gives the school Off
Gals an opportunity to get some line
on the capabilities of the students
and to make suggestions as to a
change Of curriculum If it is deemed
necessary or advantageous.
This work is being carried out at
this time and cards for the pupils Of
next year are being made out as ra-
pidly as possible so that everything
will be in order for the beginning of
a year. which, at least in the first
term will be marked by unusual diff
culties for both teachers and stud
ents, due to the very extensive alter
atoms which are to be made upon
the building.
