CLOVER, ONCE ONLY WEED,
 NOW VALUED FERTILIZER

CHICAGO, Aug. 28.-A weed with a lot of punch, despised and hacked at for 1000 years, finally has got a break.
 Necessity and science met up with sweet clover only few years ago. Necessity needed some means of supplying new fertility to Amer ican soils at low cost. Science found the former weed" an an swer to all requirements.
 Illinois, leading sweet clover state, planted 750,000 acres in 1929 as compared to 10000 acres 10 years ago. Tests there show that an acre of it, plowed under in the spring, will add from 100 to POD pounds of nitrogen to the soil and increase the subsequent corn crop from 10 to Is bushels an acre.
 Sweet clover was known to the Caesars. It reached America ln 1739. where its determined growth caused disfavor.

 STYLE PARADE
 AT COLISEUM
Million Dollar Fashion Pa rade Is Featured in
 ''On Your Back

sThe Fox Movietcne screen hit, Just Imagine" featuring Marjorie White and Fl Brendel, which op- ened at the Coliseum last night, will continue on the program to-. night, when it will be shown for the last time. There will he a special midnight matinee tonight at o'clock sharp, featuring Will Rogers in "Lightnin'."
 On Saturday night, for one night only, the million dollar fashion pa rade, "On Your Back" will be shown, with Irene Rich, Raymond, Hackett and H. B. Warner.
 The story deals with the behind-, the-scenes career of a fashionable Fifth Avenue modiste who built up her great business through the slo- gan, Wear Your Brains On Your Back"
 She cajoles, entreats and flatters her vain customers into buying gowns which they cannot afford, then introduces them to wealthy men who frequent her establish ment. The result is that her shop becomes the rendezvous of idle mil lionaires who gather there every afternoon for tea with the lilies of the field"
 Irene Rich has the leading role of "Julianne," the ambitious mother who is doing everything for her son, Raymond Hackett.
 Conflict enters the thrilling hu- man drama when chorus girl whom her son loves, gets caught in the net of ''too much credit"
 The choice she has to make when she realizes how she is expected to pay for the gowns and the stand the son takes by her side, is the high point in the tense portrayal. Adapted by Howard J. Green from Rita Weiman's magazine story "Cn Your Back" was directed for the audible screen by Guthrie Mc- Clintic, producer of some of New Yorks biggest stage hits of the lpsst deeade.t- -s.sse s - ~

McDameS Miners
 Out For Winter

Jerry Brown arrived in Wrangsll Thursdav from HeDGn-es Greer where he has leen Gssoc ciatea 0lEa Davld Kenmuir of Nenaimo. B. C.. and Leslie Gill of Victoria, for the summer
 Gill and Kenmuir came out last week and let for the south on the Princess Louise Sunday evening.
 The season has been spent, said Mir. Brown. in prospecting and placer drilling. He believes that that the part of the Cassiar district has marvellous possibilities in the way of mining. The climate is delight full and the mosquitoes thrive beyond belief. He claims that McDames Creek has the biggest and best mosquitoes in existence. They are very friendly and most inquisitiye They have lived in mineral country so long, he says, that they are not content with placer drilling, but go in for individual dredging projects.
 Aside from a powerful mosquito exterminator, Brown believes the vital need of that country is road improvements between Telegraph Creek and Dease Lake.
 If transportation were less diff fieult, more prospectors would be encouraged to come in and the men already there would be enabled to develop their properties in better time, he says.
 The three young men will spend the winter outside but will return to McDames in the spring.
