JANET AND CHARLIE

Merely Mary Ann Gives Great Fox

Merely Mary Ann Gives Great Fox
Team Opportunity to Score.
Whatever the reason, Janet Gaynor
has the happy faculty Of becoming
more charming and more effective in
every picture she makes.
Her latest vehicle, Merely Mary
Ann is no exception to this rule. As
the little drudge who blossoms out
into an heiress she gives genuinely
remarkable performance and one that
contrasts wildly with that of her ia
nous co-star, Charles Farrell, as the
sarcastic and bitter composer who
learns, almost too late, what love is.
At the risk of being mobbed by
ardent Gaynor- Farrell fans, it must
be stated that this famous team has
acquired polish, finesse, that makes
their work even more enjoyable than
in their earlier triumphs. Both players
seem more sure of themselves, more
sincere in their characterizations
Merely Mary Ann is perfect We
hicle for the two stars, and is per-
fectly played. Director Henry King
daringly went beyond the usual field
TO choose the supporting players, which
include the delightful Beryl Mer-
Ger, j. M. Kerrigan and Arnold Lucy
among others. At the Kootenai theatre

ON MAKING
INEXPENSIVE HOTBED

BOHEMIAN, March IA few hours
labor and some inexpensive material is
all that is required to construct a good
hotbed for starting early vegetables or
those which cannot mature IN the
short growing season of Montana, says
E. E. Isaac, extension horticulturist at
Montana State College.
For those who desire to have hot
bed for use every spring, Mr.. Isaac has
the following suggestions to offer.
First pick out good location. A spot
near water, one that is protected from
the cold north winds and one that gets
all the sunlight possible. The south
side of building, board fence or hedge
is generally suitable.
A pit is necessary. the depth of
which is sufficient for six or eight
weeks. The width and length depend
upon the size and number of sash used.
Where only one or two sash are used,
have the pit extend a foot from each
l
side Of the frame.
The sash to use should not have more
than one bar crosswise in the center,
to provide as much sunlight as possible.
The framework can be either perma-
nent or temporary. If plants requiring
| different temperatures are to be grown,
the hotbed should be partitioned off
by the use OF boards underneath the
sash support. For tall plants the front
of the hotbed should be 10 inches and
the rear 16 inches.
/ Heat for the hotbed must be pro-
vided with manure. Fresh horse ma
nure is good Pile it at point con-
venient to the hotbed. When it begin!
to heat turn it SO that the fermentinf
manure will be thoroughly mixed al
through the pile. Spread out if it heats
too violently, but do not add mucl
water As soon as the pile has heatet
uniformly put into the pit to within
six inches of the top. Put it in thin
layers, tramping down each layer.
About inches of dirt, parts loan
and one sand, should be placed on to-
of the manure Then put on the sasl
and let stand few days until the higl
temperature period is passed to proven
seed injury. When the temperature ha
dropped to IS or 80 degrees, loosen tn
soil with rake and then plant the seed!

To Prevent Gray Hair

Modern Mechanics and Inventions
Magazine points out three rules where
by gray hair may be eliminated. First,
keep the head uncovered as much as
possible and avoid tight hats. Second,
massage the scalp night and morning
with the fingers and use a good hair
tonic every day and some bland oil
once a week. Third. the diet should
contain whole wheat bread instead Of
white bread. Fruit salads are advo-
Gated and ample vegetables, especially
spinach.
