STATE

Combining new music, new dances
and one of the most unusual COM
edy stories ever presented with one
of the most talented screen casts
ever assembled for any picture, 1.-THE
Boys From Syracuse" arrived at the
air conditioned Warner Bros. State
theater this afternoon for a four
day engagement.
Based on the musical comedy
which had Broadway audiences
bowling for 235 performances this
miracle musical brings a brigade OF
singing stars and laugh luminaries
to the screen.
Among them are Allan Jones,
Martha Raye, Joe Penner, Rosemary
Lane, Irene Hervey, Charles Butter
worth, Alan Mowbran, Eric Blore
and Samuel S. Kinds.
AS in the play, 1.-THE Boys From
Syracuse retains the "story idea"
of entangling two identical sets of
twins with a single set OF wives.
That basic situation provided both
the stage play and film with unique
laugh material.
Jones is cast as a Grecian gen.
eral, married to Miss Hervey, The
actor also appears as his own twin
brother, an interloper from SYRIA
cuse (Greece) who is taken into Miss
Hervey's home and entertained law
ishly, but by mistake. Penner IS
seen as Miss Raye's husband and
his own twin brother, who is SIM
ilarly mixed up with Martha.
Of the six singable swingable
song number by Rodgers and Hart,
Jones sings two-"Who Are You?"
and Failing In Love With Love"
and he has never been in better
voice. In addition his comedy and
fine shading Of the two distinct
characters represent an acting vic
tory.
All in all here is the one picture
YOU can't miss seeing. On Broad
way for year at $3.50 it now
comes to Localities at regular State
prices.
A stirring drama of the prize
ring Golden Gloves" is the second
big hit of the program. The film
features a big cast headed by Jean
Cagney and Richard Denning.

Canada sent So per cent of this, the
Argentina 80 per cent, the United
States IL per cent and Chile, Brazil
and Uruguay together accounted for
2 per cent.
The average annual export Of corn
in those same years was 306,859 900
bushels, of which Argentina sent 81
per cent and the United States 12.5
per cent.
The average annual export OF hog
products was 496, 100000 pounds.
The United States sent As per cent,
Canada 40 per cent, Argentina IL
and Brazil 8.
The average annual export OF
mutton and lamb was 130,148,00O
pounds, of which Argentina sent 81
per cent and Uruguay 10.
The average annual export OF beef
and beef products was 1,445, 10000
pounds, of which the Argentine sent
70 per cent, Uruguay IA per cent,
and Brazil 8. A large portion OF these
exports went to Europe.
The war has caused a big decrease
in the exports of all those products
from the countries enumerated, not
only because of the blockadeS by
the enemy countries. but also be-
cause they have sought other mar
kets.
Thus to avoid sea transport,
Germany and Italy have looked to
Hungary, Yugoslavia and Rumania
for wheat and have also tried to
get big supplies from Russia.
Britain, to save foreign exchange
has looked to its own empire, es-
pecially Canada, India, Australia and
New Zealand for wheat and meat.
The United States has felt this
particularly as regards agricultural
products.
For the first eight months of the
war, as compared with the same
period, a year earlier, the U. S
Department of Agriculture states
exports of farm products have de-
clined more than one-fourth. Wheat
exports were only little more than
one-fourth their volume in the pre-
i
ceding year.

The name of Mccarthy .. Death of Joseph McGar-
ritv in Philadelphia this week brought back rush OF
memories Who of those this country laborng for the
cause of Irish freedom had cause to see his name
blazoned in bright letters foot high than this same Jo
seph Mccarthy? Fifty years ago he came to this land
of freedom and promise. He had but one idea and ne
lived to put into execution He was staunch Irish
man and he lived only to the day when the Ireland OF
his birth and heritage would be free To this end he
spent all his working days building up fortune that he
might spend it for Irish independence He made it and
he spent it. Although he harbored canon De Valera
in his Philadelphia home when the latter was an exile,
he broke with him of late years Early this year ne gave
to vanova College his extensive library of Irish history
and literature one of the most complete in the world

Favor Vaccination
46 Require Certificates From School Children I'm.
munizatiOn for Infants Also Recommended BY State

an article by Franklin M. Foot, M:
Is. Chief Of the Division OF local
health administration, published "a
the July bulletin Of the sssss oe-
partment Of health. Wide use OF
hiehIy efficient means OF prevention
AGAIN certain diseases through pro.
dIIction Of active immunity, and
nrornotion through local health
Councils of comprehensive long
term programs to limit the spread
of disease and advance health were
urged.
46 Communities
Forty-six communities in the
state now require vaccination
against smallpox before child may
be admitted to school and many
other communities are considering
similar action. Doctor Foote pointed
out that active efforts should also
be made in each town to secure im-
munization Of infants against diphs
liberia before the first birthday and
to project children against scarlet
fever and whooping cough.
When case Of acute commune.
able disease occurs, 1t Is essential
that an investigation be made TO
trace the source of infection and to
find other people who have been
exposed. Similar follow-up Is neces-
sary in cases of syphilis and tuber-
culosis, Doctor Foote stressed. Be-
cause of the likelihood of return TO
infestiousneSs, these patients should
receive proper treatmnet and care
until the disease Is arrested.
In other activities the health de-
partment and local health councils
should formulate plans and furnish
the leadership to promote maternal
and child health by coordinating
the work of other official and VOL
untary health agencies to make II
more effective.
Code Observed =
Towns should be so prepared,
Doctor Foote emphasized, that Wis
itors are assured that all points
covered by regulations in the state
sanitary code are fulfilled. The
whole responsibility for Investigate
ing nuisances, supervising water,
food and milk supplies, and the dis
posal of sewage rests with the local
health department. In the routine
inspection Of restaurants, 1t Is ne
cessary to see that water supplies
are safe, that hand washing facih-
ties are adequate, that waste IS
properly disposed Of. that foodstuffs
are protected from contamination,
that eating utensils are cleansed
and sterilized between cutomers,
that perishable foods are properly
stored and that food handlers are
free from communicable disease.

Europe, but there Is an actual con-
dition of famine for cattle, sheep
and hogs because of lack of feed
stuffs which are ordinarily import
ed. It is estimated at least one-third
the cattle and pigs of Denmark and
Holland will have to be slaughtered
before winter.
The United States alone could
probably largely supply this lack If
things were normal. The U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture estimates
that for 1910 the corn crop will be
2, 400 10000 bushels, oats 1921 ,000,-
900. There is little chance of selling
this corn.
The blockade accounts for some
of the failure, but Argentina is an
all-poWerful rival for such markets
as exist. The large Argentine crop
of 419,000,oo0 bushels this past
spring caused little demand for
American corn, especially as the
price at Chicago was about 80 cents
per hushel above the price asked
in BueonS Aires.
OUTLOOK
NOT GOOD
The United States Department of
Agriculture in one of its most recent
bulletins does not take a very rosy
view either of the present or the
near flltl1re &C regards ElIrOOe as
market for American farm prod
ucts outside of cotton.
The department says:
ct appears that United States
agricultural exports ar enot likely
to benefit from the war, that after
the war we will face increasing
competition from other agricultural
exporting countries for number OF
years, and, that importing countries
will be faced with the problem OF
how to pay for needed imports"

ICE COLD LEMoNADEl
By TIE MAN IN TIE TOWER
Good evening.

Under a spreading maple tree
The youngsters set their stand,
Might as well make little dough,
AS they say, bird in the hand
Ice cold lemonade Will
Cost you two cents glass
Business depending quite little
On the number of folks that pass
Bill and Tom and Henry
Have done some good carpentry work,
They've formed regular company
And none his duty will shirk.
Bill counts the pennies,
Tom is the crier in the shade,
Cmon, folks ice cold lemonade!
And Henry gets the stuff made
So in case you're passing by
In your coupe with the rumble,
Pull up short at the lemonade stand
And give the kids tumble.

Eddie and Billy Matched
 for Juneau Bout on November 16

Coming like bursting bomb shell, the announcement was made today by Dean Hamlin, manager of Alas ka's welterweight champion, Billy McCann, that his boy will take the place of Larry Trambitas in the forthcoming fight with Eddie Mur- phy at the A. B. Rink, November 16.
 McCann. who is to fight the fol- lowing week in Sitka, taking on the rough and ready Gal" McGraw in the Historic City, will be having two fights in practically one week
 This will mark the first appear ance of 'McCann in the local ring since his knockdown battle with Sammy Nelson recently.
 Murphy, who has had consider able trouble in getting under way since his last fight here, is fast rounding into shape, and according to word given here, he will be ir there to give McCann fight that he will long remember. Murphy probably of all the scrappers Me Cam has taken on, gave the l47- pound champion his toughest fight
 Both McCann and Murphy have been working out of late, with Mur- phy getting the breaks, as he started working out some time previous be- fore McCann knew that he was tt fight.
 Both men are expected to tip the scales at about 150 pounds, and vii be in tip top shape.
 This fight is expected to settle all doubts as to which of the two local scrappers is the better. AL though McCann beat Murphy hert once before, he probably took the worst of the fighting until the f. nal two rounds.
 Murphy believes he can whip Nc Cam and will be out to prove same on Saturday, November 16 A fine supporting card is also in prospect for those that like their boxing.
