OUR "CUB" REPORTER LOST HIS BEARINGS Government Will Not Put an Inspector in Every Brewery To Check All Output. The statement In the report of the Liberty League meeting in the last issue of Die Islander that tlie government Intended placing an inspector In every brewery and that present product of the breweries was greatly In excess of tlie 2V. per cent, ultosved by liiw, wns Incorrectly reported. Our "cub" reporter evidently had become somewhat exhilarated — or maybe mentally "stimulated"—with the idea Of soon being nblo to procure n drink of his fnvorftn "medicine" when he badly needed It. that he allowed his imagination to run nwny and play tricks with him. However, he has no possible doubt that ail liberty-loving men—and women--will cast In their vote for "Government Control and Sale in Sealed Packages" under strict and proper supervision, nnd so do awny with that atrocious thing called the Prohibition Act—which does not, and what's more nevejr will—prohibit, but plays Into the hands of the "bootlegger" aud his kindred. BASEBALL CLUB DANCE ON THURSDAY NEXT To wind up the season the Cumberland Junior Baseball Club ls holding a big (lance In the Ilo-Ilo Dance Hall on Thursday evening next. This should be one of the best dances of the season. Tag Day Women's Hospital Auxiliary The above organization propose to hold their Annual Tag Day on Saturday next. On that day the members of the Auxiliary will stund at the principal corners of Dunsmuir Avenue and ask for contributions, great or small. Collections will also be made at Bevan and Union Bay. For those who do not realize tlie work of the Society, we beg to state that tlie Hospital Auxiliary provides most of the crockery and linen used at the local hospital, which are all procured In tlie town, und all funds realized are spent here. With tlie ex. eeptlon of tiie dues paid by the members of the society, which number over 50, it depends entirely on volun tary contributions for Its support. The claims on its resources are very great, the strong disinfectants used quickly destroy sheets, etc.-, the quality of which are none too good since the war. It is hoped that a very generous response will he made by those who feel the cause to be deserving, and that those wbo do not feel called upon to contribute will at least remember that the collectors' task Is not an enviable one and only done from a sense of charity, and accord them every civility. Tlie results of the collections will be published in The Islander. AMY B. CLINTON, Hon Sec. BIG MEETING SUNDAY NIGHT "WETS" VERSUS "DRYS" Robert Cassidy, K.C, Well Known Speaker of Vancouver, and H.

Champions Cumberland journeyed to Nanaimo on Sunday and engaged the Inter-City champions In an Upper Island League fixture. The B. C. champions made several changes In tbelr team from the previous game, Strang partnering Campbell at buck, Smith being moved to right half and Conti tilling the centre half position, Home being In- ide left nnd Boothman inside right. Boothninn won the toss and took advantage of the wind. Nanaimo were first to (ind Iheir feet on the slippery pitch and kept Cumberland defense ou edge for some time. Strong, kicking by the backs, let Cumberland away mid first Conti. and then Home, tested Routledge with long shots. A run. by O'Brien und Robertson looked dangerous for Cumberland but Campbell cleared. Cumberland again took up the pressure, and Chester and Dickinson were a busy pair; from a centre by Harrison, James got possession, aud beating tbe backs, lie gave the goalkeeper no chance to save. Cumberland continued to hnve the pull and Routledge was kept busy. Colli I anil Jackson were playing a strong game at half, never allowing the Inter-City climapious' front line to settle down. Boothman put James In possession, and beating two men on the run he registered goal No. 2 with a shot of the unsavable nature. The slippery ground seemed to suit James; when in possession he was always dangerous and was hard to dislodge from the ball. This reverse seemed to nettle Nanaimo, and their forwards made strenuous efforts to reduce the leeway. A cross from Pilling striking Hie upright the ball rolled Into the net, out of Clark's reach. Cumberland again took the game lu hand, James having hard luck with a shot that bouced off the goalkeepers' leg, Half-time was called with the B. C. champions leading hy the odd goal, a lead they well deserved, their play being much superior and their front rank combining better together. Cumberland were the aggressors on resuming, and In spite .of the wind nnd rniii they hovered around Rout- ledge's charge. James put the finishing touch to a shot from Wylle and Ihe game on Ice for Cumberland. Content with their two-goal lead the champions played a defensive game, the Inside men falling back and assisting the halves. Nanaimo had most of the play towards the finish, hut were seldom dangerous, Campbell and Strang taking care of anything that came their way, and Clark was seldom called upon to handle n shot. On the other hand Cumberland were often dangerous, Harrison beating Chester repeatedly, Continued on Page Two.

Coming Sat, Oct. 9th WILLIAM FARNUM The Great WILLIAM FARNUM Star of Stars — IN — Wolves of the Night You talk about oils and fata, sugars ami starches, soups and meats, water and salts as good food. Some school children try to talk to you in more modern terms about proteins, carbohydrates, minerals and calories, but ami tqiifY and tell them "not to talk back io try to correct their elders, but to speak only when apoken to." Then you promptly forget all about such "new tangled, hifalutin stuff and non sense," and tho college girl or boy thus suppressed and soon graduated, drifts back into tbe language of tbe folks at home and soon ignores the mushroom, classroom knowledge. Calories have ceased to bo anything in his young life. lie all this as it may, there are certain elemental substances in foods, which your grandmothers .knew not of, that must be recognized, understood aud remembered tor all time and every day. They are vital to human health aud well being, hence their name vilamines. When your baby's heud sweats and a little bald place occurs on the back of its head from rubbing the pillow, the old nurses and gossips, who have "buried dozens of babies and know more than any doctor," will tell you "il Is nothing and is a sign of riches, Known of Old. But it is something and a sign only of possible riches for doctors, drug gistii and undertakers. That perspiry spot means rickets, and rickets is a nutritional disorder which appears when there is a lock of vitamines in the infant's food. If mother's milk is uot complete in vitamines, it may have albumen, fat, sugar, water, fertilisers and a perfect caloray measurement. but the baby will suffer and may waste away even though '.'it is the picture of health" otherwise. Similarly, a lot of prize babies may he fat, chubby and full of laughter, yet be anaemic, rickety or with scur- vey because vitamines are absent from their food. You can never be sure that you get enough vitamines in your daily fare to maintain your health against tlio first onslaught of pneumonia, typhoid, dysentry or some otber malady or microbe which is blamed for your long suffering or deatli—a discredit which should he lodged against lack of vita mines in your victuals and drink. Although the name vttamine. which trips now so lightly from almost every school child's lips, is new to many older persons, it has been known for several generations that the terribl disease—scurvy, whicb broke out on sailing vessels long out at sea—came from too much salt pork, canned beans and other foods none too fresh. Arctic explorers told how scurvy decimated the ranks of the Eskimos. Fresh orange juice and freshy leafy vegetables cured them. About eight years or so ago the term vitamine was brought into use by Prof. Funk as applicable to some quality -or substances in fresh foods which had the power to cure scurvy, pellagra, obesity of a certain type, beri-heri, rickets and neuritis of "one kind. Where It's Found. Prof. McCallum of Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene hy a series of brilliant experiments, proved that you can eat all the meat, fish, sugar, fat and mineral foods at the most expensive hotels or in your own home, cooked by the greatest chef, yet they would ill he inadequate for normal health, growth and development and even lay you open to tho lirst breath of disease if vitamines were not present. The reason Jo\\ys are usually iu better ivorage health than some other races is .perhaps due to Moses' discovery that butter should be used and not lard, ns cooking fat. Vitamines are not dispensable a: drugs, medicines, condiments or chem icals, hut tliey are indispensable food combination which cnu he served tn the form of compressed yeast tablets. Play safe and be sure thnt you and your loved ones receive their fair share of vitamines, besides oranges, apples, butter, milk, cheese, cod oil and otlier fresli pabulum. A number of good physicians recommend those who are obese, anemic, emotionally deficient, emaciated, bloated, rundown or ill with signs of rickets, scurvy, pellagra, fever or beri-heri, to take tablets of yeast of the types very much in vitamines. If this is done, with tho power and improvement which go with sunlight aud an outdoor life, numerous discomforts blamed upon almost everything but the right thing, will disappear as the mist of the valley hefore the sunrise.

Cumberland came within an ace of adding to their score, Home Just missing a header by inches in the goal mouth, and In his anxiety pulling the ball down with his hand. Time (was called with both teams showing tlie effects of a hard and trying game. Cumberland well deserved their win, Nanaimo being seldom dangerous after the first ten minutes. Clark in goal had very little to do, while Routledge was worked overtime, but wus in no way to blame for his team's defeat. Campbell and Strang gave a great display at back, their tackling and covering up being worth watching. As a pair, they will be hard to equal in B. C. Jackson and Conti played a useful and interesting game at half, Teddy being up against the Inter-City champions' crack wing, O'Brien and Robertson, but never allowed them any rope, while Conti had Filling's measure and attended to him like a father to his boy. James was probably the most brilliant player on the field, his exhibition at centre being away above the usual standard seen In this province. Three goals in oue game against a defense like the inter-city champions, takes some getting. Harrison and Home, on the left, gave a line display. Andy has lots of pel) and had hard lines with two or three attempts at goal. Boothman stood the hard going and lasted better than some of the younger ones. On the run of tlie play, Nanaimo were outplayed and outclassed In every department of tho Held, and Cumberland should have nothing to rear In the return game tomorrow.

WIER, Returning Officer, FOOTBALL NOTES At a meeting of the Upper Island League Association held in Nanaimo on September 25th, J. Wargo of Ladysmith was suspended from taking an active part in football for the malnder of the season, for striking thc referee during the game between Lndysmith and Nanaimo City. The protest entered by Ladysmith In connection with the same game was disallowed. Why did Strang shake the ball before placing lt for a goal kick during the latter portion of the game? Was It wet? THE FRENCH-CANADIAN HORSE ONE OF THE BEST It takes more than rain to keep Nanaimo fans at home when Cumberland are playing, and some ot them do love Campbell! Why? Seek the favor of those to whom you wish happiness, rather than of those from whom you hope to gain an advantage.—La Bruyere. The French-Canadian horse, which ls comparatively little known outside the province of Quebec, is claimed to be one of the most durable and otherwise useful horses to he found any- wehere ln Canada. In bulletin 95 of the Experimental Farms, the author, Mr. Gus Langcller, points out that this breed is descended from the old-time French-Canadian pony, sent from France to Canada by Louis XIV. These ponies were of the best that could be procured in their native land. They remained for three years the property of the king, and were then distributed among the farmers of Canada. In order to encourage thc 'development of agriculture. Some few years ago thc pedigree records of the French-Canadian horse, maintained by the Quebec Government, wore transferred to the National Live Stock Records. Other steps have been taken to maintain the breed as pure as possible. One of thc latest methods, as pointed out in Ihe bulletin, which can be obtained from tlie Publications Branch of thc Department ot Agriculture, Ottawa, lias been the establishment of a horse breeding frnm nt St. Joachim, situated some twenty-five miles oast of Quebec City. This farm, wblcb is operated under the Experimental Farms system, hns some thirty well selected brood mares. These, together with fifteen of similar quality, kept on tlie Experimental Station at Cap Rouge, Quebec, form a collection from which it ls hoped to produce a superior new foundation stock for the breed.

I'd lead earth so gently . To dreamland's fair shore Till she caught a sweet vision Of Eden once more.

Prompt Service FIRST CLASS REPAIRS Full line of Accessories, including some choice AUTO RUGS AT REASONABLE PRICES Cumberland Motor Works New Freight Rates Will Mean Sharp Advance In Foodstuffs Manufacturers and Wholesalers Do Not View With Approval the Advance of Forty Per Cent, in Freight Rates—"Will Bear Very Heavily on the Cost of Living," Says One Manufacturer. Discussing the new freight increase with representative manufacturers, aud with A. C. Pyke, secretary of the Canadian Wholesale Grocers' Association, vigorous protest waB voiced against the advance. The opinion generally shared is that the increase ls Inopportune, at a time when people are looking for a decline In prices. The now freight rates, representing an advance of thirty-live and forty per cent., cannot help but mean higher prices for foodstuffs. "Th new freight increase will bear very heavily on tho cost of living," remarked C. 11. Wieushall of the White Swan Spices & Cereals Co., Ltd., to the "Canadian Grocer" of Toronto. "It will affect the cost of the raw material, then of the manufactured article, again to the wholesale trade, and in turn to the retailer, and ultimately the burden of the increase must be borne by the consumer. There Is no justification for the increase at the present time, when everyone Is looking for for tho cost of living to come down rather tban go higher. The individual consumer should not be called upon to bear tlie additional expenditure of higher wages for railway employees. It should be borne by tile country as a whole." Speaking for the wholesale grocers, A. C. Pyke, the secretary, remarked that tlie Wholesalers' Association had already registered a strong protest against the proposed increases. The association had asked that the in- increase be reckoned only on the needs of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and these, Mr. Pyke did not think, were very great. He did not think the advance would be as high as forty per cent. "It must of course mean higher prices for foodstuffs, and at all the different sources where the increase applies, food values will be very materially affected," Mr. Pyke added. Further protest will undoubtedly be made against the new rates by the wholesalers. "The new freight rateB will mean twenty-five cents per barrel more ln the price of flour," stated Gordon Doddiugton, of the Western Canada Flour Hills. "This advance will decrease tlie amount of the recent decline on all crop government standard flour to 35 cents per barrel, instead of sixty cents as announced recently. At a time when everyone ls looking for prices to decline, the new freight rate increase seems very Inopportune." ORIGIN OF THK BLANKET We would consider It a hardship not to have a soft woolly blanket under which to snuggle on a cold winter night. Yet there was a time when a blanket was unknown, and we owe its invention to poverty. Years ago a man in England lost all his wealth and became very poor, One cold winter night in 1340 he used a piece of rough, unfinished cloth for a bed covering to keep himself worm. Evidently neither his poverty nor the cold made him dull, for from this makeshift bed covering he invented the blanket. The name of this man was Thomas Blanket, aud the new kind of bedding has been known under the name of blanket ever since. LITTLE DROPS OF WATER It has been said that people are as Ignorant of the size of the sea as they are of matters dealing with astronomy. Few persons are aware, for instance, that the Pacific Ocean covers 68,000,- 000 miles; the Atlantic 30,000,000 miles and tlie Indian Ocean, Arctic and Antarctic 42,000,000 miles. To stow away the contents of the Pacific Ocean lt would be necessary to fill a tank one mile long, one mile wide, and oue mile deep, every day for 440 years. The Pacific holds in weight 984,000,- 000,000,000,000,000 tons. The Atlantic Oceau averages a depth of not quite three miles. A tank to contain its waters would have Bides 430 miles long.

BICKLE Manager aud Publisher. BEN H. GOWEiN' Editor. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 11121). POLICE AND PROHIBITION Sir Charles llibbert Tupper, iu replying to a correspondent who sought to argue that because the Mounted Police successfully coped with illicit trade in whiskey on the prairies in 1S74, similar effective svork could >e done in British Columbia, says that the circumstances are entirely different, The Provincial Police (second to none) have signally tailed simply because a bare majority ot* voters cannot make a law effective when the law offends the sense ot those who respect the law of God. In the early days of the construction of the C. P. K. drastic laws had some force. The legislation referred to was temporary for peculiar and exceptional conditions. With all such experience a lending Canadian statesman, Edward Blake—leader of the Liberal Party—himself a total abstainer—hit the nail on the head in lSSti at Ayimer wben he said: "I think no repressive legislation can be prolitable or permanent unless there exists a widely diffused and very strongly-felt and very earnest public opinion at its back," and again, "more than a majority of the people must be brought to tlie con vlction that drink is a direct outrage and irredeemable curse which ought to lie outlawed from among men1 (quoted from the Mail newspaper) and adding, "therefore 1 cannot honestly vote for prohibition now." Our present amorphous botch called the Prohibition Act is notoriously violated by an enormous number of men who as citizens were always regarded as "good men and true." It does seem to me that hysterical appeals by men of the gospel wbo advocate drastic prohibition laws in respect of this particular matter have lost faith lu the power of the gospel and moral suasion. There are now, I am glad to know, a large number of ministers of the gospel who are content to follow the teachings and example of our Saviour and who recognize as lie did that gifts of God may be abused but should nol therefore be prohibited. The abuse only is condemned. A WORLD COURT Acceptance, amendment or rejection of-the plan for the permanent court of arbitration will be part of the business to come before the assembly oi the League of Nations when it meets in November. The creation of this per manent court of international justice is provided for by the Covenant of the League of Nations. If the plan that has been framed is accepted by tlie League, the court will be formed at once and will at once enter upon the functions. In selecting the judges for this court, a panel will lie submitted by llie existing court of arbitration at The Hague. Small nations and large will lie represented In the panel, but when the council and the assembly of the League of Nations pick the judges they will select only llftecll, so of course a number of nations will huve no direct repre sentations ou the court. Nations having litigation liefore the court may have representatives on the bench, but majority will decide all cases. The greatest difficulty experienced In drawing up the plan for the permanent court was in reconciling the inter ests of the small nations with the large. Elaborate provisions have been made so as to reassure small nations that they may not fear the dominating influence of the large ones. The jurisdiction of this world court Is limited to four classes of disputes, but its use is made compulsory within these limits. This because if its Jurisdiction were based on voluntary agreement to litigate before it, lawless governments would of course decline to submit their cases to its decision. It is providod that ■ a government refuse to appear before the court, when summoned, the case will be heard aud the decision given full publicity, so that impartial nations may know where tlie right of tlie dispute lies. The following classes of cases are to be dealt with: (1) Interpretation of treaties; (2) applications of international law or of custom and usage having the force of law; (3) questions of fact alleged to involve violations of international law; (4) questions of reparation or redress where international law has clearly been violated. The court, it must be remembered, is a part of the machinery of the League of Nations. Since every nation, with the exception of the United States and two or three like Mexico and Turkey, will be part of the League, holding out against it will be a position which the civilized world never expected to see the United States occupy. According to the "Fleet Review," a man presented himself for enlistment who said that- his mother was an American who bail married a Frenchman in Italy, lie said further that be was born on n ship Hying thc Spanish lirst race for the Cold Cup was witnessed by George lll.'s colors while sbe was lying in thc English Channel, that his parents having died in Sweden when he was live, lie was adopted by a German who brought him up in tbe United State:. Tiie man who adopted him was not a naturalized citizen. "Wouhl you class him us a man without a someone asked tbe recruiting oflicer. "Thunder the reply; "I'd class hlm as a League of Nations.' country?' . no!" was doubt in bitterness of soul, that from liis knowledge of political conditions iu Newfoundland during the past two or three years lie would consider it disastrous to the interests of tbat country if such an inquiry into the conduct of some of his late advisers were held. This remark was necessarily confidential, but tlie Prime Minister did not seem to appreciate that governmental principle and later, when speaking on a public platform cited the Governor's words in support of a diatribe of his own against his political opponents. Following the amenities of Newfoundland politics his veracity was questioned and he followed up his speech with an affidavit giv ing tlie Governor's words in greater detail. His Excellency is therefore placed in a pretty predicament, although lie has so far chosen to Ignore the matter. Since lie only mentioned "some of liis late advisers" the demand is made that he give names and separate the sheep from the goats. Then the question is raised: why, If ho was convinced of the sinister nature of some of these late advisers, did he not invoke the Crown prerogative lo di-mlss them from office? Newfoundlanders are sticklers for constitutional points, and they carry the argument even further. For instance, a Cabinet (it Is argued), is one and indivisible, and one Cabinet Minister is responsible for the acts of all ao long as he remains a member of the ministry; ergo, all members of tlie Lloyd-Cashlu Government are guilty of conduct that would be disastrous to Newfoundland's reputation abroad If ventilated. And so the argument goes on ad infinitum. It would appear that His Excellency, who was obviously actuated by a desire to end the carnival of political recrimination which has been in progress for some years, by suggesting that the Prime Minister let bygones be bygones has unintentionally got himself Inextricably mixed up in 8 partisan affray, and will be a storm centre until the next political marc's nest is discovered.—Saturday Night. WAITING By CARLTON FITCHETT. A goodly portion of our lives is spent in futile waiting— uot counting waiting on our wives, that goes without my stating. And thus we nobly serve, so says Jack Milton, big league poet; they had no slreet cars iu his days nor ljeal trains, you know it. We wait from crudle to the grave, it seems to be our hoodo; 1 have to wait to get a shave, and it's a cinch that you do. We have to wait for boat or train in fair or stormy weather and with a blat of high disdain our nanny slips its tether. We have lo wait lo cross tbe street, to hasten Would be tolly, and we've grown bullions on our feet from waiting for the trolley. We wait for prices to decline, to catch the elevator; we wait when we go forth to dine; we wait upon the waller. We wait to get a raise in pay, for weather fair and sunny, and hopefully await some jay to pay us back some money. We wait to bear the llnal score, we may as well be candid; we stand in line to get ashore before the boat has landed. Hie other day I went to see a lawyer, suave and shifty. A card read, "I'll be back al three," 'twas then about three- fifty. I waited mnny minutos drear, my wrath kept mounting higher, till on his card 1 wrote, "1 fear that you're a hopeless liar."

What makes this uusual is that so ew landlords wait till the tenant dies. A speaker at a municipal debate on child labor ls re-i ported to have said the other day: "I want to see au equal ihance for those children born with a silver spoon and hose with a lick and shovel iu their mouths." Word conies from Boston that a commission will reset Plymouth Rock, but at this distance It isn't clear whether they are talking about a lien of that well-known breed or the famous boulder of Puritan fame.

Theodore Roosevelt was at times spectacular in bis emphasis of religious fundamentals. A story of his conversation witli the newspaper correspondent who insisted that he could worship as reverently under a tree with a cigar and a hook or in the Ileitis or on the hills with his dog, is typical. "Doubtless you can, my friend, but no one would ever suspect you ot it," he snapped.

POLITICAL MERRY-GO-ROUND ■ A correspondent from thc codfish zone writes: "if Canada wants an Irish problem all she has to do is to get Newfoundland into Confederation The political dog days down hero last the year round." Tbls was meant by way of commentary on the latest political embrogllo In the most ancient colony, which involves His Excellency the Governor, Sir Charles Alexander Harris, K.C, M.G., and his chief advisor, lion. Richard Squires. The Prime Minister Is, comparatively speaking, a new comer in office, having defeated the Lloyd-Cashin regime at the polls some months ago. It appears that there wore demands in Hon. Mr. Squires' political fold that the conduct of the members of tho preceding Government should be Investigated. When tlie Governor was approached on the matter, he remarked, no queen aud "the three princesses in white Spanish mantles and the Prince of Wales glorious in bottle-green." Thirty- seven years later the Czar Nicholas I. was so delighted with (he race lor the cup that ho begged to be allowed to ubstiluto a pine of plate, which, appropriately enough, was won in tho following yenr by Lord Albemarle's Emperor, so named In honor of the Czar.

The heaviest wood is quebracho, at 71 pounds, or half again as heavy as water, and spruce, an average wood, 27 pounds a cubic foot. Spruce is so strong a wood, with a fair degree of lightness, that it is considered indispensable for airplane construction.

Chevrolet Enjoyment ceases to be complete when you feel it is extravagant. The certainty that a car conserves your money—that its every feature renders you the utmost service, is the most gratifying feeling about it. That is why more people buy Chevrolets in preference to heavier types that are a burden on the pocket- books The experience of veteran motorists has proven that the Chevrolet affords you all the feelings essential to complete enjoyment. Pride in its appearance and absolute confidence in its dependability alone guarantee your peace of mind. Yet in addition the Chevrolet offers every riding and driving comfort and equipment convenience. These things are to be enjoyed equally in a Chevrolet as in other cars. But in the Chevrolet alone can you enjoy them at such low cost. That is the peculiar attraction of the Chevrolet—all essential features other cars afford, but at lower cost.

THE CUMBERLAND ISLANDER Five 'Luxury Tax Removed from Electric Heating Appliances You will be interested to know that the efforts of manufacturers of Electric Heating Appliances and of others interested, have been cnccessful in securing the removal of the 10 per cent. Luxury Tax on nickle- plated Electric Heating Appliances. We quote herewith a recent letter from R. W. Bread- ner, Commissioner of Taxation, to a manufacturer of appliances: . "In reply to your letter of the 15th inst., I may state that the luxury tax applies to articles plated with gold or silver adapted for household or office use. Nickle- plated electric heating appliances are exempt." Some of the more important arguments used were: 1st—In almost all communities of the Dominion ot Canada it is actually more economical to iron, toast, cook, etc., with electric appliances than by any other method. The proposed legislation, therefore, would be taxing an economy rather than a luxury. 2nd—Appliances made from steel and iron require a covering of something to protect them from the action of rust. Nickle is the best and most economical for this purpose.

KILL THE LADY KILLERS An exhibit of "lady killers," the kind found in too many homes, is being put on In different parts of the State of Washington by the Washington State College extension department and the United States Department of Agriculture. The exhibition wherever the exhibit has been held has been iu the hundreds, both men and women finding much of interest. Among the "lady killers" are found the washboard, the sad iron, tlie scrub brush, the water pail, the short- tiaudled dustpan, the axe, and a number of implements with which many women are obliged to do their work. To offset the "lady killers" was another exhibit of ways aud means of lightening work iu the home. In this were Included "kitchen Jitneys"—a type of tea wagon—lceless refrlger- ators, washing machines, plans for simple water systems, tireless cookers, fruit and vegetable dryers, oil stoves, portable gas makers, and hydraulic rams. Several manufacturers showed light and power plants suitable for farm homes at the same exhibit. Small conveniences costing anywhere from 5c to 25c were also displayed. Getting more conveniences for doing work into tiie home Is the aim of every home demonstration agent. Last year, Ihruugth their advice and by their aid, thousands of labor-saving devices ami conveniences were installed in country homes, thereby lessening the housewife's work and increasing efficiency, comfort and enjoyment of lite.

If China receives a helping hand in these, her days of unfoldment, and if America and the nations of Europe stand by her, she will grow to be one of the greatest powers lu tlle world, according to W. F. Cox, manager of an importing firm in Hongkong and Canton. "China certainly Is In a way to be one of the greatost.powers—a power for good—in the world If she ls helped by other nations lu power," said Mr. Cox. "There are 400,000,000 people ln China, the largest population of any single country In the world. They are just awakening to self-realization and we owe them a duty. If lt Is performed we shall see the development of a country of enormous resources, peopled by men und women with the highest sense of honor aud duty. If we neglect our opportunities, China will undoubtedly be subdued and overrun by more warlike people and her great resources, which are-so necessary to the world, will be quite lost. Her great philosophers aud scientists are also needed in the advancement of the powerful nations. "From my point of view China even now Is a better place to live lu than any Occidental country, and a Chinaman is a much better friend than an American, which is saying a good deal. There is no one who has ever really known a Chinaman of high rank and gained his friendship but will attest that in loyalty, unselfishness aud de- dotion to the Ideals of friendship be is surpassed by no man on earth. I have lived among the Chinese for a great many years, and have learned to know them well and to regard many of them as brothers. I would rather trust my honor and my happiness to the hands of some of the friends I have gained in China than I would do to any one I know In this country. That is a strong statement, but lt Is absolutely true. "The Chinese have many traducers, and I want to take my Btaud against tbem one and all. Because tbe customs of the Orient and those of the Occident very widely, we condemn what we do not understand. Chinese customs are different, lt, ls true, but thoy are lovely and logical. For instance, In China, when two of your acquaintances serthe day for tlieir marriage, they do not at once invite you to the wedding, and thus unload upon you tbe necessity of giving a present, which only too frequently is extracted from you unwillingly. The fact is simply given out as news to the world ln general. If you have an affection for young people and desire to add to their happiness, of your own volition, you send a gift, and then— and not until then—you are Invited to the marriage ceremony. It is a delicate and courteous distinction.

They deal with the rapidly- Increasing toll of human life, which, accoi'dnlg to.General Secretary S. J. Williams, is the price of the modern speed craze. The "motor menace," as he calls it, has become a problem demanding grave study by national and State law-makers, aud by all organizations having to do with public welfare. Official statistics for the current year, according to the report of tbe Executive of the Safety Council, show that "three times as many people are killed by automobiles as are killed ln all the factories, mines, railroads and other industries in America." During the last four months one person was killed by an automobile in the United States every thirty-live minutes. In lhat time the deaths from this cause were over twenty-live per cent, greater than during the similar period of the previous year. The report addB, for the purpose of comparison, a British official statement dealing with tlie commercial development of the aeroplane. It shows that over 75,000 persons were carried upon aerial Journeys in Great Britain last year with but one fatality. According to the estimates prepared for the Council the terrible death toll from automobiles is due almost entirely to reckless driving and the craze for speed. Ninety-seven per cent, of the fatalities are described to these two causes. But because the killings have increased in au even greater proportion than have the number of uuto- moblles in use the council believes tbe situation should be given the immediate, consideration by thc automobile makers of the country "unless they expect soon to be confronted by a great volume of hostile public opinion." It must be clear that such a staggering death rate cannot continue without causing unusual action. Safety legislation can be tightened and strengthened, but legislation cannot do everything. Thc great need is for the development of a strong and elfec- tlve sentiment among owners of automobiles themselves against the reckless driver and the speed fiend.—Toronto Globe.

Prohibition In America has its tragic and its comic side. On the tragic side are to be reckoned the increasing power of fanaticism and bigotry, the wholesale poisoning by deadly substitutes for decent drink, the annihilation of simple comfort, the creation of a new army of criminals, the infusion into society of a horde of detestable spies and informers, and the extinction of the very principles of personal liberty. But the Prohibition regime Is not without its lighter, and even Its ludicrous, aspects. Not the least of them is the desperate efl'ort made In the first-class American hotels to maintain the semblance of convivial drinking. An elaborate dinner lists presents fifty kinds of drinks—apple champagne, raspberry hock, daudelton cocktails, and such abominations. Nothing is more ludricous than to see a fashionably dressed supper-party In New York, with a deferential waiter beside them, gravely debating as between California grape juice and thimbleberry port. When the grape juice is finally selected it is carried in by two waiters, lying ou its side In a little wicker las!":'., held up to tlie light for verl- ficatlon, uncorked with profound care, ;*.i"! presented first to the host, so that he may be duly satisfied of the vintage and the bouquet. Mess of this sort is actually sold at two dollars a pint. It Is bought by people v ho continue with pathetic insistence to hope that if they drink enough of it it may at last go to their heads. Another giddy concoction is the aw ful stuff called Temperance Beer. It is bottled and labelled and corked and wired as if—poor thing!—lt might really burst itself out of its prison through tlie mad strength of lt. Alas! when it in let loose it gurgles feebly into the glass and lies there dead! If a skilled chemist were to analyze this maddening beverage he would find it to contain one-half of one per cent, of spirits. It is estimated that if person wore to drink four buckets of Ihis lie would feel—among other sensations—a certain exhilaration. Yet such is the fond regret of suffering humanity Hint millions of gallons of this unspeakable slush are being sold in the United States and In "dry" Can ada every day. lt Is carried on the cars, sewed on the steamers, sold at the seaside, supplied in the mountains and advertised in huge lettering over about six million square miles of territory. Before the coming of Prohibition not a single pint of it could have been sold among a hundred million people. Even now it is not thought good form to drink more than twenty glasses ofl it in all evening. Prohibition Banquets. Equally ludicrous to the verge of pathos are the Prohibition "banquets," which replace In the United States and in "dry" Canada Hie celebrations that are no more. Let the reader Imagine himself at a banquet in the gay Province of On tnrio. It is well to take our example from the Province of Ontario Inasmuch as many people in England quite wrongly asosciate Prohibition exclusively with the United States, If there Is any State in the United States where the temper of the governing minority is more fanatical, where hypocrisy is rifer, where liberty is more suppressed, where the name of religion is more freely invoked to cover the sins of the tyrant and tlle informer, than is tbe case ill Ontario, that State is in a bad way Indeed. Let us take, then, Ontario for the scene of our illustration of what a "temperance" banquet Is like. The toastmaster rises with a glass of lemonade in liis hand—merry fellow!—and proposes tbe health of the King! There is a tremendous popping of ginger-beer corks, a running to and fro of waiters with foaming bottles of pop and sarsaparilia. Then all rise and with due solemnity vociferate "Tbe King!" and splash thc foaming pop down tlieir eager throats. The chairman then reminds the guests that they have with them Mr. Stodge, a member of tlie Prohibition Cabinet of Ontario. Ho will ask Mr. Stodge to address them. Mr. Stodge rises. Ho bus besldo hlm a great bundle of notes and blue books. He speaks for an hour. The question of dandelion wine, he says, Is receiving their most earnest consideration. It is proposed to introduce in Ihe forthcoming session an amendment to the Dandelion Wine Prohibition Act of last year, which will lie based upon the recent Spruce Beer Annihilation Act. (Applause.) At the end of this speech the chairman rises and says, "Now, gentlemen, if you please, refill your glasses; wo will listen to the Ilcv. A. Whine, who will propose the toast of 'Home and Mother.'" is the man who has the chief credit lor having stopped the children of Ontario from sleighriding on Sundays, is reeted with terrific applause. He is glad to say that the Courts of the Province have fully sustained the action of the police iu stopping tbe practice of tobogganing for boyB and girls on Sunday afternoon. He looks forward confidently to the time when every child, under penalty of the law,* will be forced to spend Sunday afternoon in a Sunday School: either there or the jail—he does not care which. 9 Pointing Moral for England. He deplores the fact that in the lost Province of Quebec children are actually allowed to play games ln the public parks on the Sabbath. This speaker- is folowed by a light talk from a leading statesman, three- quarters of an hour, on railroad sta tistics, and by an hour's chat on the nationalization of the hog-packing Indus! ry. At the end of which tho chair man invites ail present to rise and sing "God Save the King"! And If any reader of the Sunday Pic torial should doubt the accuracy of thc above account, let hlm read in the public press of the Dominion of Canada the account of the suppression under the law of Ontario, of the children's tobogganing on Sunday in the parks and playgrounds of the City of Ottawa. But the comedies of Prohibition in America should serve only to point all the more strongly the moral for the people of England. The morning papers of the day on which I write announce that "three great Canadians" have left to assist Scotland "in her Prohibition campaign." Great indeed they must be, though I have never heard their names before, since they are labelled "fleld secretarls" of the tiling called the Dominion Alliance. If the people of Britain feel a sort of moral wave sweeping over them about this time, It will mean that the "fleld secretaries" have lit. Let me say on behalf of all the decent people in Canada that If these "Held secretaries" make a hit In Bri tain we shall be only too glad to have them stay there forever. PORTSMOUTH HAS REAL GHOST SCARE PORTSMOUTH.—A ghost scare has just thrilled the dockyards of Ports mouth, where hundreds of men and women passed the whole of a night recently watching "a woman dressed ill white, with gently swaying body, standing beside an open window of a house that had long been deserted." The ghost was flrst seen by children playing in the street in the evening. They ran from Hie place screaming and soon a large crowd of men and women gathered and saw the Bpectre. Bricks were thrown at the apparition but still the swaying body remained beside the window, continuing always its mournful see-saw. Its invulnerability convinced the crowd that they were really looking at something supernatural, but examination of the room the next morning revealed that the ghost was only a strip of hanging wallpaper, upon which the rays ot a street lamp fell. FIRE DANGERS OF ELECTRIC IRONS Legislation Should Require Safety Attachments on Electrically Heated Appliances. An electric iron left turned on Two stores and a cottage completely destroyed.—Winnipeg Free Press. Electrical appliances In the home are of great convenience, but they are, it the same time, a fire danger. Familiarity with tlieir use breeds carelessness, which has resulted In heavy fire losses. From reports received by fire marshals, these are rapidly increasing. From tests It has beon found that lire will break out In from 15 to 90 minutes when the electric Iron Is left In circuit on a table or ironing board, the time Intervening depending upon the surface material. Many devices have been invented to make electric irons lire-safe. Unfortunately, however, price has been a ruling factor in the sale of this convenience, with the result that cheapness necessarily eliminates the safety attachments. In the absence of public regulation requiring their use, there is little hope of their general adoption. Until the enforcement of legislation requiring fire-safe attachments on all electrically-heated appliances, freedom from flreB due to this cause must, therefore, depend upon educating the public to a recognition of the danger.

CUMBERLAND ISLANDER Seveii Music and Photoplays "EVERYWOMAN" HAS LAVISH SETTINGS Beautiful Women Disport ■ at Monster Banquet Board—, One of Screen's Best. The news., that Walter Browne's morality play, "Everywoman," hud been made into a motion picture was no surprise to those acquainted with this dramatic masterpiece. Its striking story and manifold opportunities for spectacular scenic effects makes lt admirable screen material. Tlle basts for a magnificent cinema speetacle was there. It remained for the directing skill of George H. Melford, the acting ability of au unusually excellent cast, and line artistry In arranging the elaborate scenic effects to transform "Everywoman" Into the beautiful photoplay that ls being shown at the Ilo-Ilo Theatre this afternoon and evening. Here Is a dramatic production thut Is manifestly even better suited to the screen than It is to Hie stage. It requires au expansiveness that the cramped quarters of the largest stage will not admit. Quite probably the screen version of "Everywoman" has realized more perfectly the author's conception of his story than have all tbe productions of the play since its famous premier In New York In 1911. East" and "Under Cover." As is quite well known, "Every- woman" Is In the main allegorical in character, The story opens much as a drama of ordinary life. A beautiful girl at a bazaar is wooed by a millionaire, an actor, and a poor physician. She Is also beselged by the offer ot a stage manager to embrace a dramatic career. Thereupon the story becomes a transcript of the journey of Life. The heroine becomes Everywoman, the millionaire is Wealth, the actor Passion, and the other characters bear similar names. Everywoman Is urged to go upon the Stage of Life by Flattery to seek King Love. Her long Journey leads her through many pitfalls, past the temptations of Wealth and Passion, until finally Bhe reaches the humble hut of Love. Scenes of lavish splendor form the setting for the story. The revels ln the magnificent palace ot Wealth, where scores of beautiful women dispart of which encircles a swimming pool and the other a dance hall, and the episodes In the great gaming hall are among the most elaborate ever screened. The bazaar at the opening of the story Is virtually a great fashion show. Women arrayed like birds move through the picture like extraordinarily clad mannequins exhibiting the latest creations of fashion. In the midst of tills pleasing pageantry, however, the character of the story has not been lost sight of tor a moment. It Is convincingly and logically developed as the simplest drama. The players do not merely walk through their parts, as Is sometimes the case in spectacular Alms of this sort. The settings are extravagant, but the Btory Is the thing, and everything has been fittingly subordinated to this great moving drama of life itself. action Immediately, so they cut cards to determine who shall marry the leader of the prohibition forces. Billy draws thc higli card and calls on Mrs. Bittlnger. She shows bim the family album containing pictures of her four former husbands, and as she becomes too affectionate, Billy beats a hasty retreat. Then tbe boys turn the saloon into a soda parlor, using a number of pretty city girls as waitresses. This riles the white-ribbon women because their husbands, who were never allowed to frequent the place while it was a saloon, now flock there In droves. There Ben saves the lives of many workers by bis medical attention and redeems himself in the eyes of Hope. Jordan, the "prohibitionist," has turned Martha's head—they are riding in the country nearby when Martha Hnds a bottle of liquor in his coat. Jordan loses his temper and in the struggle Martha (alls into tho swlfi mountain stream which carries her away. Jordan shows his character by slinking off, but Billy, who has been watching them, rescues Martha and takes her home. This ls a gripping story throughout, with a big, human theme, and au appealing love story. ss ss ss 'THREE MEN AND A GIRL" A CHARMING PICTURE Three Professed Woman Haters Brought to Reason by a Lovely Girl.

Jilted by a woman lie loved devotedly, Julius Vanneman, a violinist, vows to eschew the society of women henceforth. Dr. Henry Forsyth, who ls constitutionally a hater of women, has undertaken to guide his friends along paths not frequented by women, and the three men spend most o their time moping at their club. But It hapuens tbat the telephone at the club Is frequently employed by certain women for the purpose of getting into communication with these bears, and after they had been disturbed several times by telephone calls, they decide to seek solitude In the country. They rent a country home belonging to Sylvia Weston's father and meditate in seclusion upon the vagaries and shocking inconsistencies of womankind. Meanwhile, Sylvia Wilson is being arrayed for her wedding to a man Bhe cannot countenance. At the palatial country home where the nuptials are to be celebrated, many guests have gathered. Sylvia creates a diversion when the ceremony begins by fleeing incontinently and hiding in the woods, whence she makes her way to her father's home where the three men are domiciled. Her wedding linery is in a sorry state wheu she gets there, and being quite hungry she eats the food placed on the table tor the consumption of the three women haters. She dines sumptuously and wrapping her wedding gown about her, she lies down On a couch and falls asleep. When the three men return to their duelling, they are amazed to find the sleeping Sylvia.

A wisp of a creature left to the charity of a none too charitable world, she is finally left In the care of Harry Bryant, a young playwright. The child's Ignorance Is appalling- she can't even read or write, but her Innocence is as refreshing as apple blossoms, and, one day Harry, without looking forward to that not far distant day when he will have to take her to the city and compare her crudenesB and Ignorance with his social world, thinks only of his love for her Innocence of life, and marries her.

Will Rogers Will Make You Laugh Till It Hurts in This Goldwyn Picture. "Water, Water Everywhere-" Is not only dry humor but tlle title of Will Rogers' latest Goldwyn picture which will be shown at the Ilo-Ilo Theatre on Monday evening. It Is a wholesome story of a self-saci'lflclng, big-hearted, lovable cowboy who foregoes his love for a girl in order tbat she may marry the man she lovos. This photoplay Is the plcturlzation of William R. Lighton's "Billy Fortune" series—Will Rogers portraying the part of Billy Fortune. The scene ls laid in a small western town. Billy comes to town to have his teeth llxed —and finds relief at the bar. Billy Is devoted to Hope Beecher (Irene Rich) Hie daughter of one of the sterling pioneers. Hope considers Billy more as a pal, and ls greatly interested in Ben Morgan (Wade Boteler), the town doctor who had let demon rum get the best of him. Hope's sister, Martha, comes home from college and at the same time Lyman Jennings Jordan, a hypocritical prohibition worker, arrives In town, having been summoned by the Women's Club, hfeaded by Fay Bittlnger. The women of the place have decided that John Barleycorn and Ills them, and tbey nre plainly in a quandary.

When a man has been insane five years, then recovers to find fortune stolen, and wife remarried, he's in hard luck. But this man has red blood, courage and two hard lists. See how he deals with foes. William Farnum, the famous star of William Fox photoplays, will be seen at the Ilo-Ilo Theatre on Satur day next, October 9, ln his latest de luxe production, "Wolves of the Night," said to be the most powerfully dramatic picture ln which this great screen star has been seen. The story ls of a mining engineer who, having sought In vain for copper ore In his land in the Northwest, has converted It Into a sheep ranch. Adjoining Is a mining plant in full operation, owned by three men who covet his property. The hero, Bruce Andrews, portrayed by Mr. Farnum, is sent to Chile to In vestigate some mines. While there he Is imprisoned ln a mine through an explosion, and news is conveyed to his wife that he has been killed. He escapes after days, but ls crazed by his sufferings. No more breathless and exciting moments have been experienced in motion picture plays than the Imprisonment of the hero, his subsequent escape and his terrific fight with three conspirators who have wrested his fortune from him during his absence in a foreign country. He returns home several years later lo find his wife married to the man responsible for his mishap. Wolves of the Night" Is a real Farnum picture, which means a picture rich In romance and stirring action. The scenic effects are very striking and the photography beautiful.

Let us take, then, Ontario for the scene of our illustration of what a 'temperance" banquet Is like. The tnastmaster rises with a glass of lemonade iu his hand—merry fellow!—and proposes the health of the King! There is a tremendous popping of ginger-beer corks, a running to and fro of waiters with foaming bottles of pop and sarsaparilla. Then all rise and with due solemnity vociferate "The King!" and splash the foaming pop down their eager throats. The chairman then reminds thc guests that tliey have with them Mr. Stodge, a member ol* the Prohibition Cabinet of Ontario, He will ask Mr. Stodge to address tlierrt. Mr. Stodge rises. He hus beside him a great bundle of notes and blue books. He speaks for an hour. The question of dandelion wine, he says, Is receiving their most earnest consideration. It is proposed to Introduce In the forthcoming session an amendment to the Dandelion Wino Prohibition Act ol lust year, which will be based upon the recent Spruce Beer Annihilation Act. (Applause.) At the end of this spcecli thc chairman rises and snys, "Now, gentlemen, If you please, refill your glasses; wo will listen to the Rev. A. Whine, who will propose the toast of 'Home and Mother.'" The Hev. Whine, being kuown to all tlie man who has the chief credit for having stopped the children of Ontario from sleighriding on Sundays, ls ;reeted with terrific applause. He is glad to say that the Courts of the Province have fully sustained the action of the police In stopping the practice of tobogganing for boys and girls on Sunday afternoon. He looks forward confidently to the time when every child, under penalty of the law,' will be forced to Bpend Sunday afternoon in a Sunday School: either there or the jail—lie does not care which. 9 Pointing Moral for Kiutliind. He deplores the fact that ln the lost Province of Quebec children are actually allowed to play games In the public parks on the Sabbath. This speaker Is folowed by a light talk from a leading statesman, three- quarters of an hour, ou railroad statistics, and by an hour's chat on the nationalization of the hog-packing industry. At the end of which the chairman invites all present to rise and sing "God Save tlie King"! And if any reader of the Sunday Pictorial should doubt the accuracy of the above account, let him read In the public press of the Dominion of Can ada the account of the suppression, under the law of Ontario, of the chil dren's tobogganing on Sunday in the parks and playgrounds of the City of Ottawa. But the comedies of Prohibition in America should serve only to point all the more strongly the moral for the people of England. The morning papers of the day ou which I write announce that "three great Canadians" have left to assist Scotland "ln her Prohibition campaign." Great indeed they must be, though I have never heard their names before, since they are labelled "field secretaris" of the thing called the Dominion Alliance, If the people of Britain feel a sort of moral wave sweeping over them about this time, it will mean that the "fleld secretaries" have lit. Let me say on behalf of all the decent people in Canada that If these "field secretaries" make a hit In Britain we shall be only too glad to have them stay there forever. A. I/. Williams A. V. Webb PORTSMOUTH HAS REAL GHOST SCARE PORTSMOUTH.—A ghost scare has just thrilled the dockyards of Portsmouth, where hundreds of men and women passed the whole of a night recently watching "a woman dressed in white, with gently swaying body, standing beside an open window of a house that had long been deserted." The ghost was first seen by children playing in the street in the evening. They ran from the place screaming and soon a large crowd of men and women gathered nnd saw the spectre. Bricks were thrown at the apparition but still the swaying body remained beside the window, continuing always its mournful see-saw. Its invulnerability convinced the crowd that they were really looking at something supernatural, but examination of the room the next morning revealed that the ghost was only a strip of hanging wallpaper, upon which the rays of a street lamp fell. FIRE DANGERS OF ELECTRIC IRONS Legislation Should Require Safety Attachments on Electrically Heated Appliances. An electric iron left turned on . . Two stores and a cottage completely destroyed.—Winnipeg Free Press. Electrical appliances in the home are of great convenience, but they are, at the same time, a fire danger. Familiarity witli their use breeds care lessness, which has resulted in heavy fire losses. From reports received by fire marshals, these are rapidly Increasing. From tests it has been found that lire will break out In from IB to 90 minutes when tlie electric iron Is left in circuit on a table or Ironing board, the time intervening depending upon the surface material. Many devices have been invented to make electric Irons lire-safe. Unfortunately, however, price has been a ruling factor In the sale of this convenience, with the result that cheapness necessarily eliminates the safety attachments, In tlle absence of public regulation requiring their use, (here Is little hope of their general adoption. Until the enforcement of legislation requiring fire-safe attachments on all electrically-heated appliances, freedom from fires due to this cause must, therefore, depend upon educating the public to a recognition of the danger.

The news., that Walter Browne's morality play, "Everywoman," had been made into a motion picture was no surprise to those acquainted with tills dramatic masterpiece. Its striking story and manifold opportunities for spectacular scenic effects makes il admirable screen material. The basis for a magnificent cinema speetacle was there. It remained for the directing skill of Georgo H. Melford, the acting ability of an unusually excellent cast, and fine artistry in arranging the elaborate scenic effects to transform "Everywoman" Into the beautiful photoplay that Is being shown at the Ilo-Ilo Theatre this afternoon and evening. Here is a dramatic production that is manifestly even better suited to the screen than it is to the stage. It requires an expausiveness that the cramped quarters of the largest stage will not admit. Quite probably the screen version of "Everywomau" has realized more perfectly the author's conception ot his story than have all the productions ot the play since its famous premier in New York in 1911. East" and "Under Cover." As is quite well known, "Everywoman" is in the main allegorical in character. The story opens much as a drama of ordinary life. A beautiful girl at a bazaar is wooed by a millionaire, an actor, and a poor physician. She is also beselged by the offer of a stage manager to embrace a dramatic career. Thereupon the story becomes a transcript of the journey of Life. The heroine becomes Everywoman, the millionaire Is Wealth, the actor Passion, and the other characters bear similar names. Everywoman ls urged to go upon the Stage ot Life by Flattery to seek King Love. Her long Journey leads her through many pitfalls, past the temptations of Wealth and Passion, until finally she reaches the humble hut of Love. Scenes of lavish splendor form the setting for the story. The revels in the magnificent palace of Wealth, where scores of beautiful women dispart of which encircles a swimming pool and the other a dance hall, and the episodes In the great gaming hall are among the most elaborate ever screened. The bazaar at the opening of the story is virtually a great fashion show. Women arrayed like birds move through the picture like extraordinarily clad mannequins exhibiting the latest creations of fashion. In the midst of this pleasing pageantry, however, the character of the story has not been lost sight of for a moment. It is convincingly and logically developed as the simplest drama. The players do not merely walk through their parts, as is sometimes the case in spectacular films of this sort. The settings are extravagant, but the story is the thing, and every thing has been fittingly subordinated to this great moving drama of life itself. • s>. • "WATER, WATER, EVERYWHERE* action immediately, so they cut cards to determine who shall marry the leader of the prohibition forces. Billy draws the high card and calls on Mrs. Bittinger, She shows him the family album containing pictures of her four former husbands, and as she becomes too affectionate, Billy beats a hasty retreat. Then the boys turn the saloon into a soda parlor, using a number of pretty city girls as waitresses. This riles the white-ribbon women because their husbands, who were never allowed to frequent the place while it was a saloon, now flock there in droves. There Ben saves the lives of many workers by his medical attention and redeems himself in the eyes of Hope. Jordan, the "prohibitionist," has turned .Martha's head—they are riding in the country nearby when Martha Hud* a bottle of liquor in his coat. Jordan loses his temper and in the struggle Martha falls into tho swifi mountain stream which carries her' away. Jordan shows liis character by slinking off, but Billy, who has been watching them, rescues Martha and takes her home. This is a gripping story throughout, with a big, human theme, and an appealing love story. * * * 'THREE MEN AND A GIRL" A CHARMING PICTURE Three Professed Woman Haters Brought to Reason by a Lovely Girl. Will Rogers Will Make You Laugh Till It Hurls in This Goldwyn Picture. "Water, Water Everywhere—" Is| not only dry humor but the title of Will Rogers' latest Goldwyn picture which will be shown at the Ilo-Ilo Theatre on Monday evening, lt is a wholesome story of a self-sacrificing, big-hearted, lovable cowboy who foregoes his love for a girl in order that she may marry the man she loves. This photoplay is the plcturlzatlon of William R. Llghton's "Billy Fortune" Beries—Will Rogers portraying the part of Billy Fortune. The scene is laid in a small western town. Billy comes to town to have his teeth fixed —and finds relief at the bar. Billy Is devoted to Hope Beecher (Irene Rich), the daughter of one of the sterling pioneers. Hope considers Billy more as a pal, and Is greatly interested in Ben Morgan (Wade Boteler), the town doctor who had let demon rum get the best of him. Hope's sister, Martha, comes home from college and at the same time Lyman Jennings Jordan, a hypocritical prohibition worker, arrives In town, having been summoned by the Women's Club, irfeaded by Fay Bittinger. The women of the place have decided that John Barleycorn and his Pursued by a married woman, Christopher Kent, a lawyer, becomes a woman hater. Jilted by a woman he loved devotedly, Julius Vanueman, a violinist, vows to eschew the society of women henceforth. Dr. Henry Forsyth, who ls constitutionally a hater of women, has undertaken to guide his friends along paths not frequented by women, and the three men spend most o their time moping at their club. But It hapuens tbat the telephone at the club is frequently employed by certain women for the purpose of getting into communication with these bears, and after they had been disturbed several times by telephone calls, they decide to seek solitude in the country. They rent a country home belonging to Sylvia Weston's father and meditate in seclusion upon the vagaries and shocking inconsistencies of womankind. Meanwhile, Sylvia Wilson is being arrayed for her wedding to a man she cannot countenance. At the palatial country home where the nuptials are to be celebrated, many guests have gathered. Sylvia creates a diversion wheu the ceremony begins by fleeing incontinently and hiding In the woods, whence she makes her way to her father's home where the three men are domiciled. Her wedding finery is in a sorry state wheu she gets there, and being quite hungry she eats the food placed on the table for the consumption of the three women haters. She dines sumptuously and wrapping her wedding gown about her, she lies down On a couch and falls asleep. When the three men return to tlieir dwelling, they are amazed to find the sleeping Sylvia. Shocking discovery for these scorners of feminity! When she awakes, her beauty disturbs all of them, and they are plainly in a quandary. They cannot throw her out and they are reiuuctantly compelled to permit her to spend the llight in the house. In the morning, Sylvia's nurse appears, and the two women establish themselves in a smaller building adjoining the summer camp of the three bears. To prove that they are true to their ideals, the three men establish a dead line-between th habitations, It being understood none is to encroach upon the domain of the other. But one by one. the men yield to the charm of Sylvia and they seek rather than avoid her company, phristopher fells ln love with Christopher, whom she dubs her "little bear," while the two others are called respectively the "big and middle-sized hears." Each seeks her at tlie dead line and as the days pass the bears become madly jealous of each other. Sylvia's bucolic romance becomes delightful and she is happy until the arrival of the wicked married woman whose pursuit has driven Christopher Into the country. Then Sylvia bas a few unhappy hours, embittered by jealousy and tears. But Christopher finds himself at last and the love romance of Sylvia and himself culminates happily for both. Dainty Marguerite Clark takes the role of Sylvia Wilson. This dollght ful screen story will be shown at the Ilo-Ilo Theatre on Tuesday evening. 'A B C OF LOVE" IS CHARMING ROMANCE Mae Murray Bathes in Wash Tub Mae Murray takes a bath In a stationary wash tub and otherwise cavorts in "The A B C" of love," which conies to the Ilo-Ilo on Wednesday. This Is her newest picture, and, Incidentally, one particularly suited to the talents and personality of the charming maid of many moods. The A B C of Love" being a romantic comedy-drama, the story does not end at desertion—no, indeed! When hubby learns his Inamorata Is only playing him for a part ln his next play he hot-foots it P. D. Q. to the wife who has just learned her ABC. .The settings, both interior and exterior are highly artistic and beautifully lighted. Miss Murray wears a number of gowns designed to please the feminine—and masculine—eyes, and Dorothy Green, in the role of the actress with siren charms, displays some bizarre costumes. Mae Murray portrays a ragged little country girl whose Bole possession is ail old mare nearing its last days. A wisp of a creature left to the charity of a none too charitable world, she is finally left In the care of Harry Bryant, a young playwright. The child's ignorance ls appalling— she can't even read or write, but her Innocence is as refreshing as apple blossoms, and, one day Harry, without looking forward to that not far distant day when he will have to take her to the city and compare her crudeness and ignorance with his social world, thinks only of his love for her innocence of life, and marries her. All's well until he is back In town and Diana, Nelson, an actress worldly wise and conscienceless, exerts her wiles anew. Harry does not know that Diana, loving only herself, Is playing him for a part ln his next play, but this he learns beforo It ls too late, and a reconciliation takes place. . . . WILLIAM FARNUM IN "WOLVES OF THE NIGHT" Big Star Attraction Booked for Next Saturday Night—A Play of Romance, Crime, High Finance and Vengeance. When a man tias been Insane five years, then recovers to find fortune stolen, and wife remarried, he's in hard luck. But this man has red blood, courage and two hard fists. See how he deals with toes. William Farnum, the famous star of William Fox photoplays, will be seen at the Ilo-Ilo Theatre on Saturday next, October 9, In his latest de luxe production, "Wolves of the Night," said to be the most powerfully dramatic picture ln which this great screen star has been seen. The story is of a mining engineer who, having sought in vain for copper ore In his land in the Northwest, has converted it into a sheep ranch. Adjoining Is a mining plant in full operation, owned by three men who covet his property. The hero, Bruce Andrews, portrayed by Mr. Farnum, is sent to Chile to Investigate some mines. While there he Is Imprisoned in a mine through an explosion, and news Is conveyed to his wife that he has been killed. He escapes after days, but is crazed by his sufferings. No more breathless and exciting moments have been experienced in motion picture plays than the Imprisonment of the hero, his subsequent escape and his terrific fight with three conspirators who have wrested his fortune from hlm during his absence In a foreign country. He returns home several years later lo fiud his wife married to the man responsible for his mishap. "Wolves of the Night" is a real Farnum picture, which means a picture rich In romance and stirring action. The scenic effects are very striking and the photography beautiful. This picture will be shown at the matinee next Saturday and at both shows In the evening. BOOTLEGGERS' UNION. The new button of the Bootleggers' Union is rather a nifty affair. It is built on the "Hands Across the Sea" principle—an overturned bottle of Scotch and above it the two hands, one passing a nine-dollar bill to the other.

Launch Campaign Against Smoking It kas arrived! There have been occasional rumors aud alarms in the past, but now a definite programme has been outlined, forces are being marshalled and a campaign is to be waged on "Jimmy pipes," tobacco jars, various members of the el calibago family, and the weaker cousin, the cigarette. All of which was decided upon at a meeting "for women only" held In St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church on Wednesday afternoon. Dr. Jessie B. Conway presided. The meeting wus largely attended, no children being allowed, nor wns mere man admitted to the church. Dr. Conway addressed the gathering, which first discussed matters which are not usually dealt with 111 open meeting, but following this, the advertised subject, of the gathering, tho Iniquities of the pipe, tlie cigar and cigarette were proclaimed. "A vote was taken," declared ono woman who was present, "and it was decided to wage a campaign against the use of tobacco. It was stated that women are using cigarettes almost as freely as men wero, at the present time. I voted for the campaign, because 1 think that tobacco should be kept away from our young boys," stated the woman. "It is not so bad perhaps for the ones that have been smokers for yenrs, but if they will not stop smoking they should be compelled to do so as an example to the young people. "It is the intention of preparing a bill—slmething like the Prohibition Bill—which will be submitted to the government after a time. The government will he asked in the meantime to llscourage smoking."
