The Obserrer Offiee.
As an attraction extraordinary the
Arcade theatre tonight will present
Mary Pickford in a new Artcraft pic
ture, "A Romance of the Redwoods,"
staged under the personal direction
of Cecil B, DeMille.
A western subject, of fulNblooded
dramatic action, the new Pickford ve
hicle presents "Little Mary" in" a role
that is entirely different from any
thing in which Ehe has ever appeared
on the screen. The story was written
by Mr. DeMille himself in collabora
tion with Jennie Macpherson and dis
closes a wealth of typical Pickford in
cidents of heart appeal. The settings
I are of the days of '49 during the time
of tho big gold rush. Mary Pickford,
as Jenny Lawrence, a little New Eng
land Miss, journeys to the west in
'search of her only relative, an uncle.
I Before she is aware of it, she falls in
' love and as a result, becomes en
meshed in serious complications. Var
ious clever twists to the story afford
surprises that add greatly to the gen
eral merit of the picture.
"A Romance of tho Redwoods"
links together the arts of two of the
greatest notables in screcnland, Mary
Ti.bfn) on1 rnoil nfill TU n1
cnts of cither one used in connection
with the production of a photoplay
i would mean a subject of unusual mer
it The combination of both repre-
j sents the affiliation of the screen's
best artists. Not only is Miss Pick-
I ford's wonderful charm included to
advantage in her new picture but a
I dramatic finesse such as she has never
'before displayed on either stage 01
screen is also apparent. In addition
to this remarkable Pickford charac
terization there is presented the art of
DeMille, creator of "Joan, the Wom
an," the famous screen spectacle, and
other cinema triumphs. Staged at the
new Lasky studios in California, the
production offers various innovations
in motion picture technique that are
only possible as a result of the novel
installments of this model plant, un
der the supervision of Mr. DeMille.
Supporting the star is an exceptional
cast including Elliott Dexter, Charles
Ogle, Tully Marshall, Raymond Hat-
,ton and Winter Hall.

and found tho same well kept, and in
as good condition as it could be kept.
That on this the last day of our

and rooms in a clean and sani'ary
condition, and the farm in an excellent
state of cultivation with growing and
promising crops. The inmates seemed
to be well cared for, happy and con
tented, all evidencing good nnd care
ful management.
In conclusion wo wish to express
ur appreciation for the uniform
courtesy of the Court, assistance of

Pels Arc Poisoned.
j Tacomn, Wash., Juno 11. (United
i Press) The police and many persons
I who once owned pet cats and dogs tcr
dny are hunting for a mysterious
j poisoner, who delights in scattering
l poison whore household pets can get
i it. Two hundred pets died in the
North End district several weeks ago,
and then the poisoner lessened his
activities until two or three days ago.
Seven dogs nnd three cats were pois
oned in one night last week.
The passage of the national daylight
saving bill now before congress would
be of great advantage to the thousands
of amateur gardeners who are seeking
to "do their bit" by helping Uncle Sam
to Increase his food resources. Marcus
M. Marks, president of the borough of
Manhattan, New York, bead of the
National Daylight Saving association,
said that congress should not overlook
tho ' bearing of the daylight saving
measure ou the food situation.
"The extra hour or two which It
would enable amateur gardeners to
spend each day in cultivating their
tracts might mean the difference be
tween succees and fnilurc to many," he
explained. "Then, too, hundreds of ad
ditional persons would raise gardens if
they bad an extra hour of spare time
a day."
The cities of Blngbamton, Elmlra,
Cortland and Norwich, N. Y., have be
gun an organized movement to sup
ply the farmers of Broome, Chemung,
Cortland and Chenango counties with
ample labor for the planting and har
vesting of Increased crops. Employers
In those cities are giving their men
with farming experience vacations of
from one to three weeks and guaran
teeing them tho difference between
their regular pay and what they re
ceive for working on farms. These
men enroll with tho farm bureau man
ager of the country. A census is be
ing taken of the needs of the farmers.
As a result of this plan it is believed
the farmers of tho counties concerned
will have no trouble with the labor
problem this year.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and
tt'esterrt railroad has agreed to furnish
the farmers 23 per cent of its section
bands for two weeks In the planting
season and also at harvesting time.
This road will also transport freo of
charge tl)e city workers to and from
the farms.
Fifteen acres of potatoes, five acres
of corn and four acres of other vege
tables have been planted by the Home
Defense league of Hartsdnle, N. Y. Its
gardening work has been financed en
tirely by a single member. Sixty-nine
others have promised from an hour to
a day and a half of labor each week.
When the crops are harvested the
league will open n community store In
Hartsdalo for tbctr sale at cost to the
volunteer workers.
The Long Island food reserve bat
talion asserted that its efforts bad In
creased by CO per cent the acreage
planted In potatoes on the island. The
total acreage this year will be about
30.000, with an average estimate yield
of 6,000,000 bushels. More than 2,400
acres have been offered the battalion,
ond arrangements bnve been made for
the cultivation of nearly all of It.
