"I bavs heard of lemon extract, numerous patent med icines and such like, but th4a Is the first time we have been found combat ting the evil shoe blacking." The Dalles Chronicle. , There is considerable apprehension among the farmers and stockmen of this neighborhood over the water shortage. The lake is very low be cause of the continued lack of rain, which will make It difficult to get water to irrigate the second crop. Many of the farmers are now working night shifts at irigating. hoping by this plan to get the crops In such condition that they will make some sort of yield, though they have no water later on. It Is possible to get water now, but if present conditions continue much longer, the second crop will be lost. Some of the far mers in the outlying districts, where irrigation Is impossible, have plowed up their crops as they were already ruined. Of course, a crop failure will work a hardship on the stockmen as well as the farmers. Joseph Her ald. ' The farm bureau of Grafton coun ty, N. H. Is demonstrating how such an organization can help develop com munity enterprises. The commun ity chairman in Orford found that fif teen farmers In his immediate vicin ity owned pure-bred Berkshire hogs. He felt that this was a good founda tion for standardizing the swine of the community, and asked the county agent for assistance in strengthening and extending interest in one breed. He arranged a meeting at which the county agent set forth the advantages of communities specializing In one breefl. As a result the farmers form ed a breeding association and voted to hold a sale of registered stock each year. Many examples show the val ue of a community breeding a certain line of stock rather than each member of the community proceeding along his own individual line, says the De partment of Agriculture. w. s. a. UCH MAX POOR MAX" SUPERB NEW PICTIRE The thousands of admirers of de lightful Marguerite Clark who hava Been her "Bab" pictures, will be in terested in the forthcoming presenta tion at the Lyric theater tomorrow and Saturday nights, of her latest photoplay, "Rich Man, Poor Man," a picturizatlon of Maxmillion Foster's successful novel by Goorge Broad hurst for Paramount release. The story of this admirable picture deals with the fortunes of Betty Wynn, a charming girl, who after many years spent in a boarding house enters the home of John K. Bees ton, a cold-hearted, selfish financier, presumably as his gmirtchild. Al though a rich m-in, Beefjton is a poor n.an In everything else, for he loves no one and every one despises him for hM eccentricities and erratic Icinpra mni. Betty brings love and sunshine in to his life and ho ref:i..js to permit her to leave him even after he discov ers that she has been foisted upon himself through the agency of a man whose sole desira 1h to make Betty unhappy. Betty is the central figure in numerous thrilling scenes and fin ally finds happinass In the love of a young man who really is the grand son of Beeston. Miss Clark Is splendidly supported y a large array of fine screen players, chief among vhom are Frederick Warde, the famous tragedian, Rich ard Barthelmess, George Backus, Ot tola Nesmith, Mary Davis and Augus ta Anderson. SOME GASOLINE PROBLEMS Today much thought Is given to the gasoline problem. Automobile manufacturers as well as the oil pro ducers and refiners realize that a ' shortage of gasoline will come unless : new fields are discovered. In the meantime they recommend that the strictest economy be practiced in the j use of gasoline and other petroleum I products. The automotive engineers jas well as the oil producers and refin ers realize the seriousness of the gas- oline problem and they are constant ly bending every effort to devise auto ' mobile engines and methods of car- ! burlzatlon which will secure the op- eratlon of automobiles on grades of producer.
