' "Ohj that's just fun," replied the sweet feminine voice. I just lost my breath and was trying to catch up with it." Miss Pearl White, leading woman and star comedienne with' the Crystal Film lonipany. permitted herself to bo wrap productions, Bhe has done somo of her most brilliant comedy work. In addition to the grilling routine of studio work. Miss White pays weekly visits to motion picture theatre in and around New York City, where she ap pears on nights when Crystal films are shown. ThiB has been done solely at the solicitation of exhibitors, who in turn complied with requests from scores of patrons. The warm place she holds in the es timation of the public, is forcibly illus trated in tho applauso accorded her personal appearance in any theatre. "Our Pearl" has become the popular characterization of Miss White. "For re reution I like beefsteak and aviation,'1 she replied in response to pod up in a long flannel cloak as shoB question. "It is great sport to go far walked toward a waiting automobile. The crowd followed in silent admiration of her prowess as an aviatrix, while mechanicans wheeled the big machine into its hangar. ? On tho trip to tho studio from the aviation field, Miss White intorpol&tcd the reeitnl of her professional career with laughter and flashes of humor that up in tho sky and sail along like a big bird. And lM'ople look like little ants, three thousand feet down." Miss White has none of tho usual qualms or fears anout taking risks. She likes tho excitable and thrilling recre ations and prefers pounding over a country in an eight-cylinder "gn wag on" to o'cupying a box at the opera. BAEBAEA TENNANT PROVES HERSELF A GAME RIDER The thousands of admirers of Miss Barbara Tennant, the leading lady of the Eclair company, have known her for Borne time aa the charming society girl, and even as the beautiful, wild Toss of tho Ilills; but few have ever thought of her as a real "honcBtto goodnes' cow-girl.

IV, ' It would seem safe to say that no weed is more harmful at the present time to the agriculture of the North western states than the Russion thistle. It harms the crop by crowding it in some instances to such an extent as to render it not worth harvesting. Its presence also adds greatly to the labor of harvesting, especially when the gorwth mado has been strong. It also gives much trouble in summer-fallowed lands and cultivated crops by the strong and rapid growth whith the plants moke on these in the latter part of the grow ing season. The farmer is in a sense defenseless againsc invasion from this plant. That is oue of its wont features. It is al most impossible to feuce against it, owing the the easo with which it is carried with the wind. Our demon stration farm at Elgin, N. 13., is Bur rounded with a woven wire fence. The fence is five feet high. In the summer of 1912 a part of the land inside was Bummerfallowed and keep quite clean. At this date (April 27th) the young Russian thistles arc abundant on this land and are from one to two inche high. These come from the seed that was scattered during the winter. More than once during tho winter did the thistles pile up outside of the fence until they, along with the snow that drifted in, formed an inclined plane as high as the fence over which the thist les that came later rolled with ease, scattering seeds as they went. In other instances the dried thistles would be caught up into the air by gusts of wind and carried right over the fence without touching it. Tho most regret ful feature is, that the land which may be ever so clean by the farmer one season may be re-6eeded again with thistles before any crop is planted on it the next season. Until tho farmers make common causo therefore against this weed it will not be exterminated. What then can be done! The best that can be done at present is to man- ago the newly sown grain bo that the thistles may be prevented from doing it any serious harm. This can only be done by judicious use of the harrow and weeder on tho groin crops until after the .grain has reached the stage whon it will overshadow any thistles that may germinate later. In dry seasons, especially the thistles will be greatly harmful to the grain unless they are in some way checked. How is their growth to be checked in tho grain? By the judicious UBe of tho harrow and weeder. The harrow alono may suffice. Tho same is true of the weeder. But usually the two in combination will give better resudts than either alone. The preceduro in many instances will bo in outlined as follows: First, tho harrow should bo run over the ground as Boon as the grain begins to appear, giving Hie tooth a backward slant during the op eration. ThiB will stir the entire sur face of the ground and will destroy the thistles that aro just starting. Second, when the grain is 2 to 3 inches high the weeder will lie used instead of the harrow to avoid burjing tho grain. Third, uso the harrow again when tho grain is 3 to 6 inches high. Tho idol is to prevent the thistles from gotting a Btnrt until tho grain will overshadow them. In somo instances tho abovo procedure for various reasons must be modified. Th3 thistles can also be prevented from doing harm in alfalfa. On tho Elgin demonstration farm tho disk was run twico over the alfalfa crop on April 2Sth. The second time it was driven across the rows. The disks cut fully 2 1-2 inches deep and stirred tho wholo surface of the ground. The young thistle just starting in myriads wero thus uprooted. On May 1st the crop was hurrowed. Before the weeds colno on again the alfalfa plants that wore practically unharmed by tho discing, will overshadow the next growth of the thistles. After tho first cutting of the alfalfa the crop may be similiarly treat ed. In this way tho thistles' may be prevented from doing any harm in the alfalfa except the firs t year that It is Bown, The harm tho first year may be minimized by the sowing of the crop late rather than early. The time to fight Russian thistles is just when they are starting. If un molested, in a short time the roots will have such a hold that the harrow, the woeder, the disk or tho cultivators will not bo able to dislodge them. The editors and others who are ad vising farmers to encourage the growth of Russian thistles to provide food for live stock should be placed whore they cannot do any more harm. -1 . i 11 fA fit" , r ' Nfe f-l' !-H - V '-l William Shay, in "Robespierre.'

THE UNKNOWN TOUCHES THE HEART INDUSTRIAL MOVING PICTURES BAEBAEA TENNANT, In 'Thus Salth tha Lord." What is a good time for one is a dead one for another. Constipation Cured. A domestic tragedy that had its in spiration in a real life-happening is tho theme of "Tho Unknown," which the Victor company will release on May 9. It tells tho story of William Onrdner, who driven to desperation by tho fatal illness and poverty of his wifo, coininits a theft. Ho is sent to prison, and his littlo girl is left to strangers. A rich physician adopts her on condition that the fathor will never reveal himself to her. Tho child becomes tho plnymate and eventually tho wifo of the doctor's little son. After many years, old and broken from his prison experience, William Gardner returns, and cannot resist the desiro to hunt out his child. Ho finds her tho happy mother of a beautiful boy, but bIio does not know who Onrd ner is. Securing employment as stable man, the old man gains the affection of the littlo boy. The doctor recog- nrzes the old man, and is about to turn him away, when the daughter leiinis the truo relationship, and suc cessfully intercedes for her father. It touching tale, told in beautiful photography. Ramona Langley, a native daughter of California, who recently graced "A Modern F.vo" in the rolo of Ranee, made her debut in moving pictures last week as a member o f Phillips Himilley 's liex conipnnv. Those who have come under the spell of the Langley person ally predict great things for Miss Ram oua. For the benefit of the many persons who believe that it is an eusy matter to stage and properly equip a picture company on small capital, It might be interesting to note that a large col-, lection of tiger, leopard and other. skins gathered from South Africa and other parts of the world, and worth over five thousand dollars wero used in a recent production of Powers company. Conway Campbell, of the Bison com pany recently received a consignment of young standard bred horseflesh In a gnmi-wild Btato. Ab a result of trying to teach tho wild equines horse eti- rpiettn, several of the cow-punchers have been taking a few dayi "off." Evelyn Quick, who was for a while a memlier or tho ivoystene company, with Fred Maco and Ford Sterling, is now the enthusiastic leading lady in Powers comedies. Miss Quick is com paratively a new perosn in moving pictures, but her beauty anil talent havo already won her high esteem. The grip of motion pictures is folt in all partB of tho civilized world, and their consistent and universal popular ity makes it evident that this feature of entertainment has out-grown tho "fad" stage, and 1b hero to Btay. When moving pictures wero first in troduied to the public their distinct novelty was the main attraction, but at the same time there wero a scatter ing few who heralded the innovation wit'i vague predictions that it would not he long before advertisers who knew the value of illustrations in ad vertising would tuko advantago of this superior medium of illustration in a Btrictly commercial way. It has boon some time since tho first series of an imated photos wub exhibited in America and even before that time the European film manufacturers had produced a number of industrial subjects, but it has only been within the post throe years that National advertisers in Am erica havo given the proper notice to moving pictures as a menus with which to give publicity to a iiumo, standardize a trade mark and inrliience sales.

The possibilities of moving pictures n advertising aro wonderful and seem ugly without limit, but in order to ealize on theso possibilities the adver tiser must boar in mind at all times that tho advertising power in moving pictures must bo effectively developed by one who knows how. The advertis ing message must be told or portrayed so that it Boiling arguments, and the films when finished must bo circulated advisedly ao that the advertising message carried on the film is delivered to the people most likely to respond to the advertis ing appeal.
