Ivy Olson. BROOKLYN, N. Y., Jan. 5. An unusual sort of a come-back in baseball was performed last season by Ivan Olson, the Robins' hard-working shortstop, who after suffering as the goat of the fans through the first half of the season ended the race a big favorite. And Ivy accomplished It by sticking to his job and doing his best no matter how they rode him. A year ago Olson was offered the management of the Vernon club of the Pacific Coast league and most of the fans hoped he would take the job. It was generally felt hereabouts that he was slipping and he was not at all popu'ar anyway. The recruit Fabrique had been touted as a regular ball player and most everyone felt that Olson would never be missed. Fabrique came to the Robins with
the reputation of being one of the most finished ball players in the minors, but he lasted only a short while in fast company. He managed to make an average of almost one error per game in the twenty-one games he had part in and the fans were pleased to see Olson back at his old place at
short. For the rest of the season Olson played a grand fielding game at short, being surpassed only by Art Fletcher and Walter Maranville, and after Hornsby was the hardest hitting shortstop in the league. Though the Vernon club is still anxious to get Olson the chances that the Robins will let bim go are slim. Wilbert Robinson stood up for Ivy when the fans were handing him the hoot and he doesn't care to part with him now that he is such a hit.

stricken woman who uses no scruples in attaining success on the ctage. Her love of luxury, indicated by the Egyptian "love nest" . that she occupies, carries her beyond sanity. Retribution of ironic force is visited upon her, when, in a moment of ragft. she kills a lover who has sacrificed his' own career for her. She is forced to take flight, and he only refuge is in a sordid tenement of an ugliness which she has always loathed. A cast including George Webb, Hugo B. Koch, Dorcas Mathews, Lee Hill, Thomas S. Guise and Milton Ross support this star in this production, which was directed by Walter Ed wards. One would think that every thrill, every act of reckless dare-deviltry, had been injected in William S. Hart photodramas. However, this famous Western character always figures in some new and startling adventures. For instance, in "The Narrow Trail," the initial Ince-Artcraft picture, which will be seen at the Murray on Wednesday and Thursday, Hart portrays an outlaw who falls under the influence of a beautiful girl. He loves her with all the desperate passion of which his wild nature is capable, and determines to reform. In doing this his source of income is naturally shut off, and he is in trying straits for ready cash.
Th-3 seed corn scarcity will not take care of itself. Farmers, to be sura of seed for planting in the spring, must save it this winter. Unless they do save it they or other farmers will be without seed corn in the spring. Tho only cboice is between makinp: sure r.ow cr causing a scarcity in th? planting season
nels in which the germs appear to be dead. In this way, it should be possible for many farmers to get seed corn which will germinate from 50 to 80 per cent. This seed can then be planted thickly enough next spring to produce a stand. Those who are not familiar with making single-ear germination tests of corn can get information on how to make the test from their county agent, from the State experiment station, or by sending to the United States DeDartment of Agriculture, Washington,

For many centuries the glove has ben the gauge of battle, and it has remained for Douglas Fairbanks, star of the Triangle feature, "Reqgie Mixes In," at the Murray Friday and Saturday, to provide a new symbol. Hisi gage of battle is probably without parallel in history, either on the stag9 or in real life. As the hero of this photoplay, Fairbanks becomes the rival of a gang leader in the slums of a great city for the hand of a pretty little cabaret dancer. The . gang leader sends several of his henchman to waylay him and "do him up." The plan works splendidly. Fairbanks, in the character of Reggie Morton, sees the little dancer home after
the show. As he turns from the door, he is attacked by the man stationed just around the bend in the wall. This man is the weak link in the gangster's plan, for Reggie catches him before he can do any damage, and deals him his quietus. Then Reggie starts down stairs, looking for more. He is not disappointed, for a couple of thugs attack him before he Is half-way down These he dispatches with the swift dexterity for which Fairbanks is famous. Another fellow is just thrusting the barrel of a revolver between the banisters,- and he, too, is overcome and disposed of.
an episode of thrilling intensity. She invariably achieves the desired result in either instance and with equal brilliance. Her recent stellar appearance in "The Flame of the Yukon" stamped her as an actress of tremendous power, and in John B. Ritchie's story of New York studio life, as revealed in "The Price Mark," patrons of Paramount theatres will witness another great character portrayal. Scenery in Southern California is very accommodating, but there is a place called Nigger Slough that is obliging beyond reproach. It furnished a brace of mirages for "Bond of Fear," at the Murrette Wednesday and Thursday, the new Triangle film drama, when two weary souls, staggering across the sands, thought they saw the promise of water in a near-by-lake. They were a man and a woman that
eternal combination, and they were in love. The Judge had been with them, but when the thought his own name free from stain, he had turned upon the woman and branded beT as the slayer of her husband. She had never had a husband, but when the Judge told her about killing his own brother, sho wanted to share his crime, and so pretended guilt herself. Now the Judge was far behind and she was with Cal, the guide, friend, and protector of those mad desert days. Cal' had always loved her. So there they were, throats parched, limbs weary, eyes burning with the
hope of the lake ahead. Twice they saw it, but never found the teasing phantom of the desert. In the end It was all right. They were going to say good-bye at the 'stage, when something held them. To see Belle Bennett and Roy Stewart, the Triangle stars, in that parting scene, gives a wealth of appreciation of that most precious of the world's bonds.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 This warning by the United btates Department of Agriculture is being sent to the farmers of a number of States for which a seriouB scarcity of seed com for sprir? planting in 1918 has been noted. These States include, in whole or parr. New Yor1:, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois. Wisconsin, Minnesota. Iowa, Nebraska,
North Dakota and South Dakota. Little corn of the 1916 crop is available and adapted seed cannot be had from .-ther sections. In tills emerg
ency the Seed Stocks Committee of
the United States Department of Agriculture urges farmers not to overlook any possible source of supply. It points out that on many farms in the States where seed corn Is scarce, it is still possible to find some sound ears which should ba saved for seed. In some cases, however, this sound con- is being fed beraug'? the nwntrs do not realize its value nor the need fur it. They have basii accustomed to tainting much better corn and have n-t stopped t) :orjji1;r that fv;ry bushel of seed corn they feed now would, if planted, produce a hundred or even two hundred bushels next year. Select Sound Ears for Use as Seed Under ordinary conditions, it pays to select seed com in the fiald and to cure It carefully, but seed so selected and cured Is not available lor much of the corn acreage to be planted next spring. It will be necessary, therefore, the specialists emphasize, to use the very best seed that is available. Past experience shows that It Is better to plant seed of an adapted variety, even though it Is poor in germination, than to plant much better seed cf an unadapted variety. For this reason, the Seed Stocks Committee urges farmers to pick over their seed corn and select the sound ears for possible use as seed. If more is saved than needed there will be a ready market for H next spring. Guard Seed Corn From Damage

CITY IS Continued From Page One. Cincinnati left shortly after noon, after the road had been cleared. The Indianapolis-St. Louis . train, which was held in the Richmond yards all night, left about 10:30 o'clock. The Chicago trains were to leave as soon as the tracks were cleared. Herbert Ray, fireman at No. 2 hose house, was suffering Saturday from nearly-frozen hands received when he drove the automobile truck to a fire at 227 North Nineteenth street His gloves were ineffective against the biting high wind. It is not believed, however, that it will be serious. The quick work of firemen at the home of William Hall, 1112 North A street, about 10:30 o'clock Friday night, probably saved the house from big loss. As it was damage estimated at slightly more than $25 was done to the house. The winds fanned the blaze but firemen from four companies checked it
INDIANAPOLIS HAS COLDEST DAY IN THIRTY-FOUR YEARS INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 12. With the government thermometer registering 19 below zero today, Indianapolis awoke to the coldest day in 34 shears according to weather bureau records. It was the coldest since 1884 when a minimum of 25 below zero was reached. Many street car lines in the city were blocked by the snow and broken trolley lines. A high wind driving snow into drifts which demoralized all forms of traffic greatly added to the suffering from the cold. aMny persons trying to get to their work suffered frost bites. The cold wave, drifted snow and attendent suffering was general throughout the state, some places reporting official temperatures of more than 20 below zero.
