M'CQMB'S STATEMENT IS NOW MINIMIZED BY HOMER CllMMINGS
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. June 23 Tho statement of William F. McCombs, New York, former chairman of the Democratic national committee, that President WJlBon'8 assumption of authority has been autocratic, was termed Tuesday by Homer S. Cummings, present chairman of the national committee, as "one of those sporadio criticisms that are a negligible factor in our affairs." "Questions as to the leadership of
the president answer themselves," Mr. Cummings caid. "The character of, such leadership depends upon the vl-j tality of the man who is president. Mr. Wilson is a very vital leader and his greatness will be more universally recognized in the next decade than perhaps it is now." Platform Discussions Continue. Discussions as to the platform and irganization of Democratic national convention continued today to concern delegates here apparently more than the prospects of aepirants forth nomination. It was said that if the proposal to make Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana permanent chairman of the convention is not realized, he may be put forward for the chairmanship of the resolutions committee which frames the platform. Bainbrldge Colby, secretary of state, has been mentioned frequently for the permanent chairmanship of -the convention and Senator Glass of Virginia, heretofore has been virtually the only delegate advanced to head the platform committee. There seemed to be some' uncertainty today as to whether the Virginia state Democratic platform, indorsed by President Wilson, would be urged in its entirety as the basis of the national platform or only acceptance of the LeaRuo of Nations plank would be advocated. Both Democrats and Republicans apparently had overlooked the Panama canal zone in calls for the national conventions, Mr. Cummings said today. Assignment of two delegates from the zone will be passed by the national committee, he said. CHICAGO, June 23 A Mitchell Palmer, attorney general, was one of a host of Democratic leaders that passed through Chicago Tuesday en route to the national convention at San Francisco. Mr. Palmer was on a special train carrying a delegation of 250 Pennsylvania Democrats to the convention. "There is no dissention in the Democratic party and none is expected," Mr. Palmer said. "All is harmony."

The Farm and the Farmer BY WILLIAM R. SANBORN
With reference to his wheat crop Roy E. Smelker, of New Paris, said: "Owing to the fly I sowed 15 acres of my wheat in oats, and the combination should make a lot of feed. On the balance of the wheat acreage I expect to harvest about, a half crop. The only wheat which had a chance to do well around here was that sown the week of the Preble county fair. That town earlier was eaten up by the

Rash Wheat Crop To Be 60 Per Cent of Normal RUSHV1LLE, Ind.. June 23. Rush county will have a 60 per cent wheat production this season in spite of predictions made a few weeks ago that the yield would not be one-fourth of a
crop. Farmers say that the wheat possibilities have been wonderfully improved in the last 10 days. If recent rains have been Inductive to the growth of the crop they have also, but perhaps not in corresponding measure, revealed that there are some formidable enemies to the Rush county wheat crop this year. No small quantity of the crop is damaged by the Hessian fly and joint worms. Farmers say that it Is too early to estimate the full extent of damage by these pests, the most prevalent of which is the fly. The wheat that was fown last fall was infested from the early uown. This demonstrates the necessity, farmers say, of latG sowing next fall and this they believe, will in large measures eliminate the probabilities of damuge.

loathsome attributes. That seems to have been his rightful heitrage, on account of the tremendous success which he scored in the role of the dope fiend in Clyde Fitch's play, "The City." Mr. Marshall's interpretation of the crook in Maurice Tourneur's picture, "The Life Line" -was along the same line. He is a master of makeup and possesses a surpassing ability to get under the skin of his characters and make each one a little masterpiece of acting. It will be a surprise to screen fans who witness the new Wallace Reid picture, "Double Speed," at the Washington Theatre, Wednesday and Thursday to see Tully Marshall withput wig or exotic makeup acting quite as his natural self in the part of a

than any role he has ever had. MURRETTE, Viola Dana has the most interesting screen play of her career in "Dangerous to Men," the production at the Murrette theatre. The picture is adapted by A. P. Younger from H. V Esmond's drama, "Eliza Comes to Stay," and the screen version reveals possibilities that were never brought out in the original play. Miss Dana appears as Eliza, the orphan girl, who at eighteen is thrust into a bachelor's' household as his ward. She was an ugly duckling, but she grew in charmjuntil she was considered "dangerous." It is a role that gives Miss Dana the opportunity of her career. Few actresses could have been equally convincing as the tomboy schoolgirl of the early scenes and the dangerous siren of the climax of the drama. Yet Miss Dana bridged the gap of years wiht amazing virtuosity. By subtly
Farm Federation
Wayne county farmers are receiving live stock census blanks from the state farm federation. These blanks call for report on the number of cattle, hogs and sheep on the farm on July 1. so that state officers may determine the different kinds of stock that will come on the market at various intervals. By reporting when their hogs will be ready to ship, for instance, the
federation will notify the farmer when

"The Sporting Duchess." which will be shown at the Murray theatre Thursday, waa first written as a spectacular melodrama to be produced In the Drury Lane theatre In London. This theatre Is world renowned for the stupendous productions that have been staged there. The theatre is to London what the Hippodrome is to New York. Only plays of such mammoth proportions that few ordinary playhouses could produce them are seen there. Drury Lane Is also noted for its famous Christmas pantomimes, a form of entertainment seldom Been In this country. Until the advent of the motion pictures, pantomime was sadly neglected in America. It was found in the Russian ballet, the Italian ballet, the Austrian ballet and the panto mimes at Drury Lane. Some of the most famous of the Drury Lane melodramas have been
brought to America and staged in the largest playhouses here. Great quantities of special mechanical and scenic effects were necessary to produce the race scenes and tallyhos filled with people driven onto the stage. "The Sporting Duchess" created a furore in New York a score of years ago when Rose Coghlan appeared in the title role. It was so stupendous and such a costly production to transport that it was only seen in a few cities outside of New York. It was not until the advent of motion pictures that this famous melodrama could be staged in a form suitable to show in every city and town
through the country. The film version In which Alice Joyce is starred, is even greater than the play. "Respectable by Proxy," a J. Stuart Blackton-Pathe production, closes its run at the Murray theatre Wednesday. Said to be a spicy, romantic comedy, the action revolves around a young Southern aristocrat who repents his hasty marriage to a cheap actress. He leaves home and when he returns It is to find a perfectly strange young woman another actress in his mother's home posing as his wife! Then began their career of
respectability by proxy! RICHMOND The enthusiastic reception which the people of Richmond have given the feature film, "Girl of the Sea." at the Richmond theater, has caused the management to decide to run it again on Wednesday and Thursday. "Girl of the Sea" is a submarine pic ture and stars Betty Hllburn. The heroine is shipwrecked and washed ashore, a lone survivor, upon a lonely
island when a little child. She becomes dependent upon the tropical fruits of the Island for her livelihood She spends a great part of her time in the water and knows every inch of the reef. A cave is her only refuge and she seeks protection in it in case of danger. Rescuers reach the island and the members of the yachting party at
tempt to rescue the child of the waters. Thrills and Intense situations happen thick and fast and the rescuing party comes into the child's life. The star. Miss Hllburn, is a beautiful girl and the feature gives her a splendid vehicle for displaying her swimming ability. The bottom of the ocean is the stage setting for many of the scenes.

Sometimes I'd get so dizzy that I could not stoop or bend over, for I'd feel like I was going to fall." said Mr George Stickler, a cement worker, living at 614 Walnut street, Muncie Indiana. "The pains in my back and limbs were terrible, which I knew came from my kidneys, and some nights I'd be up five and six times. My muscles had that dull, twitching, aching feeling almost constantly. Mv nerves were so unsteady that I could not sleep to do any good and some nights I'd get out of bed and sit up. "My appetite failed me and I became weakened and was losing mv vitality. I became sensitive and oftentimes irritable. My bowels were badly constipated so that I had to take medicine for them most every night. "I am surprised at my own self the way I feel these days. Why, I'm feeling years younger and full of energy and ambition. The Droco has sure done me lots of good. All these aches and pains are gone; my liver has been cleaned off nicely. Mv kidneys strengthened so that I sleep all night without geting up once. Mv bowels move regular without the aid of medicine as before. My nerves are quieted; have a fine appetite and everything seems to agree with me. I haven-t had a dizzy spell since I took Dreco." Any remedy that restores the natural functions of the body is a healthgiving remedy. The use of Dreco. the great herb remedy tends to restore the appetite, to procure natural digestion, which is followed by an increased circulation and nutrition of the whole body. Lean, haggard, bloodless people begin to train weight, strength and flesh at once from taking Dreco, as they themselves declare in signed testimonials. Dreco is sold by all progressive druggists throughout the country and is highly recommended ia Richmond stores. Advertisement.

DANGEROUS TO MEN It is the romance of an ugly duckling who finds herself at eighteen in a young bachelor's household as his ward. How she becomes "dangerous" with the allurement of youthful audacity and makes men dizzy in the giddy whirl of courtship is told in a story full of thrilling developments. Special interest for women is found in the emphasis the story puts upon the psychology of clothesand how much gowns mean to a girl in the game of love. Miss Dana has an opportunity to wear some of the most modish creations of the season. "Dangerous to Men" is the sort of picture that should not be missed.
