The title role is unquestionable the finest thing John Bowers has done since his performance in * "So Big.” The part of a gentleman who believes it his duty to make Canning his career, despite the protest of his sweetheart, calls for skillful interpretation, and Bowers has handled the role superbly. Mr. Bowers is a Syracuse boy. Little Gene Stratton, the author's granddaughter, also has a role in the play. Don't fail to see this interesting photoplay. ,—o f KEEP TO THE LEFT Pedestrians who travel the hard roads should bear in mind that their place is on the left of the road. They are then facing on-coming autos and can easily step to one iside and escape injury. While if on the right side of the road a noseless car might come along and hit a person before he is aware of it. Always remember the safe side as well as the legal side is at the left in any direction you are walking. — o SCUPPER There will be a supper given at the Hex Grange hall on Tuesday evening; March 29, begin-1 ning at five o’clock.

Where proper measures have been adopted to attract and protect birds and to increase their numbers by providing boxes and nesting facilities, an increase of several fold in the bird population has resulted, with decreased losses from depredations of injurious insects.

According to Richard Lieber, conservation director, the chief forestry problem in the northern and more productive parts of the state is to prevent farmers from grazing their woods. Hardwood forests as a whole in Indiana are in need of improvement work. In most woods the better species such as oak. walnut, ash and yellow popular have been removed, and the tendency has been to leave the less valuable beech, sugar maple and elm. A great many weed species such as dogwood, ironwood, water beech, etc., are left to suppress reproduction of the more valuable species, and should be removed. The forestry divison under Ralph F. Wilcox, acting state forester, is urging a drastic forest fire law with sufficient funds to afford organized protection for the position is taken that fire is the worst enemy to the reforestation program in this state. According to Mr. Lieber the outlook for much work in reforestation is encouraging. The department reports a steady increase in the demand for seedlings which are furnished from the state nursery at cost to those wishing to plant idle lands to forests. The nursery output has increased from 13,000 seedlings in 1922 to 200.000 trees this spring, and a new site is being d_vek,ped on which a million trees will be available by 1930. Experiments conducted at the state nursery show that native ’lndiana hardwoods such as oak. tulip, walnut and ash will not grow on farmed-out fields. The original hardwood plantings at the experimental forest are considered as failures. Persons contemplating reforesting idle lands should get in touch with the state forester’s office and receive free a Ivice on what species are best to plant in certain localities. * o— ILLH'ERAUY IN INDIANA A study on illiteracy by William McCullough, county attendance officer, who has made a survey of this uuestidn. of Indiana, Ohio, Michigan Illinois shows that IndiaharmaS the least number of illiterates. A brief report made by him follows: “In general the illiterate class composes only those persons who have had no schooling whatever. In the 1920 census. Indiana had 52,034 illiterates, is 2.2 per cent; the United States 6 per cent and the surrounding states of Michigan, 3 per cent; Ohio, 2.8 per cent; Kentucky. 8A per cent; Illinois is 3.4 per cent. Indiana’s population, estimated for 1926. is '3.U75.000. Os this numfcer there are, native white. 91.8 per cent; 1.3 per cent illiterate; foreign bom. 11.8 per cent illiterate; negro. 22 per cent; 9.5 per cent illiterate. “The estimated number of illiterates in the United States for 1926 is 4,750.00 ii. “Educational experts have proven by statistics that aside from culture and a greater power for enjoyment, the time spent at school and college is worth at least SIOO,OOO to each boy and girt “From a study of 5,000.000 men who had received no schooling, it was found that only 31 men had distinguished themselves in business, science and the arts. ’ “This indicates that without any schooling the chances of success are 1 in 161,290.” o— CHURCHES TO CONBOUDATE A movement is under way at Albion to consolidate all churches in Albion, making one large congregation instead o f several smaller ones.
