At one of the earlier sessions of this tgibupal, a number of farmers were allowed exemption on the ground that they devoted all their energy to work on the farm, It would appear that they did not make good, for at a session of the tribunal, held on Thursday morning, their cases came up again and sever- al were disallowed, while two were until July 1st, and this stay.was al- lowed in order that time might be given to see just how much they could produce .to help feed the Allies, The following cases were dealt with by the tribunal: John MeDirmid, farmer, gof Boul- ter, disallowed. William E. Montgomery, McKenzie Lake, disallowed, James H. Brethour, farmer, croft, disallowed. Frank Ferrill, farmer, Bancroft, allowed until July 1st, 1918.

She is aglow with youth, vitality, charm and the joy of living, and she sends everybody out of the theatre . > ! Specially Priced Attrac- ti t F id | Jeast it will be seen by so many as y are practical enough to make timely seat reservations. The original New Xi: York cast, including Patricia Coll- inge, is promised. with a new and improved viewpoint of Ife, and a relization that it is not | mere dull drabness; but full of sun- shine if we seek it, and very much worth the living. There is no ques- tioning the wide and univedsal ap- peal of this most unusual play. The whole community will see it, at At Griffin's. Where is the chivalry of long age, when knights fought to death for their ladies fair? Where is the chivaltry of S'Artognau, the famous musketeer and gallant? Though slumbering all these years, it -has heen awakened and will be shown at Griffin's to-day, Friday and Satur- day, when Douglas Fairbanks' lat- est production, "A Modern Muska- | teer," is presented. As a modern | D'Artagnau, Fairbanks is an ideal | type, dashing athletic and fearless. Much comedy arises as the gallan- try of the youth is misunderstood, and his impetuosity in succoring females in real or fancied distress places him in embarrassing situa- tions. A new star of the film {irma- went will 'be seen in our other feat- ure picture, "The Painted Madonna." She is Sonia. Markona, a Russian girl, who recently arrived in the United States from the country seething with the results of revolu- tion. 'This girl brings to the screen not only a new. face, but also a sweet one, and one showing the dra- matic talent she possesses. Her vehicle, "The Painted = Madonna," gives her ample opportunity .to run the entire gamut of emotions. The picture has some exguisite scenes, and the camera work Is beautiful. As a fitting climax to a wonderful programme, «Charlie Chaplin will be shown in an uproariously funny picture entitled, Woman' one of the famous commedienne"s very best.
