If you'think you are thrjll-proof or think your: tea-well has gone prohi- bition just take a trip up to the Allen theatre, Monday, Tuesday or Wednes- day and sit through a showing of "The Village Blacksmith," the latest William Fox melodrama. In presenting "The Village Black- smith," the manager is giving the movie-goers just about everything in the way of pathos and human touches that can be crowded into an hour and a half. Will Walling, as the smithy, is a big, strong, husky lad with a strong manly chest. He'd have to be to stand all the misfortune that drapes itself about his manly shoulders. No frai! weakling could live through all the terror of the first half of the first reel. But the smithy stands his punishment like the heroic figure the film makes him and along toward the end he reaps his just reward of happiness. There is a railroad wreck, his young- est son is crippled for life by falling from a tree, he thinks his daughter goes wrong, his eldest son is almost killed, his daughter is struck by lightn- ing, his wife dies and then his daugh er is accused of stealing a church fund. Aside from that the smithy has an easy time of it doing the work about his shop. Tully Marshall gives a good and mean performance as the squire. Vir- ginia Valli is ardly as the squire's son, but the best bit of acting in the picture is done by George Hackathorne as the cripple. Francis Ford, who used to be a da#h- ing hero, is very good as a half-witted country lout who causes much of the trouble. Yes, if you are in need of good en- tertainment, by all means see "The Village Blacksmith." NEW DWAN TRIUMPH "The Glimpses of the Moon" Filmed at Great Expense. Allan Dwan, famous as the produc- er of "Robin Hood," has done re- markable work in his first Paramount picture, "The Glimpses of the Moon," adapted from Edith Wharton's novel, which will be the feature at the Strand theatre, next Monday. With Bebe Daniels, Nita Naldi, Rubye de Remer, David Powell, Maurice Costello and Charles Gerrard in the cast and an exceedingly costly investiture, this picture is one of the most effective and elaborate screen society dramas thus far presented to the public. Director Dwan has produced "The Glimpses of of the Moon" with the same lavish hand that fashioned "Robin for Douglas Fairbanks. The Paramount studio was taxed to its capacity for this production. More than three-quarters of a mil. sisting of costly jewellry, hangings, rare oil paintings and anti- que furnishings were used to give the picture the rich flavor called for in Mrs. Wharton's novel. In the settings of wealth and splendor, made for this picture at heavy expense, Director Dwan has woven a dramatic story of the love of Susy Branch and Nick Lansing and the troubles they encoun- ter in trying to keep pace with their millionaire friends. Mr. Dwan has transferred, to the screen the picture of sophisticated society people iin their highest and lowest moments' which the pages of her book.

Regina, Sask., June 16.--The trees in the southeastern and cent- ral part of Saskatchewan scarce en- ough at the best, are threatened with destruction. Armies of the forest tent caterpillar are causing immense damage. From all over Saskatche- wan cofne reports of the depredation of the new insect pest. They have broken out anew at the Moose Moun- tain reserve, their original Sag- katchewan breeding place and are spreading westward rapidly. They have been doing great dam- age at Windthorst, Summerberry, Wolseley, Indian Head, Q'AppeHe and other towns along the main line of the C:P.R. and the Brandon, Re- gina, branch of the Canadian Na- tional Railways. Summerberry, Wol- seley and Indian Head have purchas- ed poison sprayer to cope with the pest which is"eating the leaves off the trees in town. Nothing has been done, however, to kill the caterpil- lars feeding in millions upon the bluffs in the country. Motorists re- port the march of the pests west. been seen crossing the road at Mc- | Lean.

A serious feature of the sitaation is the fact that a number of chick- | ens have been dying and it is thought that they have been eating the cat- | erpiliars, with fatal consequences.

There is, indeed | for, men and statesmen alike, so clear § distinction between the arts of sleeping and napping that to con- fuse them is to court disaster.

Spring moving of a rather un- usual nature was undertaken at Stamford, Conn., lately, when a large three-storey house was mount- ed on a barge, hauled out to Long Island Sound and brought to a new |location north of Shippan Point. Aside from certain obvious difficul- ties, the greatest trouble was en- countered in transferring the house to the ing tid> raising and lowering the water several feet -- and in fighting a five-m!le breeze on the Sound. | ------------ The Dempsey-Gibbons fight at Sholby, Montana, was saved from fin- ancial failure when president G.

Years past an appropriation of $43,- 000 per year is, and has been made to supply expert stenographers . for the members, Today there are sixty-three Stenographers in the parliament butldings, handling the correspondence of. the members and paid at the rate of four dollars a day while parliament is in session. They are carefully selected, must have five years practical experience in Stenography, are taken on pro- bation at the outset, and are not retained unless they make good. The present staff is not only a com- petent one, but ds 'composed or ladies of culture and education, well versed in political matters and with a good knowledge of business ar- fairs. They are distributed accory- ing to the needs of thé various members, and their work is exact- {Ing to a degree. The movement on foot has ror its purpose the granting of permis- sion to each member to bring w | parliament his own stenographer. | In order that he May do so it is Suggested that an dddition of $40¢ | 2 year be made to the sessional in- | demnities,,. qa proposal which wourq | involve an expenditure of $94,000 a! year. In addition it would be nec- | essary to purchase about 150 new | typewriters at a cost of about $120 each. In the case of certain mem- | bers, who have small correspon- | dence to attend to, the $400 wou.a be a free gift.

Summerbery, Sask., June 16. -- |The message that her sister Helen, aged ten, had been adopted by her uncle, George Ketchison, Picton, On- jtario, against the wishes of her fa- ther, E. P. Austin, Winnipeg, was received here by Hazel Austin, aged fine, who is making her home here with her aunt, Mrs. C. A. Anderson. A legal battle has been started over the child. Mr. Ketohison has kept Helen since the death of her mother. kecently, in compliance with the On- i tario law, the girl was put in an or- :rhanage without the father's know- ledge, and after the required time, notice was sent the father that Mr. Ketchison had applied for the right to adopt her. The notice, though sent by registered mail, was never delivered to the father and Helen was adopted without his consent. ------ Of His Own Accord.
