"MASTERS OF MEN" by MORGAN ROBERTSON The greatest story of the sea ever screened ! A thrilling film story of lie-men who*e vein* run hot with red fighting blood! A blunt, vigorous yarn of n boy's fight upward against overwhelming odds, where fight means a hard fist and prime muscle, high courage and ? ready wallop! Shanghaied! Drugged by crimps and flung insensible into the hell hole forward, where sweating, brow-beaten men live like beasts scourged to their tasks with curses and belaying pin. The sen! The flavor of salt in the nostrils; the odor of pitch in the air, the snapping of wind-swept canvas crackling like a machine gun; the breaking, singing wood straining as she rides the high waves! AU magic and lure of adventure, the Spanish Main and sailormen! Love! A timid boy's unspoken dream of his heart's desire; n girl too old-fashioned to offer love unbidden; n lad's sacrifice of youth's dearest pos* session ? honor ? to protect her from the shame of another's crime; the confusion of bitter misunderstandings that threaten life-long broken heart*! Uncle .Sam's bluejackets! ^ The fighting men of the greatest nation in the world, and what they think and how they live; their loyalty and cheer and youth, eternal, living, fighting , youth! The csiteless devil-may-care "gob," incorrigible, loyal; inpudent and loveable ! Romance! The sen spells romance. Red sunsets turn green waves to crashing mountains of blood; noon suns spread gold upon the bosom of the sea, gold that beckons and calls to youth to gather its riches; never ending mirages of golden bowls at rainbows' ends. And, the sen gives no riches; only character and manhood, bitterly squeezed out of its cold, hard business. Wholesome, clean, healthy! A boy's life of adventure, free from tawdry conflicts and sex illusions, based on fact gathered by one who served among men, who loved men, who admired men and who wished young America to so live that he might become a man! The trash of silly, social temptations has no place in this screen story of a boy who be came the master of the man. Here is a story of the making of men; men who acted and argued later. ; Shifty-footed men, with a right and ? left punch and a keen eye and a high \, sense of honor and guts to go the limit! ! Dick Hatpin is the lad you wanted to be; and 1 wanted to be! He's the fellow we dreamed of, whose fighting courage we envied. He's the boy that j assumed another's petty crime and ran away to sea to live it down, that the girl he loved might not be shamed and humiliated by the revelation of her brother's weakness. He's the fel low you and I used to talk about; that lad of ctrength and honor we built with boyish imaginations up in the haymow, or while idling with ? home-made fishing rod down by the creek. He's your kind and my kind and because we had fathers and mothers to make our way easier we never managed to be him; but we wanted to and we'll live our dreams again with Dick Hajpin in this vivid liv ing motion picture, "Masters of Men." A master of men wrote this great ?ea tale. A man whose life was ss bard as the diamonds he cut and who never wrote a line until he had lived beyond an average man's age; n man who took a beating at the hands of a | brutal second m^te with a smile, nnd who administered a beating with equal cheerfulness; a man who knew the sea and a sailorman's life; who criticized Kipling rightfully and who wrote his first sea tale to prove that a man who knew the sea could write a better story of the sea; a man who earned little by bis pen and who starved while he wrote; the greatest writer of sea stories in all literature. Morgan Robertson, a master of men, wrote tLe last word in thrilling sea stories when he wrote "Masters of Men." ALBERT E. SMITH president DAISY FLY KIlLERKSr^JSSI ALL FLIES.

By JOH^I DICKINSON SHERMAN HARLES EDWIN HEWES. poet, mystic and inn-keep er in Tahosa valley at the foot of Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National park, serves notice on the literary world that the "man-made West," with Nature as a mere back ground for forest-destroying, cow punching savages, is out of date hence forth, and that a "God-made West," with man In his proper place and the Rockies speaking for themselves, is now revealed through the "New Ex pression" verse of the revised and en larged edition of his "Songs of the Rockies." Says Mr. Hewes: "A half century ago the Western ranges were mostly described by lit erary travelers as mining camps, gam bling hells, haunts of desperadoes and the goal of the tunneling railroad engi neer. Bret Harte, Eugene Field, Sf# venson. Bayard Taylor, and others, de scribed more or less a very man-made region v , . v~ Where evry prospect pleases And only man Is. vile. Only a little over a decade back the cowboy and the 'Wild West Show' held I public attention, and the mountains were still a mere background for the rongh-ridlng genus homo. "Today, however, the Rockies are beginning to be appreciated for their true worth and glory,? continues Mr. Hewes. "In the 'New Expression' they ?Peak for themselves. We no longer find them man-made, but God-made, revealed in their supernal sublimity and grandeur, the Alps and Andes of a new and classic West. In-, this es timate man Is not forgotten ; he Is put In correct alignment. Instead of an ignorant, militant, forest-destroying, In nocent-anlmal-kiillng, dynamite-explod ing, cow-punching savage, he Is pre sented as he truly Is? refined, civil ized, awed and humbled before the supercreations of the great First Cause. He Is invited to so conduct his life as to match and respond to the pure chastity, the elevation and the profound altltndes of the Snowy Range, with equal virtues and lofti ness of soul." The establishment of the Rocky Mountain National park In 1915 found the originator of the "New Expres sion" taking in tourists in Tahosa val ley of the Estes Park region. Since then, by official figures, there have been 1,204,042 visitors to the park with the result that a whole lot of people to all parts of the country know "Charlie" Hewes In at least one of his several , capacities. Some swear by him as bonlface and at him as poet' doubtless some swear vice versa, Ina* much as the first edition of his "Songs" has been sold out, "though never re viewed In the press or advertised ex cept by mere word of mouth mention." There are many, of course, who swear hot at all concerning Hewes the Mystic. Some of them are rather, awed. But It takes all kinds of peo ple to make a world, and most of them simply say, "How does he get that way?" and let It go at that. In response to my inquiry along the same line and for the facts concern ing the "New Expression" and Its or iginator, Mr. Hewes obligingly fur nishes me with quite a comprehensive memorandum and with permission "to use it verbatim, to quote it or other wise. Unfortunately there Is not spar* here for it verbatim. Neverthe ^ . 1 follows may be considered official Inside Information. How Sea Horses Converse I ?, : An observer named Kent wishing to make some colored sketches of sea horses, placed two of them in separate glass dishes, a few yards apart. Short ly afterward he was surprised to hear a sharp little snapping 'or chirping noise coming at brief, regn'ar Intervals from one of the dishes. Almost imme diately these signals were answered from the other fish. On examination Kent found that the little sea horses ' - iV?:-,--. ... It appears from the memorandum that Mr. Ilewes is of Welsh descent, tempered with English ? the Egertons and Palmers, who are still numbered among the peerage. His American an cestors landed in both New England and Virginia early in Colonial days. He was born in 1870 in Boone, Iowa, lie worked as a railway expressman until 1907,* when with his mother and brother he settled on a homestead in Tahosa valley at the foot of Longs Peak. His schooling ended with a brief period in a high school. "An In tense inherent passion for books and reading, however, put him far beyond the average adult reader by the time lie was sixteen." "At the age of twenty-one in Seattle," says the memorandum, "Hewes came face to face with a re markable psychic mystery, and from that time forward he became in every sense of the word a Mystic. The pages of his autobiography from this time on exhibit a visionary and ecstatic soul, struggling in the grasp of the world sufficiently to rouse it to success ful efforts for a livelihood and to maintain a reasonably normal mental balance. "Foiled, apparently, almost despair ing of his efforts to penetrate beyond a certain point in the contemplation of his mystery," continues the memoran dum, "Hewes turned to the visible things of nature that he found about him In his mountain retreat and poured out his heart and emotions upon them. Ecstasy, prayer, worship, adoration and many threads of mystic correspond ence, are still in evidence in this latest volume." One thing Is sure!: No matter how fiercely the critics may wrangle over the merits of his verse, Mr. Hewes is to be congratulated on the timeliness of his "New Expression." Probably verse of all kinds was never so pop ular as now. And certainly many of the poets of today have cut loose from all literary traditions of form. Of course, being a Mystic, the poet's choice of subjects Is as chaste as the snow-topped peaks,* though there are 268 poems on almost as many themes. But when it comes to form ? well, here's what Mr. Hewes' memorandum says about that: "Hewes* vast and comprehensive readings and re-readings of the world's literature have resulted, so far as lit erary composition is concerned, not in the academic gymnastics of a word monger or verse-make]: but In a pe culiar mapipuiatlon ? metre, rhyme, measure, technique and form, all seem to melt down Into pure spiritualities. Substitute in literature tor the cell ot were signaling or talking to each other In this manner. The noise was found to be Dvade by the muscular closing and sudden expansion of the lo\yer Jaw. These sounds are produced by both sexes and they HTe both more frequent and louder than usual In the spawning season. ? Exchange. Lydla Thrived in Early Days. Lydia thrived most from 716 B. GL to 546 B. C. (when Croesus was over thrown by Cyrils, the Persian.) The Lydlans were the most advanced of } . <* * 1 ? ' v ? r ' j the bee, the most constantly perfect product of animate life, the peculiar composition of those of the 'Songs' which are admitted to be character istic of the 'New Expression' and you will readily detect and sense ap un mistakable, distinctly perceptible, spon taneous and con|tant flow of the spirit of things. In these compositions you will find no modern Whitmanesque or Klplingesque Imitations; no forms of ode, hymn, sonnet or other ancient modes. While all these forms are sug gested and appear, more or less incor porated In the text, yet the Impulse and tendency is all toward flow. Whatever combinations of forms are visible, simple or complicated. It Is a secondary feature, a mere vehicle which carries the passenger of spirit. "Do mountains, streams, canyons, rocks speak and converse with the human soul In some kindred mystery of spirit? As clouds, sunshine and shadow, storm and the wheeling plan ets animate the inanimate give expres sion to the vast muteness of crag and pinnacle, so human though* lends ani mation to the still a$d silent things through literary expression aS dictated bv the genius which senses the mystic impulsions of the otherwise voiceless spirit of things." "So faithfully has Hewes attended to his gift, with his perceptions height ened and perfected by his immense reading, applied, unlearned and sponta neous, as the bee selects Its honey from i the flowers In the delicate and ex quisite subtleties of pure Instinct, that if the Rocky Mountains were to be swept from the earth tomorrow or sunk in the depths of the sea. they would live, sublime, Inspiring and vividly vis ioned and portrayed In the 'Songs.' " So says the memorandum. Longs Peak also casts Its afternoon shadow on the cabin of Dean Babcock, , illustrator of "Songs." He was born In Canton, 111., thirty-five years ago and homesteaded in Tahcsa valley about the same time as the poet. IJe Is hap pily married, has children and has been surveyor and park ranger. He Is now winning an enviable reputation as an artist. In oil. black and white design" and plain and colored block-prints, he has attracted much attention. His painting of Mount Orton in Rocky , Mountain National park, which the fed- 1 eral government has recently named in honor of Col. Edward Orton, Jr., received high praise at the exhibition this spring at the Columbus Gallery of Fine Arts; It will eventually hang In the Orton Memorial library at Ohio State university. Of his friend and himself the poet writes : "At first stranerers and mere ac quaintances, they later became inti mate neighbors and long periods of winter and snowbound experiences de veloped a strong friendship. While Babcock bas gone the somewhat con ventional rounds of school, college, American Art academy and European atelier, yet, like Hewes, he is pos sessed fundamentally of an Innerited genius, striving for Its particular ob ject. Perhaps no volume ever before in the history of art and literature, combining verses and sketch, was pro duced so spontaneously/ both author and artist working independently of each other, yet each expressing in their particular field the same thing. For example, his cover design In gold, represents The Dawn of a New Ex pression' ? the figure of the Muse seat ed, playing her violin in the shadow, while on the mountains In the high background is breaking a golden dawn. "Thus." concludes the poet. Mystic and inn-keeper, "In the tiny valley at the foot of Longs Peak, and in what was not long ago the unbroken wilder ness, dwell the creators of a 'New Ex pression.' all peoples In those days, as ibey werW also the richest. While they were ef feminate, they were also the most cnl-/ tured , if luxury-loving traders. The Lydians loved the good things of j life, exquisite garments, beautiful gems, costly carpets and rags, scented oils and mtislc. It is recorded. They discovered the art of dyeing wool, of coining money and were the first to use gold, which they procured In com- !, parative abundance from the- Sarabat and Pactolus rivers and tha mines, as t-? medium of exchar te, \ LIVE ST0CI1C Healthful Quarters for Hogs of Big Importance If hog raising lg to be a profitable business the animals must be kept bealthy. This requires that sanitary quarters and equipment be provided. Hog houses can be desired apd built of concrete block so as Jo satisfy every requirement. They possess aU the advantages of houses built of othei materials and, when propeHy built, have none of/the disadvantages. The accompanying photograph showi . a swine house which forms part of the equipment on a large farm in Illinois. r Swine house Made of Concrete Blocks. Concrete block Is the material used in constructing not only the walls of the house Itself, but also in inclosing small runways at the front. The design shown is known as the half-monitor type. It Is always built to face the south, so that sunlight may enter through both'the upper and lower tiers of Windows. A passageway runs from one end to the other, which facilitates cleaning the bins, which are located at both sides of the passageway. At one end some space is set off for feed storage and mixing. Provision Is made here for the cooking of feed, which is especially advantageous in cold weather and for early spring lit ters. The swine house should be kept com paratively warn, either with a small heater or by insulating the walls so that the animal heat Is retained. Ade quate. ventilation is also very essen tial. Dry Mash Is Excellent Feed 'All Year Around Many poultry raisers are feeding cockerels to get in shape to sell as broilers. Purdue university recom mends for this use a ration composed of two pounds of corn, one pound of shorts, one pound of ground oats, and eight pounds of buttermilk. This should be mixed and allowed to stand and sour for 24 hours before feeding. Peed in a trough placed out side the crate in front of the birds. The birds should appear ravenous and eat greedily. If they do not, there Is something wrong with them, and they should be removed from the coop. When the birds have eaten for 30 min utes the trough should be taken away, thoroughly cleaned and allowed to dry. Give the fowls all they will eat in 30 minutes and no more. Water" Is not necessary except In hot weather. It is advisable to feed grit every few days. Two weeks is a good average length of time to feed. The greatest gain should be made during the first week, but it is profitable to continue in most -cases for another week. i Give Little Pig Chance to Make Hog of Himself Just as soon as the little pigs will eat they should be fed In addition to what they get from the sow. This "will pay, according to L. A. Weaver of the Missouri College of Agriculture, even when the bow Is a good milk pro ducer, and on the best ration. % The pigs should be given access to a small pen where the sow cannot go, to receive their supplementary feed. Skim milk fed in a shallow pan Is very good for them. The pigs may be taught to run into the creep for feed by allowing them some swelled or ear corn. As soon as they begin to eat well, a slop made of milk, some shorts, a little bran and some linseed oil meal or tankage fed along with the corn will make a ration whieh with proper exercise should satisfac torily meet the requirements for rapid growth. This ration for the young pigs should include by weight: 4 parts shorts, 1 part bran and 1 part tankage. As the pigs become older the corn may be gradually increased until the amount has b&n doubled. / Critical Period of Pig. It Isn't the number of pigB that are farrowed so much as the number saved that coibts. The first ten. days in a pig's life are the most critical. Give both sow and her litter special atten tion then.

Not finding what I wanted, I picked up what 1 thought was my leather handbag and walked a few steps away when 1 became aware that my own bag was swinging on my arm. Fearfully I looked to see what It was that I had picked up, and, to my horror, discovered I had picked up another woman's purse. ? Exchange. I BACK ACHY? I Lame and achy in the morning?
