It isn't necessary to try the oper ation to arrive at the conclusion that the act of cutting out one's right eye woJ j&e a painful process. In fact, the mere idea of committing such self-sjery is most repulsive wheth er or no one is of a sensitive nature, yet that is the way Edward Jose. Norma1 Talmadge's director, says he . ien wnen ne was obliged to reduce "Poppy," founded on Cynthia Stock ley's famous novel, to" the prescribed length in which it will be shown as a Selznick-Picture, at the Grand today and tomorrow. "Having lived and breathed 'Pop-! py for so many weeks," explained! Mr. Jose, "it became no longer an in- i : v. i .1.1 . I tttugiuie luing, dux: ratner so real and material that it seemed as much a part of me as my right eye.' And it was just as iard for me to cut out! any of its scenes as it would have been to do the same thing to that or gan." Mr. Jose is a very earnest appear ing man and generally gives the im pression of being a very substantial citizen. There was nothing about him to suggest that he was "spoof ing." Still the interviewer was- skep tical but all suspicion was quickly dispelled as the director warmed up to his subject. "Yes, sir," he continued.

Almost before her school days were over, this vivacious little star was working in motion pic tures with the Edison compaer in "What Happened to Mary," the fiffct serial to run in . conjunction with a magazine. "The Public" BeT Damned" is a graphic presentation of the condi tions that exist in the United States where tons of foodstuffs lie rotting in the farmers' barns because the freight takes away all their mea ger profit, or in storehouses while the trusts are forcing the prices up and the poor people dying by tens of thousands. f SORE THRO ATP poftfs, jCeoghs, Croup and-Oatarrtk C?f neved m Two minutet fs-yotir throat sortt i Breathe HyomeL fHav e you catarrh?

From the bits of conversation he had picked up, recalculated that the trip could bo made for $25. It cost mors to go with the "boys"; but who anted to go alone? In this planning of ways and means he never dreamed of taking a cent from the weekly in come, and he had no bank " account. But there were his car fares 10 cents a day, 60 cents a week. Slowly he reckoned it out. By walking for a year, rainy days excepted, he could save $25 easily. He thought of the two miles to work, and back and then of the fair. "Was it worth it? Yes, for once. The next question was where to keep his savings. He must not carry them with him. The temptation to spend them would be too strong. Sudden ly Pa recollected the secret drawer in his desk at home. The desk was a roll-top and had been given to him by a rich relative several years previous. Underneath the two end pigeon holes, on each side of the desk, was a piece of moulding which appeared to be or namental bnly. The moulding on the right waji Kf-tinnarg but the one on last season led this action.

Every Saturday night, Pa stealthily dropped Into the drawer his weekly hoard. It was now the first of Octo ber, and he had been walking and saving for nearly a year. On some weeks he had managed to save a dol lar, -by going without a few lunches, to make up for the weeks when he had been able to add only a quarter to the savings. Of course. Ma had demanded an Tex planatlon for his decision to walk ev ery other day, but, by his complaint against the stuffiness of the cars and his need of fresh air, he had quieted whatever suspicions she might have had. One day, about a week before the opening of the fair. Pa secretly count ed his treasure. It was mostly In small change, but It mounted up to the magnificent sum of $25.44 before Pa's hungry eyes, le gave a great sigh. He could ride to the office tomorrow morning, and tomorrow night- he would tell Ma and the "kids" of his Plan. . County Organization Perfected, eluding All Branches. (Special to The Dispatch.)

That next morning Fa was so un usually light-hearted, that Ma remark ed to Amy. after he had gone: "Seem so Pa's taken a new lease of life. I guess his walkin's really done him good." When Pa reached the office that mprnlng, he found the "boys" talking "fair." He walked oyer and Joined them, a new sort of pride in his step. "Guess I'll go along, too, this year," he said quietly. "Good for you, old topi" cried the boys, and then when Pa had gone out to hang up his hat and coat, they gave utterance to their surprise. "How do you suppose old Brackett ever saved up enough to go to the fair, with all those "kids' and the high cost of living?" asked one. "I dont know," answered another, "Guess he must have had a legacy. Anyway, let's giro him the time of his life!" "You bet we will," was the reply. When Pa reached home that night, he was so excited himself that he did not notice the air of excitement which hung over the rest of the family.
