Crex Rugs Give an Atmosphere of
Solid Comfort to Home and Porch
Crcx ritgs occupy too prominent a place in American homes to require an introduction at Summer's thresh
old. In addition to the homey atmosphere which they impart to porch or room, they express the very last word
in floor covering.
Crex rugs are made of the choicest selection of cultivated wire grass and are sanitary, durable and inexpensive. Every house
wife who has learned the desirability of using Crcx rugs will agree with us that Crcx coverings arc easy to keep clean and are not
affected by rain or dampness.

PLAYS AMD PLAYERS
Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, actor and
manager, commenting on the superior
ity of the movies In certain ways to
that of the regular stage, says:
"The purpose of art is to portray
human emotions. The motion picture
has possibilities in many ways greater
than those of tlie stage.
"The stage has its limitations in
many ways. What reader of 'Macbeth'
has not longed to be thrilled at the
sight of Birn&m Wood come to Dun
sitiane? The coronation of Macbeth,
only suggested in the play, is made a
big scene in the Him.
"There has been tremendous advance
made in the motion picture. For illus
tration. eighteen years ago pictures
were made of my performance of
Henry Vlll' and 'KinK John.' They
were merely photographic transcript's
of the slajfc production, entirely with
out meaning except to those who were
perfectly familiar with the play and
could recall the lines appropriate to the
action."
Sir Tree has been in this country for
the past few months, and on the' Pa
cific coast made a film version of
Shakespeare's "Macbeth."
David Belasco announces a new Chi
nese play from the pen of Aimee
Greene Abbott, a well-known literary
light of the Metropolis, who has never
before turned her pen to writing for
the stage.
I.OCA I, THEATERS
John Barrymore will be seen in "The
I.rf>st Bridegroom" to-day and to-morrow.
It in said to be one of
Jolin Ilarrj more the most laughable
at Ihe Regent and most thrilling
stories in which he
has ever appeared.
Bertie Joyce, the role assumed bv
Barrymore, is a young society chap,
who Is stunned when struck on the
head by thugs while returning from his
bachelor dinner on the eve of his mar
riage to Dorothy Hardin. The thieves
decide that he would make an excellent
gentleman burglar, adding "class" to
the gang, so he is trained In the art
of burgling.
The papers are full of the disappear
ance of young Joyce and the decep
tions of the vast assortment of wed
ding: presents over which the near
bride is pictured as weeping;. It looks
like a rich haul to the Rang:, and Jovce
is sent with two others to rob his own
fiancee's home. They get inside the
house, and when Dorothy interrupts
the work. Joyce instinctively shields
her from the blow of one of the crooks.
The thug: attacks Joyce and the two
men engrave in a desperate battle dur
ing the course of which they fall down
a flight of eighteen stent. Joyce lands
on the bottom at the foot of the stairs
and is stunned. The police arrive and
a doctor Is immediately summoned for
Joyce. He declares that a very minor
operation will completely restore
Joyce's memory, and when it has been
performed, Joyce has 110 knowledge of
his excursion into the underworld.
After to-day's performances, the Ma
jestic's show will leave Harrisburg.
The attractive liead
l<a*t Day for liner scheduled for the
Majentln Show remainder of the week,
is "The Luck of a
Totem." a big scenic operetta present
ed by Harry Glrard and Company. A
male sextet supplies a great deal of
the harmony during: the act. while
there is a beautiful stage settinp- rep
resenting- the arctic regions. Other
acts surrounding this headliner are
Julia Curtis, singing comedienne; Dealy
and Kramer, man and woman in a com
edy singing and talking act, and
Laßelle and Williams, who do a novelty
singing, dancing and aerial act.
The Victoria to-day presents "The
Mysteries of Myra," third episode. This
film mystery is found
"Thr Mjnterle* ed on the workings of
of Myra," spiritualism, and Is one
Victoria Today that compels one's
closest attention at all
times. As the story goes on each part
grows more interesting than the pre
ceding: one. Howard Estabrook, as the
doctor who Is making a study of the
mysterious seances, was never seen to
better advantage than in this picture;
Jean Sothern, cast as Myra, is also seen
at her best.
Helen Holmes. the> screen's most
fearless star. Is also shown In another
thrilling episode of "The Girl and the
Game." To-morrow Edna Mayo In "Sal
vation Joan."

LIME PAYS WELL
SAYS AN EXPERT
People Should Use Care in
Putting Lime on Soil Not
Well Drained
"In Northwestern Pennsylvania
many farmers are using lime on the
soil, some of them paying high prices
for the lime." says J. T. Campbell,
soil and farm crop rxpert of the De
partment of Agriculture, who has re
turned from an extensive tour of the
State.
"Occasionally I meet a man who
says lime has made 110 improvement
in his crops. I have several times
observed the same condition on farms
that I am well acquainted with. There
is a reason for this. One reason is
applied to soil lliat is primarily in
need of drainage and which cannot be
profitably farmed till drained, is large
ly a waste of money and effort. If
the land were thoroughly tile drained,
and then the lime applied, the returns
for the lime would be the very best.
"Again I meet farmers who are
using lime in an effort to overcome the
effects of poor farming and of destruc
tive methods of handling the soil. My
experience is that the use of lime
must be accompanied by better meth
ods in order to be profitably used."

CLOVER WEEVIL
MAKING TROUBLE
Latest Post to Be Heard From
Causes Some Anxiety
Among Farmers
The State Department of Agricul
ture has received several inquiries re
cently from farmers in the eastern
counties about a worm working upon
the clover. The specimens submit
ted with these letters show that the
damage is being done by the larvae
of the Clover Leaf-weevll.
As yet there is no successful meth
od of controlling this pest, but the
following methods will alternate the
trouble to some extent.
Lightly pasturing the clover will
dispose of many of the insects for
they will either be eaten by the stock
or be killed by tramping. Lightly
clipping the clover with the mow
ing machine will also help, but it has
the disadvantage that it is possible for
the worms to live sometime or until
new growth has started, by feeding
upon the clippings that have fallen to
the gorund. Turning under red
clover, after the second season also
materially reduces the pest.
There is seldom a had attack two
years in succession Because of a fun
gus disease which attacks the nsect.
If it were not for this disease our
clover fields would undoubtedly be
ruined each year by the insect.
