' ‘For the Freedom of the World,’* which will be the attraction at the Palace theatre, SatuHav, matinee and bight. It comes as a climax to a ’ soul-stir- riog atory of war and love with the great world conflict now raging a* the background. The young and beautiful wife of an officer of the American Le gion of the Canadian expeditionary forces, violating an iron-clad rule of the War Office, disguises herself as a nurse and goes to visit her buaband at tbe front. Through the machinations of a cowardly officer once a suitor for her band, her presence and her hus band’s knowledge of it is exposed Busbsnd and wife are arrested and ordered before a court m artial with the knowledge that their trial .can result in nothing short of the verdict prescribed for every, such violation of the regulations—death before a tiring squad: Rather than aee his bride suffer inch a fate her husband shoots ber with hi* service revolver, and she falls at his feet breathing her g r a ti tude with, “ Thank you, my husband ” Motion picture critics who have seen advance showings of *• For the Freedom of the World’’ a re unanimous in proclaiming this the most thrilling momeint they have ever s.en in films. \The wbr is one of Nations—not one of Armies—and all of our nwn 100,000,000 people must be economically and Industrially adjusted to war conditions If this Nation Is to play Its full part In the con flict. A y . The great results which we seek can be obtained only by the participation of bvery member of the Nation, young and old, in a national concerted thrift movement. I. therefore, urge that our people everywhere pledge themselves, as suggested by the Secretary Of the Treasury, to the practice of thrift, to serve the Government to their utmost in increasing production in all fields necessary to the winning of thé war, to conserve food and fuel and useful materials of every .kind, to devote their labor only to the moat necessary tasks, and to buy only those things which are essential to individual health and eRiciancy, and that.the people as avitfenca of thsir loyalty Invest all that they can aeVe In Liberty Bonds and War Savings (tamps. , , \With the desperate needs of the civilised world today, with ma terial and labor with which to end the war, the practice ot individual thrift !& a patriotic duty and a necessity. . . . \t earnestly appeal to every man, woman and child tp pledge them-, salves on or before June ttth to save constantly and to buy as regu larly as possible the securities of the Government. . «V » June 2StU ends this period of enlistment in the great volunteer army of produc tion and savings here at home.

Report H u Been Prepared by Cofbmi»- •ioner of Agriculture. * CoTmiasioner of Agriculture Charles S. Wilton has prepared a report on New Yor* state crops which- shows an increase of from ten to fifteen per cent in corn acreage. A complaint is mnde of-poor germination in some sections which may reduce the yield per acre, but increased acreage ahould cover this. A decrease in the acreage of pota toes is shown, in comparison with that of last year, of about twenty per cent The acreage last y ear was about 290,- 000. Reasons given for the decrease are, unsatisfactory prices for the J917 crop’ and scarcity of labor Beans show a decrease of 25 pel cent in acreage. The low average of tbe last two years has di icouraged ’ many growers in the prjncipal bean grow ing scctons. Excessive rainfall and disaaae are given as reasons for small yields. The acreage of 1917 was about 192,000. An increase is shown in the acreage of oats, in some cases from' 25 to 60 per criht above tbe normal Oats, barley and spring tWaeat have In some instance« been sown in place £of pota toes and beans 8nd winter wheat and rye which \w inter-killed.\ The oat acreage last year v*ae 986.359 A large crop of apples ’'la indicated. Insect injury is not particularly notice able A large crop of pears is. prob able The peach crop will be small, with the exception of a few counties. In counties bordering on Lake Ontario west of Rochester, 40 per cent of the 1917 crop is predicted. The cherry crop is reported large.
