When fire destroyed the 'little wooden structure which had served the settlement as a church since 1885, only one service had been held in it for many years, although it had served occasionally as a hall for lay gatherings. After the fire, however, the neighbors decided that to no church was not in accord' with New England and Connecticut seems to be.

JACKSON, Aug. 29 Tho death of Hon. J.

Often he was arrested by the CzarisH detectives, and then released. But the famous resemblance which formerly brought him only trouble is now about to bring him a fortune. He has been selected to play the part of Lenin in the Soviet film "Ten Days That Shook the World." In a like manner has one N.

Popoff, a student of the Leningrad Art Institute, been selected to play the role of Kerensky. Popoff has been arrested many times by the Cheka, soviet secret police, just as Nikandroff has suffered at; the hands of the Czarist police. Half of the population of Leningrad is participating in the staging of the photoplay, which is to be completed in October to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Bolshevik revofution. Great care is being given to details. Scores of cartloads of fallen leaves, as an instance have been brought to the square fn front of the Tauride Palace, home of the Provisional government, in order to give an exact picture of late autumn.

SOCIAL NOTE: Mayor Jimmy Walker of New York has returned for a visit to his ancestral home in Ireland. There hasn't been much doing around New York lately, the Atlantic ocean having been pretty well flown. the wood used in earlier planes was discarded for steel tubing.

Four girls who were so little known in filmdom two years ago that casting directors could look them over in a group and reject all four of them at once today are ranked among the most promising film acquisitions of recent years. They are Janet Gaynor, Fay Wray, Virginia Bradford, and Marceline Day.

Two years ago they were in stock at Universal, getting modest weekly salaries, but not doing well enough to be under contract. When they were not needed in westerns or comedies, the studio sent them put to the casting directors of other studios to apply for this or that role which might be availible. Sometimes all four were sent in a group, and all four lightly rejected a bargain lot of beauties who somehow couldn't "click" Even Fox ignored the comedy quartet, even though today that studio is starring Janet Gaynor as its biggest find in many a Marceline Day has been featured in numerous films by Metro-Goldwyn-Maycr; Fay Wray is considered by Paramount good enough to play opposite Emil Jannings, and Virginia Bradford has made such a good impression on C.

Miles' record of 40 and 1-5 seconds for roping and tying steers weighing as much as 1,650 pounds, was set in 1884 and now it is almost impossible to find steer that heavy outside of the feed pens. Miles would meet any man in defense of the record, although he says he is not as "spry" as he was once. The constable's challenge revealed that the rope is suffering an eclipse in West Texas.

Few cowhands know how to lasso a steer now, and the rope is disappearing from their equipment.

Many planes were damaged, but the pilot would crawl from the wreckage, scratched and bruised, but would he ready to fly again the next day. The plane is as nearly fool proof as possible, but much credit is due the instructors, officers say, who take every possible precaution to insure safety and prevent carelessness. One instructor at Lhe post put in more than 1,000 hours in the air in one year and more than 2,000 in three years without a fatal accident. Other instructors have flown 900 hours a year without a bad crack-up. Field officers point out that this record is all the more unusual when it is considered that the greater part of this flying is done with a novice under instruction at the controls.
