SENSATIONAL RESCUE OF
HEROINE FROM DEATH
A thrilling rescue marks the open
ing of episode two of “The House of
Hate” at the Skydome Saturday
night.
Gresham (Antonio Moreno) rescues
Pearl Waldon (Pearl White) from
being crushed to death in the yard of
the Waldon War Works, where she
was placed by the masked confeder
ate of the Hooded Terror. They re
turn to Waldonclyff to find the police
making an investigation into the dea
th of Pearl’s father, who was killed a
few hours before. Haynes, Ezra and
Naomi Waldon are all anxious to se
cure control of the Waldon War
Works,, and Haynes, who was betroth
ed to Pearl shortly before her fath
er’s death, pleads for a speedy mar
riage. This does not atrree with
Pea ’s wishes. As the investigation
is going on, the marked kidnapper
returns and as he is about to shoot
Pearl, is sho'. by Gresham. As he is
lying, this man says he was hired to
kill Pearl. He is about to designate
the person who hired him when he
dies, much to the relief of the Wal
ilons, who are all detained by the po
lice.
Next day it is seen that someone
has atempted to break into the safe
where Waldon kept his private pap
ers. Pearl and Gresham set a trap
to discover the identity of this per
son. They place a small camera in
the head of a tiger rug and arrange
a flashlight so that it will be explod
ed by electricity, when the intruder
goes to the safe and his photograph
will be takeu.
Late that night the Hooded Terror
emerges from the secret passageway
and goes to the safe. He sets off the
flashlight and the various members
of the family rush to the Armour
Hall. Pearl picks up the camera, stat
ing that it it is the picture of a man
who murdered her father and tried to
kill her. She calls Gresham ami tells
him that the trap worked. While she
is talking, Gresham realizes some one
has tapped the telephone wire and
tells her to he very careful as some
one is listening to their conversation.
The Terror returns to Waldor.clyffe
to secure the negative. Herrick, the
detective, is killed by the mysterious
killer and Pearl locks herself in the
lark room. Gresham who has hasten
ed to Waldonclyffe, is prevented from
entering by two guards at the front
door. The Hooded Terror is about to
seize Pearl, who has developed the
negative showing the mysterious at
tacker, but has not been able to ex
amine it. She shrinks back in terror
as the Terror batters in the door and
steps forward to seize her.
In addition to the second episode
of The House of Hate the Pathe
News and a splendid Harold Lloyd
Comedy will be shown as Saturday

$91,000 FOR POULTRY
IN FIVE MONTHS TIME
FARMERS OF INDEPENDENCE
COUNTY MAKE SPLENDID
SHOWING ON POULTRY
Nearly $20,000 monthly from poul
try is a pretty good showing, and
was made in Independence county
from January 1 to May 20. Between
those dates a single Batesville firm
paid to the farmers of this county
$91,591.31. Of this amount $66,223.
07 was paid for eggs and $25,568.24
wa spaid for chickens, turkeys, ducks
and guineas. To ship this produce it
required 13 cars for the eggs and five
cars for the poultry.
At that rate the farmers of the
county will receive during the year
fully $200,000 from poultry and eggs
alone, a sum that means practically
a clear profit to the farmer. When
the importance of the poultry indus
try finally gets home to the farmer,
the certainty of a cash market at
all times, flocks will be kept on every
farm.
