We just can't lose sight of
Carranza. No sooner did the
shadow of Germany darken
our horizon than the old duck
conveyed his profound admira-
tion and good will to the Kai-
ser. And everybody laughed.

something is a thousand times
more useful than the man who

A mighty good thing to re
membef is that helping others
is one of the best ways to help
yourself. Many a small town
never gets beyond the village

in it who are so envious of the
success of others that they
would rather tear their com-

"High cost colds" is a topic
of discussion in eastern editor-
ial circles. The editor of the
New Haven Times-Leader says
there are two ways of cutting
the cost. Drink two quarts of
water a day; sleep with your
bedroom windows open; never
mind the snow outside but cov-

Stoneman, and that of the Uni-

with Margaret Cameron, thej
South Carolina lassie, maintain
two threads of Continuous

Tremendous battle scenes and
wild rides of the Ku Klux

thousands of participants.
Eighteen thousand actors and
three thousand horses were
employed in the making of the
picture, which costs one half
million dollars and took eight
months to produce. Some idea
of its immensity is gained from
the fact that there are no
than 5,000 distinct and indivi-
dual scenes
