which Nauvoo is the principal city.
The city itself is prosperous and
must continue to be 30 while the ter
rttory tributary to it continues to
grow in population and wealth as 1t
is now growing.
George Kraus and sister, Miss
Madeline, of Keokuk, came up to
Nauvoo last Sunday for visit. The
brother returned home in the evening
while the sister remained for week
or more visit at the home OF her
brother, John and family.
There Is a general impression that
the winters nowadays are milder than
they used to be. This view is held
by middle-aged persons who used to
skate on the river and coast down
Farley street hill in Nauvoo in boy
hood and girlhood days, and who to-
day sit beside steam heat radiators
and lament tine passing Of the good
old days when they were real whit
ers." The present day boys and girls
skate and coast and never worry
about the climate, which in this sec

which makes for health and hap

A good many Nauvoo people are
moving about the city, changing
houses, as it were.

Last Saturday was a splendid bus1-

At a time when all seem to be
agreed that nothing could be better
than an expert farm adviser for this
county, we run across fellow who
has different views on the subject.
He says: Il wish to demonstrate
against appropriating money to en-
plov a farm adviser. The taxpayers
are paying to maintain state farm ex'
pertinent stations and these are for
the purpose of furnishing information
to the farmers and they can get that
information any time they desire IT..
We don't want any man coming on
our farms and telling us how to run
our business. If a man would come
into business house owned and man
aged by a business man for years,
and then try to tell him how to run
his business, the owner OF that bus1-
ness would show the adviser to the
g. mi n
farms tust as a business man wants
to rim his business" There's always
contrary opinion.

men are shooting each other down
with weapons In one section, while In
another part Of the field they are
fighting as primitive men with only
their hands.

clamor.
One is prepared to see large num-
bers of characters on the screen, but
when the camera reveals thousands,
all so perfectly trained that the pos
ing effect is gone and the audience
feels themselves a part OF the pro-
ceedings. 1t may be trnthfully stated
that the picture has all Of the power
claimed for it. The photography Is
faultless from the binding flashes Of
light in the night battle scenes, to the
iyllic perturbation Of the old southern
life on the plantations. There Is act
ing of every kind and nature and ev-
cry human emotion Is shown before
the eye of the camera.
Some OF the scenes bring laughter,
others tears. There are also others
that bring the sympathy Of the behold
ers into ready expression, while on
the other hand, some cause one to
hold themselves tense and clench the
fists.
Authority is given ON the screen for
every picture of historical interest.
You see Lee surrender to Grant, the
assassination Of Lincoln, and the state
capitol session room in South Caro-
lima, exactly as it looked with 101
negroes sitting in It, The Ku Klux
Khan, with their eerie cry, done in all
parts of the house by trumpeter with
muted instrument, sends the chills
through you, and there is something
uncanny about the scenes in which
ghostly sheeted figures ride like the
wind and wreak vengeance upon the
black men. Every appearance OF the
clansmen was greeted with wild out
bursts Of applause.

monious whole that makes the photo

The conclusion Is a series Of beauti
full allegorical pictures showing the
futility Of war and the desirabflity o.

The euperlative degrees OF such ad-
jectives as tremendous and wonderful
would scarcely be sufficient to use in
describing D. W. Griffth's wonderful
production 1.-THE Birth OF a Nation"
!. One minute you are thrilled with the
pomp and glory Of war, and the next
you are shudder1ng and awed as you
see the grim reaper al the butt OF
every musket and welding every
his hands, and fawns in the gore OF
someone's brother or father, husband
or sweetheart. One minute the pic
turesque south with its old customs,
so quantity beautiful Is shown, and
then the orchestra breaks into the
wild, savage. discordant music as the
nulatto. and the negro lieutenant gov
ernor, and the negro soldiers with
renegade white captains cross the
screen and spread destruction and at
tempt to crush the south under the
black heel.

The sufferings of the south that the
