RAMONA" NOVEL OFFERING.

Will Be Shown At Colonial Septem-
Der % and Is.
With the promise that on this oc-
casion local theater-goers will see a
genuine novelty in offerings of the
American stage, announcement is
made that the cinema operate spec
tacle, Ramona" will open its first
engagement here at the Colonial
Wednesday and Thursday. Sept. 81
and 2S. This is the cinematic and
musical production adapted from
Helen Hunt Jackson's famous ro-
nance of California and the Mission
Indians produced by w. H. Clune,
who was one of the makers of that
other mighty spectacle, THE Birth of
Nation
Local interest in this unique pro-
duction has been whetted by news
paper comment and magazine articles
of the past several months, which at
tribute to it many unusual features.
Described as the very biggest film
ever made, stress is laid on the point
that the production as a photodrama
is no greater than it is a musically-
accompanied spectacle. This claim is
based on the fact that score requir-
ing nearly three hours for a special
performance. But the greatest praise
that has been accorded is on the pre-
mise that the photodrama is faith
full picturing of the amazingly popu-
lar novel, bringing to the theater
without loss at any point the i'm
perishable charm and appeal of the
original work which has come to be
called the love story of the ages. +"
AS all Ramona readers know the
locale of the story is southern Cali
fornia, unquestionably one of the
most beautiful bits of country in the
world. This gave wide opportunity
for the photography of superb nat
ural settings and that this chance
was exploited to the limit of its pos
sibilities is shown by frequent refer
ence to the natural settings of 'Ra-
mona" as the most superb piece
of landscape photography every
achieved.

DISCOVERS ONE VIRTUE.

Can anything good come out of
Nazareth? Is it possible that in the
eyes of Golfers anything good could
come out of democratic admin
stration? Look here and see what
that weekly says of the child labor
bill:
The child labor bill, which
forbids interstate traffic in goods
turned out by factories or mines
employing children under four
teen or working persons between
fourteen and sixteen more than
eight hours a day, is a fine piece
of humanitarian legislation. BY
making it federal law congress,
thanks to the insistence of Presi-
dent Wilson, has done something
most of the intelligent people in
the United States have desired for
the last twenty years"
The editor of Golfers Weekly finds
one virtue that Woodrow Wilson has
and it recognizes that the democrats
have passed one piece of humanta-
rian legislation which intelligent pco-
pie have wanted long time, but
which the republicans never gave
hem.
The only reason We can perceive
,f that would induce Golfers to
make such remarks Is that some Of |
he southern senators were opposed |

BUSINESS SITUATION.

month by corporations in the United
States This is an increase of $25,-
10000 over the same month last year
And this is not ALL the corporations
are being ultra conservative, they
have withheld much of the profits as
surplus funds FOR fear that business
will be disturbed when the war ends
and they are holding back part of the
earnings as a precaution against a
period of stagnation which they fear
might come. The year 1916 has wit
messed very active business in al
most all lines The good crop Of the
present year will not equal tina, of a
year ago, but nice surplus has been
carried over and the people will have
plentiful supply. The high prices
prevailing will make up for the short
age of the yield as far as the farmer
is concerned and he will be in as
good shape as he was when his crops
were larger
