"The Great Divide"

Recording the grandeur and
splendor of that world-famed
Grand Canyon Of Arizona, the
latest of the big stage plays to
be adapted for the motion piture
screen, The Great Divide, has
been completed.
The Lubin Company, the man
ufacturers of this special feature
were at constant work in it's
preparation for more than six
months, encamped for more than
four weeks of this time at the
very bottom of the Canyon where
with a staff of stage carpenters,
technical men, the famous Lubin
night lig hting plant, and a score
of camera men, the stiffness of
that world-famed spot has been
rudely interrupted by the con-
slant whirl of the cameras
crank. With the completion of
the recording of the magnificent
scenes of the Canyon, the com
pany moved on to Gallup where
more of the desired "atmos-
phere" was secured and then to
the mountains of South Carolina
where the heart tingling"
landslide, a big feature of the
picture, was taken.
''The Great Divide" has been
conceded by the critics who
have viewed it, to be one of the
most pretentious offerings yet to
have come from the plants of
any of the motion picture produc-
ing companies.
Ethel Clayton, the popular
Lubin player, is cast in the role
of Ruth Jordan with House
Peters as her co-star in the
character of the rough and rug
ged westerner, Steve Client.

conditions. Let him know what the
master minds in live stock and agri-
culture are doing or contemplating.
Let the youth of the country have an
opportunity to realize that the period
OF excess food production has become
chapter of history and that remun-
eratlve prices for everything the
soil can be coaxed to yield are assur-

SAYS BLUFF IS BIG ASSET

That hluff is the greatest asset ali
American has in doing business in
South America, was the statement
made by . ii. Kanmacher at the ban
quet OF the American Institute of
Electrical Engineers, which was hello
on the campus of The Ohio State Uni
veisity recently.
Mr.. Kanmacher, who graduated
from Ohio State in 1900, has been in
Peru for the last eight years as an
engineer for the General Electric
Company, and has been in a position
to become acquainted with business
ideas of Latin people, He says that
American manufacturers have not yet
awakened to the fact that the Latin
American does business on the "brain-
storm" policy and not in the manner
of the people of North America. Price
is the only factor which is considered
in buying goods, the average business
man having no idea of quality Until
the manufacturers here recognize
this fact and learn to bluff, German
and French firms will continue to sup,
ply the machinery used by these peo-
pie.

NEW SONG BOOK APPEARS;
DEDICATED TO DIR. THOMPSON

With the arrival of the first copy
of the new Ohio State University song
book came the announcement of the
dedication of the book, which has been
kept secret. With a splendid photo
graph of President W. O. Thompson,
the book is dedicated to him in the
following words:
"A wise man, thoughtful in his ac-
/ tons and discrete in his speech; a
/ serviceable man, broad in his interests
deep in his affection, and prodigal of
his time and his strength; friendly
man, lover of youth, and beloved
himself by folk of every station; an
honest man, Tegardful of his word,
and aware of his responsibilities; a
competent man, successful in his ad-
minist1ation and increasing his infu-
ence with the years of his service
all these things the Ohio State Uni
versity Association finds in President
William 0llley Thompson, to whom
with ve.y sincere and affectionate ad-
miration, it dedicates this 1916 edi-
ton of Songs of Ohio State Univer-
sity,"
The song book, which is judged by
critics as the, best publication of its
kind in the country, contains 23z
pages of music of the University, as
well as songs of other prominent col.
leges and universities The title OF
the song book is "Songs of Ohio State
University"

LET'S ALL JOIN IN THE CHORUS

Don't stop my paper, printer;
Don't strike my name off yet;
You know the times are stringent
And dollars hard to get;
But tug little harder
Is what l mean to do,
And scrape enough together
Enough for me and you.
l can't afford to drop it,
And l find it doesn't pay,
To do without a paper,
However others may;
hate to ask my neighbors
To give me theirs on loan;
They don't just say, but mean it,
"Why don't you have your own"
You can't tell how we miss it.,
If it, by any fate,
Should happen not to reach US,
Or come a little late;
Then all is in a hubub
And things go all awry;
And, printer, if you're married,
You'll know the reason why
The children want those stories,
And wife is anxious too,
At first to glance it over
And then to read it through;
And l read the editorials
And scan the local views,
And read the correspondence
And every bit of news.
The Advance.

HEMP-STALK FRAGMENTS
E0R ID DIED M Az 1

In an effort to find material for
making book paperI which can be
used as a substitute for wood pulp,
Investigators for the Department of
Agriculture have discovered that the
fragments from hemp stalks serve
very satisfactorily. The hurd5. as
they are called, are the waste pro-
duced in preparing hemp fiber for the
market. They can be reduced chemi-
cally to paper stock by a process
which differs but little from that used
in making pulp from poplar wood 1t
requires more bleaching and beating,
but the first steps in it's preparation
are less expensive.-From the De-

MAY HAVE WIRELESS SERVICE.

Wireless news service between The
Ohio State University and the Uni
versity of Michigan will be establish
ed this winter, if plans originating at
Ohio State materialize. Michigan will
be consulted in the matter as soon as
possible and it is thought that the es-
tablishment of miniature news bu-
reau will be favored by it, as the two
university stations areti in touch three
evenings Of the week.
The plan as suggested is to have
the Michigan Daily release news mat
ter that would be of interest at Ohio
State, with the operators at Ann Ar
Dor, and in exchange the Ohio State
Lantern would send such stories as
would be of interest to the readers of
the Michigan paper 1t is also thought
possible to include the University of
Pittsburgh in the association. The
project would serve the double pur-
pose of keeping the institutions in
touch with each other and giving the
operators practice.

NEW DEVICE USED ON COAST
TO STOP THEFT OF CARS

Quite a novel scheme of motor-car
theft prevention is being tried out at
Los Angeles, where a local inventor
has designed a shackle that is in
tended to be secured tightly about
the rim and tire of one of the wheels
of a machine. The device is rather
inconspicuous, is fitted with a high
grade lock and tapers to a blunt
point on the face A car, with this
contrivance attached to a wheel, can
not be driven along a street normally
without attracting immediate atten-
tion, for the humping is pronounced
and the noise considerable. The spike
also leaves its marks in a smooth
eurface pavement or dirt road, form

The warm looking and dainty
bootees shown in the picture will be

stand crocheting. They are crocheted
of white zephyr and shaped to fit
over the knees. A beading is worked
in near the top and narrow pink satin
ribbon run through it makes it pos,
sible to tie the boots so that they
will not slip down.
A novel and very pretty touch is
given these bootees by the tiny pink
rose buds that are embroidered on
them with silk floss.
Little wooden hangers are covered
with cotton for padding and over
this light satin ribbon is shirred. The
hook is wound with the ribbon and
the hanger finished with pretty bow.
