POPULAR PROGRAM
AT THE STRAND

The Strand theater has secured
some excellent talent for the COM
ing week. Sunday for one day only,
''The Bugler of Algiers" will play.
This is Bluebird photoplay and the
photography is most excellent and
the story is interesting from the be-
ginning of the play to the end.
THE Bugler of Aigiers"' IS cap:
tured by the enemy. He is ordered
to blow a retreat and knowing that
; for his army to advance would mean
victory disobeys the command: This
is a play which shows the great love
Of patriotism and love of country,
and is full of life and action"
Gail: Kane will appear at the
Strand: Monday, Tuesday,: and We'd
nesday. in Paying the: Price," She
is SUPPORTED" by an excellent cast of
performers, including GLADDEN. James
and June Elvidge. "Paying the
Price, is a. naval story taken from
the pen Of Barton L. Stevenson. The
|. picture was made, in cooperation
with the United States government
A special order was received from
the, secretary. Of the navy. Josephus
Daniels: allowing the members of the
World Film company to take: scenes
aboard the United States torpedo boat
!. destroyer "Wadsworth,' from which
several torpedoes were fired and two
+: exploded to give the picture the real
istic atmosphere required for, the
proper interpretation of the plot
Each torpedo costs over $4,000, thus
giving an idea Of the amount Of
money spent for obtaining realistic
effect in making this five-reel feature.
The story shows the rivalry between
an army and navy lieutenant.

I1dltor Inc Labor .IOrld:
Fellow citizens, this is an auspi-
cious. time for thought. With nearly
all of Europe in deadly combat, each
nation fighting fiercely for the prize
of place in world industry, each sacri-
ficing the life blood of it's people for
opportunity of expansion and world
power, it may be advantageous, that
we. who are so fortunate as. to be
spectators of this, the most horrible
OF wars, should ask ourselves, what
good can come of this war for those
Who will return to labor in either
the vanquished or victorious nations ?
Think it over carefully. We, too, may,
IN the not far distant future, be
called upon to play in a similar role
1t Is we'll, then, that we now, while
at peace with this horrible spectacle

slble good that will accrue to the peo-
