of time. II il a story with "A point which
will come straight home TO many of us.

inactive and | suffered from headaches.
also had nervous and dizzy spells.
Doan's Kidney Pills gave me relief. |

kidney trouble"
The above statement was given on Nov

while mammoth peace meeting is in
progress. Peace is forgotten in the
face of the impending horror. What
follows is terrible to contemplate, ev-
en- in imagination. Homes are des-
troyed and the women of the country
are thrown upon the mercy of those
who know no such virtue. Death and
struction follow fast upon the
marching feet Of thousands of the in
vading force.
The spectacle ends with a symbol
ical reel, presenting various heroes Of
the Civil War, first showing the des-
truction Of the capitol at Washington.
In the end a marching host of Ameri-
cans, passing shoulder to shoulder,
cheered on their way by Columbia,
with the restored White House in the
background, portrays the possibilities
Of preparedness against war.
Wonderful acting has gone into the
making of "The Battle Cry of Peace"
The part Of John Harrison, taken by
Charles Richman, is executed with
cleverness and deep understanding.

pressive and artistically efficient. Nor
man Talmadge plays Virginia Wander
griff with an emotional strength that
is inspiring. Other parts, including
those of the thousands of soldiers and
civilians, are well cared for. y
"The Battle Cry of Peace" is
wonderfully eloquent plea against the
blindness of satisfied wealth and any
belief in. the possibility of protection
without protective means. It is
worthy effort in every way and should
be seen by everyone. sNr-a.~

look. 1t is a picture that demands

Opening with series of pictures re-

America, the picture proceeds to de-
pict in word and view, a lecture on
"Defenseless America" by Hudson
Maxim. In it the story of unprepar-

tive figures showing the relative mill
tary and naval force possessed by
this country and with other world pow
ers are given.
From the Maxim lecture scenes the
picture merges in to the photodramatic
"Battle Cry of Peace" section without
a break. Two families are shown first
in time of peace, then the various
of the two homes are traced
thru the horrible devastation of an in
vasion of America, the destruction of
New York and the conquest Of the
country. Wonderful photography and
stagecraft have entered
into the production of the picture. The

most of the larger towns-so long as
they are towns and not cities-one
newspaper is rising dominant and au-
thoritative because it interprets and
directs the community. The others
are merely expressions of vagrant
moods; they are unhushed voices that
are still uncorrelated, still unbridled
in the community's heart.
1t is therefore the country newspa-
per, the one that speaks for the town,
that guides and cherishes the town,
that embodies the distinctive spirit of
the town, wherein one town differeth
from another in glory is that
country newspaper, which takes its
color from town and gives color back
that shall engage our attention at
present. That newspaper shalkbe our
vision. .4t. -.sz
Of old in this country the news
paper was a sort of poor relation in
the commerce of a place. The news
paper required support and the sup
port was given, somewhat in charity,
more or less in return for the polite
blackmail, and the rest for business
reasons. The editor was a tolerated
person. He had to be put on the chair
manship of some important committee
in every community enterprise to Sc
cure his help. In times of social or
political emergency, he sold stock in
his newspaper company to statesmen.
That was in those primeval days be-
fore corporations were controlled

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER
William Allen White on a Curious
American Institution

Now into this peculiar civilization
comes that curious institution, the
country newspaper. The country news
paper is the incarnation of the town
spirit. The newspaper is more than
the voice of the country-town spirit;
the newspaper is in measure the will
of the town, and the towns character
is displayed with sad realism in the
towns newspapers. A newspaper is
as honest as its town, is as intelligent
as it's town, as kind as its town, as
brave as it's town. And those curious
phases of abnormal psychology often
found in men and women, wherein a
dual or multiple personality speaks,
are found often in communities where
many newspapers babble the many
voices arising from the disorganized
spirits of the place. For 10 years and
more the tendency in the American
country town has been toward fewer
That tendency seems to
show that the spirit of these commune
tiles is unifying. The disassociated
personalities of the communicable

public utilities, the vets and the drys.
the Guelfs and the Ghibellines in a
score Of guises that make for discord
in towns-are slowly knitting into the
spirit of the place. So one newspaper
