Il. c. |. BOOSTED
STILL HIGHER,
SAY CROCERS
(By United Press.)

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.---While the
increase of the price Of foodstuffs,
amounting to % per cent, picked the
pockets of New Workers, grocers to-
day predicted another % per cent in
crease which will make many staples
Injuries by spring.
The European war is blamer for
the advance. The allies are willing
to pay such high prices for food that
the wholesalers ship abroad, the gro
GERS declare. The short crop is also
playing havoc with prices and Cana
da's participation in the war is having
lis effect, as the British possessions
are sending all their supplies Of food
tC the great armies and high prices
are paid to laborers by a munitions
plant and are taking men from the
FARMS. and farmers are forced to pay
higher prices in order to harvest their
cl ops. Spectators are also helping
to boost prices, grocers say, These
dealers say that the only solution Of
the problem is by the United States
government.

GREAT PICTURE
COMES TO PALACE
THEATRE FRIDAY

Once in a generation or so book
finds its way into history. "Uncle
Toms Cabin was book of this kind.
BY crystallizing the scattered elements
of great problem it moved a nation.
Today there is another problem no
less vital to our country's welfare
than the one that inspired Harriet
Beecher Stowe. Slavery threatened
cur unity; today our very existence
is threatened by our defenselessness.
The solution of the one involved US
in war; the solution of the other will
prevent war.
j. Stuart Blackton conceived a great
idea and he took the facts and sta
tistics contained in Hurson Maxim s
"Defenseless America and around
them weaved an absorbing story, and
from this resulted "the Battle Cry of
Teace. It's object is to make the
American people realize our condition
as a nation, but to show them also
the consequences to which this con-
dition may lead, and finally to show
them how to remedy this condition.
THE Battle Cry of Peace" is call
to arms-not for war, but for peace.
It is the film sensation Of the year
and it will live long in the memroT
Of those seeing it as the greatest
achievement in the history of motion
pictures. Two shows will be given,
the first starting at o'clock and the
second at 9 o'clock.

HIS FIGHTING HEART IS
TOO MUCH FOR PARENTS
(By United Press.)

LONDON, Oct 18.-There's an 49,
year-old American in the British army
who simply refuses to quit fighting.
He is Norman Bruce Wallis of New
Orleans.
The British War office, the Ameri-
can Embassy and his parents tried to
make the young Southerner quit and
return home but he evaded them all.
When Uncle Sam first officially in
duced the War Office to release Wal
lis from his regiment, he took his dis
charge and promised to sail for New
Orleans. But he missed his ship and
promptly enlisted in another regiment.
The first process was soon repeated
and Embassy officials engaged the
boys passage on a ship bound for New
Orleans. He was installed in the home
of some friends until the ship sailed.
The ship, however, sailed without him
and Wallis returned to his old regi-
ment-one which halls from the Scot
t;sh "heelands" and wears kits. On
his arrival he was arrested for deser-
ton. The American embassy again
came to his rescue with official explain
ations.
Today, Wallis, known in the army
as Norman MacGregor Bruce, is with
his unit in Northern France, ready to
resist either officials or Germans.

She was engaged to marry foppish
lord whom her father had chosen for
her, but her heart was given to
another. On the night of the engage
ment party she was ready to elope
with the man she loved, and actually
arrived at the trysting place, when
something happened that changed the
whole course of her life and led her
finally behind convent walls, from
which she was never to emerge. Mean
while war had cast it's shadow upon
her life, time worked many changes,
home was wrecked and events that
followed altered the verdict of fate so
completely that what promised to be-
come the story Of happy lives and
peaceful homes turned into the deep
est tragedy. These are some of the
incidents that conspire to make "Na-
ked Hearts," the Bluebird Photoplay,
one of the most gripping dramas OF
the period, which is to be shown at
the L. & S. theater tonight. See it.

JOY FOR EVERYBODY
IS TO Be FOUND AT
SELLS-FL0T0

! This is the reign OF the children,
for circus is coming to town, COM
irg to stay for one whole day. and
great is the JOY in childhood land. The
JOY reaches out far beyond, as it
should, to grown-up land, and the
grown-ups, too, are happy. 1t is a
sight to ease the heaviest heart, and
to make yet lighter the happy ones
already light to watch an audience at
the Sells-Floto show.
1t never knows you are staring at
it. 1t is entirely unconscious of self,
blessed characteristic of childhood
and that we may carry On out Of our
childhood. Here and there small
woman, or tiny man, stands to bet
ter sect the antics of the clowns-4O
clowns Think of that army of foolish
fellows. Two or three used to make
us laugh until we were tired. When
two of the clowns-the tallest and
the shortest-who have been sparring
in a prize fight, are taken away in q
patrol wagon, little ren who are to be,
pipe their glee.
Of course, they don't point at the
performers in a grown-ups' playhouse
1t isn't done. But at the circus, where
eager little faces are sandwiched in
between larger ones that reflect their
joy, there are myriads of little fin
gers pointing as unerringly as hands
on clock.
| First it is the woman in tn ~'"---
ing white gown, who jumps on and Oft
the white horse while he is galloping;
that is the hour toward which all the
little hands point. Then it is the

She gurgled her delight at the sight
