The price of coal is

man looks to the quality
of the coal he buys and
expects pretty good serv-
ice after he buys.
KORAN coal is the
shortcut to good coal

buy KORAN of us we
sell you 1000 lbs. of COAL
for a ton.

exclusive-no yelling or

ARMY CAREER IS
LOSING PRESTIGE
IN SWEDEN

Stockholm, Sweden, June 23.-The
new year book for the Swedish army
shows that the career of army officer
is becoming steadily less attractive
and the number of designations has
increased, and the number Of officer
aspirants has materially decreased,
change being particularly noticeable
during the war years. In 1914 there
were still nine supernumerary Off
GERS on the rolls. There is now a
deficit of 115, of which 50 untitled
commissions are in tn einfantry and
80 in the cavalry.
Several reasons for the decreasing
attractiveness Of the officers career
are given by military critics. One is
economic, the cost of living having
increased so much more rapidly than
the pay of officers that they are COM
PEELED to seek more lucrative profess
ions. The anti-militaristic agitation
of the last few years also is credited
with a part of the responsibility for
the change. Other factors combined
also to bring about a situation which
is causing uneasiness in conservative
circles.

it difficult to affect carefreeness and
gaiety.
The Jazz band put him into a hap
py-gO-lucky state at once The only
difficulty was that ne couldn't make
his feet behave. The real rub came
when Stuart reverted to his villianous
work in the later episodes of the pic
ture.
In two scenes in particular Stuart
had to stop the band. In one he sub
dues two yeggmen who are busy
cracking a safe, and in the other he
makes off with his bOss's money which
the crooks intended to take.
The Jazz band began to tear off a
syncOpated air as the camera began
to click. The yeggs were attentively
studying the safe. Stuart starts across
the office. When he reached the mid
die of the floor his feet began to
shuttle and slide to the tango music.
His shoulders also kept time with the
syncopated beat, His battle with the
crooks degenerated into a tango
dance. Even the yeggs couldn't resist
the music.
The same thing happened when
Stuart tried to skip with the money.
He tackled from once side of the set
to the other, He even took an oc,
casional back step.
There was a deadly silence in the
studio when Stuart finally recalled
the exit The director was tearing
his hair When his voice returned
he told Stuart he was the nearest
he had even seen to a broadway
lounge lizard in action" and decrped
that hereafter the Jazz be kept silent
during "heavy" scenes.
After seeing the run of that "take'
on the screen Stuart paid the must
clans what was coming to them and
told them to hunt new pastures.

William Farnum in American
Methods"

CASTOR J. bureau, Jr., the celebrat-
ed motion picture and theatrical
critic of the New Orleans Item, has
the following to say of William Far
mum in American Methods" which
comes to the Isis Wednesday:
"Sturdily American, as was to have
been expected, although supposed to
be of French descent, William Far
mum successfully carries American
methods, both in love and business,
into a sleepy town in France, in this
adaptation of George 0hnet's we'll
known novel, The Ironmaster, pro
duced by the Fox Film Corporation,
directed by Frank Lloyd, with Billy
Foster at the camera. Farnum lives
up to all the traditions of his career
in his portrayal of the part of the
ironmaster, and has a beautiful foil
in Claire, the daughter Jewel Car
mem, of the old French noble fam
lily who dominated the village prior
to his arrival with his lively little
sister Betty (F'lorence Vidor). He
has inherited from his French ances-
tors an estate with an iron mine and
forge in France, and goes. to the vii
lage to take charge of the business.
There he meets the Marquise de
Beaulieu, her daughter Claire and
, her son Octave. He falls in love with
Claire, who is betrothed to CASTOR,
| Due de Bligny, who is poor, and Is
| loved in turn by Marie MouInet,
| daughter of a newly rich manufac-
J turer CASTOR jilts Claire when he
learns she has lost her fortune, and
marries Marie. Claire. although not
| loving Armstrong, accepts him, and
| Octave falls in love with Betty. Gas
ton still loves Claire, his marriage
with Marie being entirely mercenary.
Forcing his attentions on her they
are caught by Armstrong in what
| appears to be a compromising situa-
ton, but Claire explains and CASTOR
/ is thrashed by Armstrong. Claire
| has grown to love her American hus-
| band when she finds his nobility of
| character, and CASTOR tries treaCher-
Ously to shoot him. Then Armstrong
sails into him for good, and he is left
| chOked nearly to death. This warning
! is sufficient, and he ceases to bother
/ the American and his aristOcratiC
| French wife, leaving them to their
/ neW-fOund happiness. There are
! some strongly dramatic situations in
the picture, and several touches of
| comedy, one of them being where
| Jimmy, Armstrong; chauffeur, has a
! Irritation with Claire's maid, whom
he regards as a new style of French
| 'Vamp.' The production ranks among
the best of the Fox features, and
should be winner on any program
