Al the Strand.

"The Girl at Home" being shown
at the Strand. has number of distinct
merits that appeal to the screen de-
voice who, perchance has become
somewhat blase There Is not single
improbability in it. Nobody Is shot;
everybody acts naturally as just
folks" and New England people at
that. It wakes "reminiscences Of the
novels Of Mary e. Wilkins, tho the
author of the story 1t Is taken from is
George Middleton. And the many who
witnessed it last evening were pleased
from start to finish. One feels better
while and after taking. 1t is pre-
sentiment of the good boy and the usual
"ordeal" he has to undergo when he
goes to big college, one he can find
no word Of in the text books on physi-
ology and psychology. But, of course,
all comes out right in the end. Vivian
Martin and Jack Picl1ford have the
leading parts. but James Neill and
Edith Chapman also earn praise for
their work And there Is detective
who is q real man as well. And there
is bulldog, yclept Spike" who has
a lot of action and is admirable in II
ALL Teaching without preaching, 1.-THE
Girl at Home" is satisfactory story.

CLAIMS Invention
OF AIR MONSTER
Pastor Says His Plane can Carry 800
Men 10000 Miles.

West Plains, Mo-, Feb. 27.-An
aircraft differing from the airplane
and the Zeppelin, and which he hopes
will be of value to the United States
in event of war, has been invented
by the Rev. Thomas M. Finley, pas
tor of the Methodist church here,
and will be exhibited by him before
the army and navy heads soon.
The machine is heavier than air
type and is called an aerocruiser by
its inventor. 1t overcOmes one OF
the chief objections to present air
machines in that it does not need q
large field for starting. 1t can rise
straight into the air, carrying sixteen
tons. Its inventor claims the aero
cruiser can fly 100 miles an hour,
carry 500 men and operate over
radius of 10000 miles. The machine
is $40 feet long.

BORROWING UNDER
FARM LOAN STATUTE

Omaha. Neb., Feb. 27.-With ap-
plications for more than 100000
for loans, made to Customs Collector
Loomis, the success of the Omaha
Land Bank is already assured. This
shows the keen interest in the Land
Bank and gives much food for
thought for those who. have been pes
simistic regarding the Loan Banks.
These applications do not include
by any means all who seek to take
advantage of the act. 1T is very
small proportion of those who have
made application. ,...~...
That the Omaha Bank is to be the
biggest and best bank in the chain
is freely predicted. With its won
derful territory of Nebraska, Iowa,
South Dakota and Wyoming. the ON
aha Bank can hardly be anything
but the best. The announcement oe
officers is being delayed but it is stat
ed the appointments are liable to
come at any time now.
