"RAMONAo BIGGEST
 FILM EVER MADE

The biggest photodrama in the world. covering more than two miles of film, is one of a number of special distinction claimed for the C1une cin- ema operatic spectacle Ramona % which it has just been announced will be sent here for a limited en- gagement at Lyric theatre next Sun- day evening. May 18th.
 Totally different from any stage or film offering heretofore evolved, and known to have been an overnight sensation in the great metropolis, and other big cities, Ramona" comes here as one of the big novelties of the theatrical year. It is gathered from descriptions and comment car ried by the big periodicals of the country that the production justifies designation af spectacle because of mammoth scenes, special effects and wonderful musical score more pretentious than ever before ventur- ed by the most daring of einematic producers. And idea of it's magni- tude is carried in the statement that almost three hours are required for a single performance and that during the whole run of the presentrnent there is not a halt in the orchestral accompaniment "cued'' te the second of the entire production.
 Ramonas" great popularity as a stage offering doubtless. is due to the fact that it carries in great measure the romantic charm and deep love of the popular novel of which it is an adaptation. Helen Hunt Jacksons famous story of early California his tory bearing same name. This novel is known throughout the literary world as ''the love story of the ages, P and even to the present time is one of the most sought volumes in all the libraries of the United States.
 The management of the local play house has received the assurance of the producers of Ramona" that the spectacle will be sent here without elimination of any character and with specially chosen musicians for an augmented orchestra that will render the ,productien's impressively beauti- full muSIca1 score.

LYRIC

Manager Isham of the Lyric thea Ire will produce for the first time in this city, next week, Julia Arthurs wonderful starring vehicle, The Eter- nal Magdalene.
 The story of the play deals with the efforts of a wealthy man in ridding the community in which he dwells of ''scarlet women" He brings to his aid a famous evangelist, and stops at nothing to drive what he terms as "a blot upon the fair name of the town" out forever. He falls asleep in his study, and the spirit of Mary Magdalene appears before him. Then follows three acts of the most sur prising, bewildering and astounding situations ever penned by an author for the stage.
 The Eternal Magdalene is based upon the old saying. People living in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" It will teach every thinking man and woman that's There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that 1t hardly behooves any of us to talk about the rest of us. L

BUSINESS AS USUAL"
(By E. c. Morse Vice President and General Manager, Chalmers Mo tor Company, Detroit.)

The worst thing that could hap pen to the world right now would be a business depression in the United States. With the country unprosper. ous, with business duII, money tight either through fear or false economy would be a calamity.
 War in itself does not cause busi- ness depression. Billions of dollars have been appropriated by Congress for war preparations. This great sun of money, put into immediate circula. tion in this country, will create new wealth for use in the world-struggle for humanity.
 It would be a tremendous error te halt business now through an unpa. triotic feeling of panic and a mistak. en idea of patriotic economy.
 Patriotic economy calls upon all tc eliminate waste and extravagance. Ii demands that we conserve our food products, and our natural wealth. Ii also demands that we guard oul health, our energies, our labor, oul very lives; that we should put more efficiency in everything we do.
 Our president, in his inspired war message to the people said, "It is evil dent to every thinking man that ou1 industries, on the farm, in the ship yard, in the mines, Sin the factories must be made more prolific and more efficient.
 The way to accomplish this is for the people to buy and use the mer- chandtse produced iSusiness cannot grow and remain healthful unless the whole people buy as usual and keep money i'll circulation
 America will show the world that a war built on the principles of right eousness and freedom>n not inn poverish the people or stop the wheels of industry
 America will prove that prosperity can go hand in hand with war when waged with clear headed intelligence, The American people will continue to need food and clothing. They will not give up the luxuries of life. They will continue to buy motor cars and stocks Theatres and baseball and other amusements will go- All these must be supplied, as well as fightine men, and supplies for the fighting men,
 In doing his bit to help, every in dividual should labor, more now than
 
 industrial endeavor. The greater tax of labor imposed upon us by the un- usual conditions of the present hour necessitates a greater activity and greater efficiency on the part of ev- cry individual in order to meet these extraordinary conditions. Caution is warranted, but we should buy goods and lead the lives we have been ac- customed to. Factories must be kept going to their full capacity. Labor must be kept employed Our homes must be kept up We must cheerful 1y pay war duties in addition to usual peace duties and expenditures.
 In doing our bit, every one of us should buy up to the limit of our ability, to the end that money shall be kept in circulation
 Let us take as our s1ogaf-and spread this slogan everywhere, for our own good, for the country's good. for the worlds, good, business as usual.

people here that day. We are glad to
know that Burlington people are con-

assured that every dollar will be ac-
counted for and applied to the best
advantage possible. Be generous.
A Red Cross unit has been organ
lied on North Prairie with Mrs. M. D.
Graham in charge. We are glad to
note this fact as we believe that the
greatest good may be accomplished by
small units working along these lines

PREMATURE BLAST
KILLS COAL MINER
Carl Reidell, Burlington Miner, Kill
ed Wednesday Evening at Davis
Coal Mine.

Carl Reidell, miner employed at
the Davis mine, was killed by the pre-
mature explosion Of a charge of blast
ing powder in a room where he was
working Wednesday evening. AS is
the custom among the miners, he had
placed three charges Of powder in the
coal seam just before quitting work
for the night and retiring to an ad-
joining room awaited the explosion.
Either he had mistaken the count or
the detonation of blast placed in
another room had been mistaken for
one Of his own, he had just re-entered
the room when the third blast &C.
Cured. He evidently received the full
force of the flying chunks of coal as
his body was terribly mangled. His
death followed a few minutes after
his removal to the mouth of the shaft.
Reidell was a young man Of pleasing
personality and was a general favor
tie among the men employed at the
mine. He was of draft age as a card
found among his effects indicated, but
nothing further regarding his family
history is known. 1t is said that he
has relatives residing near Fessenden.
The coroner was called hut after view
ing the remains and inspecting the
scene of the accident he decided that
an inquest was unnecessary.
