DURBOROUGH BATTLE FILMS
TO BE SHOWN HERE
Invasion of Poland Depicted in
'Movies" of Warfare on Eastern
Front-Gayety Even in Berlin.

Views of Kaiser and family in
cluded in $500 feet of remarkable
photographs. Stirring episodes OF
the great German offensive against
Russia; intimate views of Kaiser
Wilhelm and the royal family and
scenes depicting the economic and
military life of Germany will be
thrown on the moving picture screen
under the auspices Of The Press and
Banner at the Opera House.
The films, which are declared to
be the most remarkable photographs
that have come out of Germany,
were taken there under special ar
rangement with the German govern
ment by W. H. Durborough, press
photographer, who traversed over
5000 miles in securing them and
passed time and again through fire
swept regions in an endeavor to
get actual scenes from the front for
his American audiences.
The Durborough pictures are said
by experienced men who have seen
them to show the German army in
action as no other series Of pictures
have done. Mr.. Durborough traver-
sed regions devastated in the terri
BILE fighting between the Germans
and the Russians until they reached
the very front on the battle line.
Step by step the pictures take the
audience from Rotterdam to Berlin,
unfolding the civic life of the Ger
man nation, depicting personages
like the Kaiser, the kaisering, the
crown prince and crown princes and
men of the German general staff,
passing into the war country and
showing the German army advancing
against the Russians, accompanying
General Won Hindenburg's army in
to Warsaw and General Won Bese-
ler's army. into the triumphant as
sault on our last Russian strong
hold in Poland, Novo Georgievsk.
"By far the most telling of my
pictures are those that show init
mately the advance of the German
army into Russia said Mr.. Dur
borough. "Here are the wrecked
homes of the Masurian Lake coun-
try, the devastated fields, the refu-
gees returning to them, the on
slaught on Novo Georgievsk, per-
haps the most terrible of that ad-
vance. The action Of the great guns
and their effect came strikingly be-
fore the lens of the camera"
"I took $4,000 feet and the Ger
man censorship cut out $500; the
$500 feet I have brought back with
me contain some of the most won
derful disclosures of the methods
used by the German army that it has
been the luck of any photographer
to get" ... :,,-
The Durborough films will be
shown one day only, Monday, Feb:
IL, from III a. M, to II pIm., and
all net profits accruing to The Press
and Banner will be turned over to
the American Red Cross for use in
all war stricken countries without
discrimination.

"Doo:DiAD" DEFINED.

Dear "Bill": ....
You published an article last week
in your paper about our trip to
Washington in the interest of my
"Doo-Dad.' This article was COM
mented on and afforded our friends
a great deal of amusement, but you,
I am sure, were not conscious of the
trouble you would cause me by that
article, for everywhere I 60 every
one wants to know what a "Doo-
Dad" is, and not only this, the mails
come loaded and I have lost so much
sleep answering these letters, and
just on account of this article, that
something must be done, so ask
that you publish this article and let
the many readers forever know what
a "Doo-Dad" is. For this word has
been misunderstood by your many
readers. For example, one fellow
writes as if he thinks it some new
kind of Jack-Ass and another as if
it is some new Steam Engine. So
the inquiries are much varied. So
in self-defense ask you to publish
the following:
By referring to Webster you will
find the word "Do" (spelt by Car
penter "Doo") to mean ITO bring
about" Ito perfect" ''to fnish," and
"Dad", by same author, means
"Father," so when this is coupled
together, you readily see the mean
ing of "Doo-Dad", that I have Fa-
thered, brought about, perfected and
finished something and this special
"Doo-Dad" is a propeller placed in
the breast of any make of cotton
gin and belted to shaft to increase
speed of roll" which does not de-
pend on the force of the saws to
drive it, but is Independent of saws,
can be run at any speed desired, in
fact roll is in motion even when
breast is raised, so you see you
have a perfect roll system unbreak-
able, so I find startling results.
First: Doubles capacity of gin;
Second: Prevents cotton accumu-
lating in ribs, the thing all ginners
dread; Third: Delints cotton with
one half revolutions as other gins; !;
Fourth: Makes longer, stronger and
better sample; Fifth: Will gin
frost-bitten or damp cotton as fast
as other gins will dry cotton; Sixth:
Will clean seed better; Seventh :
Will save practically one half fuel; ;
Eighth: Will save practically one
half labor; Ninth: Will gin every
lock cotton that goes in breast;
Tenth: Will give customer his own
seed and not his neighbors run-out
seed; Eleventh: Not necessary to
raise breast in changing from one
bale cotton to another; Twelfth:
Will take care of roll whether there
is much, little or no cotton in breast.
Now, Bill, these are a few things
that my "Doo-Dad' will do and only
about half when other alterations
are made about the cotton gin of to-
day. Hope you will see your way
clear to publish this article, for I
am sick and tired answering ques-
tions and greatly need sleep.
Yours very truly,
S. J. Wakefield,
Father of the "Doo-Dad."

DAYS TOO SHORT.

When Primroses are out in Spring
And SMALL blue vioets come between:
When merry birds sing on boughs green
And rills, as soon as born must sing
When butterflies will make side leaps.
AS though escaped from Natures hand
Ere perfect quite; and bees will stand
Upon their heads in fragrant decps;
When small clouds svery white
Each a broken trimmed moon
When such things are this world too soon,
For me- doth wear the veil of Night.
