 This picture is now being shown in every country on the globe which is not at war. There are over one hun dred copies of it being shown all over the United States.
 Recently it broke the record at the Tudor theatre in New Orleans, doing the largest business ever done at this house, which is one of New Orleans most beautiful theatres.

ADJUSTMENTS. All advance notices furnished by Theatres.
BEST THEATRE,

Today-The popular serial "The Secret Kingdom" in it's eleventh epi- sode with Airline Pretty, Charles Rich man, Dorothy Kelly, and Ned Finley. This episode shows the great danger of superstition. Altogether 1t is a thrilling, as we'll as romantic episode. This ones name is "The White Witch"
 The feature of the program is the two-reel picturization of the work of our fighting forces entitled Uncle Sam Afloat and Ashore" It is of es- pecial interest at this time. It shows the duties of all the different classes of men in the army, navy, and ma rines, from the grimiest stoker to the greatest admiral of the navy and like wise in the other departments. Rela- tives of men subject to conscription should see this to know under what conditions their dear ones may live. Also the men themselves should see it to prepare for what is to come or per haps choose what service they like best. It also shows the new weapons and appurtenances of warfare, big guns, range finders, etc. A picture every one should see.
 Also a "Ham and Bud," comedy that is extremely ludicrous, withal being novel and original.

What effect is the rising prices OF

Perhaps We could get fair insight
into the future II we should look at
the question in this way. using the
dialog which actually took place in a

follow this, closely.

Another Example
Here is another example just by
way OF emphasis. The wool grower
objects to paying the hog raiser SIS
a hundred for his pork. But so also
does the stockman resent paying the
prices charged for his clothing that
is now made from wool which sells
at 20 cents pound as against its
former price of 25 cents a pound,
However, when wool was at its low
