THE BIRTH OF A NATION
The Famous Movie to be Shown Here
March 24-Matinee and Night.

W y
March 24-Matinee and Night.
AS a star-gazer might pick par
ticularly brilliant star from out the
Milky Way, so a theatre-goer who
witnesses the Birth of a Nation will
recall from its myriads of exciting
scenes, joys and woes and wonders,
one particular scene of speed which
occurs in a negro rumshop, into
which a young white man has
strolled in search of a negro muir
derer.
Perhaps a dozen murderous look
ing wretches are in the hut. By a
cunning trick the proprietor seeks
to beguile the youth while he is
dealt a deadly blow by one of the
inmates, but he is prepared and look
ing for this and its attempt is the
the signal to cut loose. He disarms
the latter and rough handles the
former-then the circus commences.
White eyes and dark visages pop up
from every corner and their owners
fall upon the reckless white, but he
handles them all, knocking them
right and left, throwing them out of
the window, picking them up bodily
and knocking others down with
them, and literally cleaning up the
place, until he is treacherously shot

Automobile Drivers Given Warninx.

In an effort to duce the number of
railroad crossing automobile accidents,
the Chicago and Great Western Rail-
road company has sent out large cir
cular as follows:
"Mr. and Mrs. Automobilist:
Are you aware of the grave perils
that beset you at railroad crossings?
Have you considered that you are
counting death when you attempt to
cross the track without making sure
that no train is approaching?
''Do you know that over 1000 per-
sons, who failed to stop, look and lis
ten at crossings were killed last year
and that greater number were injur-
ed?
''Do you know that the number Of
those killed and injured are increasing
at the rate of Is per cent each year?
mot all the reckless drivers vera
killed last year; some of them 'sacri-
feed themselves this year, and others
will meet sudden death next year.
You do not wish to be among the num-
Der. Then run no risk.
"A train travelling 60 miles an hour
moves one-sixth of mile in ten Sec
onds. You cannot estimate accurately
the moment an approaching train will
reach crossing. But you can wait q
few seconds until the train passes, and
be safe. Isn't that better than wait
ing long time in the hospital or the
cemetery?
"When you gamble with death you
merely break even when you win!
When you lose, you lose all! No gam
bier wins every time.
"Carefulness signifies good judgment,
self-control, a trained mind and devel-
oped faculties.
Reckless persons, according to Mr..
Webster, are mindless, headless,
thoughtless. Nature is determind to
to eliminate them.
"Our motto is "Safety always
Think!
Don't you consider it good one?"

peace talk and pessimistic reports. He
declared the government had observed

To Stifle Peace Talk

the government had ordered a judicial
inquiry of the case of the manager Of

from abroad under suspicious circum-
stances. He said that under no condi-

morale of the country TO be weakened
by a campaign TO lead the nation
toward a peace dictated by Germany,
which would be a dishonor TO France.
