THE CRISIS

It por...rays human Lincoln.
Heretofore, the Lincolns of both
the spoken drama and broader
drama of the screen have been mere
historical figureheads. Says Thomas
A. Edison: "In The Crisis We have
the Titanic figure Of Lincoln, his
actions, his characteristics preser-
we'd for posterity in moving pictures
in a manner so true to life that it
recalls to my mind the great eman-
cipator as l knew him."
A delicate and beautiful romance,
involving north and south in the
border city of St. Louis, is told
The play follows closely the novel,
which has had a great popular sue.
cess, and has now taken its place
among the classics of American
fiction.
The slave market Of old St. Louis
is reproduced, with an auction sale
of human chattels in progress.
Lincoln and Douglas debate the
fiery question that finally set Lbs
country in blaze Of Civil War
"Can the people of United States
territory in any lawful way, against
the wish of any citizen Of the Uni
ted States, exclude slavery from its
limits prior to the formation OF q
state constitution"
The torchlight campaign of The
sixties, with it's crude poetry OF the
backwoods, is shown, eliminating II
the election of Abraham Lincoln
Fort Sumpter is bombarded, ane
the American flag falls for the frs
ime before the hostile fire Of an IN
ternal enemy.
A nation rushes to arms at the
call of a raw-boned humorist, who
is destined to become the sublime
man of sorrows.
The battle of Vicksburg is fought
in detail, with its flotilla of crude
river gunboats bonbarding the fort:
on the bluff, and its blue and gray
coated land armies engaged IN
grim hand-to-hand death struggle.

loyalty to the government. Three
young white men have also enlisted
this morning. They were Messrs.
Burke, Gilmore and Hebert. They
will leave for New Orleans tomor-
row morning.

tage or disadvantage is possible.
Every merchant signing this list has
signified by his action that he re-
cognizes the merit in the plan and it
is a splendid example set by these

plan is practiced with cabbage, ex-
cept that i does not require so
much water.
The Lima bean requires rich,
moist soil, but does not seem to de-
prive the land of it's productiveness.
Lima beans have been grown on the
same fields in California for many
years.
Cucumbers, squashes and melons
require very rich soil, and the Gu
cumber profits by the application of
fresh horse manure. Sheep manure
will hurry plants along more rapidly
than most chemical fertilizers.
The specialists believe that if the
general principles they have out
lined are followed, it will be pro-
fitable for almost anyone to plant
his idle acres this season. They
point out that even where the none
tary value of the crop raised in the
backyard garden is not important
the gardener and his family must
credit to the patch the health and
enjoyment they gain from this out
door occupation. They point out
that from she community point Of
view it is the duty of every home
owner to keep his place orderly and
attractive The most profitable way
of getting ride of a patch of weeds in
The back yard is to cultivate it and
plant it to some valuable crop, the
orderly character of which will add
much to the comeliness Of the home
grounds.
Gardening is an old, old story. 1t
is related that nearly 20 centuries
ago Pliny the Elder summed it up
in sentence of just six words:
Dig deep; manure we'll; work Of

was heard for blocks around. Then

Buys 1000, 900 Pairs at $4,000, 900

Contracts for 100000 additional pairs
of shoes for the new army have been
awarded at an average price of $475
pair. With these contracts the gov
eminent has ordered 3.360.000 pairs
Of shoes for the army and $4,000 pairs
for the navy. Their total cost will be
about $50. 100000.
Julius Rosenwald. chairman of the
committee on supplies of the council

the government had saved $1,000 900 on
the transaction. The average price is
much below the market.
Long before we asked for bids on
the shoes" said Mr.. Rosenwald. I'VE
arranged for the leather at a price
less than the present price. Had the
shoe bidders been compelled to attempt
to obtain their raw material In an
open market after getting their con-
tracts IL would have caused rise in

tage alike to the market and to the
government in doing away with the
system of advertising where a large

CHARITIES IN SCHOOLS
DISCUSSED BY BOARD
Request by Alley Improvement As
ISOLATION Is Referred to Supt.
Thurston for Report.

Policies regarding the public schools
and charities were discussed at a meet
| ing of the board of education at the
Franklin School yesterday afternoon.
The discussion was the result OF a
request received from the Alley i'm
provement Association that the schools
cooperate in keeping open the nursery
| at 1135 New Jersey avenue, which, 1t
| was stated, is badly in need of support,
it's contributions having been less this
year because of the war.
I After considerable discussion, in
which it was asserted by Ernest H.
Daniel, vice president of the board of
| education. and Ernest l.. Thurston,
superintendent of schools, that to allow
this charity work to be done would
place the board in the position of
Opening the doors in the future to all
charitable work, or would force 1t to
| Judge which were good and which were
undeserving charities. the matter was
referred to Supt. Thurston for report.
| A number of members of the board ex-
pressed themselves as being DESTROYS
Of helping the association. but the
question of policy was one which had
| to be guarded. it was explained.
Mrs. Margarita Spalding Gerry as
serted that through the helping Of
charities which have suffered because
of the war many organizations which
are now seeking ways in which to help
in the war situation might assist by
aiding the charities.
Communication from E. c. Totten
was read complaining that through the
roping off of streets and using them as
Fairgrounds children were given the
times. Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes said
that it had been found by experiment
in other cities that this was true. The
matter was referred to Supt. Thurston.
