IMAM WITHOUT A COUNTR Y' STIRS
 PATRIOTISM
Patriotic Director Has His
 Troubles

The only trouble with a picture like
 The Man Without a Country is that it
 makes your actors too patriotic, if such
 a statement can be made, said Pa triotic Director Ernest c. Warde who
 produced the timely feature, "The Man
 Without Country" which Jewel Pro-
 ductions, Inc, brings to the Alcazar all
 this week.
 , It was necessary at times to work ! nights and Sundays to get through with certain characters who had determined 8to be real heroes. I applaud their pa. *triotism, but I wished then they had waited to enlist until the picture was completed" said MT. Warde
 Tor example, there's George Mario In the photoplay he is a patriotic young American. In real life he's the same George is a wonderful auto driver and he goes to France in a few days to drive an army machine. Perry Horton is a gallant naval officer in the picture. He's up at Madison Barracks, Sacketts har- DOT, now with the Second New York Field artillery. Joe Aiken was a soldiet I In the courtmartial scene. He's a ser seant i'll the regular army, and has a A good chance for commission. Hope 4 he lands it.
 \ Another member of the company is *Harry Young. He's an Englishman. He played a patriotic scene at the studio, \ then made a bee line for New York, and tried to enlist i'll the British forces. It Nalmcst broke his heart when he was re- { jected on physical grounds.
 k linen there's Otto Berg. On the screen
 N1e is seen as a naval officer After his
 Kirst scene was taken he went to an
 Arny recruiting station and was re-
 kected. He came back, acted another
 May, went to the marine outfit, and then
 10 the naval recruiting station, but Nfailed to get in. The day the draft num-, Ebers were drawn he was as happy as kchild. I asked for an explanation, and #he smilingly said: X My number is one of the early ones, MMaybe I'll get in the national army N Tom Tilden left in a hurry to go to This old home in Chicago, and joined the national guard Walter Percy is in the %Pennsylvania militia, and Charles Jer.

"The Man Without a Country" is founded upon Edward Everett IIales story, "The Man Without a Country"
 written in 1863, and intended, as the au- thor said, to be "a contribution, how ever humble, toward the formation of a just and true national sentiment of love to the nation.' The universal appeal of this classic is shown by the fact that the lesson intended in the story mas been in use in other times, under other circumstances than those which

DISCUSSED LIGHT PLANTS

At a recessed meeting of the city
council last Friday evening the quss
tion Of the combination of the two elec
trio light plants in Glenwood and the
ownership of the merged plant by the
city was discussed.
; Mr.. Bell and C. H. King, for the
Mutual Light plant admitted that their
property had been losing venture
from the first and said they did not
intend to allow the Indebtedness to ac.
cumulate much longer and would there.
fore sell to the town or some other
corporation. Mr.. Bell admitted that
negotiations were on with the Glenwood
Light and Water company, but that
his company was looking for the best
bargain possible. He thought if the
city would buy the Mutual they could
soon acquire the other plant and then
they would have splendid investment
which could be paid for in a reasonable
time out of the profits.
Alderman Cross was very enthusias
tic over the proposition and urged the
purchase of the Mutual plant, saying
it would not be long after the purchase
was made until the Glenwood plan,
would be forced out of business, as the
people would be liberal patrons Of
their own plant. Mayor Kirwan re-
minded the alderman that he had heard
some such talk as that at the time the
Mutual was brought into existence, the
people being advised at that time that
it was their plant, created especial!
for their benefit, and yet the peopl,
did not seem to appreciate the sug
gestion to. the extent Of rallying te
the support of their plant. Mr.. Gross
thought. it would be different now, ant
other aldermen admitted that if tbs
Mutual were owned by the city il
would enjoy much greater patronag,
than at present.
However, they are not certain Of
their rights and powers in the premises
not knowing that the Glenwood plan
was for sale or at what price, and IL
view Of the fact that only four of thu
six aldermen were present, the even
ing was spent in discussion Of the sub
ject and NO action was taken.

FIRST CAR OF sHAI.E
FOR COMMERCE

On last Tuesday, a car of oil shale
was shipped from this point to the Dc
troit Testing Laboratory Consulting
Chemists and Engineers. The consign,
ment, which was broken from a ledge
on the east fork of Parachute creek,
immediately above the town of Grand
Valley is the first of this product to
be sent out for strictly commercial pur-
pose. Colonel w. P. Putnam, president
of the above institution, stated that
"grab san nples' of the shipment, re-
veals tests which show that the carload
will give a net result of little better
than 1,OOo gallons. The shale will be
treated through the John Dunlap Scott
process, which has proven so highly sat.
isfactory in making careful tests of the
Grand Valley shale in the past. Col
onel Putnam, who is one of the best
known chemists in the country, is verv
enthusiastic over the future of the oil
shale product of the western slope and,
is not slow in predicting that in a short
space OF time, the oil-shale will be
listed as the leader in the commercial
productions of the world. While there
have been a considerable number of
shipments of the shale product in the
past, they were for testing purposes
only, but the ear load which went out
this week was the initiative shipment
to be launched on the tide of commerce.
And the record of this shipment and its
results, will be preserved in the arch
ives Of the Smithsonian Institute at
Washington, d. C. along with other his
torical documents for future reference.

BICYCLES COLLIDE

While riding down Blake avenue
with Harold Broughton sitting on the

severe head-on collision with Kenneth
Collins, who was riding rapidly down
10th street.
The two wheels struck squarely in
front throwing the Collins boy far
to one side while Harold Broughton
was shot forward over the entire mix
up. His nose and lip were skinned as
cleanly as though done with knife.
Kenneth has a lame knee and elbow,
but seems to be uninjured otherwise,
although he was unconscious for several
minutes after the fall Clair escaped
unhurt, while both bicycles came out

WILL DISCONTINUE
MARBLE TRAIN SERVICE

Denver, Sept. 25.-The Crysta! Rivel
San Juan Railway company has filet
with the state public utilities commits
sion a petition for permission to dis
continue train service over its line
Hearing upon the petition will be hello
by the commission in Denver, Thurs
| day, October 4, at 10 a. m.
The Crystal River & San Juan oper
ates from Placita, in Pitkin county, tc
Marble, in Gunnison county, distance
OF IA miles. At Placita it connects
with the Crystal River railroad, which
in turn connects with the Glenwood
springs-Aspen branch of the Denver
Roa Grande at Carbondale. The Crys.
tai River & San Juan was built origin.
ally to serve the Colorado Yule Marble
company, with quarries at Marble. The
marble company, which owned the rail
road, went into the hands of receivers
in July 1916 but was operated by the
receivers until May, 1917, when the
quarries closed down.
In support of its application to dis
continue operation of train service, tho
Crystal River & San Juan Railway
company states that its operating ex-
penses amount to 1000 month, while
its, gross revenues are only 5000 month.
ly; that The Colorado Fuel & Iron
company, which owns the Crystal River
railroad company, has been advancing
its operating costs since last May, but
after October l will cease furnishing
such funds. The petitioner also states
that, since the quarries at Marble
closed down, the population of the town
of Marble has decreased from 1000 to
100.
For these reasons the railway COM
pany is asking permiss:o on to discon-
tinue operations until such time as it
may be able to operate and pay oper-
ating expenses. The petitioner declare.
that its officers are advised "that
there is a strong possibility that soon
after the first of January, 1918, = re-
organization Of the Colorado Yule Mar.
BILE company by its security holders
may be completed, and its operations
