In 'sThe Zeppelin's Last Raid" the spectacular is in evidence in every reel, in every scene. It is production that will take rank with the best along smoothness that is seldom apparent in screen productions. The story is that of the unfortunates who have met the fate decreed by the destructive air monster, known as the Zeppelin Sell dom has the screen witnessed an ex- hbition wherein action has taken such prominence. There Is action with ev- cry flash. moving wi,n the swiftness and regularity of rapid-firing gun.

 The Zeppeln's Last Raid will not disappont. It is not ordinary, but on the contrary, marvellous Some of the tricks of the trade which have been evidenced by the camera man in the production of this picture are beyond the comprehension of the one who is not conversant with the secrets of artificiality in screen reproduction. The actual happenings could not have Lar.

J.. S. TAKES OVER
EXPRESS BUSINESS
Necessity Compels Public Control
OF Another Great National
Utility.

One Of the biggest moves toward
the democratic operation Of public
utilities that has come since the ma
ton took over the railroads was con-
summated recently when the govern
ment assumed operation of the four
principal express companies of the
United States.
The capital of the new government
controlled company is to be $50, 000,-
900, which evidently covers only the
value of the assets needed in the con-
duct Of business. Thus a great
amount of watered stock has been
squeezed out.
The government, as operator of the
railroads, is to receive 50A per cent
of the gross earning from the express
business, and OF the profits remaining
from the ether 49A per cent, after
expenses are paid, the company is to
pay 5 per cent on the stock and any
profit beyond that is to be divided
with the government. This is prob
ably the first big consolidation on rec
ord in which: watered stock was
squeezed out. The general practice is
to put a large amount Of water in to
absorb the estimated savings of con.
solidation.
Public Ownership Spreading.
The latest move of the government
in assuming control Of the express
business illustrates how public opera,
ton in one field inevitably leads tc
public operation in related utilities
Several years ago the parcel post sys

Making Excuses.

He is only bum. He has been a
member Of the down-and-out club fol-
years. He began by making excuses.
And he is making excuses still for his
parasitism on society. II the world
had given him a chance as 1t has given
other men. he declares, he would have
accomplished things. But the world
has never given him a chance, and he
sees no prospect now for a future of
any consequence. This excuse he of.
fers, despite the fact that the country
is calling for men and women as never
before in its history.
Few men appreciate the harm that
comes to their careers from making
excuses. They are wont to attribute
their failure to hard luck. Luck at
times breaks against men and their
undertakings. But If those who have
failed will look back honestly into
their careers, they will. see that they
themselves are to blame for their fail
ures. The excuses they offer are mere
salves to their own egotism and lack
of perseverance.

Helena.-The state board of hail in
surance has completed all of its pre-
liminary work for the beginning of
business in 1918. Last year the board
carried hail insurance for about $500
farmers. the amount of acreage insur-
ed in grain being 265,574 acres, and in
hay 2,79O acres. The board paid in
losses total of $4,000 and it wound

on hand of approximately $4,000. The
expenses of operation were s4,70O, in
Guiding all supplies and office equip

Judging from the correspondence
which has come to the board since the

taking hail insurance through the
state this year will reach more than
5000.

"The rule that calls for substitutes
is rule that must have no excep-

who refuse TO comply with the rule on
substitutes are either careless or dis
loyal. There are no extenuating cir
cumstances that will permit a dealer
to violate the federal order.

not get any more stringent than they
are at present If the rules are not
needed there are going to be some
