The Law of the North" which

the far northwest. stars Charles Ray
at the Iasalle today. The story gets
entirely away from the "rube" char
acters he has so often played in the
past and shows him as a spirited
young trapper. There are manv
thrilling scenes including the heroic
rescue Of a young girl, the fight OF
band of wolves and many inter
esting adventures of the wild woods.
Ray has a character that compels
admiration and is ably assisted by
pretty Doris Lee and a competent
cast. The snow effects are superb

TOP SERGEANT REAL BOSS.

Detroit News: The first sergeant al
ways has been one Of the most import
ant men in the United States army,
and he is getting Yore important all
+, the time. The increase of the infan-
try company to $50 men has multiplied
his labors and his tribulations.
The first sergeant Is the buffer be-
tween the enlisted men and the COM
pany officers. He is himself an en-
listed man, but often appropriates an
autocratic authority that even the cap
tain would hesitate to assert. He Is
guilds, philosopher and friend to every
one in the company. Practically
everything Of military nature that
originates in the organization must
pass through his hands. and in many
matters his is the Anal SAY"
The soldiers go to the first sergeant,
not as enlisted men to an officer, but
as man to man. They always have
the privilege Of taking up important
matters with the company commander
or one Of the other officers. but when
the first sergeant is competent man
this privilege Is not exercised very
often.
A good first sergeant nearly always
means a good company, and a poor
one the reverse. This, as general
proposition, holds true regardless Of
the merits of the company commander.
For instance, a good captain and a
bad first sergeant may result in bad
company, while a bad captain and a
good first sergeant may work the
other way.

Academic Men In Public Life.

Evening Post: While we are not
ing the ability of academic men like
Wilson, Milyukov, and Pafnleve to
enter public life conspicuously, we
must not forget that in Britain the
greatest public men are able to don
the garb of the academic specialist
with scholarly distinction. The
Romanes lecture on a scientific or
literary subject, not given this year
on account of the war, will be given
in 1918 by Mr. Asquith; and he is
the sixth statesman to occupy the
lecturship. Gladstone was the first,
in 1892: five years later John Nor
ley spoke upon "Machiavelli; in
1902 Bryce discussed '"The Relations
of the Advanced and Backward
Races of Mankind" in 1907 Lord
Curzon lectured upon Frontiers"
and In 1909 Balfour followed with his
CRITICISM of Beauty" Varied
achievement by one man in fields of
the intellect and of active affairs is
better known abroad than here, far
as 1t Is from being unknown here.
We need not turn to the great ma
lions, but can find examples of 1t in
Spain, or in little Norway, which has
tust sent us statesman and sc1en-
fist in Nansen. But the list OF five
living British statesmen invited to
deliver the Romanes lecture offers
an intellectual array that It would BIS
difficult to match In any other land.
A nation may be prouder Of finding
such scholarly minds among those
who have made a lifelong profession
of affairs than of occasionally finding
among its scholars one who is fitted
to turn to affairs with success.

COAL KEEPS
HUNS AWAY
One Shovelful Day VIII Help to
Keep German Hoards Back
by Helping All
Industries.

If one family saves single
shovelful of coal a day. this will
mean saving of over ton during
the heating season. If every family
in the state saves shovelful day,
1t will mean total saving In Iowa
of over 100000 tons and 100000 tons
means 10000 carloads of 200 train
loads of fifty cars each. Saving this
shovelful is only matter of using
a little care in firing the furnace.
This is the message being sent
out by the state fuel administrator
In a circular prepared for him by the
engineering extension department of
Iowa State college. At no time in
history has there ever been such a
need for conserving coal as fuel as
there is now, says the circular.

His Way Into Gas Works
Last Week.

man Went After Him-Other
Plants Have Visit
From Him.

| The mysterious man in black, who Is
said to be prying around keokuk FAC
tories, made his way into the gas plant
of the Keokuk Electric company the
other night, but was invited to leave
| by the night Waterman. The man is
still in the city, it is learned, and the
company has given its Waterman spe-
cal orders regarding him. The police
were notified Of his getting into the
gas company's plant, and the watch
man there has been instructed to keep
a sharp lookout If he comes again.
Some trouble was experienced the
following morning with the pumps af-
ter the mans VISIT, but this Is believed
to have been caused by a lowering OF
temperature rather than Of any tam
lpering Officials of the company We're
unable to find any place where the
man had done any tampertng. His
presence inside the plant however. Is
suspicious, since there is no admts-
sion to the works except by pass from
the downtown office. 1t was found that
the man climbed over the fence.
The man was reported to have been
seen around number of plants here
since his prowlings were related in
The Gate City few nights ago.
Watchmen at the various plants in the
city are being instructed to look out
for the man, although very meagre
description of him is all that they have
to go on in looking out for him. The
man Is described as of medium build,
and wears a black suit.
A number of local factories are max
ing war orders and for this reason
there is considerable apprehension as
to the motives Of the man who seems
to be intent on getting into factories
where the mo Admittance" sign is
