The courthouse NaA packed, and
as he nufolded the crii41e epd atroci-
tiea q the German Beast feeling ran
intensely high. Mr.. Preston spoke
mostly In d CONVERSATIONAL tone, but
with power OF conviction.
He spoke OF D number Of incidents
OF German saVngery, from records
whicA have been authenticated, and
OF the tribute levied against the
helpless victims.
He told of the little child whose
hands and feet were nailed to barn
door and left to die. He told Of the
burning OF children In the presence
of frantic mothers and other things
as horrible.
Mr.. Preston Is financier and
dealt great deal in figures, with
which he is more familiar. In con-
nection with the cost of war Mr..
Preston said that this country has
already appropriated for the war an
amount equal to the cost of our Gov
ernment since the first year of Presi-
dent George washington's admins
trations but that the Government is
more able to bear the expense than

/. One very important point made in
the address, and one with which a
great majority of citizens were
not familiar even up to the present,
was the fact proven that Ger

INTOLERANCE" TONIGHT FOR LAST TIME AT THE COLISEUM

AT HE COLISEUM
 Tonight is the last performance of the $2,O0O,000 spectacle "Intol erance," the greatest of all of the Griffith productnions. When one thinks of the magnitude of this pro- duction, it barely seems possible that an industry as young in years as IS the Moving picture business could produce play of this calibre. There were one hundred and twenty-five thousand people used in the making of this picture; fifteen hundred char riots are seen in the Fall of Baby ion. The city of Babylon was re- produced in all it's original and or iental splendor to be used for lew scenes only and then destroyed. The city of Jerusalem was builded to only show few scenes of that Holy City in the times of Christ Cities and palaces of France in the time of Catherine de Medici, were constructed strictly in plan with the ideas advanced by historians as tc the architecture of those days. All in all Intolerance" gives to the public the greatest scenes and stories yet offered in the moving picture world.

SAYS OLD IDEA is WRONG
Manure Condemned by Writer
In Chemical News.

The old idea that the best way to
grow fine crops is to enrich the
ground with manure receives a ter
rible jolt from Sampson Morgan in
an article in Chemical News. He
holds that we are running the quality
of our wheat by feeding the soil with
unclean matter; that the latest ex-
periments show that powdered gran
lite rock and decaying leaves are the
only fertilizer that will produce the
hard wheat with its high content of
gluten.
Mr.. Morgan urged that all garb-
age and animal refuse be reduced to
ashes before being spread upon the
ground. "T'he soil has been fouled
with the filth of civilization" he
says. '"The importance of purifica-
ton by fire has been ignored too
long, at least by western nations.
The ashes from these fires are of I'M
told value to the cultivator of the
soil, and by ceasing to poison the
earth by sowing it with foul-smell-
ing plant foods and by letting in
the air and sun and Undertaking it
with the sweet refuse of these burn
ings and with granite dust, we
should soon increase the productive
powers of the earth hundredfold. !"

WANTED-A NEW PAINT OIL
Rising Cost Of LInseed Creates De-
mand for Substitute That Can
Take lts Place.

Fortunately we haven't so much
need for "ersatz" (substitute) in
this country as Germany has had
for years, even before the war made
the need greater, but our chemists
are becoming increasingly active in
the search for substitutes for GER
tain staples, observes Philadelphia
Record. Several have had try
at an "ersatS" for gasoline, but
nothing has come of it, and now the
house painters are crying for "some-
thing just as good" to take the place
of linseed oil.
This mucilaginous, quick-drying
product is the body and life of paint
and nothing has yet been found to
take it's place. No one has con-
cerned himself much about it, be-
cause linseed oil, once obtainable for
as little ss 25 cents a gallon, could
be had for so cents as short time
ago as the spring of last year. But
now it brings $1.S5 in carload lots,
and those who know predict it will
command $3.50 per gallon very
soon. 1t is explained that Argen-
tina, the chief producer of the oil,
formerly found ready market in
Germany for the residuum, or oil
cake, used there as cattle food; and
now, because American farmers can
not be educated to use it, the oil
itself is compelled to carry this extra
burden to the consumer.
