Gordon's Defense Of khartum.

For sheer duration General Gordon's
heroic defense of Khartum excelled all
modern sieges. for 1t lasted 317 days,
or just nine days shorter than the Rus
sian retention of Sebastopol. Unfor-
tunately, as we all know, its termina-
ton was tragedy, embittered by the
fact that very few days later the
would-be army of relief arrived. only
In time to pick up the threads Of a
pitiful disaster.

Peace or an armistice will not end
our food obligations to Europe. One

eat.
Whatever the developments in Eu-

other crop until the fall of 1919 and
must in the meantime be fed.

| This advertisement is written on
Monday, October 21st. IT is directed to
the attention of all distributors of
Vjck's vapoRub, both wholesale and
| retail. In an emergency such as the
present epiden.ic-our duty-and your
duty-is to distribute VapoRub in the
| quickest possible manner to those sec
lions stricken by Influenza. We. there
fore, call your careful attention 10 the
following:
DANCER OF SHORTAGE IF SUP
PLY is NOT CONSERVED
On October LIST we had on hantl. at
our Factory and in twenty warehouses
scattered over the country. sufficient
'apoRub to last us, we thought, until
Rnuary LIST, allowing for so per cent
icrease over last years sales, and not
punting our daily output. This big
xcess stock had been accumulated
during the summer months.
Then this epidemic of Spanish In
f1uenza hit us-and in the last ten days
this stock has vanished. At first we
thought this tremendous demand
would last only a few days, but the
orders have run:
Wed, Oct. Is. -. 1854 doz.
Thur, Oct. H.. .25. 1923 doz.
Fri, Oct, IS. 49,. 1926 doz.
Sat-, Oct. 10. 49,. As, 1873 doz.
Mon. Oct. 81. ,705 doz.
Up to Saturday, October 10Th, we
have actually shipped for this month
$400, 2S410, or over two million jars
OF VapoRub.
THE PROBLEM NOW is TO DIS
TRIBUTE vAPoRUB QUICKLY.
Most of this tremendous quantity is
still en- route to the jobbers, but
freight and express are both con-
gested nowadays, and it may be some
time before this supply reaches the
'obbers. In the meantime, therefore,
is necessary that we distribute, as
videly as possible, the stock that we |
re manufacturing daily, together with |
hat now on the jobbers' and retailers |
Jhelves, in order that 1t may get to |
the Influenza districts quickly. Our |
normal output is about 1000 dozen
per day. We are putting on night
shift, but 1t will be little while be-
fore that is producing.

Francis Wilburn Carpenter, one
of the most popular of child screen
actors was born in Glenwood
Springs, Colo. July 9. 1911. His
earliest ambition was to be a po-
liceman. after which he decided
that the life Of the cowpuncher
was just the thing. Since he has
taken to acting. however. he has
discovered that William Farnum is
the summum bOnum, the dolce far
niente and all those other foreign
phrases. II Francis could be as
great a scout as William Farnum
he'd be happy for life.
Francis's education was begun
at the Fine Arts school for child
actors in Hollywood. After he had
been there two weeks he changed
his acting address to the Fox stu
dio and took his slate along with
him. At the Fox school he has
learned to read. and he can print
out his first name completely, al.
though occasionally he makes the
F backward; incidentally, he also
makes the N backward. That
doesn't make much difference.
