HEARTS OF WORLD
GREATEST PICTURE

Apparently motion picture pro-
ducers who deal only with gigantic
undertakings. such as "The Birth of
a Nation" Intolerance" "Cabiria,"
Hearts of the World" and similar
unusual features, have temperaments
and souls. The report comes from
the studios of David Wark Griffith at
Los Angeles that this producer, work
ing over the arrangement of his great
est triumph. Hearts of the World"
which will be shown at the American
theatre Thursday, September 10. spent
sleepless nights and seemingly un-
ending days of mental torture over the
necessary cutting of his precious film.
When it is known that Mr.. Griffith
actually "shot" more than 10000 feet
of film, the sacrifices he made to get
his production down to an evenings
entertainment, requiring but $4,000
feet, may be appreciably imagined
Perhaps Mr.. Griffith's experience may
be best understood in HIS own terms:
When ! returned to America last
November | brought with me enough
film to reach a distance of twenty-five
miles. Considerably more than 100,-
600 feet were secured during the
eighteen months that our company
was abroad. The labor entailed in Sc
curing this precious material was the
hardest | have ever known, and taxed
the strength and endurance of every
player in the cast almost to the break
ing point While the actual work it
self would have been considered of
the most strenuous character executed
in a regular motion picture studio,
when it is considered that the players
appearing in Hearts of the World
suffered additional handicaps by rea-
son of the war-stricken country in
which we labored, and the fact that
we were many times under actual
bombardment, seeking refuge in cell
lars and dugouts, the tremendous
strain of the work may be better ap-
preeiated here at home"

BUSBY'S MINSTRELS TO PUT
ON SHOW HERE TONIGHT

Speaking of Busby's Minstrels,
who will appear under their big tent
in this city tonight, the LaCross Re
publican says:
THE Busby's Minstrels, under the
management of J. NJ. Busby. were here
last night and their fine large tent
was crowded with people who en-
joyed the entertainment. They have
a good band and give a clean show
Mr.. Busby is a gentlemanly fellow
and his performers are colored people
who behave well out of the tent and
their acting in the tent is all that is
claimed for it. 1t is worth the money
if you enjoy laughing. and who does
not? This minstrel company will get
a large attendance when they return
for another engagement"

new RESTRICTIONS
FOR NEWSPAPERS

Besides the recent orders requiring
that newspapers shall not exchange
subscriptions between themselves, and
that there shall be no free subscrip-
ton lists, and also that all subscribers
must pay in advance after October 1,
additional orders affecting the pub
fishing of newspapers have been an
nounced by the war industries board,
to bring about a further saving of
print paper.
The board rules that publishers
shall not use premiums, contests or
similar means to stimulate circula-
ton, that no holiday or special issues
shall be published and that papers
shall not be sold at retail for less than
the published price.
Legitimate methods of stimulating
circulation are held to be billboard
and deadwall poster advertising, buy
ing space in contemporary papers, an
nouncing special features, making an
nouncements in Sunday or daily edi-
tios of special features to come, and
canvassing without premiums.
On the same day that the foregoing
regulations were issued in Washing
ton, Representative Walsh of Massa-
chusetts, while discussing the war
revenue bill, charged the government
with serious waste of print paper
Citing orders to publishers to curtail
publications and the numerous gov
ernment publications and press
agents, Mr. Walsh added:
THE newspapers of America are
patriotic and they ought not to be
made victims, while wastefulness and
extravaganza are given free hand in
governmental boards and departments.
Taxpayers ought not to be levied
upon in war time to pay for ink, pa
per, brains and services of would-be
Horace Greeleys and Jack Londons,
TO splatter ideas about items which, if
real news, usually are published in
the daily press.
Taxing childrens toys and candy,
as well as women's hats and stock
ings." he said, "in order to maintain
some of these requirements is inde-
fensible."

REGISTERED MEN
DRILL FIRST Time

Last night most of the registered
men in Winnemucca gathered in the
Nixon opera house for the purpose of
organizing for military drill 1t is
estimated that about 200 men were in
attendance.
J. G.. Moore, in his capacity as chair
man of the board of instruction, ad-
dressed the assemblage informally and
explained the purpose of the meeting.
He stated, among other things. that
the board had been misinformed as TO
their authority, that ii is not compui-
sorry for registered men to attend the
lectures or drills, and that the board
has no authority over any except class
one men. But he urged that every
man of draft age make it point TO
attend drill-for only three hours
each week, from to pm. on Mon
days, Wednesdays and Fridays. If for
no other reason, he urged, than to ac-
company men to the depot when they
leave to enter training camps. every
man in Winnemucca should, as a mat
ter of patriotic duty and respect, at
tend drill and the lectures.
Mr.. Moore's talk was met with great
applause, thereby proving conclusively
that the manhood of Winnemucca is
not "stone-hearted" and that they are
with the government TO the limit
After Mr.. Moore's talk a hat filed
with numbers one and two was passed
among the to-be soldiers and as each
man drew a number he took his place
in the company designated by that
number-company one or company
two After the two companies had
been formed the drillmasters, Prof.
j. ID. Scott and A. Y. Blume, drew
numbers to see which company they
should captain. Prof Scott drew
company number one and Mr.. Blume
number two.
Then came the work of organiza-
tion. Company No. l marched into
the street in front of the Nixon for
this purpose, while Company No. re-
mained in the opera house. The men
were first lined up according to height
and then divided into squads of eight,
each squad under an instructing SER
geant, who taught them the first rudi-
ments of military drill. After this
had been done the soldiers were dis
missed for the evening.
1t was during the sizing up and
division of squads that several anus
ing incidents occurred. One of them
was when several women, standing on
the sidewalk, asked the marine corps
recruiting officer. Sergeant w. f. Bel
way, what they" were doing. The
sergeant explained that they were
Sizing up the squads" One of the
girls misunderstood what he had said
and the following conversation was
overheard. with one of the other girls
answering the question;
What did he say"
HE said they are sizing up the
squads"
But, joking aside, there was one
good suggestion overheard and that
was. in words TO the same eeffct:
"They ask us to be patriotic and to
drill, and to march TO the depot with
the men who are drafted What's the
matter with those musicians in Win
nemucca, and there are plenty OF
them. forming a band to assist in the
displays of patriotism they want to
occur here? Seems to me that would
be the most patriotic thing all these
musicians could do?"

NO FURTHER NEWS
OF VERNE ROBINS

#. G. Robins, well known resident
of this city, received the following
telegram from Washington late Satur-
day afternoon:
Regret to inform you that cable
gram from abroad advises that Ser
geant Howard V. Robins, marine
corps. was severely wounded in ac-
ton June 30. No further particulars
are available. Official eablegram can
not be sent asking about his condition,
but you will be notified should further
details be received.
GEO. BARNETT,
Major General, Commandant." "
Just why the notification to Mr..
Robins has been delayed so long, the
young man having been wounded June
80, or what his present condition is,
where he is or any other details have
not yet been learned. Mr. Robins has
received no further word since receiv-
ing the above telegram. One of the
plausible theories is that the young
man was wounded in action and cap
tured by the Germans, that account
ing for the lack of details and delay
Another dispatch received here Sat
urday brought the news that Archie
Howell was severely wounded in ac-
ton on July 10. He is also with the
L. S. marine in France. His father il
an inmate in the county hospital here.
