tended for DR.. w. A. Jones. Ben Hol-
ley, e. Danforth and Ell Burrell; the
letter from Rev. o. ]. Mcleod put the

responsible or the seeds; he also
states that George North knows who
received and divided the seeds up and
where the seeds are now. So we ask
Mr.. North II he will be kind enough
to tell us, II he will, to whom did he
give the seeds and how he happened
to give the seeds to them? We would
like to know because should we go to

INSIDE STORY OF THE
WAR IN GERARD FILM

When on October %, 1915 the Kaiser
shook his fist in the face Of Ambassa-
dor James w. Gerard and told him
that after the war was ended he
would stand no nonsense from the
United States he did not realize that
the patience of Americans would
soon reach the breaking point.
The whole series of incidents, the
plot and intrigue, the broken promis-
ses, the deliberate disregard of all
the rights of friendly nation in the
insane desire to rule the world is
clearly shown in the wonderfully
vivid motion picture reproduction of
Mr.. Gerard's book, 'My Four Years
in Germany"
Here you see unrolled before you
the whole page of history from the
Zabern incident to the gathering of
the American Army over there.
Every American should see this
picture so that he can better under
stand why America must stand unit
ed against this common foe.
The picture will be shown at the
Lyric Theatre on Friday and Satur-
day, this week
