eood Attendance at Nelson.

From the sordid slums Of New
York's Chinatown to the grandeur of
high mountains and the majesty OF
the ocean-that is the range Of the
setting in 1.-THE Miracle Man" whiG<
Nelson is showing all week. The same
responsiveness of vision is reflected in
the absorbing story, written by Frank
L. Packard, later dramatized by
George M. Cohan, and produced with
striking success on Broadway.
The central figure is white haired
patriarch, who lives in the hills near
the sea and who has reputed power to
heal the sick and crippled. Tom Burke
and his band in their haunt in the New
York underworld read Of his miracles
and conceive the idea Of capitalizing
them for their own gain. So they go
to the town where the old man lives
and frame up a miracle for him, To
their surprise they discover that he
really possesses the healing powers
accredited to him.
Gradually under the beneficent in
fluence Of their new environment
there is, worked a transformation in
the hearts Of the crooks that makes
Rose, the gangster's beautiful decoy,
the charming girl she is at heart, that
evolves farm hand out Of dope
ffend, and finally, brings out the bet
Ter nature Of even the hardened, So
phisticated Tom Burke himself.

The commanding position OF tns
United States among the Woiid
powers, and the prominent place the
American nation is to maintain az
the exponent and champion OF human
rights. were foreseen and predicted
centuries before the beginning OF the
Christian Era. Such Is the BOOK OF
Mormon Record
The prophet Nephi was one OF the
original company, who, unoer the
leadership of his father Lehi, left
Jerusalem in the year 900 B. G., and
tourneyed to the Arabian shore,
thence yoyaging TO the American
continent in a vessel they had con-
str11cted az. centuries earlier, Moan
had built an ark under Divine guio-
ance. A few decades after the ARRIVAL
of the colony ON the promised
land" the people were dlVideo
through contention; and opposing
fa ctions developed known as Nephitea
and Lamanites. The Nephite nation
was destroyed about 400 A. D., and
the Lamanites exist today as the
American Indians.
In the early stages OF the exodus,
while the travellers were journeying
seaward through the deserts OF Ara
bia. the Lord revealed unto Nephi
that a part OF the posterity OF his
brethren would be snitten by the
righteous wrath of God; and 1t was
specifically shown that the nation
into which the little company was to
develop would be isolated beyond the
seaa from all other peoples. Thus
runs the account OF the revelation to
Nephi the prophet, the events being
chronicled in the past tense az
though already accomplished:
"And It came to pass that looked
and bcheld many waters; and they
divided the GentIes from the seed
Of my brethren. And II carne to pass
that the angel said unto me, Behold
the wrath of God Is upon the seeo
OF thy brethren. And looked anc
beheld a man among the Gentiles
who was separated from the seed Of
my brethren by the many waters;
and ! beheId the Spirit OF God, tha'
II came down and wrought upon the
man; and he went forth upon the
many waters, even unto the seed o.
nv brethren, who were in the prom
ised land" (Book Of Mormon,
Nephi 13:10-12)

or course, If anybody wants to buy
anything at any price to help man
who was In the army, there Is no OBJ
lection on the part Of anybody else.
But the plan is to give protection
to those people who want to help the
soldiers who really need help, while
not desiring to enrich the men who
are operating schemes making them
many dollars day.
The self-respecting soldiers are as
anxious as anybody that the petty
schemes worked in uniform or the
name Of the army be cut out now and
put on the same basis as the same
schemes were before the war, Yl0cn
they we're worked in civilian clothing.

RED CROSS ON
INSURANCE
Home Service Section Receives Warn.
ing of Loss by Allowing
Policies of Soldiers
to Lapse

That all soldiers ought to keep up
their insurance policies is the warn
ing sent out by the Red Cross and
received by the Keokuk home service
section for dissemination among the
discharged men.
1t Is said that too many Of them
are dropping their government in
surance since they were discharged
from the army.
The reason for holding the insur-
ance is because the government will
soon arrange means of transferring
1t for the fighters into an old line
