MIR. PARKES REPLIES
 ID ANNE JORDAN Manager of Jefferson Ex- plans Single Booking of
 "The Rainbow GirP'

The Age-Herald is in receipt of a com munication from A. Brown ParlSes as sistant manager of the Jefferson theatre. offering an explanation in answer to q criticism of tie theatre for not having secured a booking of more than one per formance of The Rainbow Girl" the 1<law C Erlanger musical comedy pro duction which is to appear at~the Jeffer- son next Thursday night only.
 The communication is as follows: Miss Anne Jordan, Editor Theatrical
 Page, Age-Heraid.
 q feel that in the interest of the theatregoing public, l ought to reply ts your mild criticism in Thursdays issue regarding the. forthcoming appearance here of The Rainbow Girl, which Klaw & Erianger are sending here for one per formance at the Jefferson next Thursdar night
 You say considering the stampede that will await this production it seems almost an oversight on the part of the Jefferson theatre for booking this production CT original Broadway beauties for only cns performance It is so seldom that any thing this nice happens to Birmingham that the theatreeoing public will each and every one want to take advantage of this opportunity to sec a play that is brand new without having to go to New York to see it.
 pT thank you for the compliment, but can't refrain from reminding you that this play was not booked just for single performance merely because Birminsha.n was regarded as a one night stand Those eays are gone. Most big attractions demand three performances in Birning- haw, and The Rainbow Girl company wanted such a booking, having week to spare between its Philadelphia and Cni- cago engagements. However, another three performance booking had been

just as interesting and thrilling al the book
 Extensive travelling, wide newspa- per experience and the faculty of keenly observing life, made the late Richard Harding Davis one of the lead- ing figures in American literature. One of his best known novels, Soldiers of Fortune,' has been selected by Allan Dwan for the latter's first feature pro- duction as an independent producer
 MT. Davis was born in Philadelphia April IS, 1864. and educated at Lehigh and Johns Hopkins universities. He began his career IS a correspondent for New York newspapers, and in 1888 joined the New York Sun, to which he contributed his early fiction. He was managing editor of Harper's Weekly for number of years.
 Some of his best known books were Three Gringoes in Central America, ''The West From Car Window" "Our English Cousins" Cuba in Wartime - '-The Rulers of the Mediterranean" and a work on the Boer war. He died April Il, 1916.
 Mir Davis descriptive abilities made possible the popular success of his book, and Director Dwan's keen per ception made the translation of the novel to the screen an assured triumph. The story lends itself particularly to the art of photoplay. Full of colorful situations, virile action and artistic at mosphere. the Davis theme supplies MT. Dwan with materials that make this production one of the best viewed on local screens this year.

One Of the finest films that has ever
been shown in this or any other city
was that shown at the Grand Theater
last night by Manager Piller The
Miracle Man" It was one OF the
greatest sermons that could have been
presented to the people and we doubt
very much if any minister OF the Cos
pel no matter how eloquent or how
pious he. might be. could preach a
better sermon of faith than that pre-
serted in this remarkable picture last
night. It was truely wonderful eK-
hibition Of faith and if people who
really have religious faith were as sin
cere as the grand old patirach in that
picture last night and those sufferers
of disease who trusted in him blindly.
then indeed would this be a wonderful
old world to live in. Mr.. Piller did
not have the crowd that he should
have had which is usually the way
when really high-class meditorious
picture represented here: He deserves
better patronage for this wonderful
picture. It will be shown again to-
night but Mr.. Piller tells the Times
Record that on Wednesday he will
not show this film bat will have an en-
tirely new picture.

rather proud Of his decorations.

If we can kill off Townleyism and

While J. A. Body, w. B. Woodward
and the writer were en- route to Cas-

down and we started to hoof it to
Wheatland to get another car to carry
on. But shortly we saw a nice big
Buick rolling up behind us with four
good sized men in it and the owner
stopped the" car, invited the three Of
US into it and queried as to our jour-
ney. We told him we were en- route
to Casselton to help defeat Townley
and he said he would carry us there as
he was bound for Fargo. Thus the
car carried seven real heavy men, and
the owner of the car was none other
than p. r. Trubshaw, editor Of the
Times-Record Of Valley City. Percy

his list in Messrs. Boldly and Wood

always been strong for Percy and now
we would even vote for him for pres

he be elected New Jersey would be de-
feated in its attempts. But it was a
good road samaritan stunt of Mr.
Trubshaw to pull and helped the cause
in this state, and we sincerely trust
that his good turn will some day be
rewarded manifold.

may be alright, but causes one to in
quire as to what we are paying our
own county attorney and the attorney

state that issued bonds must pay this
fee. The farmers had to have the seed

Minneapolis attorney was sent to New

nerman's car was stolen from in front
of the Methodist church Sunday night
while the doctor was attending Sun
day evening service. The car was
found Monday abandoned in the north
west portion of the town. We presume
it was taken by some joy riders who
after having used the car as long as
they wanted it took this way of get
ting rid of it. If the guilty parties
can be found we suggest that the doc
tor prosecute them. Such happenings
should not be tolerated. If. DR.. Tim

having been taken might have been
serious thing. There is nothing

MIRACLE MOTOR-GAS SOLVES
GASOLINE PROBLEM

With the present cost of gasoline
making serious inroads on the average
motorists pocketbook, the field for
good gasoline saver is almost unlimlt-
ed, and motorists have been looking
around to find some harmless chemical
that will cut down their fuel bills, give
their motor more power and insure
smooth running by cleaning the cylln-
ders of carbon. -
Miracle Motor Gas, sold in this COM
munity by Chas. J. johnson, located
at Valley City, S. D., has solved the
problem.
Mr.. Johnson states that the chemical
constitution of Miracle Motor-Gas is
absolutely harmless, and this ssseh-
ton is backed by the experiment OF
well-known chemists and auto experts.
They offer in Miracle Motor-Gas an
auxiliary product that will replace
what the low gravity gasoline Of 81
degrees lacks to give the satisfactory
results that We got from rs degree
gasoline sold several years ago-be-
fore motoring became so general and
the price of fuel advanced. 1t contains
properties which act upon the molecu-
lar construction of the fuel, produc-
ing complete combustion-making ev-
cry drop produce power-utilizing
that heavy, inert oil that all low gray
ity gasoline contains, converting it in
to, power or driving it out through
the exhaust pipes, leaving no carbon
to accumulate.
Tests on various makes of cars in
every section of the country have
shown remarkable results from the
use of Miracle Motor-G Gas, the mileage
on cars per gallon increasing as high
as SO per cent, while the action Of
Miracle Motor Gas prevented carbon
from forming on the cylinders. Cars
under experiment showing easier hill
climbing ability, faster ignition and
greater all-around power.
