GREAT coLoREp AUTHOR FEA.
TURED.
Loyal Hearts, s~uper-Speelal Drama
Scores Tremendous Eastern
Success.

Sidney P. Bones, author of several
novels of racial interest, is featured
in the leading part Of his own play,
Loyal Hearts," which has taken the
Eastern cities by storm. 1t has been
pronounced to be one of the finest
and biggest colored photo-dramas
ever screened by an all-star Colored
company. In Chicago and New York,
thousands of patrons were turned
away daily from the doors of the
great theatres which played Loyal
Hearts"
Mr.. Bones qualified himself for the
part he is taking by several years of
study under Captain Leslie T. Pea
cooke, author of the s~uper-produc-
lions "Neptunes Daughter" which
starred Annette Kellerman, The Pas
sion Flower" Hearts in Exile" "The
Woman Who Dared" LAS Ye Sow"
and many other famous Universal
Successes.
Captain Peacocke's interest in the
future of Colored p~hoto-drama means
a decided advance in the standard Of
such productions. The producers OF
pictures featuring Colored casts have
been suffering from a failure to Sc
cure the proper assistance from the
experienced directors and scenerio
writer's. Not only has Loyal
Hearts secured an experienced direc
tor but it has, and it is the only Col
ored company that has, secured a di
rector in Capt. Peacocke, who is
leader and star in the making and
direction of p%hoto-drama. This marks
a new era for better films featuring
our own actors.

Great Double Shows Are
Impatiently Awaited.

The worlds two most famous Gil

1t would seem as though every
body in this locality were planning to
attend. The very name of the great
new circus Ringing Brothers and
Barnum & Bailey Combined-has
been sufficient to arouse far more
interest than has ever been shown in
the coming of any amusement enter
prise. And word from the Ringing
Brothers, who are the directors of
this gigantic circus, is to the effect
that those who attend the pei form
ances will witness the greatest pro-
gram ever presented in America.
This is likewise true of the mann

connected with this biggest of all

To Renew Lands Fertility.

In the San Luis valley of Colorado
there is an area from 100000 to $780,
600 acres which has almost completely
been deprived of fertility in SEEM
ingly mysterious manner. This condi-
ton has been investigated by DIR. w. P.
Headden Of the Colorado agricultural
experiment station, and he attributes
this condition to the so-called "black
alkali," composed largely of sodium
carbonate. This carbonate is carried
In the waters Of the valley, including
the rivers and the artesian wells, and
the practice of subirrigation has
brought 1t to the surface by capillarity
and evaporation. Doctor Headden
suggests that the remedy lies in
conversion of the carbonates into sui
pilates by the use of liberal amount
of gypsum to one pound of black al
kali-and downward washing by means
of surface irrigation with burrows or
by flooding.

American ex-sOldiers men de.
manding a bonus would do well to
initiate the tatics of British and New
Zealand men who, in pressing de-
mands for better compensation for
war service, are showing where the
money for the purpose should come
from. In England the National
Union of Ex-Service Men is asking
the difference between the pittance
actually received and six shillings a
day for each day of service. Further
more it declares:
s.No refusal of this claim can be
tolerated so long as the people OF
Britain remain dispossessed of the
land which is their natural inherit
ance, and which, if restored to them,
would enable the cost of its defence
to be paid in full.
In New Zealand a deputation OF
ex-soldiers called upon the Premier,
and in presenting their demands,
made the point that:
1.-THE returned soldiers. being
eight per cent of the population,
should receive eight per cent of one
hundred and fifty million pounds
which had been added to Dominion
values as the result of winning the
war"
Both British and New Zealand sol
diers are wise as well as patriotic in
demanding a just settlement of the
land question as a means of satisfy
ing their request. That gives to
every man dependent on his own
labor for a living an even greater in
terest than the soldiers themselves in
seeing that they get what they ask.
A heavy tax on land values, aside
from improvement values, would be
no burden on industry. 1t would,
however, force unused land into the
market, and so open to labor num-
berless opportunities now withheld
That would remove the basic cause
of the high cost of living, and do
away with the menace of coming
industrial depression. If the agita.
tion for bonus should lead to such
a result, the people of every country
affected can we'll afford to pay the
soldiers much more than they ash.
