Flowing Gold" An
Epic Of Oil Fields

The history of oil possesses a pc
culiar fascination for many millions
of people. 1t grips their imagination
as did the celebrated rush for the
gold field Of Alaska Fortunes have
been made overnight by oil; in the
twinkling of an eye men and women
have been transformed from paupers
into multi-millionaires.. And the re-
port that oil he's been discovered in a
new section of the country is suffi-
cient to scrd a steady stream of adj
venturous souls into that district.
Such is the background of Flows
ing Gold" First National picture,
produced by Richard Walton Tully,
and directed by Joe DECREASE, which
IS coming to the Grand Theater, Mon
day and Tuesday
Rex Beach. its author, who is noted
for his tales Of Alaska, has trans
ierred his attention to the oil fields
of the country, seeing in the:n just as
much romance aid adventure as char
actcrized the hardy gold hunters of
the north. With such a locale as his
starting point, he has conceived a
story that is magnetic in its appeal to
the lovers of strong stories, and the
screen version has retained all of its
potent power, if not intensifying it.
Milton Sills has the leading role,
with Anna @. Nilsson playing oppo-
site him. Their parts were so dam
gerous, thanks to the author, that at
times they were in great peril of
serious injury or death. Others in
the cast are Alice Calhoun, Josephine
Crowell, Charles Sellon, Bert Wood
ruff, Cissy Fitzgerald and John

of these men served his country faithfully,
striving to do the right as it was given them to
see the right, and no man can deserve greater
honor than one who has courageously carried
on and given his best to his country This, both
Roosevelt and Wilson did.
The deeds of Roosevelt and Wilson will en-

is preserved. For they are among the few men
who need no memorials to keep their memoir

Eugene Field Remembered
The widow of Eugene Field has
kept until a recent date, his former
home intadt, with the hope that it
would be preserved as a permanent
memorial to him. The sale OF the
property has inspired a movement to,
at least, preserve personal mementoes
by the Chicago Historical Society.
This society will reproduce Fields

headstone will give place to marble
cloister with memorial window and
a slab that will be inscribed with por-
tions of some of his best loved poems.
This tomb will be known as the

The Santa Claus Hoax
Do children of seven years and up.
wards believe in Santa Claus or do
they too practice a little deception OF
assumed innocence, because it seems
to please the parents? Using Santa
Claus as a buffer too, makes out
spoken wishes much easier than ask
ing outright from the parents and
friends. Of all lies this is said to be
the whitest lie because of the motive
and the pleasing atmosphere of mys-
terv involved. Some children when
older grown confess to loss of con-
fidence in their parents honesty
when the hoax was at last discovered.
AS a rule we, are prone to forgive and
condone the deception in them and
then practice it ourselves as long as
possible.

Tax the Autoists for Roads

There can be no doubt that tax upon gas
oline is a fair and equitable means of raising
money for the building and maintenance of
public roads. It places the burden of construc-

where it belongs-on the shoulders of those
who use the highways 1t is collected in small
driblets throughout the year and the average

the arrest of two men who had let
their horses stand for fifteen minutes

coatless by an attendant and timed
while they stood in the drizzling rain.
On returning to the court the judge

Rubber Conservation
. By M:


Herbert Hoover will turn his atten-
ton for time to the conservation OF
rubber, the monopoly of the output
being so largely British with prices
continuing more extortionate while
the American people are the largest
consumers, due to our greater de-
mand for automobiles. Until our
American rubber interests are able
to compete with the British in the
production of rubber, Mr.. Hoover
says, there is but one thing to do and
that is to cut the demand for new
rubber by making better use of what
we have. Every automobile owner is
asked to get more mileage from his
tires by more early repair and every
service station and garage manager
is asked to reclaim old rubber. Not
by self-denial, but by care, we can
reduce our consumption of rubber 25
per cent and save each individual car
owner from $50 to $40 year, in the
opinion, Of Mr.. Hoover, and spokes-
men for national rubber and automo-
bile concerns.
