Sumter is bombarded, the Ameri-
can flag falls before the fire of
an enemy; and the nation rushes
to arms. The battle of Vicksburg
is pictured in detail. Yet through
out, the romance of war overtops
it's red horror and delicate and
beautiful romance involving
North and South in the border
City, St. Louis, weaves it's thread
through the story. Thomas Edi-
son says that in "The Crisis" we
have preserved for posterity the
titanic figure of Lincoln, his
actions, his characteristics. The
comedy, "Tunin' In, dealing
with ''The Lazy Farmer, will
also be shown.

movement back to the farm,
general contentment and optim-
ism on the farm will not come
about by the organization of

There must always be more
firmer foundation than mere fads
and fancies. His talk was in
termingled with a little >humor.
Following the concert lunch and
a social dance was enjoyed.

STONE RELICS
FALLS MAN, HOME FROM
STUDY OF I~DEOGRAPHS.
WILL RETURN SOON

r. H. Willcomb of Great Falls
who last week called attention t.
the possibility that inscriptions
carved into the sandstone a
neutrality-suspicious." in Alberta, II
miles northwest of Coutts, were
made by Norsemen nine centurie:
ago, returned Sunday evening
from another visit to that place
more than ever convinced that the
writings resemble some found in
Scandinavian countries.
Several Great Falls men are
planning to accompany Mr.. Will
comb soon to Writing-on-Stone
to make a detailed study Of what
may be runic writings telling of
the journey of the Norsemen
across this region. Mr.. Willcomb
at his visit at the end of last
week saw new evidence of runic
inscriptions, finding rows of APP
parent characters. The charact-
ers-if they r characteristic
formed of straight lines at vari-
Gus angles.
The Great Falls man also dis
covered that there are apparent
ly two types of writing, which
he does not believe were made by
the same peoples. In Indian ira
ditions Writing-on-Stone was sort
of an oracle where the red men
went for counsel and were told
by the signs on the rocks of flu
ture events. He has been unable
to find any Indian who does not
say the writings pre-date Indian
traditions. The Indian belief was
that the inscriptions we're made
by spirits and that the writings
were Frequently obliterated by the
source of their origin.-Great
