AFOUR SONS" TO BE SHOWN
AT REESE THEATRE SOON

The secret of the success of the
Reese Theatre is due not only to the
arrangements aggressiveness in Sc
curing motion pictures that appeal
to the masses, but their ability to
present them at a comparatively
lower admission price. An outstand-
ing example of this is -Four Cons"
considered one of the greatest hui
man documents ever released by
the Fox organization, which plays
this theatre Wednesday and Thurs
day, January 80 and 81, at twenty,
thirty and forty cents.
-Four Sons" is certainly entitled
to its classification as master
piece. 1t is crowded with all the
elements that go toward making up
superb screen entertainment. 1t
tells of a mothers abiding faith in
her four sons and in the world.
Their home, happy at first, is cloud
ed with the coming of the war. The
old mother is torn between her sons
in the German army and her one
son in the American army. With
the exception of one scene on the
battlefield, in which brother fights
brother, the war itself is not pro-
jected into the story, except as an
off-screen background. Rather, it is
the tale of a mother the sons leave
behind, her struggles and her heart
aches, told with honesty and sim
plicity and at all times with the
utmost dramatic effect.
Due to the limited engagement Of
this marvellous production, there
will be two shows each night, at
seven and nine. One of the big
features of this presentation is the
symphonic music score rendered by
the cinematone, the very latest
method of sound and music repro
duction.

BELIEVE INFLUENZA
EPIDEMIC ON WANE
GC0HtiHHed from first pagsJ

August but little attention was paid
to it. This would make it appear as
if the present epidemic now abating
is really the second influenza wave
to pass over this country. DR.. Jost,
like many other physicians, believes
there was not so much influenza.
The Washington conference urged
persons to avoid crowds, to obtain
plenty of rest, to eat and drink in
moderation but did not see the ne
cessity for closing schools and
churches, except in abnormal con-
ditiOns.

ports IN 1913 by $I94,olliUUU, or 20
per cent, compared with $70,49S 900.
or per cent, in 1927, 1t was stated
by the Department of Commerce
/ This increasing balance in favor of
| imports, particularly during the past
year, is due to the decline in the ex-
ports Of grain and grain products,
according to G. FL. Kardell, foodstuffs
division of the department.
The bulk of, the foodstuffs Inn
ported consists of tropical and semi
tropical products, some of which are
not grown in the United States and
others, especially sugar, not grown
in sufficient quantities to supply the
demand. Coffee comprises approx
mately one-third of the total value
of food imports and sugar more than
one-fifth, with cocoa beans, tropical
fruits, especially bananas, tea, spices
and tropical nuts forming the bulk
Of the remainder.
Coffee Is the largest single item
among imports of foodstuffs. owing
to the fairly stable demand the guam.
tity imported does not fluetuate
greatly from year to year, although
the price may vary considerably.
