But one is built like many of its rivals. Goodyear extras are omitted. The other has those hidden values. And those un ' seen extras, on this year's out put, will cost us $1,635,000. This years betterments alone add to our cost $500, . 000 yearly. Yet our 1915 . price reduction saves our users about five million dollars. No Price Excuse This is not a price excuse.'

(2491) Stock NEARLY 2.000 SEE "BIRTH OF A NATION" Great Griffith Spectacle Will Return and Others Coming in Future. Over 1,900 people of Albany and vicinity witnessed "The Birth of a Nation,". D. W. Griffith's great pro duction, the first three days of this week, and paid over $2,000 for the privilege. But so far as known not a person was not satisfied. Every one seemed to be glad of spending the dolar or dollar and a half for a seat It was indeed a historical treat foiS school children and was worth a whole year of history in school with regard to events leading up to and through 'and following the Civil War. The music with the film was alone worth the money. Over half of the members of the orchestra are members of the Minn eapolis Symphony Orchestra and are all high-priced musicians. The music is one.of the big features of the play, and the orchestra is playing practi cally the entire time the film is being shown. Conrad Myers, manager of the Globe Theatre, stated this morning that "The Birth of a Nation" will be back here in October when those who did not get a chance to see it will be given another opportunity. In this great picture the power of advertising is aptly illustrated. The company spent over $500 in and around Albany, mostly in newspapers, in getting the picture before the pub lic. The fact that the play is now so 'well known in this locality will make the second advertising campaign ex pense lighter, and the public will be given the benefit of the diffeicnce. Top prices on the next performance will be one dollar. " Pictures made under the direction or supervision of Griffith are shown every week at the Globe Theatre on the Triangle program: but while they are fine examples of the producer's art, they are necessarily not in a class with this big play just past. However, even in the pictures that show for 15 cents Griffith's genius is often seen in battle scenes and other views of a big scope of action In the near future another big play made by Griffith will be released. It is "Ramona" a Spanish romance. It is also about 12 reels in length, and will carry a string orchestra of 50 pieces. The jnusic is now being re hearsed. The harpist, recently with the company just here returned to Minneapolis a short time ago to join in the rehearsals with the string or chestra. And later wiJI come another great Griffith picture, now being made. It is known at present as "Wo man and the Law," but the name will be-changed before presentation. It has been- over a year in the making and will require two years to com plete. Double the money spent on "The Birth of a Nation" is being spent on this pfay over a million dollars. Recently the "supers," the people taking part in army, mob and other scenes, were served a noon lunch. The number engaged in the play can be estimated by the . fact that several wagon loads of sand wiches were served, soup brought in huge urns, also the coffee. This one lunch cost over $1,700 and was only a lunch, soup, sandwiches, coffee be ing about all that was served. The motion picture business is truly a great enterprise. .- .., Another great picture to be seen. here in the future is the Annette Kcl Icrman $1,000,000 picture, "A Daughter 'of the Gods," made by Herbert Brcn non for Win.

A few minutes before he had been traveling at the rate of 85 miles an hour. The accident was caused by the fact that the man who put the wneel on lorgot to put on a cotter key and the nut came off. Prettier Than Cleopatra Virginia Pearson, appearing in her second picture play for William Fox in the society drama, "Hypoericy, which comes to the Rolfe Friday, is the finest type of beauty in America excelling in perfection Cleopatra, the ancient beauty of whom Miss Pearson has been considered the modern pro totype. This assertion has been made, not More by the publicity writers of the Fox organization, but by no less tn authority thin George Harwood Barrett, noted painter of New York's Fifth Avenue society beauties and an illustrator of international reputation. The Cleopatra of history to whom Miss Pearson has been likened was beyond question quite beautiful,' 'he says. "But the best authority will prove that she was almost petite. She as not the radiant or opulent beauty such as you find in Miss Pearson. She was, I feel certain, of an irregular physical type, not the woman of per fect contour and superb fullness and curve that one sees in Miss Pearson. Caught Fine Flah ,' ' Chas.

"Last spring, a year ago," says Farm and Fireside, "a ten year old neighbor boy was given 10 cents by his grandmother. He purchased a packet of good cucumber seed with his money and grew a nice patch of cucumbers for the local village mar ket. His crop of cucumbers brought him a little over $6 in money, all of which his mother allowed- him to keep and spend aa he pleased. "With $1 of his money this boy pur chased a few things for himself, and with the other $5 he purchased a, ewe lamb. By, this spring his ewe lamb had grown into a mature mother sheep, and she gave birth to twin lambs. So now the boy has three sheep from his investment. The moth er sheep is now worth $10, the lambs are worth $5 each, making a total vat ue of $20 he has earned with his 10 cents in a year and a half. Besides, he sold the wool this spring from the .mother sheep for $2.45, which he hat placed in the savings hank as the be ginning of a hank account of his own." ' . COMINO EVENTS.

Shepherd today filed suit in the probate court asking that the will of his father, Benjamin Shepherd, be set aside and that some one besides M. G. Shepherd, another sou. be ap pointed administrator. The case promises to be a hot family fight for the possession of the property of the estate of the dead man. The petitioner claims that his fath er was 82 years old at the lime he signed the will on May 28. I'I5, and was suffering from a disease known as shingles, from which he died Sept. 6 following. It is alleged Benjamin Shepherd was in weak mind and fol lowed the suggestion of his son, M G. Shepherd, and the son's wife. It is alleged that M. G. Shepherd lived on the place and influenced his fath er to deed to him valuable property. The estate is valued at over $4,000 t. M. Newport, who acted as attor ney for Shepherds when the will was drawn, stated today that the elder Mr, Shepherd was In sound mind ami appeared clear and kncw'whnt he was doing when he made out his will. He claims it is an attempt on the part of some of his heirs, who are disiastis ficd with the will, to break it and take from M. G. Shepherd, who was favored by the father. $9 PERSONALS FROM SHEDD A 3 AND THAT VICINITY 9 S aa)(j)T:iiiaS)fi)i)e(j Charley PiikIi boiiKht a new thresh er and is threshing now.
