Howe for over two years every possible courtesy and facility to film the U. S. navy of 1915, was to stimulate the interest of the Ameri can public by demonstrating to them, in one imposing object lession, just what the country has to show for the millions upon millions of dollars which are being expended annually for the navy. Mr. Howe will present this object lesson at the Parmele thea ter Thursday, March 11. No more effective way of doing this could be conceived. Although statistics, tab ular comparisons and descriptive ar ticles cannot , possibly give any adequate idea of our new navy and its activities as presented in this ex clusive film production, a few figures, nevertheless are interesting in this connection, and especially at this juncture in the world's history when it is so evident that the importance of a nation's navy cannot be over-! estimated. So here are a few nota ble facts: The ten newly perfected guns of the 14-inch type on the super-dread-naught New York are so mounted that all can be used as a single broadside to either port or starboard. Each of them fires a projectile weigh ing 1,400 pounds meaning a broad side of 14,000 pounds from the ten guns, to fire which coses the United States government $7,700 per broad side. This involves the explosion of 3,700 pounds of smokeless powder costing 53 cents per pound, or $1,961 per broadside for powder alone. In addition there is a secondary battery of twenty 5-inch guns and half of these can be fired simultaneously as a broadside. Four of these ships are able to fire a "salvo" of 14-inch guns, the combined weight of the projectiles being 56,000 pounds, or over twenty five tons, which costs $31,080 to fire; and if the secondary batteries are in cluded if all guns on the four ships were discharged at the same moment the rain of steel would weigh 60, 256 pounds, costing $34,256. For two of these ships the government paid $7,800,000 each, exclusive of arms and armament, and to build the At lantic fleet as constituted today cost over $l&u,UUfj,uuu. congress ap propriated last year for our new navy $139,964,333, of which $43,338,044 is for the construction of three new dreadnaughts. Since you, as a good American citizen, pay your share, this reproduction is of vital interest because it sets forth so cleverly and tangibly how this vast appropriation is invested. "Immense! I congratulate you," said Rear Admiral Badger upon view ing this remarkable reproduction. What appealed so strongly to him was not alone the spectacular phases of the series, but also the thoroughness that characterized the work of the camera men in filming the minutest and manifold duties on board ship. Another feature, contrasting the Philippines of today and yester-year brings home to Americans the modes of life of the wild tribes in days gone by and how Uncle Sam has transform ed their lives. It is an impressive pictorial lesson of what can be achieved by tactful patience and skill ful guidance. How their confidence they have been turned from war and head-hunting to peaceful industrial pursuits should be seen by every good American. WHAT THE HASTINGS DAILY TRIBUNE HAS TO TO SAY OF JOHNSON'S VAUDEVILLE That the opera house patrons re ceived far more than their money's worth at last night's performance of the Lucas-JoTinson shows, was readily seen when one heard the enthusiastic applause greeting the efforts of the entertainers. A house that was large, considering the weather conditions, was on hand and the satisfactien ex pressed by the audience bids fair to crowd the house at the remaining shows of the week. The aggregation of players puts on a vaudeville pro gram far above the ordinary bill. Two laugh-producing skits were on last night's program and mixed with clever singing and dancing made a decided hit. George and Helen Lucas, old Kearney favorites, opened with their famous "cradle act," fol lowed by Mrs. Baxter Johnson in a number of new and well rendered frongs. Then W. S. Dale convulsed his hearers with clean, sidesplitting black face work that got them all going. Then "Billie made his visit" and the crowd hated to see "Billie" leave. The entertainment was closed by a screaming farce in which the entire company took part, which goes by the monicor, "Troublesome Agents." To night will witness an entire change of bill. Hastings Daily Tribune. GEORGE W. YOUNG IS VERY SICK AT HIS HOME IN OKLAHOMA Many ills come from impure blood. Can't have pure blood with faulty di gestion, lazy liver and sluggish owels. Burdock Blood Bitters is rec ommended for strengthening stomach, bowels and liver and purifying the blood. From Wednesday's Pally. Mrs. C. R. Troop departed yester day afternoon for Oklahoma, where she was called to the bedside of her brother, George W. Young, who is very sick with pneumonia fever, and whose recovery hangs in the balance. Since departing for the south time has not been sufficient to hear any thing from Mrs. Troop, who will, on her arrival at the bedside of her brother, wire his condition. Mr. Young was for a number of years county commissioner in this county and lived here a number of years, and is known by a large number of peo ple, who will be interested in know ing how he is progressing. Mr. Young visited here but a few months since and at that time was in apparently the best of health.
