It is a barren mind that can’t think up excuses, and now some well-meaning apologists have come forward to excuse the kaiser. Careful scrutiny of his recent demeanor in Holland, they say, indicates that he is insane. His grandiloquent and the- atrical behavior points to paranoia. He has for some years suffered from a form of mania, manifested in his frequeqt allusions to the Almighty as his confidential partner. And if he is insane he deserves pity rather ‘than blame. . This lets out Wilhelm. The German people have already been let out, because we have been repeatedly told that they entered the war at the behest of their emperor, and not of their own desire. So no one is to blame. Millions of homes have been desolated, millions of men have been unspeakably mutilated, millions more killed. Millions of women have been atrociously mistreated. No one’s fault. 4 And yet one wonders why a nation failed to detect insanity in its sovereign when he precipitated and prolonged the blood- jest satastrophe of all time. A nation that countenanced such a sovereign without -imputing to. him either lunacy or crime is itself either a criminal or a lunatic. 0 huge success. “THE S'GN INVISIBLE.” “The Sign Invisible,” to 'be fea- tured at the Rex theatre tonight and tomorrow is one of the photo-plays selected by the First National Ex- hibitors Circuit, an organization of big theatre owners formed a few months ago for the purpose of select- ing pictures of rreal merit for their own - chain of “first run” theatres from coast to coast.” The story deals of the adventures of a dissipated young New York doe- tor ‘among the simple people of a remote Canadian trading post. Those who enjoy the ‘big, virile type of photo-play, the kind that is full of action and mirrors human emotions in the rough, the kind in which men make ‘their own laws and women’s love is its own justification, should not fail to see this picture which is indeed most gripping. It is-unquestionably one of the best sereen 'plays of the year. - There will also be shown a Sun- shine comedy, “Who Is Your Father?”’ Two parts. Rex Satu~day. The popular Willlam Fox .star, Peggy Hyland, will be seen in a novel and daring role in her new film drama, “Marriages Are Made,” which is coming to the Rex theatre on next Saturday. As the daughter of ‘a wealthy American who beccmes the center of a deep-laid German plot to blow up an American shipyard, Miss Hyland undergoes many thrill- ing experiences. These include her capture by the crew of a U-boat, a flerce battle with an unscrupulous German officer and his men, a daring gortie to destroy some floating mines, and a last-minute rescue from a forty-mile-an-hour speed boat.

Now two-thirds of the consuming centers, with millions cf people, are one totwo thousand miles away from the principal live-stock produc- ing sections, which are sparsely settled. The American meat packing industry of today is the development of the ‘best way to perform a national service. The function of providing meat had to de- velop accordingly. Those men who first grasp- - ed the elements of the changing problem created the best facilities to 'meet it—large ‘packing plants and branch houses at strategic points, refrigerating -equipment (including cars), car routes, ‘trained organization, profitable outlets for former waste — which became the nat- ural, inevitable channels for the vast flow of meat across the country. 3 If there were a better way to perform this necessary service, American ingenuity and enterprise would have discovered it, and others would now “be using it. During 1918, Swift & Company has earned a profit on meats(and meat by-products) of less than 214 cents per dollar of sales—too small a profit to have any appreciable effect on prices.
