Amarilly of Clothes Line Alley”
FRIDAY, SEPT. 20
Greater Than “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm”
Critics say when the history of the screen is written '‘Amarilly of Clothesline Alley” will be the standard by
which historians will judge all Mary Pickford pictures. She is a wonderful actress.
This is said to be the funniest photoplay in which “America’s Sweetheart” has ever appeared, but while the story
consists principally of amusing lincidents it is full of simple, homely philosophy and endeavors to show that people from
the environments of Clothesline Alley can never mix happily with the upper stratum of society.
Come out Friday and let her tell you why she married a bartender in preference to a society youth.
\ One More Notice.
In spite of notices frequently
given, some children are skating
on the walks, and some are rid-
ing bicycles on the walks. Par-
ents are urged once more not to
allow their children to be law
violators. One day you will have
to pay a fine, and then you will
be out of humor, perhaps, and
yet it will be your own fault.
Please take warning, save money
for yourselves and unpleasant-
ness for all concerned.
Board of Commissioners.
H. C. Baldwin and daughter,
Miss Gertrude, will leave tomor-
row for Tell, Childress county.
Mr. Baldwin will gather the

New Telephone Manager.
F. H. Ogerly, formerly of
Sherman, is now manager of the

Southwestern Telephone Com-
pany, having succeeded Mr.
Black, who was transferred to
Dallas. Mr. Ogerly has moved
his family to Honey Grove and
has rooms at Mrs. LaMaster’s,
on East Main Street,
This is school time, and fitting
the boys and girls up for school
is always a problem. Let us help
you solve the problem. In buy-
ing we kept these problems well
in mind, and you will find it easy
at our store to fit the boys and
girls for school neatly and inex-
pensively.—Wilkins, Wood &
Patteson. .

WE HAVE ADDED
THE
TALKING
MACHINES
TO OUR
MUSIC Department
Everyone knows the real quality of a
Pathe Machine. When you see the picture of
a red rooster on the screen you can always
know it is a Pathe production. You get the
latest war news on the screen through the
Pathe people. Your children can handle the
Pathe machine without scratching 6r damag-
ing the Record the least bit. It has a Sapphire
needle and it is impossible to injure the rec-
ord through rough handling. We will take
pleasure in showing you all about the Pathe
Machine. Whether interested or not we want
you to come to see and hear this machine
demonstrated. -

Terms of Payment for Fourth
Series Liberty Loan Bonds
The Treasury Department has
not given out the quota for the
several subdivisions of the
Eleventh Federal Reserve Dis-
trict, but indications are that
this announcement will be made
within the next few days.
The government has announc-
ed that bonds will be issued in
denominations of $50, $100, $500,
$1000 and $10,000 either coupon
or registered bonds. Payments
may be made as follows:
10 per cent on date of sub-
scription.
20 per cent on November 21.
' 20 per cent on December 19.
20 per cent on January 16.
30 per cent on January 30.
Interest on the bonds will be
payable on April 15 and October
15 of each year.
It is the earnest desire and
hope of the committee that ev-
ery person in the county will re-
spond promptly on receipt of
their quota, and thereby materi-
ally lessen the labors of the com-
mittee, and give the government
the help it needs. The payments
have been made so easy that any
person can make the initial pay-
ment and meet the deferred pay-
ments out of the proceeds of
crops.

P^ris, Sept. 7.— (Correspond-
ence-Associated Press)—During
the I recent American advance
out <j>f Chateau Thierry, a Red
Crosfc captain was looking about
for suitable hospital sites when
he met an American negro sol-
dier marching along toward
Chateau Thierry, xfollowing
closely behind a German major.
The “negro had transferred his
pack from his own back to the
back of the German officer, and
had also transferred the German
major’s monocle to his own eye.
Thus equipped the black warrior
was parading triumphantly
down the road. As he passed
the Red Cross captain he called
out: “I say, look here what this
nigger done got.”

A Poem Dedicated to the Kaiser and
His Six Uninjured Sons.
The spring work’s done an’ its up to
the sun-—all the crops an’ the
garden sass—
He’s banished the cold an’ sowed his
gold on the flats in the medder
grass.
Let’s raise the flag—a better one was
never yet unfurled—
But first I want to tell ye ’bout the
' carefulest man in "the world.
Kings are kind o’ careless like with
others’ blood and bone,
But no one can, I swear to man! be
carefuler o’ their own.
When I read about the German dead
before the heated guns,
I think 0’ the king in Germany with
his six uninjured sons.
Each fireside has its martyrs who
have either died or bled.
The millions grieve for the sons who
leave an’ join the host o’ the dead.
But the Kaiser’s brood is safe an’
sound—it either shirks or runs—
He’s the only man in Germany with
six uninjured sons.
The halt, an’ blind, an’ crippled line
its byways an’ its roads;
Once swift an’ strong, they creep
along ’neath everlastin’ loads,
An’ some with crippled intellects still
hear the roarin’ guns,
Yet there’s a king in Germany with
six uninjured sons.
Such caution in a fightin’ man was
never seen before;
It stands the\while like a lonesome
isle in a mighty sea of gore.
The death an’ woe he recommends to
all the other Huns
Is not for him—you bet your life—or
his uninjured sons.
Each Hohenzollern battles in a steel-
clad limousine,
When the big shells come he’s goin’
some on legs o’ gasoline;
With rubber feet, hell-bent for home,
the reckless hero runs,
Oh! Speed’s the great preserver o’ the
Kaiser an’ his sons.
They’re like the bold jack rabbit an’
other tribes accursed.
Who have lightnin’ in their sinews an’
the motto, “Safety First;”
All clear the road an’ stan’ square
toed an’ look with rested guns
When the Kaiser starts for safety
with his fat, uninjured sons.
While hunger starves the German
host, how fat the Kaiser’s bi’ood!
No gizzards yearn with cash to burn
or mind the price o’ food.
When the trumpet calls the Teuton
dead in the line o’ crippled Huns,
Just think 0’ the Kaiser marchin’ up
with his six uninjured sons!
—By Irving Bacheller in St. Louis
Republic.

When one has reached the
mellowing years of life he knows
that his'search for fine souls and
loving hearts does not necessa-
rily lead him into paths where
wealth glitters, or luxury cor-
rupts, or power dazzles, or ambi-
tion corrodes. It will usually be
in the less sordid nooks of the
world, where lofty purpose fal-
ters not, where the spirit soars
above the miasma of selfishness
and the deadly blight of the sen-
sual and the lewd, and where
amid the serious tasks and
sweeter simplicities of life the
tender, the brave and the true
strive on to keep faith with duty.

Mrs. J. H. Strickland and two
children, south of town, who de-
veloped smallpox last week, are
reported as recovering rapidly.
No new cases have developed and
since all the exposed have been
vaccinated, and other precau-
tions taken, there seems little
likelihood that the disease will
spread beyond this family.
Walter Vaughan is now a stu-
dent in A. & M. College. He left
