AT THE BEST THEATRE.

Information comes to us that one of our young ladies in the popular voting contest Is to be married short ly, and of course she is working mighty hard to win the two tickets to California. which would be some honeymoon trip. as they expect to take in all the principal points of in terest in California, Arizona and Col OradO. Now we have been trying to guess who she is, and have decided that we will have to give it up. as all we have to go by is the way they work, and when one sees that they would think they were all going to get married and take trip to Cali fornia. However. it will be nice to win two tickets and some one to ge to California with you, all in one lit- tie contest.
 We have had a constant demand that Carl w. Molter should sing a very beautiful and poular song, o1 which we all know the story, 'The Rosary" so this afternoon and night you will have the pleasure of hearing MT. Molter sing "the Rosary" Every one who heard MT. Molter in the fam ous Italian selection entitled Mar garita," were more than pleased, and were loud in their praise of him Now, if you have never had this pleasure, if you will come to the Best today we are sure you will be pleased as 1t Is worth the price of admission to hear Mir. Molter sing.

NAPOLEON

Romanticism is the keynote of George Kleine's latest photodramatic success "For Napoleon and France which will be the attraction at the Elks theatre for three days, commence ing Monday the 25th. It is based on historical events that occurred dur ing the iron rule of the great Napol- con. and is presented with a dra- matic power that is surprising to at tain upon the screen and can only be accomplished by masters of pan tomines and expression such as the Italian school creates.
 The martial atmosphere is intense, and the fortunes of the chief char acters are cleverly interwoven with realistic spectacular battles that were fought during the Napoleonic wars. But the clash of mighty armies charges and countercharges, heroic deeds on the field of battle and the flying shot and shell that turn the scene of conflict into a shambatshrdl scene of conflict into a shambles, all vividly and realistically visualized on the screen. while enthralling the audi ence, do not hod it's intense interest SO completely as the romatic thread that Is current throughout this ab- sorbing photodrama.
 Sympathetically the spectators watch a sophisticated woman of the world. although high degree and member of the French Court-an in- atitution reeking with iniquity and degradation play with the heart strings of youthful soldier of France. whose heroism on the field ot battle hast won him honors. the praise of his country and the favor of Ma poleon. Her subtle charms and arti- fices brings hi into her feet. She plays with him as a cat does a mouse. When she has him on the point of being faithless to his coun- try through disobedence of military orders. he is saved from her evil in- fatuation by his devoted sister.
 The manner in which the adventur- ess seeks to avenge herself upon the youth forms the balance of this won- derful story, which is replete with tense dramatic situations.

President Wilson's appeal to the
American people to help the govern

serving on their own part an impartial

comedies that individuals cannot help
having sympathies with one side or

between private sympathy or offensive
display of it. The Presidents appeal
will serve one good purpose in empha-

official position, and in making him
the one possible intermediary for the
peacemaking that must finally come.
That his position is already potentially

STATE FARM YIELDS
10000 BALES COTTON
Army Worm Has Made Appearance At
Parchman Prison Farm.

DIR. ]. C. Gathing, superintendent of
the prison farms, expects yield of
10000 bales of cotton on the different
penal farms of the state this year,
providing the weather holds good the
remainder of the season.
At Parchman, at Camp No. 1, the
army worm has made its appearance,
but it is not believed will work the
crops any serious damage.
The state last year made something
more than 5000 bales of cotton, which
was record-breaking yield and this
year it is believed DR.. Gathings' pre-
diction will be very nearly justified.
The penitentiary farms are not
drags on the state, but are making
money each year.

SOLUTION OF PROBLEM OF HAND.
LING AMERICAN PRODUCTS
SOUGHT.
$25,000,00O FOR PURCHASE
Of OCEAN GOING VESSELS
viii Be Operated Under Direction of
Government Shipping Board-Money
Will Be Raised BY Sale Of Panama
Canal Bonds. .s

Washington, Aug. 24-The admins.
tration has mapped out comprehensive
plans for building up the American
merchant marine with government
money, for the immediate purpose of
transporting products of the United
States to warning European nations
and to South and Central America.
President Wilson, in consultation
with Democratic congressional leaders
approved a project contemplating the
expenditure of approximately $25,OOO,-
600 to purchase ocean-going vessels to
be operated under the direction of
government shipping board.
War Risk Insurance Included.
Government insurance of American
ships and cargoes against war risks
would be provided for in a bill sub
mltted to Congress. 1t would create
temporary bureau of war risk insur-
ance in the Treasury Department and
would appropriate $5,O00,0O0 for pay
ment of losses and 100000 to operate
the bureau.
Plans agreed on for the purchase by
the government of ships include the
creating of shipping board to COM
prise the President, the Secretary of
the Treasury, the Secretary of Com
merce and the Postmaster-General. It
is proposed to use the ships principally
in the foreign trade and the administra-
tion hopes that great impetus will be
given to trade between South and Cen
trail America
Controlled BY Government.
The present plan is to obtain money
to carry out the project by the sale of
Panama Canal bonds. 1t was decided
that it might take some time for suf-
fcient ships to take advantage of the
recently signed amendment to the Pan
anna Canal act, allowing foreign-built
ships to register under the American
flag, and the necessity for moving the
crops of the United States is so press.
ing that extraordinary steps were de-
cided on.
1t is planned to organize a company
similar to the Panama Canal Railway
Company, controlled by the govern
ment, for the actual operation of the
ships after they have been purchased.

in the European war than even the

said that all the countries involved
were better supplied with aeroplanes
than was generally known, and that
the use to be made of them would be
widespread.
when general fighting begins" Mr..
Curtiss said, you will see aeroplanes
rising as from the dark corners of
the earth and the European sky will
be literally dotted with them. Their
value for reconnoitering and for drop.
ping bombs will be enormous. The
nations of Europe have realized this
in advance, and every one of them has
provided itself with aeroplanes more
or less secretly untn there are now
thousands ready for immediate ser
vice.
And the country that has gone
ahead most secretly" Mr.. Curtiss
continued, 'is Russia. 1t is generally
supposed that Russia is deficient il

tage, but according to information
have Russia will loom up as formid
