DAMON AND PYTH1As
A 100000 Production at the Iris
Next Wednesday Night.

The Knights of Pythias lodge of
Monte Vista has made arrangements
with the Iris Theater management
to show this masterpiece Of film art
on the above date.
Hon. Walter b. Richie, past SUI
preme chancellor of the order of
Knights of Pythias made an address
preceding the photoplay of Damon
and Pythias at the New York Theater
Nov. 80, 1914, in which he said in
part:
1T does not matter as to the de-
tails of the halloWed relationship of
the two devotees OF the Pythagorean
school, but it matters more that it
formed the basis for one of the great
est fraternal societies the world has
ever known.
THE central thought of this re-
markable friendship is found in the
fact that when one of these friends
was condemned to death, the other,
knowing his friends love of home,
devotion to his wife and child, should
offer himself as hostage, as he
begged the tyrant to grant Damon a
few hours respite that he might go
and bid adieu-a last adieu-to his
loved ones.
"The incidents, the tragedies sur
rounding the lives of these friends,
leading up to this browning scene, is
more fercibly portrayed in what you
are about to witness than can be
compared by the possibilities of the
pen.
II deem it the greatest lesson, the
greatest power for good in the lives
of men, with which the public has
been favored for years. Considered
entirely apart from the fact that a
great fraternity has blessed mankind

Dixie HIGHWAY MOVEMENT.

influence Bids Fair to Bring About Bet.
tor Conditions In the South.
The influence of the Dixie highway
movement continues to spread until
now it bids fair to bring about a mark
ed improvement in road conditions all
over the south. Four new highways
tributary to the Chicago-Miami road
already are under consideration.
Immediately after the Dixie highway
plan was established as q certainty q
movement was Get on foot for a south
ern highway, from Chattanooga to
New Orleans. Since then three more
roads have been proposed.
A highway which r. looked upon a.
being already az good a. built IL from
Miami westward across the state Of
Florida to the gulf coast A bond issue
Of 100000 oon WIN be voted, to in
clude the cost Of the part Of the Dixie
highway near Miami
A second highway II proposed to run
from Miami to Cape Sable, Fla, the
southernmost point Of the Atlantic sea-
board. Bonds already have been voted.
This win carry tho Dixie highway from
the great lakes to the gulf Of Mexico.
In North Carolina there has been q
revival Of a plan made several years
ago and partially executed to build .
road practically across the state OF
North Carolina and into Tennessee.
Since the Dixie highway idea has come
into being the general assembly Of
North Carolina has m~emorialixed the
general assembly Of Tennessee upon
this plan, and the Tennessee leg1sla-
ture has answered that It IL ready to
cooperate at any time
In addition the Dixie highway will
cause the construction Of many more
miles Of good road, because half a
dozen or more ~contesting sections viii
put their roads In the best possible
condition as an inducement for obtain
ing the route Of the highway. Sections
adjacent to the ~contesting territories
are Offering to build small tributaries
II the Dixie highway win come within
30 or 100 miles Of them.
