'WORNWOOD' Will
fASCINATE ALL

Marie Corelli has given to the world
a large number of fascinating novels,
but probably none with more punch
than "Wormwood," the novel that is
given credit with having influenced
the United States government in plac-
ing a ban on the importation of alb
smith in any of its insiduous forms.
The story is weird and as photo
play is one. of the sensations of the
year. "Wormwood" comes to the Ha-
waii theater for a limited engage
ment, Fox Film Corporation pro-
duction with cast of favorites direct
from Broadway.
Its producers herald the cast OF
rWormwood" with that much abused
expression, "all-star cast" but in the
present case this praise is not ex-
traVagant. The principal parts OF
"Wormwood" are so capably handled
that a splendidly adjusted dramatic
balance is the result Ethel Kauff-
man, 16-year-old leading woman, as
Pauline, is wonderfully appealing and
charming in the character OF the un'
happy little heroine. Few actresses
come to mind who could have so per-
fectly both looked and played this
role, which is by turns winsome, pa
thetic and then suddenly great with
raw tragedy. John Sainpolis, as Gas
ton Beauvais, the absinth fiend, gives
a rendition of the character which can
only be called startling in its real
ism. Charles Arthur makes an effec-
tive and sympathetic characterization
of Silvion Guidel, the young priest,
and the same may be- said of Edgar
Davenport, always o fayorite; Lillian
Dilworth and others of the long cast.

At the beginning of the war
great pressure was brought TO
bear upon the newspapers of the
various belligerent nations to do
nate their advertising space for
patriotic purposes. From so many
quarters did the appeals come that
it soon became evident the pub
fishers would 60 bankrupt if they
yielded to all the calls. Conse-
quently, they soon saw the neces-
sity of a definite policy and OF
concerted action. They were pa
triotic and were anxious to do
all they could to promote the
cause of their respective govern
ments. =. "

If the manufacturers of NUM-
tions and other supplies were to

the manufacturers of advertising
space be paid for the products
of their factories? To give their
space away would be to depreci-
ate the value of advertising in
the mind of the public at large.
We are all familiar with the
d advertising campaign in England
to secure recruits, and we all
know what great results were
achieved. Now, this space was
paid for in cash = not donated.
The individual publishers con-
tributed to the fund in. the shape
of checks and taxes, just like other
business men.
Similarly, in Canada, the pub
Fishers had to decide what their
policy would be. Did patriotism
demand that they donate their
space to all the objects growing
out of war. conditions? Or, were
they justified in viewing their adj
vertising as having as fixed a
value as any other commodity
needed for the equipment of the
army and the prosecution of the
war?
= The answer is supplied in let
ter to Printers Ink from Charles
F. Roland, president and general
manager of the Winnipeg Tele
gram. We commend Mr.. Rolands
logic to the bodyzof men who, in
the years to come, expect to con-

space is the only commodity the
newspaper has to sell.

But, instead of giving away a
million dollars worth of space,
the Canadian papers charged their
government a fair price and then,
from a modest campaign, produced
q million dollars worth Of results.
Which is the better advertise
ment of adyertising-to give away
a million dollars worth of space,
or to demonstrate that intelligent
advertising can be made to yield
million dollars in direct retHrnsf
And as for patriotism-we think
the stand of the Canadian publish
ers was absolutely Hnimpeaehable.
What is freely given away is al
ways lightly esteemed. IL the
Canadian daiiesl had donated out
of hand million dollars worth
of space, the chances are the space
would have been filled with per-
functory, flabby copy. There
would have been no returns worth
talking about, and advertising
would have received another black

WAUCHULA Citizen
FOULLY MURDERED
LAST NIGHT

The Wauchula Advocate, issued
this morning, has the following to
say of a fiendish crime committed
there last night:
"Wauchula was startled last night
by the news that Mr.. T. j. Lee had
been assassinated at his home just
north of the Chase packing house
The crime was committed about s
o'clock. Mr.. Lee and his wife had
been to the picture show, and soon
after returning home Mrs. Lee went
to her room to retire. Mr.. Lee was
in the sitting room with his back
near a window and had pulled off
one shoe when the assassin fired a
load of buck-shot through his back,
killing him instantly.
"The perpetrator of the dastardly
crime evidently knew the habits OF
the Lees and had planned the heel
