attempt to outline the story to any
one with a remote chance of seeing
it for himself. The kick is in the fin
ish-and it comes very much within
the domain of the surprise.
The director has embellished the
story by giving it a pictorial setting,
setting beftting the financial and
social positions of the chief charac-
ters. There are scenes on ship and On
shore-and the staging is always con-
vincing. Then, too, there is a fine
cast, the members of which we'll may
have found unusual satisfaction in
their roles. But the dominating notes
are speed, smoothness and tension.
Owen Moore is Stephen Denby,
and very completely does he deceive
the observer. Mr.. Moore has a big
part and he ''goes to it." Hazel
Dawn is Ethel Cartwright, the young
woman who under duress becomes an
agent of the United States govern
ment. She does not overlook the
dramatic opportunities; of them she
makes much. Several other we'll
known players contribute their share
to the making of an exceptional
picture.

the woman was good the villagers
were jealous of her.
At distance was the haunted
forest y where the fairies lived. The
people were afraid to go near it.
At the house of the kind woman,
there was born a girl. This made the
people hate the kind woman more, but
she did not pay any attention to their
fussing. She named her baby Happi-
ness, because she had brought her
great joy.
AS Happiness grew older she be-
came more like her mother. She
would never fuss.
Instead of playing with the fussy
children of the village, she would
chase butterfys or lie on her back and
look up at the blue sky. Sometimes
her mother would tell her stories
about the fairies who lived in the
haunted forest.
One day as Happiness was going to
fetch water from the well, she saw an
old, gray-haired woman walking along
in the hot sun. The villagers were
hooting at her and stoning her. "You
ought to be ashamed Of yourselves"
said Happiness. "Come home with
me, poor old woman.

to her mother. She and her mother
gave her food and drink and gave her
their own bed to sleep in.
The next morning Happiness
awoke and found the old woman
gone, and in her place a beautiful
fairy stood.
"This," said the fairy, ssis because
you have been kind to others" Then
she disappeared
The sun began to rise. It was the
beginning of a beautiful Christmas

RICE AS A NATIONAL FOOD.
Country Wide Advertising Campaign
Planned by Growers of Cereal.

Speaker Champ Clark's open adyo-
cacy. Of rice as q national food at q
time when 4fofais an a Gssasaa na ezai and
other food products are soaring IN
fprice, has given impulse to the move
ment now definitely under way to ad-
vertise southern rice to the whole
country. The Democratic speaker in
an interview from Washington, pub
lished broadcast, said: "Rice is too
generally overlooked in this country
| was surprised to hear the other day
that five cents worth of rice will serve
as substitute for bread for an en-
tire day in a family Of six people"
The rice eaters of Louisiana, Tex
as, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida,
Georgia and South Carolina know this
to be true, but the millions of people
in the north and east know rice only
as dessert.
Now come the Southern Rice Grow
ers' Association and the Rice Millers'
Association with definite plan to
educate these millions to the virtues
Of rice as cheap and daily diet. At
recent meeting in Beaumont they
resolved to raise from among rice
growing and milling interests large
fund for continuous campaign for
the academic advertising of rice. The
growers and millers will be asked to
put up a small assessment per bag for
three or more years, and the aggre-
gate thus accumulated will enable
them not only to grow and sell rice
in larger quantities but for higher
prices. And yet the price will be low
er than that of other foodstuffs.
A committee of the combined in
terests headed by Jos. Broussard,
president of the Rice Millers' Associa-
ton at Beaumont, with Frank God
chaux, A. Alton Foster, E. A. Eignas
and DIR. Geo. W. Collier, are now cir
culating the subscription contract.
Another committee, on organization,
composed Of w. B. Dunlap, chairman,
DR.. P. II. Saunders and S. Locke
Breaux, is preparing charter and by
laws.
Bag manufacturers, rice farm i'm
plement companies, and all directly
interested in rice are expected to con-
tribute to the fund for making rice
national food.

CUPID AND CONTRABAND." j"
Times Ficayune Photodrama to Be
Shown at Gem Theatre.

/ Cupid and Contraband," a superb
six-part rhotodrama produced in New
Orleans under the auspices of the
Tlmes-Picayune, with fifteen talent
ed young women Of New Orleans and
surrounding territory playing the
principal parts, will be the New Year
offering at the Gem Theatre The pic
tuTe tells the following thrilling story:
Louisiana Holmes, the petted
daughter of merchant of an old
southern type, is ambitious and seeks
a career IN a newspaper office. Tom
Lane, a secret service agent, loves
| Lou. LOUIS father is not averse to
securing a share OF the rich payments
made by Central American revolu-
tionists for contraband supplies, but
he keeps his dealings in this channel
secret. A rich vein of comedy is de-
veloped when Lou and her friends
make up house party at LOUIS home.
The beautiful grounds. are permeated
with love and the young men who
have been. invited to the party come
perilously near to making lifelong
contracts A loyelorn maiden, like
sprite, breaks up the matches, but not
until Lou has allowed her pleasures
to interfere with her work, and she is
dismissed from the newspaper upon
which she had an assignment.
Meanwhile her father has secretly
contracted for the delivery Of war
supplies to Signor Dravado, represent
ing a revolutionary party, and also
he has forbidden Tom Lane to marry
T -
which is $1,000 more, than Tom pos
sesses. Tom comes in the course of
what appears to be bribe of $4,000,
but he spurns the temptation. The
circumstances thicken about him un-
I'll it is made to appear that he has
proven false to Lou and been enmesh-
ed in the schames of Yvette, a South
American vampire. Lou pleads for
reinstaten at the newspaper and
is given the most difficult assignment
on the paper in the hope that she
might fail and stop bothering the city
editor Her efforts result in her fall
ing into the hands of La Belle Creole,
the confdante of Dravado, where she
is locked in a secret room. She is res
cued by little Mignon, and the girls
join in q chase in a swift motorboat |
20 rescue Tom, who has been over
powered and taken aboard the revolu- i
tionary vessel which is waiting to sail |
with goods furnished by Lou's father.
The pursuit Of the girls precipitates
an unexpected fight on the plotter's
vessel. Tom is rescued. Lou finish
es remarkably clever story which
reveals that her father has been mix
ea up in the contraband trade, which
fact is used by Lou and Tom to make
him forget his objections to their
marriage and to induce the obdurate
merchant to promise a partnership to
his prospective son-in-law, and to quit
dealing in contraband.

A Junk Fund.

A Junk Fund.
In order to get money for Rec
Cross work, the Canadian womer
have started a collection of old paper
bottles, rags, rubber and all the ma
terials that are so well summed up by
the word junk. Of course, all the
children were enlisted in the work.
Every house, every long unmolested
attic, vacant lots and q thousand and
one other places yielded up their
quota of junk.
A place became necessary to store
it in. The city of Toronto's harbor
commission offered a warehouse, and
here today dozen women are almost
constantly engaged in sorting and
packing the collected matter. In the
first month, from this new and as yet
not fully learned business, the wo-
men cleared $1619, and figures to
date show that they have started a
business that now looks likely to re-
turn $4,000 a year without the in
vestment Of a cent of capital, and
which required only organization and
hard work.
Such women are deserving of the
vote and it is easily understood why
the provinces of Saskatchewan, Al
berta, Manitoba and British Colum-
bia enfranchised their. women.

NUMBER 22
SOUTH IN THE SPOTLIGHT.
Enormous Economic Development
Predicted For This Region.

With cotton, rice and sugar in a
commanding position, the entire
south and particularly the Gulf coast
states are taking definite steps to in
sure a long continued era of pros
perlty. Three great movements to
exploit the south are we'll under way.
The Gulf coast country of Alabama,
Florida and Mississippi has organ
lied the Gulf Coast Development Lea
que, which, backed by bankers, cut
over land owners and winter resort
proprietors, will spend $25O,000 in
five-year campaign of national public
lty and advertising to settle and de-
velope the cut-over lands of the Gulf
ment capital and attract wealthy
tourists. Henry Hall, president of
the First National Bank of Mobile, is
president of this league.
The Southern Pine Association is
back of big movement to advertise
cut-over pine lands in Georgia, Flori-
da, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma, and
to colonize them with desirable Amer
lean homeseekers from the congested
and war-wealthy sections of the
north, east and middle west. The
pine forests are fast being denuded,
and productive cultivation must take
the place of lumber cutting. Satsu
ma orange growing is one of the fac
tors of greatest interest and import
ance.
Rice, a staple in the southern Gulf
coast region and luxury up north,
is next on the program for extensive
After many years of
lack of coordination, the growers and
millers have at last gotten together
in well-defined program to nation
ally exploit this wonderfully nutri-
tious food.
Bankers all over the south report
phenomenal increase in deposits, and
trade prosperity is forging ahead by
leaps and bounds. The Literary Di-
gest recently devoted several pages of
a leading article on the gathering
in the south, and predict
ed a great wave of wealth accumula-
tion and enormous new investment
and economic development in this re-
gion, that will command the interest
and attention of the entire nation.
The south is in the spotlight and bids
fair to remain there for years to
come.

Churches Catching In.

There are questions arising today
that require for their solution the
help of all smoral forces. Churches
are finding this out.
The Federal Council of Churches
of Christ in America held it's con-
vention in St. Louis in December.
It resolved significantly that women
should have equal wages for equal
work, +" and expressed itself that "The
church has been backward in the wo-
mans cause"
'sIn the present relation Of the sex-
es, due in part to the elimination of
the movement for the freedom of
women, coincident with the econom-
ic changes Of the war, we urge that
che churches lend their.aid to the Wo-
men; that they use their utmost en-
deavors to protect the home and to
safeguard those women, particularly
those girls who go out from it into
industry; that they stand for the prin-
ciple of equality Of recompense where
there is equal service and for full.

"The Man She Married"

Dramatically effective is the five
reel production, ssThe Man She Mar
ried," which the Grand announces as
its Thursday offering. Starting with
the marriage of the heroine to a
sharper who is after her money and
who robs and deserts her, the events
are carried along to the big situation
where the woman, now the wife of a
worthy man, goes to the rooms of her
former husband in order to save her
step-daughter from becoming another
Of his victims. Although far from
novel, having received in the last
forty years the endorsement of a
number of prominent French drama
fists, the situation has lost none of its
ability to score. The preceding
threads of the plot are woven into
the authors design with skill, and the
result is a story that is theatric, but
maintains firm hold on the interest
of the spectator from first to last
reel
Gail Kane, Montagu Love, Arthur
Ashley and Muriel Ostriche play the
leading parts and give thoroughly
satisfactory approximations of their
respective roles.
