At ALCAzAR TUESDAY

THE Soul Market" a five-act Metro
picture, will be shown as big feature
at the Alcazar Tuesday. Don't fail to
see it.
Elaine Elton, a musical comedy
prima donna, at the height of her sue
cess, becomes weary of her environ
ment. Around her she sees young
girls ever bartering their beauty and
innocence for luxury and fine clothes,
and to her it seems a veritable soul
market. Jack Dexter, a clean-cut
young man. ust out of college, and
with ample means at his disposal, falls
in love with Elaine across the foot =
lights He makes several fruitless
efforts to meet her, but is repulsed Os-
car Billings, an elderly rue, who is
financially back of the theatrical trust,
also forces his attentions upon the
prima donna.
After various attempts to bride en-
ployees around the stage door, Jack
finally succeeds in arranging to ge1
Elaine's chauffeur out of the way. He
applies for the position and Elaine en-
cages him.
The following day when Elaine is
out for drive in the country the ma
chine is wrecked and Elaine is severe
" Injured. Jack carries her uncons-
cious to the nearest house, which
pl owes to be his own magnificent couu-
try home. He cares for Tlaine very
tenderly and she begins to fall in love
with him, but believing he is only a
chauffeur, repulses him.

HARDWICK WOULD
AMEND POSTAL LAWS

Senator Hardwick, a member of the
senate committee on postoffices and
post roads, has offered an amend
ment in the senate that if enacted will
revolutionize the rural mail service.
If adopted it will clip the wings O,
the department heads in the way O.!
curtailment of mail service under the
guise of economy.
The Hardwick amendment proposes
tC extend the service to include prac-
tically every farm home in the United
States. Moreover the mail must be
actually delivered at the home or a;
crossroads not more than one-fourth
nile distant.
Standard horse-drawn routes shall
be twenty-four miles in length, ami
standard motor routes fifty miles in
length.
One important provision. aimed at
recent re-organizations of the rural
service is that motor vehicle routes
shall be established only upon the
certificate of duly qualified county au-
ihorities that the condition of the
postal roads will insure regular and
uninterrupted service throughout the
ear.
Under the plan of Senator Hard
wick, carriers recently dropped from
the service will be given the prefer
ence in the employment OF additional
carriers needed for the improved rural
ryice.

replied Mr.. Mantell, but you may say
for me, without fear of contradiction,
that Shakespeare is sleeping, so far as
I can see, very deeply"
AS Mr.. Mantell talked, his charming
and talented wife, GeneYieve Hamper,
sat beside him and entered into the
conversation with lively zest. Miss
Hamper also has signed ontract
with William Fox to appear in pictures,
ard she, too, shares in every respect
the ideas of her talented husband.
Said Miss Hamper: Yes, we both
saw the handwriting on the wall as re-
gards legitimate drama and Shakes
pearean roles, and we saw for long
time back that pictures were fast get
tug to the center of the public stage
and that they were getting to be per-
manent and lasting proposition, so we
are both extremely enthusiastic about
beginning our work"

GOV. HARRIS FRIENDS
RALLY TO HIS DEFENCE

ATLANTA, Ca, March 27.-The
friends of Governor Nat E. Harris
have laid hold of the statement ac-
credited to DR.. L. G.. Hardman in, his
Cuthbert speech favoring a four-year
term for governor, and are insisting
that Hardman's action in trying 20
deny the incumbent second term AMI
force him out of office in disregard OF
precedent, are widely at variance with
his words.
In his speech at Cuthbert DR.. Hard
man was quoted as saying that he
saw no reason why the governor
SHOULDN'T be named for four years, and
pointed out the advantages to be
gained in the way of knowledge and
experience by man holding the Office
lorg enough to get familiar with its ey-
cry detail before the time came around
for him to get busy in another cam
paign.
Governor Harris friends say thai
DR.. Hardman's line of reasoning is
splendid, but that in the light of it
they can't understand his irving to
GUST the present governor to make Il
place for himself.

of the valleys, shaded through the
bottom-lands by rows of hardy plum

The money obtained from the auc-
tons was applied to the upkeep Of
the roads; and thus, like many OF the
German highways, the Alsatian thor
oughfares were self-supporting.
The Alsatian hills were unspoiled
by the tribute-bearing tourists. Visi-

The Russian effort to penetrate
Austria-Hungary by way OF Galicia Is
almost exactly repetition or their
attempt last year. a year ago they
fought winter campaign across
Bukowina and Galicia, oyerran the
country west to the point of threaten
ing Cracow, forced three out OF TOUR
of the Carpathian passes, and when
spring opened appeared to be ready
to march VIGOROUSLY across the
plains OF Hungary to the heart OF the
dual empire. The combined German
Austrian drive through southern 20
land into the rear of the great Rus
sian army, that had fought its way
10 the summit OF the Carpathians,
forced the Russians to retreat from
their position OF vantage and they
were gradually driven the whole
length OF Galicia and back into Rus
STA Here in the Russian province of
Bessarabia the Russians appear to
nave again concentrated their scat
tered army and are again on the OIL
fensive and trying to hammer their
way into Galicia. The campaign viii
be OF the greatest interest as it Will
be the third of the present war on one
area Once the Russians nave won
their way over this ground; once they
have been driven back over the same
ground. II ought TO be familiar to
both armies now Despite valiant
claims it is probable that both ar
mics are smaller and weaker than
they were year ago. The Russians
may have as many men but the train
ed army OF Russia is mostly in leu
ton prison camps and her new army
is composed mainly of new leyies.
The Austrian army facing the Rus.
slams is 4 seasoned and veteran army
but smaller in numbers than

spect probably inferior to their

was convicted Saturday of the
murder of his two daughters Ethel
and Tessie, aged six and eleven years,
respectively, on June Of. lie will
be brought up for sentence Thurs
day.
Fudge claimed that the elder child
shot the younger and then committed
suicide. The State held that Fudge
poisoned the children and that the
older child was dead before being
shot. The State said Fudge shot the
older child in order to make the sui
eide theory plausible. Three letters
were found in the house, signed by
the. children which tended to eXoner-

FIRST INTERSTATE SHIPMENT
OF CATTLE GOES FORWARD

Jacksonville, Oct. 23. The first
interstate shipment Of cattle from

essary for all interstate movements,
even from one quarantined State to

fore transportation companies are
permitted to handle same.
The only exception to this regu-
lation is that covering movement of
cattle for immediate slaughter, which
are destined to recognized quarantine
pens at certain stockyards.
1t is quite likely that this excep-
ton will be cancelled by the govern

growing sentiment throughout the

chances on infesting free areas.

section of central Missouri have been

Did you ever see dead beat that

among all you have known, and you
have known a good many in your
day.
The dead beats cannot hold a JOB
that amounts to anything, because
their creditors will worry the life
out of their employers trying to col
Iect No one has a good word for the
dead beat. If anyone thinks OF CIV
ing the dead beat employment and
makes inquiries in regard to him.
the neople that know him only shake
tbeir heads and remark that he PROB
ABLY is a good worker
On the other hand, if he is square
hut misfortune overtakes him, finally
re lands a position, goes and calls on
his creditors and makes some ar
ran gements to pay a small amount
on his account each pay day. then
every man has good word for him
They say he was up against H. put

If all right. Everyone pats MIN Oh
the hack and he finally lands good
