CLARA KIMBALL YOUNG TO-
NIGHT.

If there is one thing harder to tit
70 an actress than a gown, it is a
story or play. When You hear any
n say that such and such a play
lifted a certain star to perfection, you
can rest assured that that play was
written by a master genius. But OF
all stars hard to please with a film
play, Clara Kimball Young ranks
With the first. That is why she has
been so long away from the screen
Her last production was "The Feast
of Life" written expressly for her
bv Frances Marion, and now she will
pc seen in a story written by Paul
West. called "The Dark Silence
which Miss Young personally selected
because she thought it gave her
enough opportunities to do extraor-
binary work, just the kind of work
she has always been noted for.
So. then, when you see her in "The
Dark Silence" it will be n of the
best film plays in which she has yet
appeared. Her director, Albert Ca
pelham, had charge of the production,
and nothing was spared to make it
,omplete in every detail. 1t will be
shown at the Greenwood Theatre on
Wednesday, Oct. 18th. .

SUDDENLY SICK ON TRAIN.
Pathetic Occurrence Aboard Southern
Train Last Night.

AsAcS A'A9H"
A very pathetic occurrence took
place last night aboard the Southern
train from G~reenville to Winona, that
is due in Greenwood a few. minutes
after seven o'clock% A sick lady and
her husband, who have been living at
Cleveland, Miss, were aboard, bound
for a small town in the hills where
the lady's relatives live.
just after the train left Indiahola
the lady was taken very sick. 1t hap
pened that, a physician was on the
train and was called to her assistance.
A cot was prepared in the baggage
car and the sick lady was taken in
there. A strapping big boy was born
before the train reached Moorhead.
Because of the financial condition
of the parents a purse of over 500 was
made up among the passengers on the
train and presented to them. The
lady was taken off at Moorhead and
carried to a hotel. The latest reports
are that both the mother and boy are
doing nicely.
After the train left 4Moorhead a
gentleman aboard was taken sudden
ly with acute indigestion and had to
have medical attention. He was put
off at Berclair and carried to a hotel,
where he is doing nicely.

ONE BEST GUESS.

There is q man in our town
Who has tremendous ears,
There's nothing doing anywhere
But what this fellow hears.
He prances up and down the street
And peddles tales of woe,
And everywhere he stops awhile
They're glad to see him go.
He knocks his wife at break of day,
He knocks the neighbors too;
And if you're doing anything worth
while
He'll take a knock at you.
When the Echo says good things
About this public bore,
He has a crouch the whole week
through,
Because it wasn't more.
And perchance his names forgot
He gets most awful sore
And kicks and knocks and knocks
again,
With epithets galore.
We know some people hanging around
Just waiting for the day
That they may lead a willing hand
To lay this crouch away.
There is one mar that this will fit,
It may be there or more;
Just hold your peace and wait awhile,
You'll know them by the roar.

GEORGE APPROVESOF

Calls to COlOrS All Men Between

London, May 26.-The signature of King George was affixed yesterday to the British military service bill re- gently passed by parliament. In giv- ing the royal sanction to the bill King George issued the following message to the nation:
 '"To enable our country to organize more effectively it's military resources in the present great struggle for the cause of civilization l have, acting on the advice of my ministers, deemed it necessary to enrol every able& bodied man between the ages of IS and Al.

In fact, the Detroit manufacturer gives evidence that he may be in Chicago to meet Roosevelt, seeing that Roosevelt failed to pay the visit in Detroit. He may take an active part in the presidential campaign. He said, among other things on that subject, T am liable to do almost anything.

The Standard FrOCIZ,
(New York Tribune(.

The standardized car coupling makes a strong appeal to reason, and also to the familiar standardized book review of commerce has something to be said for it. But who can awake thrill at the proposal of standardized street clothes for women, mOthered by the home economics department of the G. F. of w. C.? A few skintiint husbands hO-pay-the-b bills, yes. The rest of the world will defend it's frOcks against all the armies of efficiency that can be mustered to the attack.
 It is a vital, burning, economic question, and we extend the most cor dial invitation to all interested-men, women, producers and cOnsumers-tO come and help in finding out that women are in dead earnest in want ing to save time, strength and money to put on higher pleasures than clothes can give, while properly de- siring to look their best" So speaks Chairman Helen Louise Johnson. and

 "I am confident the magnificent spirit which has hitherto sustained my people through the trials of this terrible war will inspire them to en- dure the additional sacrifice now inn posed upon them, and that it will, with Gods help, lead us and our al- lies to a victory which shall achieve the liberation of Europe"
 The military service bill, or, as it is better known, "the compulsion bill,' was introduced in the House of Commons May 3 as a result of tho failure of voluntary enlistments to reach the total the government con- s1dered necessary. There was much agitation for and against the measure. The bill provides for general and inl- mediate conpulsion and calls to tho colors all males, married or single, between the ages of IS and II. An army reserve for industrial work is also provided for in the bill and tho government may use as many Of the conscripts as it requires to maintain industrial conditions intact.

\ Poets Death,
(BOStOn Herald (.

The will of Stephen Phillips, poet and dramatist, was proved recently in London. He left about $17-or was it t17? Some one will therefore argue that the writing of poetry is a wretch ed profession; that the poet is no het- ter off than he was in the days of Grub street, when Pope sneered at the starved in garrets Morley about the state ot the man of letters in Paris and London shortly before the middle of the eighteenth century; Q beggar and an outcast. "Voltaire, Gray and Richardson were perhaps the only conspicuous writers of the time who had never known what it was to want a meal or go without a shirt. None of the three depended on his pen for his livelihood.'
 But not all poets today cultivate the Muse on a little oatmeal If Phil lips John Davidson and some others died in want, or lived in a discour- aged way on the charity of apprecia- tive readers, there are some whose fame brings them in a substantial in come. There has been as much talk about the money made by MT. Alfred Moves as about the quality of his verse. Take the case of Philips He started out bravely. His talent was at once recognized. He was aD- plauded as a true poet, "boss poit," to use the phrase of Artemus Ward Pefhaps the tributes spoiled him; per maps the craving for liquor frightened the Muse so that she forsook him.

The Home Of Blame.
Christian Science Monitor.)


 Maine's librarians want the house ill Augusta that was the home of James G. Blaine to be made the State ibrary's headquarters Thus an his toric homestead may be saved, and a State agency deserving of ampler support be given suitable place to house it's collections. MT. Blaine was a statesman interested in literature as well as an eloquent politician and parliamentarian. Gail Hamilton's writing about him, and Stanwood's biography, show that.
 He would doubtless as lief have the home used for a library center as for an antiquarian museum, indeed much rather for whatever else MT. Blaine was or was not, he was not d dweller in the past. He was ahead of his time; witness his advocacy of Pan. Americanism.
