HIGH SALARIED MOVING
PICTURES STARS TO GO

The half-million dollar moving pic
ture stars are to be a thing of the
past if a movement set on foot by
some of the big producing companies
is a success.
Three years ago motion picture
companies WED with each other to
engage the greatest stars of the legit-
innate stage regardless of salary and
the ability to act before the motion
picture camera. The fact that there
was a vast difference between the
speaking stage and the pantomime of
the silent drama was not given a
thought.
In a short time every producing
company of any note was featuring
the fact that they had engaged high
priced star from the speaking stage

to take the leading role in their pro.
| ductiOns.
The market was flooded with pic.
lures of no merit whatever except
that they had for their leads we'll.
known Broadway faces.
Salaries jumped to an unheard OF
limit There was no limit. A select
| ed star was given a signed check and
she or he was to write in their own
figures.
One of the metropolitan stars is
said to have received over 100000 for
appearing in one production alone.
The time soon arrived where the
death of the motion picture was
threatened. The popular prices of 5
and 10 cents admission asked by
most of the picture theaters through
out the country would no longer suf-
flee to pay the rental on the films for
each day.
1t came to a point where either
the general price of admission to the
theaters throughout the country had
to be advanced or the salaries of the
picture players cut. All of this not
withstanding the fact that not one
out of twenty stars from the legiti-
mate stage were making good in mo-
ton picture work. They were prac-
tically all failure. Then came the
Universal Film Company with their
slogan, THE plays the thing" re-
gardless of who the star may be.
Their idea was to select a star that
could fill the part required. 1t
gained ground until today the entire
country is being secured by film
concerns on the lookout for types and
screen faces.
Contests are being held by we'll
known magazines in their efforts to
find new materials. Theaters are
holding contests under the direction
of large film companies and young
ladies being sent to California to ap-
pear in pictures, in their efforts to
find less expensive talent.
New favorites are appearing every
day who yesterday were unknown.
Beauty seems to be only one of the
assets. That indefinable term, "a
screen face" seems to be the one
sought for requirement

accommodating the Allies with loans
OF course the benefit has been mu-
tual, since the bonds were bought up
at low rates and the interest obtained
on loans was in every case per cent,
but this does not in any way lessen
the generosity and good will shown by
gan to accumulate as a result of the
enormous and abnormal expansion of
trade brought about by decline in out
put and export from the belligerent
countries. the question arose in Japan
as to how the surplus should be in
vested.
Japan Has Done Her Share.
"In two years the gold holdings of
Japan jumped from 353 million to 713
million yen. Some advocated its in
vestment in China, as the best way to
promote Japan's interest in that needy
country. But the leaders of Japan,
while ready to assist in the financing
of China, showed a special desire to
help the Allies. by accommodating
Russia first with a loan of so million
yen and again with one of 20 million
yen, all very quickly subscribed, while
a further loan of 200 million yen to
Russia is on the tapis. Great Britain
was accommodated with a loan of 100
million yen to adjust British credit
in the United States, to say nothing of
several millions spent in both England
and France in the purchase of Japan
ese national bonds.
THAT Japan should have thus whole
heartedly cast in its lot with the AL
lies means much for the future of the
worlds peace. There seems no room
to doubt that if the English speaking
people treat Japan in a manner to
justify its faith in them the result will
be league of nations that will make
war almost impossible; for it is like
ly that Russia and France. as we'll as
the smaller friendly nations. will come
into the same family. and stand for
justice between nations. With such
a union the militarists would have an
impossible job on their hands, did
they attempt to disturb the peace"

THIS SUPREME HOUR IN CIvILIZA-
TION MEANS A BUSINESS AC.
TIVITY IN AMERICA NEVER
EQUALLED on EARTH.

From the Manufacturers Record)
However fearful may be the burden
OF responsibility which rests upon ev-
cry heart in this country, however
great may be the sorrows which many
are facing and which all must face as
we enter upon the most fearful war in
all human history, looked at from the
viewpoint of business activity this
country has before it an area of such
unprecedented activity as to make all
periods of the past look like periods
OF dizziness.
We are preparing to throw into the
channels of trade, as rapidly as the
money can be expended, about $4,000
000 900 or $4,000, 900, 900, a sum SO
staggering as to be incomprehensible.
A billion dollars is going into the
building of naval vessels; much
larger amount will be expended on the
ships under construction and for which
contracts are being let. We are pre-
pairing to finance the Allies that their
vast expenditures, exceeding even those
o fthe last two years, shall be made in
this country for munitions and food
stuffs. for locomotives and cars and
rails and every other line of work
which enters into the carrying on Of
the war and the maintenance of the
Countries back of the war.
This situation means that to the ut
most limit of human power the agri-
cultural interests of the country will
be crowded Every acre of land that
can possibly be titled with the labor
and the agricultural implements
available will be put under cultivation,
with the certainty that prices for the
next few years, whether war continues
V or not during that period, will be
maintained at high levels. This means
an agricultural output far beyond any
thing in the past. 1t ought TO mean,
if we masure up to the opportunity. an
increase of at least per cent. in the
volume and value of our farm crops.
Connected with this will be demand
for fertilizers and for lime for agricul-
tursl purposes beyond the limit of all
existing plants, crowdipg to their ut

WELL BALANCED ROADS.

The citizens of every section, as thel
come to a full realization of what goot
highways mean, are anxious to see
steps taken to provide a thoroughly
comprehensive system of standard
roads. Sumter county citizens have
long since become convinced of the
necessity for first class thoroughfares
reaching out into every section of the
county and furnishing transportation
facilities by means of which farmers,
no matter where located, may bring
their products to market at a cost
which is insignificant compared TO
that borne by their fathers.
A well balanced, equitably appor-
toned program of road and bridge con-
struction is one of the prime objects
for which the commissioners of Sum-
ter county are now laboring, but under
the present system of financing, the
funds necessary for the carrying out Of
such program can hardly be secured
without excessive direct taxation.
The proposal to float a 100000 bond
issue for road and bridge construction
is meeting with serious consideration
at the hands of the commissioners, for
they realize that this plan offers the
only practical means of accomplishing
what every progressive. wide-awake
citizen of sumter county so earnestly
desires.
The construction of such eompre-
hensive road system as is contemplate
ed is too much of a burden on the
taxpayers under the direct system Of
taxation, although the cost Of main
tanning the completed system, once
the standard permanent roads have
been built, is met with ease by the tax
funds levied for this purpose.
Roads built with the aid OF bonds
constitute a permanent asset to any
section and posterity benefits by them
Then let posterity do its share toward
paying for the benefits it receives. This
is made possible and practical through
the bond plan such as is now being
considered by the Sumter county COM
missioners.
When all is said and done, there is
no sound argument against road and
bridge bonds for Sumter county, based
or the present program of construc-
ticn.

CALLS MEETING {
COUNTY COUNCIL
Miss Allen Smith, Home Economics
Agent, Calls Meeting for Next
Monday Afternoon.

Miss Allen Smith, Home Economies
Agent for the County, has called a
meeting of the County Council, COM
posed of the presidents of all the
Woman's Home Demonstration Clubs
of the county, to meet at her office
in the Court House, Monday after
noon, April ninth at three o'clock.
The meeting is to arrange for the
ordering Of canning supplies and the
members of the clubs or those who
expect to become members, are urged
by Miss Smith to please let her know
how many cans or canning machines
they wish her to order for them.
The manufacturers say that cans
scarce and prices are going higher
but in ordering by car load lots the
supplies can be gotten cheaper. Miss
Smith is very desirous Of placing the
order at once and as large an order
as possible.
