Shiloh Notes

Shiloh is still on the map and growing upward in every phase. Our Singing Convention held at this place Sunday, October 18th, was a success and everyone en- loved themselves. We had six different classes and all did well. It was day of happiness with everyone. We had the honor of having MT. Farrar, the Farm Demonstrator, with us, who made a very appropriate talk on Food Conservation and its ne- cessities. After which Rev. H. c, Hoy delivered very touching address on the causes of war and the duties of American cltl- zens and 1 think that he caused some of our people to stop and think, that had never given the matter a serious thought before and dear readers of the ARGUS I want to say one word, in my feeble way of expressing it, that if there was anyone that did not get a new touch of patriotic fire, that they have a heart of stone, instead of flesh.
 I had the opportunity of my life on last Tuesday and Wednes- day when Bro. Hoy coaxed me off to Little Rock, in company with himself and wife, MT. Cowell of Holly Grove and Henry Johnson of Shiloh neighborhood, to attend rally of the Y. M. c. and to meet in conference with the business men of Arkansas. It was at the Marion Hotel that I heard the most wonderful. heart reaching speeches of my life, made by some of the deep- est men in the nation and by men that had had actual exper- fence in Russia and in the Philli- pine Islands. Lieut-Col. Louis J. Vanschaick related an exper- fence that he and a company of l9 sol liers had with 300 Philli- pine savageS, which made the blood stand still in almost every mans veins that heard him. After this about 300 men joined in singing America" and the walls of the Marion almost shook.
 At the close of the conference, cars were provided and our band was motored thro' Fort Logan and there we saw thousands of our noble young men Tn thelr uniforms and about their regu- lar duties. From there we mo- tored to Camp Pike. It was there that the height of our am- bition was reached by every loyal American. We motored all over the camp and stopped at the Y. M. c. A. Auditorium. We visited one of the headquarters, where they have public worship, and where they have the neces-
The Brinkley argus., 1917-11-02
sary stationery and writing desks, furnished them by the

SdTy SldlluucTy anu Wi'1'S desks, furnished them by the Y M. C.. A. From there we were led to the Cooks Training Camp, at which place we ate supper and I want to say that I never had a better meal in my life. It was plenteous, well cooked and well served. After this we were ushered to the big auditorium to witness the gath ering of the soldiers to hear Dr. Truitt speak, or rather preach, and Dr. Dea lecture on loyalty Russia. Dr. Truitt preached and at the close of his very fine sermon he made a call for every one that would take a stand for Christ to rise to their feet, and to my suprise there were about 150 up in response. It was then and there that I saw the work of the Y. M. c. A. and the urgent need of live men, for 1t is heart rendering to think that there are millions of our young men that are thrown in the diff ferent Training Camps to lose their lives probably for US, and to think of letting them go un- saved, when we can, by a very, very small sacrifice, send the gosple and the right kind of lecturer. I accompanied MT. and Mrs. Hoy to the Base Hos- pital to see the formers sister, Miss Cora Hoy, who is serving as a Red Cross Nurse. It was there that we had the pleasure of learning what is being done with the Red Cross funds which were voluntarily given by our small sacrifice. Now dear read CTS do not hesitate one minute to do everything that is in your power for those two noble causes, for we can readily see that they are the grandest in- stitutions on earth. To be a stacker means disloyalty.
 On the following Monday after our trip to Little Rock, l had the pleasure of motoring to Brinkley, in company with Bro. H. c. Hoy and his wife and Miss Kelly from Holly Grove. Bro. Hoy is Dist. Sec'y for the Y. M. c. A. and he and 1 met in con- ference with MT. Folsom, the ARGUS editor and friend, to plan for big county campaign that is being launched by the Y. M. c. A, Live men are planning big things, for this is a time for every man, woman and child to take a stand for their country. We are living in a time of his- tory and there are records being made every day. Big things are happening all the time and deep men are planning big things for time has come that man must no longer live alone, as time and opportunities are too precious, W. A. Cook.

NEW MOVIE STAR
Seen At HAWAII

William Fox sends a new star to the
Hawaii theater today in The Love
Thief" Gretchen Hartman is the
star and she is supported by Alan
Hale and a full cast of Fox favor
ties. The story is a vivid portrayal
of a woman's passion and jealousy
and from all advance information it is
ably acted and we'll directed.
The leading role Is that Of Juanita,
a Mexican girl who falls in love with
Arthur Boyce, an American army cap
tain and who, through ruse, induces
his fiancee, Clare Nelson Frances
Burnhaml, to break off their engage
ment. When the Mexican maiden rea.
Lies she cannot win the love OF
Boyce her love turns to hatred. In a
raid on a border town Claire is taken
prisoner by Juanita and the ally of
the latter, Costa. Captain Boyce goes
to the rescue but Is himself made cap
tive. There follows time of impris-
onment and suffering but finally an
escape is effected and Boyce and
Clare make tracks for the American
border.
Juanita and Costa take up the pur'
suit and in spectacular running
fight both are injured, the former
morta1ly. Boyce and Clare are re-
united.

JOYLAND CIRCUS
TO CLOSE SOON

Joyland Circus days are rapidly
drawing to a close and there will be
a number of little and big Riddles in
Honolulu who will be sadly disap-
pointed next week If they fail to visit
the Bijou theater before the nam
moth circus ring is removed.
The consensus OF opinion Of all
who have attended the Bijou during
the present week is that 1t is "the big
gest and best" they have seen in some
time. All are agreed that for mirth
there has been nothing in this cSy
since that show referred to above-15
years ago. The clowns are real clowns
and as their business is to makerfolks
laugh they do so. The horse which
is used by the riders for their bare
back performance is regular circus
horse and they are genuine bareback
riders. The trapese artists and the
jugglers and tumblers are an echo
of the circus that the old folks at
tended in their youthful days.
Even the pink lemonade has been
added during the last few days so that
the deception is complete and the
man of so may imagine himself a
youngster of Is. He hears the pea
nut vender with the same line of talk
that is ever new. The ring is the
same old ring and the performers the
same old performers. ,.r.l

film BARES TALE
OF WOMANSLIFE

One of the finest pieces of dramatic
work witnessed on the screen at the
Liberty in some months Is that OF
kathryn Williams in Out Of the
Wreck" This star, since deserving the
serial thrillers, has appeared in Hon
olulu in The Carpet From Bagdad"
and "Redeeming Love-" In each of
these she proved a big favorite and
clever actress.
Out of the Wreck" lays bare the
story of a woman's life and the story
is told only after an opposition news
paper has ferreted it out in part in a
fight against her husbands political
ambitions. The story is a good one
and lends itself admirably to the
drama, but the story is created merely
to allow the star to tell and act her
story. The drama opens with Miss
Williams as the wife of a wealthy
man and a man whose honesty makes
him feared in the world of politics.
They have a happy family and are
well contented when political ambi-
tions strike the man.
The wife's past is discovered and
she relates the story of her early
struggles for existence in a far dis
tant city, Of her meeting with a man
who was courteous and kind. their
marriage, and his downfall through
drink. He abuses her and she, in
self protection, shoots MIN with his
own revolver. She is acquitted and
determines to devote her life to mis-
sion work. Here she meets and mar
riss the real" man. -.

upon by the civic convention commit

In the first place 1t will be a

words for the first time, perhaps, the
chamber Of commerce members will
be at liberty to bring their wives or
other ladies, as we'll as men guests
they may care to invite.
But the most original idea Is that
the dinner shall be an entirely home
grown affair from soup to nuts-not
even excepting condiments. Just how
the committee plans to carry out the
idea is the committees business and
has not been divulged. The mem
bers declare, however, that they will
have q menu that will tempt the most

1t is also understood that the Boost

The dinner, as has previously been
stated. is with a view of preparing
for holding up Maui's end in the sixth

ona, was taken into custody a. few
minutes before the boat sailed Friday
morning. Police Officer Anakalea es-
corted the unfortunate girl to the po-
lice station where, on being ques'

She unfolded the story Of how her
abductor, a Filipino named Anastachio
Kostal, had contrived to take her from
her home in Laupahoehoe and, after
villainous treatment, had succeeded
in placing her aboard the boat bound
for Honolulu.
It seems that the alleged abdHc.

Mauna Kea but in some manner had
acted in a way as to excite the sus.
picions Of the police who placed him
under arrest as a Stacker. To the sta
ton he was taken, and it was during
his preliminary examination that he
made mention Of a girl. Further
questions were asked when It was II.

a girl on the steamer and was intend.
ing to accompany her to Honolulu.
Without further ceremony, he was
placed in jail and a search made of
