Proclamation.
In this momentous period, when the
nations Of the world are confronted by
Ia crisis which involves the future of
humanity, and the United States of
america and its allies stand upon the
battlefronts as inspired champions of
the right of men to self-government
land of peoples to the free development
|of their legitimate destinies, our ma
ton is called upon to utilize its re-
sources to the utmost degree, that
the conflict into which it has been
forced by the constituencies, malignant
and insufferable policies of a ~viciously
ambitious enemy of the inherent rights
Of humanity may be brought to a tri-
umphant conclusion. That this victory
may be ours, that our patriotic young
manhood may not be sacrificed il vain.
1t is essential that all of us-every in
liyidual of the country's population
shall do his or her part in placing be-
hind our fighting men the organized
Intelligent support which is indispen-
kible to military success.
Preparations are well advanced for
putting an immense army Of the
strongest young blood of the nation
squarely athwart the path along which
1.-THE blood-drunken and power-madden-
fed imperial German government, by
brutal n relentless force, would blast
its way to domination of the world and
su%bjugation of all the free peoples of
THE world the industrial and econom-
lie of our country are being
|marshaled, organized and co-ordinated,
that u military forces may be so
equipped and supplied hat they may
accomplish the victory which we de-
pend upon them to achieve for us and
the splendid cause for which we stand.
1t is not the part, nor the desire, of
the women of the United States, who
so h%erOically have inspired the men of
their families to fight for the nation
and the noble ideal to which the nation
is committed, merely to watch, wait
and weep; it is their part, and their
desire, to assist, each in whatsoever
way she may, in the organization, de-
velopment and conservation of our re-
sources in this, the gravest time which
ever has come to the nation and the
world.
Therefore, that there may be intelli-
gent, cooperative and co-ordinated eff
fort by the women of Wyoming to this
end, 1, Frank l.. Houx, Acting Cover

It is acknowledged that the extrav- agance of modern amusement pur. veyers has been unmatched since the day of the Roman Empire. Neither Emperor or king, but the plain Amer ican citizen, William Fox, expended more than $1,O00,O00 to give the American people a holiday feast by means of "A Daughter of the Gods,'' which will be shown at the Orpheum theatre, Sunday June 10th.
 This coming attraction therefore re- presents the very top notch of pictor- ial achievement. One million dollars! Will Fox expended it all and more to carry out his Daughter of the Gods" picture-making expedition to the West Indies. A quarter of the vast sum was expended in building a magnific- ent Moorish city on the tropical isle.

 People are crowding into this or ganization first, because they see in it, as now conducted, the most effi- cient outlet for such work as they are able to do, and second, because they have heard and read enough about the effects of the war in other countries to know there is no form of help more needed than such as thus can be given.
 And the average American is be- ginning to see that every ounce of care and cultivation will be needed to carry us and our allies through the year ahead.

ican is impressed with a Red Cross program which emphasizes beets as we'll as bandages, and takes as much pride in placing it's sign in a potato field as over a tent hospital!
 Naturally, every community is go- ing to rally to aid a plan which con- templates not only the nursing and treatment of its boys who have gone to tie front, but the care and protec- tion of the families left behind and the general welfare of groups de- prived of no inconsiderable part of their man-power.
 Common sense happily has taken the place of red tape in the Red Cross and the immediate result is it's adop- ton by the people as their very own.
 Everywhere folk are gardening to raise crops for it and housewives are planning to can and dry these crops, either for use to relieve dependent families in their own neighborhood or to send away where they may be needed. And there are classes in first aid work-which may come in handy sooner, than we care to think-and the hiring of community nurses to look after the babies and sanitary con- ditions in the poorer homes, and the organizing of automobile units to serve in emergencies and every con- ceivable preparatory or preventive measure.
 Incidentally, all this work is being wisely and economically planned and undertaken. There is to be no slip shod application of relief measures. With almost military precision and thoroness community surveys are be- ing made-where not already com- pleted-and thus the Red Cross be- comes a source of information which can be of vast use in the successful conduct of the war from our side.
 The system being worked out is predicated on the belief that the test of success in such work is not its mere extent, but the character of the results. Boiled down, the real pur- pose of the Red Cross is to reduce the waste of war to a minimum. And this waste is not confined to trenches or battleships.
 Its skeleton hand is waiting to slip in through every crack of poverty or unpreparedness. Foodless larders can defeat country as quickly as powder less guns. Disease is the deadliest of traitors. And broken homes are wreckage to menace any ship of state.
 Against all these, as well as against the demon of suffering, this glorious heightened shadow of Jean Henri Du- nant is ready to wage a peaceful fight. And again to quote Baden Powell-"Women and noncombatant men have here as big a national work open to them behind the scenes as the men who are playing their part so gallantly on the stage in Flanders and elsewhere"

Miss Kellermann is the foremost exponent and exemplar of the outdoor life. Her 1.-the body is the instrument of her amasing athletic virtuesity, just as the pianist's fingers are the instruments of his skill. Her genuine love for natural, healthful activity is evidenced in everything that she says and does.
 The total number of persons that appear in this remarkable picture number 21,21S. In one single scene there appears not less than 19,744 actors. In the gnome city scenes there appears 1900 children and in the beautiful sea visons can be seen over two hundred mermaids at play. Seven camera men photographed the picture, as many as four photographing the same scenes simultaneously from diff ferent angles. 223,0O0 feet of film was exposed by the camera-men to obtain the best results and from this 10000 feet was selected and consid- cred worthy for exhibition purposes. This makes the ten reel picture beau tiful" which will be shown at the Or pheum theatre.
 "A Daughter of the Gods" is a clean picture, it is moral and as crit ics say, it is the picture beautiful. A more satisfying and artistic enter tainment can not be found today. The comic scenes cheer up the veries. grouch, while the swift action and marvellous panoramas of tropical na- ture, fairy atmosphere and feminine form devine give every spectator two and half hours of delight.
