 "The Gaperon'
Edna Mayo and Eugene O'Brien Featured in Latest Essanay Five-Reeler.-Friday.

Jim Ogden, secretly engaged to Madge Hemingway, wealthy heir ess, becomes sensitive over his lack of money and breaks the engagement. In a moment of pique she marries Count Van Tuyle. After six months she returns from Europe, minus her husband. Trying to forget her error she goes to the country.
 Richard Coombs is the nearest neighbor of Madge's aunt, and he finds it necessary for his wife and himself to hasten to the city. A chaperon is needed immediately for their four daughters. By necessity they are forced to take Madge, who is still the runaway Countess Van Tuyle.
 Jim Ogden is on a canoe trip through the lakes and stops at the Coombs' camp. This is the crowning embarrassment for the chaperon. Up to the time the cook, butler and chauffeur have quit and each of the girls has opened summer Irritation.
 However, Ogden persuades Madge to take a canoe ride. Their craft striges rock and the two are mar ooned on barren island. Meanwhile the Count has followed his wife to America and with Madge's mother ar rives at the camp. Becoming suspic- ious he goes up the lake the next morning and finds his wife with Og- den. Madge escapes in his boat and leaves the two men to fight it out Mrs. Coombs returns to find her doctor who was the nephew of the old man who left Jim his mining property, a conspiracy is matched by which Jim and his associates almost lose their lives in flooded mine tunnel The ltype of man impersonated by Robert Edeson will have a storng appeal and the production which is attract ively set, typifying life in the Georgia mining district, as we'll as life among we'll l-to-do New Workers, will be found very interesting.

S5,ll0,5OO To-
Be SUBSCRIBED
FOR WAR WORK

When Or. Mott arrived in Wash
ington on his return from Russia he
was greeted With telegram from the
bureau OF finance Of the war work
council Of tie \. ". {. A. announcing
the fact that over $j.U0u.""0 had been
subscribed to tn" var work fund With
every state in In" ana lW0n cities
and towns Cooperating, says AssOCIa-
ton M"n.
When Ur Iott lott America in May
he understood that approximately 81
n""o"o would bc required to finance
the work 81 the dissertations OF the
United States in behalf OF enlisted
men. During his absence the rapid
mobilization OF troops and their dis
tributiOn TO training camps at home
and abroad so Unexpectedly multiplied
opportunities tT serve, the army and
navy work Of tn" association doubled
as COMPARED with estimates made i'll
April
The cost Of buildings advanced 81
per cent and the number Of army sec
retaries required is twice the number
provided for in the April budget. In
stead OF $300,0Uy being required for
association work among our enlisted
men overseas as originally estimated
for 1917, over $3.0on,0OO must be for
Warded this year 10 meet the cable
requests from France and England.
Careful estimates are being made as
TO the financial needs for 1911 and an
noUnCemont will be made in the OCtO-
Der issue Of Association Men as to
the budget needs of this year. If the
associations Of this country measure
up 10 their opportunity TO serve en-
listed men and if the national war
work council enter the open doors
to serve the soldiers OF France and
Russia also it is evident that at least
$4,000, Geo can be wisely expended dur
ing 1911. While waiting for the facts,
the campaign committees will con-
tinue their Efforts to raise funds.
For the first time the bureau Of
finance makes public the amount sub,
SCribed in each state. The progress
in campaign promotion as conducted
by the state committees is gratifying.
The response has been general and
most generous. About one-third of
the states planned to bring their total
up TO and beyond their goal in a spe.
cial effort in the fall months.
twenty-five states have passed their
goals. The report indicates that the
small states have been as successful
in campaign promotion as has char.
aCterized the vigorous efforts of the
larger Every state has shown a will.
'ngness to accept its share of respon-
sibility and has enthusiastically CO.
operated.

Saturdays Sermonette
BY LELAND n. TRACY,
ST. Clements Church.

I chants TO provide for it, And the
duty of all these men is, on due oc-
casion, to die for it. On due occasion,
! namely: The Soldier, rather. than
leave his post of battle. The pny.
stefan, rather than leave his post in
plague. The pastor, rather than
teach falsehood. The lawyer, rather
than countenance injustice
Ruskin then speaks of the occasion
of death for the merchant, and says:
, THE merchants function-in the
broad sense is to provide for the ma
ton. The fee is not the object of
life in the true merchant. lie has to
understand to the very roots the qGoi-
tiles of the things he deals in and
the means of obtaining or producing
it, and he has to apply all his sagacity
and energy and distributing it at the
cheapest possible price where it is
most needed" And then he adds:
Rather than fail in any engagement,
or consent to any deterioration, adul
teration or unjust and eXhorbitant
price Of that which he provides, he
is bound to meet fearlessly any form
OF distress, poverty or labor which
may through maintenance Of these
points come upon him."
To put the whole, quite simply. it
is the merchants duty to die of star.
walton rather than palm off inferior
or adulterated goods on the com.
munity, TO suffer all manner of pr.
walton rather than do his country the
dlsserHice and 6ishonor of dumping
shoddy and trash upon its market,
or of trading dishonesty upon it or
with it in any way. For the Eter-
chant and the lawyer and the preach
emo less than for the soldier-the
motto should be, Death rather than
dlshonor." The ethics of military
chivalry should be the ethics Of the
market place. No member of a COM
munity has begun to understand his
relation to that community until he is
able to aDnroUriate for himself and
to say with the Lord Jesus Christ
tnose great and gracious words. II
am among you as he that serveth. -
