A good place for such a flag would be near the railroad. station where people passing by on trains and also those travelling on the main highway would be given an opportu- nifty to see the colors and know that the town was patriotic. It is hoped some of the public spirited citizens will take the matter up in the near future and push hard until the neces- sary funds are secured.

Tried TO Secure
Buffers Release

An effort is being made by Attor-
ney o. G. Boggs through the circuit
court to either secure the liberty of
William A Butler, charged with kill
ing Donald Stewart October 29, or
his release from jail on bail. The
request of the defense is based upon
the claim that the verdict of the cor
oner's jury was not filed with Justice
Taylor, the evidence at the inquest
had not been reduced to writing, and
therefore the defendant had no
knowledge of why his liberty is de-
MED. It is also claimed that the evil
dence presented to the coroner's jury
or in Justice court was not sufficient
to deprive any man of his liberty,
and that by order of no court of COM
petent Jurisdiction is Butler being
held at the present time.
Prosecuting Attorney Roberts will
fight both Buffers release and his
freedom on bail, on the ground that
the man is guilty of murder and in
such a case no bail is allowed by law

Jackson Co. Men
May Be Called

In reply TO an inquiry from Sheriff
Ralph G. Jennings, chairman of the
Jackson county registration board,
Lieut.. Col. John NJ. Williams states
that it is not possible to give the
number of men Jackson county will
be called upon to furnish in the next
draft, for the reason that the federal
government has not yet issued its
second call for men. Under the first
draft the gross quota for the county
was 162. The enlistments in the
National Guard and army up to and
including June 80 were 2S3, which
gave an excess of 121. This excess,
under the law, was apportioned
among other counties not having ex-
cesses in proportion to their popula-
tion. No further credit will be given
on account of this excess, but the
county will receive credit on its gross
quota for men who enlist or have
been enlisted voluntarily in the Ma
tional Guard and army since June
80 No credit is given on net quotas
at any time From this information
it will be seen that Jackson county
will have to be represented in the
second draft.

F'Mormon Maid"
At Vining Thursday

"a Mormon Maid" the photoplay
special, which will open at the Vining
Thursday, is a stirring melodrama
that convinces and holds the atten-
tion all the way through. The main
interest is created by the theme, Nor
monism, something new in the realm
of the silent drama.
The cast includes Mae Murray. Ho-
bart Bosworth and Frank Borzage.
Miss Murray is presented as the
daughter of the settlers who is res
cued by Mormons when attacked by
Indians. Hobart Bosworth, as her
father, is brought before the Mormon
council and told he must take anoth-
er wife, the penalty for his refusal
to consent being the forced marriage
of the daughter to Mormon elder.
Although in love with Tom Rigdon,
played by Frank Borzage, Miss Muir
ray agrees to become a Mormon's
wife in order to save her father.
There are captures of the princi-
pals by the Mormon guards dressed
in Ku Klux Klan garb, best remem-
bered by the film fans from its pres
ence in "The Birth of a Nation and
hairbreadth escapes and thrilling
rides in rapid succession.

Military interest centers at present
on the Italian front, where the cen
tral powers are declared in Rome dis
patches to be developing their maxi
mum effort of the war.
The terrific struggle still finds its
focal point on the Asiago plateau
where Field Marshal Conrad Won
Hoetzendorf,' army, reinforced to
great strength, is trying to force the
passes which lead to the Italian
plains. His troops so far in the fight
ing have captured some 10000 Ital-
fans, according to the German re-
ports, and have succeeded in pushing
some distance into the Italian de-
fensive positions.
The bravery of the Italian troops
who have sacrificed themselves in
large numbers in blocking the enemy
advance has kept the holding line in
tact, however, as 1t receded. Even
the 3eaviest enemy masses thrown
against the defense, seemingly re-
gardless of losses, have not sufficied
to effect break in the chain of
strong positions in which the Italians
are now continuing their stand.
There has been little fighting in
\ me last "a hours in the other war
theatres. The Cambrai area, in
which the line has shifted rapidly as
the British and German armies
swung back and forth over it in the
last few weeks, is witnessing let
up in the intensity of the activities,
