WEAVER ISSUES CALL
FOR SHIPBUILDERS
STATE CHAIRMAN OPENS OF
FlCES IN DAWSON, AND ASKS
ENLISTMENT OF LABOR.

Mayor J. D. Weaver, who was re-
Gently appointed chairman for Geor-
gia and entrusted with the duty of
securing the enlistment in the state
of 1900 men for work in the gov
eminent shipyards, has returned
from Washington, where he went for
conference in regard to his i'm
portant work.
Mr.. Weaver is now calling for en-
istment at his Office of persons who
can fill any of the following posi-
tions: Acetylene and electrical work
ers, blacksmiths, anglesmiths, drop
forge men, fange turner's, furnace
men, boiler makers, riveters, ma
chinists, painters, plumbers, pipe fit-
tiers, cementers, and laborers of all
kinds. This is not a call for men to
go to the shipyards at once. Those
who enlist now will be placed on a
list of reserves, which will enable
them to remain at their present en-
ployment until notified by the de-
partment of labor at Washington
that they are needed in the ship
yards.
Georgia should furnish her full
quota of the two hundred and fifty
thousand men for whom the govern
ment has called to speed forward the
all important task of building ships.
The construction program has been
delayed by the rigorous winter so Sc
riously that it will be impossible to
produce the tonnage planned and
imperatively needed unless Herculean
efforts are made in the months ahead.
There are now ready seven hundred
and sixteen ship ways-three hun
bred and two for wooden ships and
four hundred and fourteen for steel
construction. Within the next two
months three great government yards
will be completed, whereupon there
will be need for sixty thousand addi-
tional workmen. All the appliances
and means required for swift and
far-reaching construction are in hand !
But there is one grave lack, the lack /.
of willing and competent labor
Enlistment began yesterday, Feb.
18th, and if you would help your
government and at the same time
secure employment call at Mr.. Weav-
er's office and sign a card.

WILLIAM FARNUM is
COMING TO TOWN AGAIN
Popular Moving Picture Hero Will
Star in "The Heart of a Lion"
Back to the blue shirt!

Back to the blue shirt!
William Farnum, in all the manly
bravery of the parts the public love
so well, is coming to town. In "The
Heart of a Lion" the stalwart Will
liam Fox star makes his reappear-
ance, bringing with him a story of
absorbing interest and excitement.
At the Palace Theatre, on Thurs
day, "The Heart of a Lion" will be
seen. 1t is undoubted that all lovers
of William Farnum will be made to
see the photoplay in that length of
time; but the print of the picture
allotted to this territory is in such
demand that no longer engagement
can be played.
''The Heart of a Lion" is taken
from a novel by Ralph Connor called
''The Doctor" Mr.. Conner, whose
real name is Charles w. Gordon, is
now major in the Canadian High
landers. 1.-THE Doctor" is one of his
best known and most popular works,
as are also "Black Rock and "The
Man from Glengarry."
The story of this magnificent pict-
ure revOlves about two brothers,
Barney Kemper (Mr. Farnum) and
Dick (William Courtleigh, Jr.) Dick
is a worthless sort of youth who does
not awaken to the realization of his
own shiftlessness until Barney
catches him making love to the wo-
man engaged to marry himself. Then
Dick reforms, studies for the minis
try, is ordained and sent to a lumber
camp.
Barney, who has withdrawn COM
pletely from civilization after the
loss of his faith in Dick, has become
physician in this same camp. When
the rough hackwoodsmen of the COM
munity attack Dick and wound him
Barney reveals his identity and does
his best to nurse his brother back
to health and life.
Two women play important roles
in this production, Mary Martin and
Wanda Petit. 1t is easy to see how
Mr.. Farnum could love them both.
