Worth Dying Fore
Making OF the subscription pledges
followed stirring talk By sergt.
Verne Marshall, formerly stationed at
Camp Cody, Deming. n. NJ. but now
engaged by the government TO de-
liver patriotic addresses over the
country. Sergt Marshall, who has
seen service in France, spoke in part
as follows;
1T is difficult to be in this cafe
eating tolerabIe food, while you know
that American soldiers. some from III
Paso. are falling down in the mud in
no mans land They send back home
only one question: Are you worth
dying forT And FL Paso has sold
only one fourth OF its quota OF war
stamps and one half Of the time has
gone by.
Prove By Sacrifice.
III you sell your quota, you VIII
prove you are possibly worthy dying
for, but If you don't, the answer VIII
go back with another question mark
Even when you Oversubscribe your
quota, you only display American sa-
gaCity in investing in the best securl-
ties in the world The only way to
prove American patriotism is by sac
rifice"
The speaker then told the story Of
Sergt. Homer Givens. Of Lauderdales
Miss. who led a raiding party Of five
in no mans land The other four re-
turned, he said, and next morning a
searching party went for Givens, who
was found smeared with blood and un-
conscious in a great hole.
Last Thought or Mother.
His rifle was in one hand, while
the other held a bullet Four Ger
man soldiers were dead beside him
He was taken to a hospital and re-
covered consciousness. 10 receive a
French medal Of honor. Ny mother
would like to see thatZ" he said. and
died An army chaplain is now bring
ing the cross to the boys mother,
sgt Marshall concluded, explaining
that the story showed that the only
thought 10 the boys who are dying
over there for $50 month" is Of the
folks at home.
He called the attention Of his hear
ers to the fact that the boys IN the
trenches can never give up, and so
those at home should never give up
supporting them through Liberty
loans. war stamps and the like.
Talks on Pictures.
Robert H Poole. here in the inter
est OF William FOX's production Of
Cleopatra" a guest Of the Kiwanis
club. in his talk on the motion pic
Jure industry made several very in
terestiuE statements. among which is
the strong sentiment in Germany
against william Fox Since the max
ing OF The Spy which uncOvers the
the United states. there has been is
sued proclamation by the kaiser that
after the war all Fox productions are
TO be barred from Germany" he said
1T seems that AR Fox touched a
weak spot in the l1aiser's organization
when he made The Spy and Mr.. Fox
wouldn't let Germany have any Of his
pictures, anyway. so doesn't feel bit
bad ABOUT it, Rather. he considers
himself complimented.
Feature pictures cost big sums.
For example, in the making OF Cleo
patra.' Mr.. Fox felt that no expense
was too great to make it absolutely
authentic. Miss Bara worked for
months preparing for her most diff
cult role OF the Siren OF the Nile.
Mr.. Poole went deep into the motion
picture industry, explaining in detail
the many difficulties 20 be overcome
by the producer. In making a big pro-
duction. He told how the great pro-
ducers marketed their product in all
countries Of the world-excepting. Of
course. Germany. and how the pictures
were received by the people OF the diff
ferent nations.

Rev. 2. r. knickerbocker. who pre-
sided. announced that the picnic
would be held next Friday at a place
not yet decided, and the ktwanians

lance test, In which every member
