Gloriously Celebrated
Between Ten And Fifteen Thousand
People Here-"The Prettiest Gel
ebration Ever Given In The COun-
ty''--The "Call OF Humanity"

Near four hundred people took
part in the great pantomime in Mex
leo on the Fourth, a pageant, 1.-THE
Call to Humanity" The entertain
ment pictured symbolically the part
America and the Allies are playing
in the world-war 1t was one of the
most beautiful things ever given in
the history of the county, some said.
The pantomime was written by Mrs.
F. N. Henderson of Missouri Militia
ry Academy and Miss Maud Wallace
of Mcmillan High School.
The gathering was held on the
Missouri Military Academy grounds,
one of the prettiest spots in Missouri.
Thousands of people had assem-
bled and just as the last rays of the
setting sun were reflected in M. M.
A. Lake the Great Lakes Band play
ed the opening for the pageant
Miss Julia Tucker, with her chill
dren, Anna Margaret Burton, Eliza
beth White, Jane White, Minnie
Marshall, Media Streif, Alice Wag-
ner, Lucille Dozier, Thelma Dozier
and Elizabeth Squires, danced the
Dance of Happiness as the first epi-
sode.
When the dance was at it's height
there glided across the Lake a dark
boat, flying the flag of Belgium. Miss
Lottie Cornett as Belgium and Mrs.
]. W. Gallaher as Grief, stepped
from the boat, accompanied by FIVE
Belgian refugees. Belgium pleaded
with Humanity, describing the suf-
fering she had undergone at the
hands of the Hun invaders and beg
ged for aid.
Humanity called upon Justice,
represented by MISS Mildred Wal
lace, attended by Misses Mary Lee
Burks, Evelyn Threlkeld, Mary Mil
ler and Miriam Johnson. Belgium
stated her pitiful condition. Justice
summoned her aids--the forces
which are now utilized in the preser-
vation of just conditions in the
world. First came the warrior,
Frank Houston, representing the
fighting forces of the Nation; next,
the spirit of the Red Gross, Mabel
Threlkeld; then the Liberty Loan,
Mrs. Charles CIaybrook; War Saw
ings Stamps, Miriam Glandon; Thrift
Stamps, Willie Morris, and Food
Conservation, Elizabeth Clark. JUS

NEW ART IN P0RTRAITURE
Doretype, Recently introduced, Is In
Many Respects the Best Yet
Devised.

A new style of portrait photo
graph, the Doretype, has recently
been introduced as a means of pro-
viding a form of portrait photo
graph of rich distinctive appearance,
yet capable of being produced at a
comparatively low cost. The Dore-
type is warm-toned, thin, positive
image on glass and receives its bril-.
liancy from the material which is
used as a backing. 1t lends itself to
almost any treatment. 1t may be
backed with light-tinted papers, or
various shades of fine silk or satin,
but the most satisfactory method is
to coat the back of the transparency
with a fine gold bronze.
With edges simply bound or the
picture in a frame, most of the at
Effectiveness of the Doretype is lost.
The aim of the promoters has evil
IDENTIFY been to originate something
which in its way can be priced by
the possessor just as the daguerreo-
type miniatures were priced in their
day.-New York Times.

CAN'T CHEW TOBACCO.

Among the American soldiers who
have gone to France there has been
q decline in the American habit of
chewing tobacco, according to re-
ports, and Y. N. c. A. secretaries
who sell tobacco in canteens in
France say that modern warfare
rather than prejudice is responsible
for It. It's the gas mask that's done
the trick, they say. A devotee of the
plug is seriously embarrassed when
called upon to don the gas mask.
One southern soldier is said to have
put 1t like this: with terbacca
bitin' inside yer cheeks, the OF gas
mask anchored tween yer teeth,
mustard gas all about ye an no
chanel ter open yer mouth-war sure
