ORGANIZING FOR BIG
RED CROSS CAMPAIGN
COUNTY AND COMMUNITY CON-
MlTTEE cHAiRMEN HOLD CON-
FERENCE HERE AND OUTLINE
THE WORK.

r. L. Nixon, general chairman Of
the forthcoming Red Cross drive in
Lee county, called all the county
and community committee chairmen
together Wednesday for a conference
on the plans of the. big drive that
will be launched in the county on
May 20 The meeting was held in
the Commercial Club rooms and was
attended by representative citizens
from every section of the county.
The plans outlined by the national
organization were thoroughly explain
ed to the committee heads and each
man was requested to begin at once
the work of organizing his community
and getting all the machinery In
shape for the drive. Lee county is
asked to contribute $25,00O to the
Red Cross fund. A portion of this
amount will be reallotted to the local
chapter of the Red Cross and will
be used to increase the efficiency
of the chapter and to facilitate the
great work the women are now doing
for humanity.
The Commercial Club is sending
out Red Cross speakers at the COM
munity farm meetings being held
every night In some section of the
county, the purpose being to explain
to the people the various uses to
which the last Red Cross fund was
put and the urgent need for another
fund of one hundred million dollars
in order that suffering humanity
may be saved from death by starva-
ton, and that the millions of soldiers
who fall wounded upon the battlefield
may have proper medical attention
and nursing to restore them to full
vigor.

Manager o. r. Perry of the Majes-
tic Theatre has just closed con-
tract for a two days run of the
latest picture sensation, ''The Kaiser,
the Beast of Berlin" which will be
shown in Mariana on Friday and
Saturday, May "a and rs. Mr.. Perry
announces that he will begin showing
the picture at one o'clock on each
Afternoon and will run the picture con-
tinuously all afternoon and through
the night shows. The prices in the
afternoon will be 25 and 80 cents
Mus the war tax of three and five
cents. making a total cost of 2S and
55 cents. At the night shows one
price of SIS cents will be charged.
These prices are considerably under
the prices charged by the city the
atres for this picture. This week
"The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin Is
being run in Memphis, and the prices
range from 25 cents to 81.
Since the first release of The
Kaiser. the Beast of Berlin" few
weeks ago in New York. 1t has
turned away thousands daily at the
broadway theatre in New YORK,
where it played to standing roow.
Nothing of its nature has before
been given to the public. 1t Is
terrific exposure of the innermost
secrets of the imperial ruler OF
Germany, secrets which we're known
hut to a few of his most intimate
official family. The records from
which 1.-The Kaiser, the Beast of Ber-
lin" was for the most part TAKEN
are the descriptions and facts writ
ten in the private diary OF Ursula
Won Eppinghoven. for many years
hofdame to the kaiser.
In seeing "The Kaiser, the Beast
of Berlin" ones eyes will grow
misty at the peaceful scenes OF BEL
GUM which open the picture. one
will shudder and finch as the Ger

and girls, slanghtering with sworn

destruction behind them.

riot prevails when the Black Eagle
of Germany is brought down from
the royal palace at Berlin and the
flags of the allies are flung to the
