Union Services Through
July and August

The Methodists and Presbyterians
will hold union services each Sunday
night through July and August. The
first service will be held at the presby-
terrain church the Arst Sunday night in
July and Rev X. NJ Holland will de
liver the sermon. The next service
will be held at the Methodist church
and Rev. W. A. Role will preach the
sermon.
1t is hoped that a crowded house will
attend each of these services and that
a large choir composed of the two choirs
will sing at the union services. The
services will alternate between the two
churches and the two pastors will occupy
each others pulpit. There has been
some talk of having the union services
out on the vacant lot belonging to the
Methodist people on Main St. where
the old parsonage used to stand. The
lot is being thoroughly cleaned and
beautified now and could be easily used
Rev. K. NJ Holland will occupy his
pulpit as usual Sunday and Sunday
night.

A Big Picture

Among the few really big pictures
now being shown in the various thes-
tres of the country. The Kaiser, the
Beast of Berlin" stands out as one of
the best Everywhere it is being re-
ceved with the greatest enthusiasm

overlooking and wildly cheering various
scenes as they are flashed on the
screen. This celebrated picture will be
shown here at The Allied tomorrow
afternoon and night and again Saturday
night. Saturday afternoon special
matinee will be given for colored peo-

The Allied Improvements

c. II. McCroskey. manager of
the Allied Theatre. has this week
re-instaled his two moving picture
machines which have just returned from
the factory where he had them rebuilt
and made as good as new. At the ex-
pense of several hundred dollars he has
ordered Mazda lights to use with the
machines instead of the arc lights now
in use These are guaranteed to en-
tirely eliminate the flicker. and with
the rebuilt machines should give the
very best results on the screen.
Another very substantial improve
ment which has been ordered is a
suction fan which will be installed in
the rear of the theatre and which, by
removing the air from the room. will
give complete change of air every
four minutes.
Added 10 these very material improve
ments in service. Mr.. McCroskev is
booking a high grade of films, which
he hopes to be able TO continue, and
will continue if the patronage justlfes.

Great Importance is attached here to
the course followed by the allied and
American governments in deferring
peace settlements with Austria, Turkey
and Bulgaria until Germany also shall
surrender or be crushed. This policy is
counted upon to prevent any eleventh
hour attempt on the part of the Germans
to SOW seeds of discord among the allies.
In view of the general situation, the
