"AMERICA'S ANSWER" is
WONDERFUL WAR PICTURE
The Wnshington's Re-opening Mum.
Der Has the Hearty Endorsement
Of President Wilson as Being
Remarkable Picture.

AS re-opening feature the manage
ment of the Washington Opera House
has been fortunate enough to secure
Americas Answer" the second Of
fetal government motion picture por-
traying some of the wonderful adj
vancements our nation has made in
preparation for war in a very short
time. p
The picture has the hearty endorse
ment of President Wilson and It is ex-
pected that there will be a full house
at every performance on Thursday
In order that all may see it Manager
Russell will give one performance in
the morning, two in the afternoon and
two at night. .t
In complimenting the picture Presi-
dent Wilson recently said
at was one of the most remarkable
and one of the most satisfactory por-
trayals that we had seen of the great
task which America has performed
with Such enthusiasm and in fash
ion which cannot leave the results in
doubt"
You have read about the war. You
haye thought about the war-and
talked about it. You have cheered the
boys who left your town to serve I'm
Gle Sam
Now you are going to see the war
AS clearly as If you were over there
yourself: You are going to under
stand Americas part in the war, as no
amount of reading, thinking, talking
or cheering can possibly make you un-
derstand it!
Americas Answer" takes you right
into the heart of the world conflict,
and shows you how these American
boys, we are so proud'of, are helping
to wipe out the cruel. canker that is
cating into the vitals Of mankind.
The war becomes real issue-the
official reports" In the newspapers
are suddenly translated into actions
that lift you bodily from your seat and
make you cheer yourself hoarse.
You women who have men folks in
France will specially Welcome this op-
portunity to see Americas Answer"
A washington woman spoke for all
the women of this nation when she
said, "If they only would stop long
enough for one to scan the faces,
feel sure that I would see my boy"
Americas Answer" is the greatest
war picture ever shown on the screen
You can't afford to miss 1t.

DEMONSTRATION OF
UNUSUAL INTEREST
FRIDAY EVENING
Two Great Artists From Edison Pho
nOgraph Studios VIII Give Free
Demonstration Friday
Evening.

A very peculiar sort of entertain-
ment and one that should attract
very large audience will be that given
by Miss Marie Morrisey, contralto and
Mr.. jacques Glockned, cellist, at the
Christian Church on Friday evening.
Both of these artists make records for
the Edison phonograph and in order
to show the high quality of their rec
ord making system the Edison people
are sending these artists over the
country for such free recitals. The
artists will sing and then in the mid
die of the song stop when the machine
will take up the song. The audience
will be asked to tell which was the
actual voice or music Of the artist and
which was the machine recreation.
Because of the esteem in which
these two artists are held in the musi-
cal world and because of the rare
demonstration, 1t is expected that
there will be large audience at the
church.
The demonstration is absolutely
free and tickets are being distributed
to all who care to attend by J. t.
Kackley & Co., local agents for the
Edison.

CHRISTMAS CLUB
PAYS ITS MEMBERS
TOMORROW Big FUND
Bank Of Maysville's Christmas Club
VIII Issue Checks 20 Its Members
TOmOrrOw-New Policy Is
Announced.

The day set for the distribution of
Christmas Club checks each year is
always red letter day in Maysville.
II is one qf the busiest days the banks
experience in the year and the great
sum of money being dumped into the
hands of so many savers makes busi-
ness quite brisk for several days.
The first club to pay its members
this year is the club OF. the Bank of
Maysville. This is the original Christ
mas club of the city and has the lar
gest number Of members with the lar
gest amount of money on deposit. This
year the club will issue as usual the
Christmas colored checks which are
cashable at the cashiers windoY or
which will be cashed by most every
merchant in the city when purchases
of Christmas merchandise are made.
The Bank of Maysville Club will
change its policy considerably this
year doing away with the sliding scale
Of payment which has been adopted
and used in the past. ntheir circular
announcing the new policy the bank
says:
We have overcome all these difficult
ties this year with our "All the Year
Savings Books" You can deposit one
dollar or more at any time. YoV do
not have to make deposits on days
fixed for you but at any time that suits
your convenience. You may deposit
once a week, once a month or once a
year. Or you may only make one de-
posit and never any more and you can
withdraw your money at any time
whenever you want it. We will pay
interest at per cent. per annum, pay
able semi-annually, on the first days
of July and January, on all savings
deposits then in bank which have re-
NAMED on deposit for one month or
more. We will compound this inter-
est if it is left on deposit. We will
give you a cloth-bound book instead
of a card. These books will show all
deposits and withdrawals and your
balance in bsnk every time' asdeposit
is made. These books are about 3k
inches wide and 5h inches long and
are much more convenient to carry
than large Christmas card in an en-
velope."

WILL CLOSE CITY
SCHOOLS IF FLU"
SHOWS INCREASE
superintendent Caplinger says City
Schools VIII BE Closed VOluntar-
fly If II Is Seen Opening
Causes Spread.

Prof w. ]. Caplinger today issued
the following statement about the re-
opening of the city schools after the
lifting of the ban by the Health
Board:
1--WE were agreeably surprised at the
large attendance of our schools at the
opening Monday. When we made in
quiry we found that there we're POI
children in the city schools that stated
that they had had the influenza which
was smaller number than had ex-
pected. I am satisfied within my own
mind that the POI If changed at all,
should be made smaller as a number
they had the influenza and so answer
but l do not understand why they
would fail to report the information
as they had had it unless some few
might do that trying to avoid quaran-
tine. / want to state to the parents
that we are taking every precautfon
that we know to safeguard the chill
dren under our care and are especial
ly anxious that parents do not send
children to school If they have any
symptoms of cold that may lead into
influenza or IL they have case of it
in their home because you will most
assuredly be embarrassed by the child
being sent home If we find out that
these regulations given us by the
Board of Health are not strictly OBJ
served.
lowing to such regulations we are
not compelling pupils to attend school,
the only compulsion being in sending
some of the children home. 1t is our
/ intention of getting careful informa-
ton each day from the teachers con-
cerning the condition of the children
and If we can conclude that the OPEN
ing of schools has caused any increase
in the number of cases we prefer to
close the schools even though they
may not be forcibly closed by the
Board of Health We especially ask
the parents to dress the children warm
as we are keeping the temperature
of the rooms down below the normal
with plenty of fresh air. This is the
way it should be at all times but as n
general concensus of medical opinion
is unanimous in the virtue of fresh
air preventive, we hope to adhere
strictly to this regulation"

often see a small dog running like
the devil after a big train and then
we wonder what he would do to the
train after he caught 1t.
Since the early SOS the so-called
rrohibitionists have chased the
liquor problem" and over and over
they have caught it, but what have
they done with it?
Is it not a fact that the prohibit
tionists always offer a compromise
10 the problem?
Is it not true that these so-called
enemies of liquor invariably insist
upon provisions that Will prevent
prohibition prohibiting?
Until the Reed bone dry" law
was adopted the Anti-Saloon league
always demanded that statewide
prohibition and county or precinct
local option should permit the ship
ment and delivery of liquors for
personal use" and since the Reed
law was adopted that organization
demands the shipment and delivery
Of liquors for medicinal purposes"
Senator Reed introduced a bill
originally prohibiting the shipment
of liquors into dry" territory for
any purpose whatever. The senator
had read, thousand times doubt
less, that alcohol had no proper
place in human economy; that it
was of no value incidentally or as
a beverage; that no one could put
it into his system without injury

Has anyone in Rock Island sew
ing machine not in use?
The Red Cross wants the loan of
as many machines as Rock Island
women can spare. They are to be
placed in the workrooms Of the
Edgewood park unit, in Longfel-
low school. Seven machines are
already there; but SO enterprising
is the unit that more are wanted.
Anyone able to make such loan
should communicate with Rock Is
land GAS or telephone the Red Cross
rooms. Arrangements will be made
TO call for the machines immed-
lately.
At least one branch Of the Rock
Island chapter knows just how
much the boys appreciate the
knitted articles given them by the
Red Cross. The knitters Of Rural
township branch have made prac-
tice OF marking their work with the
name and address OF the maker. As
a result letters OF thanks have been
coming TO Rural township from
every point of the mpass-from
Great Lakes to Camp Doniphan and
back to Camp Dodge. And the boys
are all enthusiastic in their praise
of the work and in their thanks to
the Red Cross.
Interested members are urged
not to forget the open meeting to
be held in the Red Cross rooms at
s o'clock tonight. There will be
discussion Of Red Cross activities
