AN ENDORSEMENT FOR
 WILL DELAY FOR CHANCELLOR

We understand that Attorney Will Delay, of Pine Bluff, formerly of Oxford, lately of Cleveland, Miss, is
 in the race for election as Chancellor of the Fourth District of Arkansas.

By his own efforts-against great odds he has attained to what ever success is his-and never has he failed to engage in the cause of the common people with all his might. He delights to be known as one of them and share their burdens and he would no more shun duty, or con- done a wrong, than he would cultivate a plague.-Yazoo Countq Miss, J News. Advt

The great classic of The Arabian Nights in all its entrancing mystery, Eli Baba and The Forty Thieves" will open a three-days' run at the American, starting today at D. m.
 In the mountains near Teheran, Ali Baba, a DOT wood chopper, by chance discovers the treasure cave of a band of bandits and the fact that it opens to the mystic phrase "Open Sesame" Feeling that he has as much right to the treasure as have the robbers, he takes all he can carry and hastens home. His avarocious brother compels him to disclose the source of his wealth, but is discovered in the cave and is killed by the robbers. Nor gianna, a famous dancing girl, a slave to the owner of the in, excites Ali Babas sympathy; he aids her to es- cape and wins her affection.
 Now the chief of the robbers had Q suspicion that Ali Baba was respon- sible for his depleted treasure, so in the guise of merchant with his band concealed in oil jars, he seeks hospital ity from Ali Baba. Morgianna dis covers the robbers and cleverly dis poses of them by filling the jars with

Hearts of the World"

The masterpiece of all cinema pro- auctions is Hearts of the World" D. W. Griffiths supreme triumph, which will be shown at the Columbia theater afternon and night for the remainder of the week.
 Never again will any film spectacle have such a background for the un- folding of it's story. Griffith, in pro ducing Hearts of the World" has done more than to give the world the greatest motion picture veer produced he has given to the world an inn mortal set of views of the great strug- gle that will ever serve the purpose of history. The historical value of this film is beyond realization. Hearts of the World" is not a war picture in any sense of the word. It is a love story, old as the hills yet ever new with the war serving merely as a background.
 Lillian Gish, who starred in The Birth of a Nation" is again featured by Griffith in this play and right fully so, too. If one thought that Lillian Gish carried her part well in The Birth of a Nation" they would have to see her in Hearts of the World" to grasp the real scope of her powers before the camera. And her
