OUR LOSSES HEAVY

Our losses of men in the army are
much heavier than the public thought
and will amount to more than three
hundred thousand killed and wound
ed. Lists of from several hundred
up to 5000 are being given out daily
now, nearly a month after hOstilities
ceased. And the families of soldiers
are daily receiving kilograms telling
Of the death or injury of their boys
that occurred as long ago as two
months. There appears to be some
thing radically wrong with the sys-
tenn Of reporting losses.

you ARE INVITED

Is John the Evangelist and Prophet
of Revelation, still alive in this
world, having never died natural
death, and will he publicly appear
and prophesy to the nations of the
world? Rev. j. R. Goodpasture will.
on the third Sunday in December at
II a. m, at the Cumberland Presby-
trian church, undertake to show that
the Scriptures warrant such belief.
There will be nothing spectacular or
sensational, but calm review of the
Scriptures that seem to support the
view stated. All cordially invited to
bring their Bibles and attend

WAR NOTES BOTH
HONE AND ABROAD
Progress During the Week Bids Fair
to Assure Close of War During
Year 1919.

Both houses of congress have now
passed the new draft bill which will
quickly put the full effective strength
of the nation either into the army or
into war work. The bill drafts all
able bodied men from IS years to 45,
and those that fail to meet the re-
quirements as soldiers or are exempt
ed on account of dependents will be
subject to the work or fight order and
therefore forced to enter some essen
tial occupation. 1t is expected through
this method to be able to equip and
transport an army of five million men
to France by July list, 1919. The bill
will become a law this week and the
registration arranged for at once.
On the battle front the Americans,
French and English continue their re-
markable drive that bids fair to soon
drive the Germans entirely out of
France and large part of Belgium.
The British have broken through the
old Hindenburg line and captured
points five miles east of it. They have
reached a point farther east than the
allied armies have been since the first
German drive in the fall of 1914. Each
day finds miles Of new territory and
thousands of prisoners and hundreds
Of big guns captured. 1t is daily get
ting easier to make these captures as
the Huns are gradually losing spirit
and hope and give up much more
readily than they did few months
ago.

"HEARTs OF THE WORLD"
Players in ''The Clansman" and On
tolerance" Have Leading Roles in
New Film.

Lamar playgoers will have another
opportunity to see several Of the play
ers who made the "Clansman" and "In-
tolerance" famous, in d. w. Grifith's
latest and greatest success "Hearts Of
the World" which come to the Lamar
opera house, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, September 5, 6, z.
Matinee on Friday and Saturday.
They are Lillian Gish, Robert Har-
ron, George Siegman and Josephine
Crowell. Dorothy Gish, who plays the
part of ''the little disturber" in
Hearts of the World" and furnishes
the most lively bit of comedy in the
entire production, which has already
earned columns of praise for her in
the newspapers, was not seen in the
l"Clansman" but took small part in
Intolerance"
Her sister, Lillian, who plays "the
Girl" in Hearts of the World" and
who made the trip to the battlefields
of France with Dorothy and Robert
Harron to make scenes of the big pro-
duction, was seen as Elsie Stoneman
in "The Clansman" and symbolized
Walt Whitman's imaginary character
"out of the cradle endless rocking" in
Intolerance"
Josephine Crowell who took the part
of the Southern Mother" in "Tbe
Clansman" and the indicative Queen
Catherine de Medici in Intolerance"
is "the girls mother in Hearts of the
World"
Robert Harron who plays the male
lead "the boy" in Hearts Of the
World" impersonated the Stoneman
boy in "The Clansman" and played the
modern boy in Intolerance. His ne
mesis in Hearts of the World" is
Won Strohm (played by George Sieg-
mani villianous Hun officer and erst-
while spy. George Seigman was Silas
Lynch in 1.-THE Clansman" and the
leading villain in Intolerance"

DAZZLING PROFITS
Lamar Citizens Prepare to Startle
Financial World and Move the
Financial Mind up to the
Trillion Point,

lIulion EOiut.
The discovery has been made that
If you take a two gallon jug and fill
it with cornmeal, then pour in all the
water it will hold and plant it four
feet under the ground for a period
of twelve months it will, when dug
up at the end of that period, be found
to contain six quarts OF very high
grade whiskey, all bottled in bond and
trade-marked. After making few
calculations our Lamar financial gen.
fuses decided to establish the greatest
industry in the world right here in La
mar. They figured that this product
was worth at present drouth prices
IS per quart or $50 per jug. Now n
small calculation shows that $4,000
jugs could be planted on an acre.
which would insure a product of $780,
900. Only think of that we people who
have thought 800 per acre crops as
being valuable.
The company is preparing to in
corporate and have already secured OPP
tons on 1900 acres of previously
worthless land. which will at the quot
ed figures produce S7,020, 0O0, 900. As
the twenty millions will be ample to
cover the cost of productions it will
be seen there is a margin of seven
billions profit the first year. and by
the time the second year rolls round
the war debts of the various nations

Politics is Adjourned.

President Wilson recently announc-
ed that politics is adjourned and the
next day practically ordered the repub-
licans of Michigan to nominate his
largest campaign contributor, Henry
Ford, as their candidate for U. S.
Senator. The primary election was
held Tuesday and the republicans of
Michigan adjourned Mr.. Wilson's
brand of politics by showing under Mr..
Ford so badly that he was in the also
ran class, and in addition he had quite
a fight to get the democratic nomina-
ton.

Scissor and the Marne continues. The
Germans at some points are counter

thus far are futile in halting the alli-

and northeast Of Chateau Thierry.
Additional large number Of prisoners
