PROCLAMATION.
STATE OF MISSISSIPPI.
CITY OF IUKA.

City OF IUKA.
Whereas. The Governor of Mis-
sissippi has by his Proclamation de-
signated and set apart as War Saw
ings day in Mississippi
Saturday, March %, 1918.
On which day the people of every
town and community in this state
are called upon to meet and organ
lie even down to the individual
household for the continued and
constant purchase of War Savings
Stamps during the year 1918.
Whereas, The great war for demo-
cracy and national freedom is
rapidly approaching a crisis and
hundreds of thousands of our boys
will soon be in the thick of the fight
and casualty lists are sure soon to
bring directly home to us daily the
fact that all of us are in the war.
Whereas, 1t on this account be-
lcoves us to lend every aid to the
government and the smallest thing
we can do is to save our small
money and loan the savings as they
accumulate to the government for
use in building ships to carry pro-
Visions and ammunition to those
boys so they may be able to protect
themselves against the onslaughts
of the merciless Hun.
Now, Therefore, l, F. T. Carmack.
Mayor of the Town of Iuka, Miss.
do hereby proclaim Saturday, March
%, 1918, War Savings Day in this
community and | now call upon all |
our people to join in the concerted
effort to bring this great war move
ment into the homes of the com
munity and before every individual, 4
20 the end that at the close of that
lay no person-man, woman or
:hild-can be found in this locality
who has not started his Thrift card
md pledged to continue the effort
20 save and lend to the government
throughout the year. Let there be
40 slackers in our midst. Remem-
Der that whoever is not for the
in support of the war is
gainst it, and who is against the
now is an enemy of the ]
american people.

Many men are said to be SELF
taught. No man was ever taught
in any other way. Do you suppose
a man to be bucket to be hung on
the well of knowledge and pumped
full? Man is creature that learns
by the exertion of his own faculties.
There are aids to learning of vari-
Gus kinds; but no matter how many
Of these aids a man may be sur
rounded by, after all, the learning is
that which he acquires himself.
Whether he is in college or out of
college, in school or out of school,
every man must educate himself.
And in our times and in this com
munity every man has the means oil
doing it.

of the yard and garden they are
afraid to go home until after dark
and any suggestion of the kind is
calculated to cause their wives to
add to their already arduous duties
along that line. While we are not
in the habit of retracting anything

state that it was not our intention
to advocate any such movement,
but merely commented on what

AUDITORIUM.
Girls, Fun, Laughter, Feature Photo
 piays--CIean, Progressive Amuse- ment for the Whole Family.

The Broadway Revue Musical Com edy company now playing the Audito- rum put over one of the biggest hits of their engagement, entitled Dumont's Theatrical Agency. Ginger and snap is the watchword with this company and they surely deliver the goods. The musical numbers are well put on and the chorus handsomely costumed, which is an added feature. Bill Jen- nings as Dumont the agent, is clever and pleasing. Sidney Rogers, the Jewish clam peddler, is a scream. His work ranks with the best on that line of entertainment. Peggy Carroll's mu- sical hit, the Dixie Soldier Boys, was a riot with the audience last night and seven encores were demanded and giv- en by this popular little comedienne.
 The tough" dance of the Hermans was also well received, and the produc- bright and fresh, seldom equalled in
 popular priced attractions.
 The piece will be repeated today and tonight. Thursday and balance of week Bunco and the Baby Elephant will be l the next offering and it is promised to excell in fun and frohc all previous 1 offerings.

Viola Dana heads the bill at the Breed theatre today and Thursday in Riders of the Night, a simple but deeply moving story of Kentucky, with its quaint folks and their primitive loves and hates. It possesses the nov city, however, of being a tale of the blue grass without the semblance of a feud basis. The theme instead is the struggle of the rude mountaineers to overthrow the toll gates and win free roads from the interruptions and ava ricious owner of the monopoly Miss Dana is seen in the role of Sally Cas- tleton, a daughter of the old south. Pearl White and Antonio Moreno will be seen in The House of Hate, a con-
 tinued photoplay that is brimful of
 thrills and adventure, and the best that
 Miss White has ever appeared in.
