WILL ORGANIZE
 BOY SCOUTS HERE,

T. c. Roberts, secretary of the boys work of the Young Mems Christian as- sociation. and acting scout-master, an- nounced last night that the organiza- tion of a boy scout troop will. be eff fected at a meeting this afternoon at 3 o'clock at the "Y". All boys inter- ested in the work of the boy scouts are urged to be in attendance at this time.
 MT Roberts has appealed to the older boys of the city for assistance and stated last night that he desired to interest the older boys in this pro- ject as much good can be accomplished by an organization of this nature, es- pecially at this time, due to the con- ditions brought on by the war.
 Mi. Roberts, who will receive his commission as scout-master within a few days, hopes to be able to organize a troop containing four patrols of s boys each, all of the members to be members of the Young Mems Chrict- ian association and it is very probable that another troop may be organized at later date.

ORPHEO TllEATER.

What do you think is a reasonable sum for fellow to have when he wants to get married? Most persons, of course, would say ham-and-egg money, the rent and enough to call in the doctor a couple of times without standing him off, but Ann said she thought an income of $40.000 year would be enough.
 Brent Brewster and she were in the garden when he put the question:. and they left right after he got his answer He was busy anyway. for he was on the trail of crook, Captain Drake, and he was also on the trail of that $40,O00. He got both. The story of his work is part of the action i'll Ely ing Colors,' the new Triangle film drama, starring William Desmond, which will be presented at the Orpheo theater today.
 Colors weren't the only thing that flew during those strenuous days Brewster came to the house as a guest, also as d detective, and remained to become rich man and a member of the family. But he earned the re- ward
 Brewster went to the rich Mir. Lan- sings home to identify the rogue who was stealing Mrs. Lansing's jewels. He found Captain Drake as house guest there. The captain was exceed mgly attentive to Mrs. Lansing. Of course, Brewster became just as at tentive to Mrs. Lansing's sister, Anne, who wanted the big annual income.
 Drake's hand slipped one day when he attempted to stroke moustache where there was none. That gave Brewster a clue. He identified Drake as a notorious jewel thief and watched for the chance to nab him. He had a hard time doing it. and his quest makes five reels of absorbing, drama in the Triangle play, Flying Colors" :"

HAUBER THEATRE.

One of the cleverest acts ever seen in this city and one which is very unnue in the fact that one of the artists has only one limb, is that pre- scented at the Hauber theatre by Ernine X Ernine. May people, who saw his wonderful exhibition of danc- ing yesterday, are wondering what kind off dancer Mir. Elnine was be- fore he lost his limb. for his misfor- tune seems to make no difference to him, either in his nature or his danc- ing.
 Billy, the bouncer, is one of the best athletes, seen here this season aud his act is full of comedy from start to finish. Several young mon from the audience attempt to duplicate his feats and their efforts bring forth much iaughtcr.
 Phillips Deveal Players appear in a clever skit, entitled "WhoOwns the Flat" and this little vehicle is full of amusing moments and clever climaxes.

 EFFECT OVERSTATE

The county chairmen or their representatives. who attended the confer epce. on their return home, according to reports, redoubled their efforts 10 per feet their organizations and put them in first-class shape for the campaign which begins on Saturday of next week.
 From many of the counties come re- ports to the effect that outside speakers will not be required. the splendid work of the chairmen and their co-workers having enabled them to secure without the aid of the state committee speakers familiar with the word who will be able to meet all requirements in that re- spect.
 This admirable condition is due in large part to the fact that Mrs. Jacobs has secured the same charmen for this cam paign who had charge of the third Lib- erty Loan campaign in their respective counties, and consequently had little diff ficulty in recognizing their old com mittees
 Among the most gratifying reports Mrs Jacobs has received is one from Mrs. J. W Watson, chairman or Bibb county who states that she is now ready to be- gin the fourth Liberty Loan campaign with a 100 per cent organization. Mrs. Carl Fuller has planned reception for the local committee at Centerville. at which time report of the state confer ence will be given by those who at tended it. Bibb was one of the banner counties in the third Liberty Lorr cam paign and the indications are that the racord made then will be repeated in the fourth campaign
