Morgan City $ Contribution
To Fourth Liberty Loan
Will Give Boys
Rifles
Quota Will Provide 1000 Weap-
ons For Soldiers "Over
There" Who Know How
To Use Them

The American soldier swears by his
rifle. Machine guns are powerful weap-
ons, hand grenades and trench bombs
may be handy at times, but when it
comes right down to real sure enough
fighting in the open, where the enemy
can be seen, give the doughboy a rifle
every time. The ease with which he can
pot leaping Boche at hundred yards
has amazed the soldiers of the French
and British armies.
and they will drive straight through to
Berlin. The boys will do the shooting,
but it is up to those who stay at home
to provide the rifles. Morgan City must
provide it's share and it will do it by
subscribing its quota and more of the
fourth Liberty loan. Do you know what
Morgan City will be doing if it sub
scribes only the minimum quota of $174,-
$50 that has been allotted to this city
1t will be putting rifles in the hands of
1000 of the boys who are offering their
lives in the cause of their country. Each
rife used by the American soldiers costs
the government $25. Every $50 bond
that you buy will put two rifles in the
hands of boys at the front-and may
be they will be Morgan City boys who
are fighting your fight 5000 miles away
from home.
Morgan City will buy 1000 rifles for
the boys over there if it only subscribes
its minimum quota of the fourth Lib
erty loan, but it will do more than that

drab. The recommendation was accept
ed by unanimous vote of the company
and the men were instructed to have their

military organization not only in name
but appearance.
Lieutenant Mulhall said he would be
greatly pleased and the members of the
company would receive military instruc-
tion of greater scope, if about forty ad-
ditional men were secured. He suggested
that each man endeavor to enroll at least
one ne wmember between now and the
arrival of the uniforms. Close to fifty
men were present at drill last night,
which enabled Lieutenant Mulhall to in
struct the company in platoon move
ments on a limited scale. The hall was
again too small for the evenings work
and the latter portion of the drill was
held on the streets
The embryo soldiers ON their public
appearances naturally make impressions
of various kinds on the watching popu-
lace. One old colored man was greatly
interested in the work of the marehers
while they were on Front street last
night. He seemed to be especially i'm
pressed with the work of Sergeant Lynch,
who in addition to lively foot work kept
singing a song about: l, 2, 3, 4. Just
before the company left that vicinity the
darky was heard to say:
"Say, don t you think that fellah can
count any further 'an fours He never
DOES say 5, 6, 7, 81"

NEW STORY PLAY

"The Silent Woman,' story of the
great Northwest, is the latest of the
forceful Metro plays in which Edith
Storey, the great dramatic star, will be
seen. This picture will be shown at the
Opera House Theatre Sunday with a
east of supporting players of correspond
ing prominence.
The screen play was adapted from the
story written by Lois Zellner and was
directed by the noted Frenchman, Her
bert Blache. It shows the happy, care
free Nan Mcdonald, "the idol of the
lumberjacks, in her quiet life as a
clerk in Hudson Bay trading post.
Here her existence is one of simple pleas
ures and helpfulness to others. Then
tragedy comes to \er. A family from
the East arrive in town, and by her good
ness to their little child she is drawn
into the home life of the strangers. Here
she learns many things-the telling of
which would wreck a woman's honor
and mans life. Against her own
happiness she keeps what she has learned
to herself How death intervenes-and
how the ungoverned passions of an un-
scrupulous man eventually bring about
her happiness is graphically shown in
this enthralling play in which the popu-
lar star is seen at her best.
The well-known leading man, Frank
Mills, enacts the role of John Lowry
while Joseph Kilgour is the unscrupulous
Clifford Me resford. Among other play.
ers of note are Lille Leslie, Mrs. Ma
thilde Brundage, Augusta Perry, Harry
Lindson, Ben Walker and John Cahill
Baby Ivy Ward, the youngest of the
Metro emotional actresses, is seen as
Little Billy, around whom much Of the
story centers.

Among them are men nationally famous

There are Zeppelin bombs, and hand

which weighs 1900 pounds. There is a
full assortment of modern American
equipment-uniforms, rifles, gas masks
and everything worn by the American
soldier as he goes into action.
