the metropolis the Goldwyn players,
led by the wistful star, went to Sara
toga at a time when the Spas sea-

Though admitting that her stay in
Saratoga delighted her most, Miss

While in Paducah the star was the
guest of a woman who was a class
mate of hers in q California convent.
While Miss Marsh was oVerjoyed by
her meeting with her childhood friend,
it was the 1atter'S two children that
made her ten days stay in the South
land the truly happy period it was.
The GOldWyn star, always q lover
Of children, was seldom without the
company of her tiny Kentucky friends.
Even when at work Miss Marsh saw
to it that little Marjorie and June
were close at hand. In return for
the happiness they gave her, the
artistic gladdened their hearts by per-

scenes in THE Racing Strain"

In the Name of Justice
BY DIR. w. IL. PITTWOOD

Those legislators at Olympia who trying to
defeat the so-called Lampng bill on the grounds OF
economy past all understanding.
would like to some of them serving in the
trenches our boys did. then they would learn what
sacrifice and justice means
In making this bill into u law they are not Civ
ing the soldier sailor boy "A red cent, but rather
quidating honest debt.
When they say that this great state of Wash
ngton ought not 10 spend the money, IL fills real
red-blooded American with disgust and contempt.
While II has been rumored that If this bill passes.
IT will be the means Of making Senator Lamping the
logical candidate for governor just defeat the bill
and see how quick the people will insist on Lamping
running for governor.
This bill has been Endorsed by all lberty-loving
and patriotic organizations all saying as in one
voice. This is not charity. but II is n debt owe.
and let us ms Ameucang pay this obligation with
something other than parades and brass bands"
The almost obsolete saying. Let George do it,
applies to our state legislature. They were hardly
organized before they as a body notified congress
of their desire that said congress pass law giving
every soldier and sailor boy a bonus
Some OF the representatives from this state in
congress wrote back and said they would be glad
to support any bill giving the doughboy n bonus.
Why. in the name of God. didn't they get busy
and introduce n bill the patriotic organizations
begged them TO do? Instead, some of them spent
hours of precious time the floor OF congress be-
coming panic-streken with fear that the United
States giving away her birthrght By taking up
the league OF nations.
How would you. Mr.. Legislator like to be
doughboy and put your life up target at $50
per?
How would you like to walow for days and
nights in a shell and hell hole?
How would you like to land in France as the
Second Washington boys did on December 81 1917
then travel for three days packed in boxcar so thick
that no one could lie down. then travel on foot for
two days in Is inches Of and when night comes
sleep IN COW stables. hen coops and such like?
Then how would you like to come back maybe
broken in health, crippled for life and be told that
If you need little charity. by unwinding a few
yards of red tape, you can get some relief from
commission
Mark well there is day of reckoning and these
same boys VIII see that you procrastnators will be
dumped into political oblivion.

the Spartans and he handed the Ahenians an aristce
to sign. 1t read 80
"You shall pull down the long walls quit all the cities
you are possessed Of keep within the bounds OF Atca
On these conditions you shall have peace provided you

them that had violated the terms of their capitua-
tom their walls still standing after the time fixed
