AMERICAN IDEALS
CASH AND CREDIT
SUNK In new ERA
BY United States Senator Reed smoot
of Utah.

Americas task is not over; her
woodwork still remains to be done.
A great national, In fact a great inter
national duty, still confronts the Ameri-
can people. The cash and the credit
of the American people must be used
to finish paying for this war and to
nay for financing the peace that is here
In part and which is now in process Of
completion and confirmation in Paris,
where under the leadership of our
great President our country is imbed-
ding American ideals and American
principles into the very foundation Of
a new and a better world.
mo American who loves his coun-
try and who loves humanity and JUS
tice and right can regard his sacrifices
at an end or his duty done. We must
pay for those things we bought or con-
tracted for to make our army powerful
and to give our soldier boys the best
care possible. We must bring these
bows home and restore them to useful
occupations in civil life. W. must re-
habilitate the wounded, and train them
ard fit them for useful occupations
not for making of ~nicknacks, but for
mems work, which men a do In
spite of loss Of limbs or other perma-
nent injury. We must stand by our
associates In the war against Germany
and do our complete duty by them and
by the stricken peoples of those coun-
tries who suffered under German
hands.
Must Finish Work.
ITO do our national duty every man,
woman and child In America must
make every reasonable sacrifice. The
great work we have done md are doing
is worthy of every sacrifice. Our SOL
diers have not died merely that we
might be safe from German domina-
ton; they died for much more than
that. They died for American prin-
| ciples, world justice and world liberty,
and that a better world should result
from their sacrifice. We American
people must finish their work.
Money is a great essential for the
proper performance of Americas duty
and this money must be furnished by
the American people. They simply
lend ii to their government which gives
them In exchange securities OF unim-
p~eachable value bearing a fair rate OF
interest. Through the Liberty Loan
and through the War Savings Stamps
the United States offers every citizen,
however small his or her means and
however small his or her earning ca
pacity, the opportunity to have a part
In the nations great task. 1t is a
mighty poor American, In my opinion.
who let's this opportunity pass, who
leaves to others the sacrifice, and the
glory of Americas mission"

Quick, girls! Primp up your hair;

graceful pose, for Ell Centre is to
be visited by real count.
His Royal Highness Count Tren-
vile will arrive in this city next
week, remaining over the 25th of

royal blood of France and is making
MS first visit in this country. He is
we'll known throughout the social cir
cles abroad and is great sports
man. A pair of eyes and dimple
or two are his great downfalls.
"Why is he paying Ell Centre a
visit?" is the question being asked
by hundreds. 1t is simple to answer.
He is a personal friend of MissMiller
and is making the trip in order to
play special engagement in the
cast of "Miss Dolly Dimples," to be
seen at the Topic Theatre, February

All claims made for the unusual at
traction, "Wanted for Murder
which began a special two days en-
gagement at the Tulane theatre yes
terday, were not only lived up to,
but proved the fact that words were
utterly inadequate in describing the
many excellent points of this super
de luxe production. Filled to the
brim with rapid fire action, provid-
ing thrill upon thrill as the beauti-
full story of adventurous romance is
unfoded, the director brought into
lay many delightful comedy touches,
which lend just the proper balance
70 make "Wanted for Murder" one
of the greatest productions of all
times. 1t is a play decidedly out
of the ordinary, and it goes without
saying that all previous records for
attendance at the Tulane theatre will
be eclipsed before the close of this
exceptional engagement. "Wanted for
Murder" is one picture you cannot
afford to miss.
