once" So Bob, who is nothing
if not accommodating, reluctantly
babe his sweet companion all
revoir, and fastened to the court
house, with visions of a love-sick
couple awaiting a marriage IL
cense. But the office was dark;
not a person was to be found.
Still unsuspicious and trustful
he hung around for a couple of
hours, but as the midnight stroke
sounded and no one came near,
he decided to turn in"
Had he passed directly by the
house of the young lady he would
have seen a light in the parlor,
and could he have gone within
he would have found another
sutton who had fooled him
into coming down town that he
might enjoy the brown-eyed
glances and dimpled smiles Of
the lady himself. But of course
Bob does not know this, and
where ignorance is bliss, It's folly
to be wise.

Farm Work Open for Soldiers.

Farm Work Open for Soldiers.
According to specialists Of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture identified with placing dis
charged soldiers in agricultural work
Georgia, Michigan, Montana, Iowa,
Idaho, Virginia, Kansas, and Missou-
ri all are in need of skilled farm Ia
Dor. Conditions at the Army camps
where the men are discharged show
a surplus of opportunities for profit
able work and deficit of laboers.
In a word, there are men to fill them.
At Camp Upton little information
was available on farming opportuni-
ties in the New England States.
However, through the activities OF
the State and Federal Departments
of Agriculture and the county agents
complete information is now avail
able. The county agents not only
secure information about farm-labor
situations but they also assist sol;
diers in getting started right in new
communities. If there is any ques-
ton about the job being still open,
the authorities will either telegraph
or telephone for the applicant and
obtain definite up-to-the-moment in
formation. At this writing farm work
is available for all discharged SOL
diers experienced in country life.

SALVATION ARMY TO SPEND
100000 IN SOUTHLAND

Atlanta, Ca, May 3.-Assured OF
the success of the coming Salvation
Army Home Service Campaign, the
National Committee today announc.
ed that almost 100000 in cash has
been allotted to the department Of
the South for the erection of build
ings to be sued for Salvation Army
purposes. To carry out the plans, A.
Ten Eyck Brown, Of Atlanta, one Of
the best known architects in the
South, has been employed by the
Salvation Army Home Service Fund,
Southern Division Headquarters, to
prepare plans and specifications for
the various buildings which will be
erected in the South within the next
year. =. t
Almost every large city in the
South will receive an appropriation
for the erection of a permanent
home for the Salvation Army and to
further equip the local corps to carry
on their work of uplift and to help
the man "who is down but never
out" All of these buildings will be
according to Salvation Army regula-
tions, which, although simple in de-
sign, will greatly add to the beauty
of the cities in which they are to be
erected.
The Salvation Army officials in the
South have already received options
on valuable parcels of land centrally
located. These properties will be ta-
ken up within very short time and
active plans made for the erection
of the Salvation Army buildings.
The announcement of the propos,
ed expenditure of more than a mil
! lion dollars in the erection Of build.
ings will greatly add to the real es.
tate industry in the South. The
proposed plan Of the Salvation Army
brings with it the announcement
that their work in the South will be
greatly enlarged.

South Carolina, for which building
funds have been allotted and the

DAVID WARK GRIFFITH
A Brief Biography.

| ~ oEA9A A<tSBAoEAys
It falls to the lot of few men, in
or out of the theatre, to occupy the
position held by David Wark Griffith,
the dramatic genius who produced
ssThe Birth of a Nation" and other
notable works and whose supreme
! triumph, "Hearts of the World, will
be- seen here for a brief engage
ment at the Opera House, Friday
and Saturday, May 9-10th.
David Wark Griffith, or just plain
I'D. w." as he is more familiarly
known in the world of the theatre
and the cinema, is man of many
interesting qualities. He is that
rare combination Of genius and hu-
man being. His remarkable insight
into the deeper feelings of his fell
/ low men and women, an insight that
enables him to register precisely the
effects he desires, guided by his own
unconscious mind, calling to the
minds and hearts of his audience an
appeal which they cannot deny, prov
Ees him a genius, while his very hu-
man side is apparent through his
dealings with his players and with
those who come in contact with him
| in the business world of the theatre.
D. w. Griffith may be said to have
come into instant prominence thru
his s'The Sands Of Dee," one of his
earliest feature motion pictures. But
from the days of the old Biograph,
when he directed Mary Pickford and
other present-day stars then in their
making, he revealed power that
masterfully stopped at nothing to
attain his ends.
ed. W., is just thirty-nine years
{ of age. He was born in La Grange,
Kentucky, the SON of Colonel and
Mrs. Jacob W. Griffith. He is one of
five children, three boys and two
girls, and isthe only one of the Grif-
fifth family to become interested ac-
lively in the theatre. Following his
school days in Louisville, he became
an actor and appeared in many
Broadway dramatic successes. With
| the introduction of the motion pic
ture as a separate and distinct fea-
ture in theatrical entertainment, he
quickly joined the new field of en-
deavor. Not long after Griffith en-
tered the film world he became its
most prominent director.
AS to the human side of Mr.. Grif-
fifth, he is, in every sense of the
term "a good fellow" He is loved
almost to the point Of devotion by
his players and holds each in a
strong bond Of friendship and help
full understanding, hence the splen-
did "team work" in all Griffith pro-
ductions. He is, too, a man Of ex-
ceptionally strong likes and dislikes.
He loathes drones and all forms OF
laziness and inactivity, as might be
imagined from his own remarkably
active and creative force and energy.
Griffith's greatest ambition in life
was to become a writer. Those who
have seen his "Hearts Of the World"
will credit him with being one OF
the worlds greatest writers, for he
has written, through the medium Of
this production, one Of the greatest
documents of all time.
An idea of the high esteem in
which Mr.. Griffith is held by those
interested in the finer writings of the
day is gained through letter from
Francis Trevelyn Miller, of the
Board of Historians, who wrote {:
eve feel privileged in greeting you
! as the greatest Of war historians"
