Greater than the stage" more pow
erful than any other screen production
are but two of the enconiums showered
upon the Miracle Man" by critics of
the metropolitan press. And THE Mir
acle Man" is to be the picture at the
Strand theatre, all this week in cele-
bration of ramount-Artcraft week,
starting Monday.
THE Miracle Man" is the latest Para
mount release, and declared by critics
to be it's greatest, marking a new step
upward in pictorial Characterization. 1t
Is a picturiza ton of the famous novel
by Frank i. Packard which has been
dramatized for the stage by George M.
Cohan.
1t is a melodrama of psychology.
with great theme as it's basis, Faith
is the theme on which the great story
is built, faith in humanity.
Ordinarily it would be advertised as
an all-star production, judged from the
viewpoint of pure histrionic art. No
group of stars on stage screen ever
gave more powerful presentation of a
drama, in the opinion of critics.
There are five central actors: Thomas
Meighan, Betty Compson, j. j. Bowling
Lon Cheney and ]. M. Dumont. None of
them has ever been starred, but if their
work under George Loan Tucker in
The Miracle Man" is any criterion
they are headed to the heights.
The picture was directed by Mr. Tuck
er, and walked to find himself famous
after the picture was shown in New
York for the first time few days ago
The critics have placed him in the front
rank for his achievement in powerful
presentation
"The Miracle Man" is simple in story,
but in its simplicity lies it's strength
and it is a story not to be told in a few

The way the highway building spirit is taking hold of the people of this county speaks we'll for the future We have a people that does not believe in putting off things for some other generation to do, but believes in doing them and enjoying the benefits thereof now, We have gotten hold of the right idea of development in Arkansas at last. Only few years ago every chamber of commerce, every commer- cial club and every real estate com pany and all the newspapers preached l..u ,.yu., lie O. going after foreign in vestors to come into our state and develope our great resources for us
 We were overlooking the fact that the developers of a country are those who reap more largely of the fruits We were also unmindful of the fact that foreign capital is slow to take hold where the citizens themselves are backward Today we have come to know that the rewards are greater if we do these things ourselves. Others are still welcome, but that is secon- dary. We are going to put this thing over: we are going to build a gerater state and greater county, and we mean to be on the ground floor. That is why the highest prices being paid for land are being paid by home peo- pie. That is why that when a meeting is called to build one little road it re- suits in plans to build two or even three We are not afraid of our money here in Little River county We have learned some things. We i have quit chasing smokestacls and | gone to developing our great agricuI- tural lands. The smokestacks and the | skyline will be another result.

 While other towns of 5000 or more

Suddenly the announcement comes that we will pave our downtown streets with asphalt. and to hard sur face and curb at least long resident streets even to the outskirts of the town alongside cotton fields.

Animals Do Red
Gross Work

o course you will say they do
not know they are doing Red Cross
work. Well maybe that is so, and
then again maybe they do know it.
they are helping, and be-
cause they are alive, more soldiers
are helped in France and Russia
and more hungry children are fed
in Roumania. Here are a few Of
the animals that are helping to do
Red CROSSWORD.
In the first place there are lots
of ducks, chickens and rabbits
that are in Red Cross service in
the region of Chateau-Thierry.
They are marching in to frecon-
struct" the barn yards that have
been almost empty for several
years. They are being sent there
! by the Red Cross.
Then there are some pigs, too,
that sell themselves and make
money for the Red Cross. That is,
a club in Mississippi sells them, and
last week they sold twenty-four
cars1o Of hogs this way to a place in
st. Louis and made great deal OF
money to give to the Red Cross.
Wasn't that patriotic of the pigs ?
COut in Colorado, the prairie dogs
work too and the way they work it

quite a little money, and this mon
ely all goes to the Red Cross.
In Porto Rico, the children didn't
find any valuable animals, so they
raise peanuts and Of course they
sell them, and then they give the
money to the Red Cross.
Do you know of any other ami
mails that are helping their coun,

The Beginning aud the End

The Beginning and the End
When the war first started,
The HunsAwerec cruel hearted,
They murdered and plundered,
Till peaceful heavens Numbered.
Butewhen U5S.Rwent intowar,
She vowed she'd made them sore,
For all them thing they'd done,
Was just like the treacherous Hun.
We fought in air, on land and sea
With the allies, for Democracy,
Andgwhenswe did fight,
We fought with all our might.
Till at lastswe won the war,
And you can bet those Huns were
sore,
For did they not ask for peace,
And for the war to cease?
/ And now the Huns no longer can
say,
Well ge to Paris the list of May
The w. S. S. thatrwere so slick,
Helped the Huns to get licked.
Here my tale ends.
And back we'll send ;3,tAs
The boys so brave,
The worlds democracy
They have saved

COURSE OF THE WAR

wounded or perhaps killed right
there on that field. Then we UNI
.derstand that there is something
sacred about that ground since hui
man people just like you and me
gladly gave their lives there, be-
ilieving that the cause for which
they fought was right.
That's the way it is now with
the battle field of the Marine. 1t
was a very beautifulpplace, before
the big guns came, great big
place with little woody groves and
long green level stretches, land
cool, shady riyersides, and rolling
hills and every kind of Interesting
and attractive scenery that there
is almost,--a lovely invitings place.
History had made it sacred to
France, long before there was any
thought of another war in 1914; for
from the southern part of that
great field, Joan of Arc had come,
bringing heroic inspiration to her
ipeople.
1t is a real old field, too for in
one part of tits an immense oval
| mound, where hundreds of years
ago, as the old legend goes, the
great hordes of savages, theoorig-
inal Huns, under their. leader Atti-
la, had built themselves a fortified
ton, in their attempt to CONQUER
| Europe.
On this beautiful field on very
warm Sunday morning, the 9th of
tSeptember, the battle commenced
which the Germans hoped would be
| a "battie without a morrow, (which
means that they hoped to conquer
the French and the English and
kill so many of them that there
wouldn't be anything left for them
to do there the next day. But that's
where they were fooled, .for after
five days of daring fighting and
the brilliant leadership of General
Joffre. and General Foch and Gen.
eral French, the Germans were in
most given up the idea of a. trip to
Paris in the near future.
"A Little .Trumpeter.
There is a story told about little
French trumpetera at, this battle.
He .gaIoped toward the enemy
trenches, with his officer. ser.
Egeant.major, and about ten other
men, intention capturing a. certain
