Coming to the Alcazar for the next week are what promise to be photo- plays which will constitute most pleas ing programme.
 Opening for the first three days is clear version of Zane Grey's Lone Star Ranger" This is a story of the west, dealing with the religious way in which the men of the west regard an oath.
 Steel. as played by William Farnum, is a ranger who makes oath that he will kill members of a gang of cattle rustlers who murdered friend He reScues Ray Longstreth from two greasefS and as mark of gratitude Longstreth agrees to help him out in every way possible. He later finds that Longstreth is member of the rustlers' gang. However, after he has killed the leader he finds that Longstreth has been in his power. The gang is bnoken up and Steel marries Ray.
 The characters are well chosen and the details of the photodrama are well cared for, 1t is said His many miracu- lous escapes from death during the course of the action will keep an audience inter- ested from the start to the fitting climax "The Lone Star Ranger" is a picture in six parts, and not once in the hour of presentation is there a lag in the action.
 For Wednesday, Thursday and Friday comes "Oh Boy" not a drama, but five reels running over with fun and plu- chritude. The photoplay is an adapta- tion of the musical comedy of the same name which ran for several seasons on

The opening picture of the week at the Strand. which comes Monday for a three-days' run. is the second of Charles Rays wonderful baseball features. which sprang into instant popularity with the showing of "The Pinch Hitter. which appeared a short time ago
 The title of the new picture is "The Busher," a snappy story of the dia- mond, with a charming love story that carries one along through five reels of serio-comic entertainment
 The Busher" tells the story of small town baseball player who attracts the attention of a big league manager and lands on a pennant winning team
 His instant popularity goes to hts head and he forgets all about the sweet little girl back home. who still remembers, and won't believe that he is false. At the height of his career as a big league pitcher, he falls a victim to the wiles of a city girl. When he goes to pieces in a tight game the manager drops him, and he drifts back to the little old home town, dscoura ged, down and out, and the only friend who is there to welcome him is the little girl who-ioves him.
 soon the bush league to which his home town belongs plays a game to decide the winner of the pennant, and in a tight place during the ninth inning the young discarded player steps in and saves the game for the home team.
 It then develops that the big league

REV. WIN. MERCER
GREEN IS ORDAINED
EPISCOPAL BISHOP.
Rector Of Church at Jackson Eight
Years Is Impressively Induct-
ed Into Office.
PROMINENT AND INFLUENTIAL
MEN AND WOMEN FROM
Over State Preaent-Five Bishops
Present and Lay Hands on New
Bishop After Receiving Vows.

Jackson, Miss, May 29.-Ascen-
sion Day, 1919, marks the beginning
of the bishopric of the Rev. William
Green in the Mississippi Episcopal
diocese and hundreds of prominent
and influential men and women from
over the State were here to partici-
pate in the conservation ceremonies.
The church in Jackson, of which the
Rev. Mr.. Green has been rector
eight years, is perhaps the largest
Episcopal church in Mississippi.
Shortly before IL o'clock services
and the sermon delivered by Bishop
Gailor of Tennessee, the professional
was formed and filed into the hand
somely decorated church, occupying
front seats in the following order:
St. Andrews choir, the vestry, Prot
estant ministers, visiting clergy,
standing committee, master of cere-
monies and registrar, attending pres
byters, bishop coadjutor-elect, two
presenting bishops, the preacher,
conservation presiding bishop.
The altar and chancel had been
transformed into a bower of flowers;
ascension lilies predonminating, and
making a very attractive picture.
Prayer having been offered, Bishop
Tuttle of Missouri began the COM
munion service, and First Timothy
ia:2 was read, followed by the Nicene
creed, after which Bishop Gailor of
Tennessee delivered an eloquent SER
mon, selecting for his text Acts ii:27
and Ephesians ni:10.
At the conclusion of the sermon
the testimonials required were pres
ented, and read, after which the bish-
op-coadjutor repeated the following
promise:
SIN the name of God, amen, I, Will
Fam Mercer Green. chosen bishop of
the Protestant Episcopal Church in
Mississippi, do promise conformity
and obediance to the doctrine. dis
cipline and worship of the Protestant
Episcopal Church in the United States
of America. so help me God through
Jesus Christ. = .E-44..--ss
Prayer was next offered by Bfshon
Tuttle and the bishop coadiutor took
the pledge of his high office. He
then donned the balance of his official
garments, and kneeling, the Veni-
Creator Spiritus was sung over him
The five bishops then laid their
hands on the head of the kneelinp
nrelate and tho impressive ceremonial
was soon ended.

BETTER PAY FOR TEACHERS.
From the Ripley Sentinel.

From the Ripley Sentinel.
The movement to have teachers
paid better salaries seems to be ma
tion-wide. The subject is being advo
Gated throughout this State and in
most all other States. In this issue of
the Sentinel will be found an inter-
esting article from the Literary Di-
gest on this subject. It brings out
some good points and should have
good bearing on the subject. The big
gest thing before the people of this
State today is the education of its
masses. One of the good ways to i'm
prove the rural schools is to pay the
teachers living price for their work.
our good teachers instead of letting
them go away to find better posi-
tions elsewhere. There should be
some definite program mapped out by
those who are pushing the work for
better schools and then all should
work along tie same line so as to
bring the whole matter before the
people in way that they can fully
understand just what it means to the
future of the State.
Better salaries, longer terms and
better teachers for instance. There
should be at least three months free
school in every county of the State.
There should be State system, sup
ported by State funds. To that end
it is necessary that the constitution
of the State be so amended as to pro-
vide fair and equal distribution of
the school fund and quit wasting
thousands and thousands of dollars
in some counties while others are
struggling to have even the minimum
school term The people of Missis-
sippi should force the candidates for
Governor and for the legislature to
promise that they will favor equal
distribution and do away with the
present unfair, UNEQUAL system.
