1.-THE Birth of a Race"


Is the League of Nations the long
sought ideal of world brotherhood
toward which mankind has been
working since the dawn of history?
This question can be more intel
ligently answered after seeing the
great photoplay, THE Birth of a
Race" to be shown at the Lyric
Dec. 1918. One of the most thrill
ing and spectacular of screen dramas,
it is also one of the most timely.
Every true American should see it,
in order to understand better the
forces which have been at work
throughout the history of the world.
Besides its historical theme, the pic
ture contains charming story of
love and adventure.

Gave Great Talk Last Night.

Last evening at the Grand a fair
ly good sized audience had the plea
sure of listening to Mr.. II. E. Moss,
of Davenport, one of the secretaries
of the Greater Iowa Association, an
association that is doing much good
for every community in Iowa. The
speaker opened the eyes of our peo-
pie to the propaganda that has been
fostered in the state by the l. w. w,
and others, who have made an ef-
fort to create discomfort among
both rural and urban wage earners
in Iowa, and to organize them into a
unit of the unrest element. North
Dakota is overrun with this ]. w. w.
proposition and other, agencies,
which tried to get a foothold in
Iowa, but was squelched by the
Greater Iowa Association. The speak
er last night told of a number of
things taking place in Iowa that
were almost unbelievable, and it is
time for the people of every COM
munity to keep their eyes open an
bar agitations that, are being foster
ed in different communities.
A subscription list was started
last night for the association here
and about $3.50 was subscribed. Thi3
goes to help keep Iowa clear Of these
bands Of agitators who are goiMg
about making the unrest that is ap
parent in so many places. $500 is
asked from this community and
farmers, business men and other WHO
have not contributed should do so.

 Since color is such an important item in dress. why is it not just as i'm portant to your < house furnishings :? Green is cooling, restful and relieving to the eyes The fundamental. color in your room or home is your wall paper. That does not mean that if you like bright red you must have your walls epapered with it. The paper. can be a quiet drab,N soothing buff or almost any neutral color. A single red cushion will strike that daring note that YOU will like if you are fond of red. And you will find that just that dash of. red is more satisfactory in the end than a wall or, room pa pered in that color
 ,sit is wise to choose your wall spaper with a view to looking at it for the rest of your life If you have a. quiet fsoft-toned, paper you can give Tthat touch of color you desire in a picture or two.' or a vase of the right shade. Then. you see. when you want a change of tone in your surrounding gs instead of tearing Off yeurs wall uaper Just get new set of pillow covers or change the pictures and vase
