J NJ. Thomas. Emmet. Ark.
 It seems like you there is are going to rob the tax payers of this county and they have no say about it. The honest people have no protection in the courts and are forced to take the dart for protection and the next day you work on this Prescott road you will be delt with in the dark you low down
 thief The tax payers.
 r. $. At some convenient time if you think more of your job than you do of your life go ahead.
 The above note was placed in my mail box on the night of April 18th. and found there next morning by the mail carrier, who thinking it was left there by some of my family for him, started to read it, but delivered it to my son on discovering that it was in- tended for me.
 Since the gentleman who wrote it hadn't the courage to sign his name. and might have to make two or three guesses before addressing the right party. I take this method of saying if that is the way you feel about it, go ahead You can do it. of course l have no show at all when it comes to dealing with an assassin, and since ! have no desire to take the life of, even. the dirtiest murderer, l promise you that you will find me unarmed.
 l might undertake to defend myself against d man who fights in the open. but l know how hopeless the task of trying to defend ones self against Il Sneaking assassin.
 I will go on with the road work until they are ready for the coroner.
 Very truly yours.

 at a total expense of three-quarter Of one per cent, making this probably the most economically conducted campaign In the history of the country.
 Plan Evangeistlc Campaign.
 Prior to this effort for additional subscriptions and cash, however, a Southwide campaign of evangelism stewardship and emphasis upon the fundamental doctrines of religion is planned for the month of March and the first three weeks Tn April, when the churches will employ their organ ized forces in seeking to win to Chris many thousands of the 10000, ,000 people within the territory of the Southern Baptist Convention who are not diff lated with any church. A day of pray CT in behalf of the success of every item on the Baptist program for the spring and summer of 1920 has been set apart. Many of the states have al. ready got their evangelistic campaigns well under way.
 In the hope of arousing as large in. terest as possible. city-wide, county wide and associational campaigns oe soul-winning have been planned in many places. In other places. espe cially the rural districts, where the summer months are considered more desirable for eyangelistic work, the special program will be deferred until July and August. This will make 1t possible for city pastors to aid the rural pastors and thus double the evan gelistic force of the denomination.
 The program of evangelism, steward ship and emphasis upon the fundamen tai doctrines of religion Is calculated to conserve the victory achieved in the campaign for funds. Dr. George w. Truett, pastor of the First Baptist Church at Dallas, Tex, is chairman of the campaign commission, while Dr. L. R. Scarborough continues in the ca nacity of general director.

THREE STARS ARE
 SEEN AT COLONIAL

Thomas Melghan, Gloria Swanson and Bebe Daniels are combination ir- resistible With their able acting all most any story could be made accepta- ble to the photoplay public. Why Change Your Wife" showing at the Colonial all this week, is based on a story itself of deep human interest with these actors in stellar roles. It is a return engagement, but aside from that fact it is probably the best all- round picture offering of the week.
 The title question: Why Change Your Wife, is one that is answered in gripping story of married life and the problems thereof. The play is not presented with the idea of producing laughter but nevertheless it is full of situations quietly humorous. It is a case of why change your wife when you might do worse. The man in the case who does change his wife certain ly does worse. Very much so. He even learns to admire some of the traits he thought were faults in his first wife
 There are some beautiful costumes worn by the caste, especially by Gloria Swanson and Bebe Daniels. Portrayine a woman who turns from prim old fashioned clothes to the smartest oi gowns, it is really play built on fash ionable apparel.

"A MODERN SALOME"
 AT THE ALCAZAR

Hope Hamptons appearance at the Aleazar in "A Modern Salome" is in a new play fraught with surprise. The plot of the picture is a new combina- ton of dramatic situations. It can be safely asserted shat throughout the spectator is unable to anticipate what is to come, for it IS play full of un- expected twists.
 Miss Hampton is a unusual star. She possesses a personality which is most distinctly her own. As a mixture of lightheadedness with ability for deep emotion which she must portray in the role of a modern Salome. she is perfect. Above all, in story depicting a luxuri- ous woman engaged in mad pursuit of pleasure, Miss Hampton succeeds in living up to the part. In her reckless search for gaiety she seems fairly extatic in an enjoyment of it.
 As narrative of society and wealth, A Modern Salome" calls for richness and surroundings that is more than amply supplied by an able producer.
 A Sunshine comedy following the star production is a. witty satire en a would-be actress and her would be caste.

It is a Michael Neilan production and it shows throughout the touch of a master hand. Scenic effects are not spared and there is brilliant masquerade party in which there is, wonderful costuming.

What could mere man do In such a situation? 1t is indeed a prob lem, but it is worked out in this wit tiest of plays in a most unusual and laughable manner.

ETHEL CLAYTON
 AT THE STRAND

Ethel Clayton is a popular star and her admirers will not be disappointed in her latest production. "The Ladder of Lies.' showing at the Strand today. In a play which is rather devoid of situations Miss Clayton is coming nobly to the rescue with her wonderful per- sonality, and it is the appeal of the star herself that is putting the play o.er. In depicting a very seff-sacrific- ing girl. one unnecessarily so, Miss Clayton puts forth her best effort to please and succeeds with a splendid portrayal.
 The plot is set among the surround ings Of wealth. and has a pleasing bril- liance of costume and setting. good caste assists Miss Clayton in making the story interesting. Among them Irving Cummings is the usual nimita- ble wicked society man with a black heart and blacker reputation.
