area, furnished the site for the city.
A hundred or more carpenters and
laborers, under the supervision Of
Robert Fairbanks, production man

work which covered period of one
month in necessary preparation.
With the use of four massive cleo

gallons of water were drawn from the
Sacramento River and stored in a
specially constructed reservoir at the
highest point Of the new city. Num-

reservoir were raised and the water

A n UnOrganized
Town In This Day
And Age Is Doomed

The value Of community organiza-
tion and cooperative spirit was more
forcibly driven home and emphasized
than ever before in Columbus by
Brooks Fletcher, newspaperman and
lecturer Of Marion, Ohio, in an address
at little business mems luncheon at
the Bell Cafe Friday at noon.
An unorganized town and com
munity in this day and time hasn't
a chance" declared Mr. Fletcher in
emphasizing the idea and spirit OF
cooperative effort.
He is wonderful talker, and drives
his ideas home with telling effect.
He swept everything before him in
his rapid fire talk, and made a pro-
found impression on his hearers
"Individualism in America is doom
ed; cooperative effort is imperative
for the accomplishment of progress
and achievement and the quicker
towns and communities realize this
the better it viii be for them" the
speaker declared.
Mr.. Fletcher emphasized the idea
that the need of organization and
community effort and purpose in the
smaller towns was greater than in
the larger cities. He said that the
large cities had magnetic attractions
that surpass those Of the smaller
towns and that large portion of the
people would be attracted to the large
cities without any special effort
whereas, the smaller town had to fight

AT PRINCES TWO DAYS

The management of the Princess

the United Artists Corporation that
the next production made by Douglas
Fairbanks, to be shown here during
Monday and Tuesday is the most cl-
aborate, costly and stupendous pic
ture he has ever turned out from his
California studio.
When Doug" began his picture,
Immediately after he had finished his
first United Artists release, "His Ma
jesty, the American" he called con-
ference of all of his associates at his
studio in Hollywood, Cal, and told
them his idea for the next story.
Everyone was astonished. Doug
was absolutely determined that he
was going to do something daring
and with that he insisted that every
thing from beginning to end had to
be of the most elaborate order.
He went so far as to insist in his
story that an entire city such as may
be found throughout the middle west
ern section of the United States, be
destroyed in providing one of the
spectacular punches in the produc-
ton. And the destruction was not
to be an ordinary destruction. 1t had
to be a flood. The proposition seem

PROMOTE WALKFR.

The board Of trustees Of the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College could
best serve the interests Of that insti-
tuition and the cause Of education in
Mississippi by promoting DR.. Walker,
vice-president, to the position Of pres
ident held by Mr.. Smith.
DR.. Walker has been in the A. and
NJ. College for many years. He is
among the first graduates Of that in
stitution. He has seen it grow from
humble beginnings to a position of
great possibilities.
DR.. Walker is not a politician He
is an educator. II makes little differ
ence to him what faction is triumph
ant in Mississippi, so long as the boys
and the girls of that state have OPP
portunity for thorough education. He
has the confidence of the students,
the alumni and the people generally.
The Commercial Appeal has a keen
interest in the A. and NJ. College. The
progress of the school, in spite of
political outbreaks, has been steady
Its influence is felt throughout MISS
sppi, West Tennessee and a part of
Arkansas. 1t is one of the fountain
heads from which there has been a
steady influence for better education,
better agriculture and better engi-
neering. 1t is a school from which
young men can 90 and take positions
along with the graduates of the best
institutions of this country. We
hope the people of Mississippi will
prevail upon their officials to cast
politics aside and look to merit alone
when they come to deal with the A.

of that state.--Commercial Appeal.

the fact that there was little to

DIR GARDINER IN
PATRIOTIC SERMON
Talks on Loyalty to Country,
Home and Church at
Services.

DR.. James L. Gardier preached
yesterday morning at St Pauls
Methodist Episcopal Church on the
subject Of Loyalty TO Country
Home and Church.
DR.. Gardiner said in part: THE
Bible is the greatest book in the
world. Compare the Bible 10 other
books on religion and you will find
that this book surpasses all others.
other religious books bear upon
them the marks of human dictation
but the bible bears the imprint OF
the divine. Holy men spake as
they were moved by the Holy Ghost,
and we have their record in this
greatest of all books. The bible Is
the one infallible guide to holy char
acter and holy conduct.
Now according 10 the teaching
OF this book there are three divine
institutions and il is 10 these three
l wish to call your attention this
morning-Country. Home and Church.
ION this 4th day Of July, on this
day when we celebrate the Hath
anniversary Of our independence as
a nation, it is right and proper that
we should call upon every American
NANl1tn ~ Ut lO1dA ~ tic NOuAANlg
that we proudly call our own.
Universal Sentiment.
Love for country is a universal
sentiment as old IS man. No man
can say who was the first patriot.
We know that Moses was a patriot
for he turned aside from the plea
sures and luXuries Of Egypt that he
might sacrifice himself for his own
L 1T
Jesus was a patriot for ne loved His
own land with a deep and bidinG
love. But long before Moses stood
the most cOlossel character in human
history there were patriots-men
who loved their own country and
their own race.
Patriotism is grounded then in
the very nature of man. God made
him to love his country and the peo-
pie out Of whose loins he had sprung
But true appreciation of country
only comes through a deep realiza-
ton Of the cost of ones citizenship.
Once in the days of the great apostle
Paul, n Roman Captain proud of his
citizenship said: With what great
sum obtained l this freedom.
Meaning OF Citizenship.
eff we would fully appreciate
what it means TO be a citizen of this
great Republic we must count the
sacrifices made by the men VINO
gladly gave themselves that they
might build here the freecst ana best
nation on the face of Gods great
earth. Recall, if you will. the sacrI-
fees made by the Pilgrim Fathers
who landed upon our shores three
centuries ago.
What sought they thus afar?
bright jewels OF the mine?
The wealth if seas? the spOils
OF war? they sought a faiths
pure shrine.
Ay. call il holy ground, the
soil where first they trod.
They have left unstained what
there they found-freedom TO
worship Cod.
MAY God help us today to fully
realize the price in human blood
paid that we in America might enjoy
the blessings Of freedom. God grant
that the flag for which our fore
fathers fought at Bunker Hill and
Lexington. for which the brave vet
Grams of the Civil War fought at
Gettysburg and ChattanOoga-this
flag for which our brothers fought
at Santiago and Dan Juan-and for
which our brave sons battled at
Chateau Thierry and the Argonne,
may long wave over the land of the
free and the home of the brave"

BY way Of contrast Mr. Martin
cited the religious intolerance that
prevailed throughout the world dur
