COORDINATION.

DR.. Livingston Farrand, chairman
of the Central Committee, American
Red Cross. has set out clearly the re-
lation of the peace-time program of
the Red Cross to the various health
and welfare organizations of the ma
t,on---a relation that seems to be not
Particularly well understood in some
quarters.
DR.. Farrand makes it plain that the
purpose Of the Red Cross is not to
supplant or attempt to take the place
of any well-regulated and active Or
eanization such as the anti-tuher-
culosis association, or the National
Organization for Public Health Nurs-
ing-but instead to encourage and
aid such organizations to coordinate
their activities with it's own.
The old fable lauding the passive
resistance of well-wrapped bundle
Of sticks is thus turned active by DR..
Farrand, and the plan of co-ordina-
tion is put we'll to the front by the
Red Cross in preparing for its No
vember drive for members with which
to continue it's overwhelming peace
time program of service.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER Is, 1920.
CAR ORDINANCE ADOPTED.

The commission council at its
meeting Wednesday night finally
adopted the ordinance proposed al
a previous meeting, egulating the
parking of ears in tn two principal
streets Of this city. ana the ordinance
is now law. The law provides that
in Railroad avenue between Missls-
sippi and Conway streets. cars shall
be parked on the east side only, and
in Mississippi street between Cres'
cent Place and Church street on the
south side only. Cars must be head.
ed in the direction of traffic, at an
angle of As degrees to the street,
with the front wheel resting against
the curbing. The ordinance makes it
the duty of the police to see that it's
provisions are observed and its viola
ton is punishable with a fine of from
SIS to S25 or Imprisonment for a
period not to exceed 80 days. The
law is o good one and will be strictly
enforced beginning tomorrow. Its
enforcement will go a long way to-
wards reducing the danger OF accl-
dents which was ever present under
the old system of promiscuous park
ing on both sides Of the streets nam
ed .,
While engaged in seeing that the
parking ordinance is complied with
it might be well for the authorities
to give some attention to the en-
forcement Of the law, requiring cars
to carry lights at night which Is be-
ing regularly violated with impunlty.
Every night in the week ears, prin-
of the "rattle trap" kind, and
trucks. can be seen driving without
lights, through the crowded thorough
fares of the city--~a menace to ped
estrians as we'll as to other cars and
vehicles Of all kinds.
If some of these offenders were
hailed before the mayors court and
required to pay substantial fine,
they would perhaps show greater
reverence tor the law which they
seem to hold in contempt

ATTRACTIONS 4 - sss1sIlsssassss
Program for Next Week VIII Include
Brightest Stars in Filmdom.

The program for the coming
week at the Grand Theatre, will in
clude productions featuring some OF
the brightest stars in flmdom. The
following announcement to that eff
feet is printed on the back of the
program issued for this week:
"We are presenting program fo1
the coming week, which we are proud
|of. It contains galaxy of stars that
shine the brightest in the motion pic
ture frmanent. To make special
Imention of any one, would be doing
injustice to the others.
"You are acquainted with all ex-
cepting Marjorie Rambeau, and a
word for her and The Fortune Tel
ler,' will not detract from the others.
The Fortune Teller is rated as the
best RobinsonCole super-production
of the year. It is in seven reels, all
action, and directed by that great
genius, Albert Capellani, who de-
clares it to be the greatest motion
picture he has ever made.
Magnetic Marjorie Rambeau was
it's star, as a legitimate stage produc-
ton, at which time it was declared
by New York dramatic critics as one
of the greatest achievements of the
day. The picture at a private showing,
attended by the most eminent critics
of the east. proved that the screen
was it's best adoption.
''The New York Post, commenting
upon its initial production, said:
'Wrongfully accused BY her husband
her child taken from her by an un-
just law-this woman became the
slave of a drunken brute. When she
heard the all-compelling voice of
calling to her, she threw
aside the shackles of degraded life.
When Providence led her to her boy
who needed her love, she rose to
heights that only mother can attain.
Marjorie Rambeau is. wonderful in
the most souI-stirring and heart
moving dramatic moments ever por-
trayed on the screen.

pRoFITEERING DURING FAIR.

There have been many complaints
from strangers who visited the fair
regarding extortimate charges for
rooms and meals on the part Of some
of the Donaldsonville people. In
some instances the charges for or
dinary rooms without bath or modern
conveniences were as high as So and
81 per night Houses that charged
IS cents and ST per meal during the
fair Of 1919, are said to have boosted
the price to $50 this year.
OF course, this profiteering on the
part of the people will result IN
strangers giving DonaIdsonville a
wide berth during the fair. 1t not
only Injuries the reputation Of the
city and reduces the attendance at
the fair but it will finally result in
sthe loss of all patronage during the
fair to those who are guilty Of TAX
ing advantage of the necessities of
strangers. There is absolutely no
reason why any one should charge
more for a room or a meal during the

TeXarkana, April It is rumored that an option for 30 days has been given the Methodist conference, includ- ing the TeXarkana territory, for the purchase of the Pine Street Sanitar- ium. The Methodist people contem- plate establishing a great hospital somewhere in this section, preferably in TeXarkana If the deal goes through the sanitarium will be equipped with the best modern medical and surgical apparatus, and will have behind it the support and patronage of this great denomination.
 It is also deemed probable that the Little Rock conference, embracing all southern Arkansas, will join the Texas people in this enterprise, in joint own- ership and support. Of course, while it would be the property of this denom- ination, the hospital would be open to the general public.

 MgLLERTCM, OKLA. BANK
When He Attempted to Hold up Cash fer of MiiiertOn Bank Monday.
 Was Shot and Killed.

Idabel, March 31.-Millerton was the scene of another attempted bank rob bery Monday in which John Smith, an escaped convict who went from Me- Curtain county last year for robbing the same bank, lost his life. The cashier, Burrow G. Powell, was the his partner, Lynn Wood. in their trial here last fall and Smith notified Powell at that time that he (Smith) would see him later. On last Monday, MT. Pow ell got wind of Smith being in the neighborhood, and accordingly pre- pared himself for the bank robber.
 Smith. during the afternoon entered the bank and when Powell saw that he was the same man who had robbed the bank before. fred on Smith, the ball taking effect in the muscle of Smith s right arm which prevented him from his horse, but did not stop to get the horse but kept running. A posse was quickly organized and started in pur- suit in an automobile and when they came in sight of Smith opened fire. Some one of the crowd hit him in the back with a ball from a Winchester the ball entering just under his shoul- der blade and coming out at the side of his neck. Smith lived until Tues : day afternoon about 3 o'clock.
 Smith was a young man of fine ap- pearance and would have been taken as cashier of bank rather than a bank robber.
 Smith escaped from the penitentiarv at McAlister on March 3.
 We have heard Smith stole a horse and saddle in Idabel Sunday night and rode the horse to Millerton. This re- port, however has not been confirmed
