CONFESSION" TODAY
At THE STRAND THEATRE

Margaret Lands. noted throughout
the South and East for her marvel
Gus beauty and versatility before
the camera, is now appearing In
screen work with the National Film
Corporation. Famed throughout the
country as one of Dixie's most beau
tlful daughters, she is truly a hap
py addition to the galaxy Of stars
now in the photo play armament.
Miss Lands was born in Nash
Vile, Tennessee, and was educated
at the State University. Her first
appearance in screen work was made
in supper of Mary Pickford in one
of her most notable productions,
from which time she quickly won
her way to the hearts of the Amer
lean pubic with her charming per-
sonayity and irresistible beauty
Some OF her most recent success
es include the Knickerbocker SER
les Of plays produced by Balboa,
THE Parted Curtains" and THE
Confession" in which productions
Miss Lands has been accorded prom
inent roles. It is probable. how
ever, that her work in the last named
feature far surpasses previous efforts
for her wonderful Interpretation
Of the role accorded her, that of
Rose Creighton. Is faultless In every
detail.
"The Confession" will be featured
taday at the Strand theatre.

Another Way TO Help.

Every farmer will be asked how
many acres of drained land he has
and how many other acres of land
there are on his farm that could be
made suitable for cultivation If they
were tile-drained or ditch-drained.
When these questions are asked you,
remember that they are asked every
one of your neighh9rs. Possibly you
have a tract of land that would be
the most productive field on your
farm If you could get the surplus wa
ter out of it, but you can not do II
because, to be effective, the drainage
ditch would have to go far beyond
the borders of your own farm, would
have to be a county enterprise, and
she county has not seen fit to do any
thing about it. If that be true, several
Of your neighbOrs have land that
should be drained. If all of you teit

tunity offers, 1t win be in position
to do what it may to cur for you

Those things are fairly typical Of
the questions hat will be asked In
taking the agricultural census. In
order to answer all of the questions
Intelligently, the farmer will have to
think about the matter a little before
the enumerator calls on him. He ought
to give the enumeration the most accur.

farmers. 1t Is not too early now to
get the facts straight in your mind.

The olympic cup. about o.3 meters
high, Is made of gold. silver, crystal and

and physical education by the leading
associations. clubs, colleges. etc., of the
world II bears the date Of June 20.
1894. the time when the Olympic games
were revived.
Each year the olympic committee
chooses some association, club or college
to which the cup Is dedicated for service
rendered in the progress of sport and
physical education. In a personal letter
from Baron de Cubertin the dedication
OF the cup to the Springfield institution
was announced.
The fact that the college in IT'S short
term war work courses turned out APP
proxlrnately 700 men for physical work
in the army. and that over 500 OF the
alumni Of the institution were working
the same lines among the Allied
armies. lie one of the reasons that the
college was cited for the honor for
1920. The work OF Dean ]. Fl. McCurdy
OF. the physical training department in
France. with which Baron Coubertin was
familiar, also furnished reason for the
dedication.

Although considerable effort has
been made to do so, up to few days
ago no one had been secured in Bam-
berg county to act as chairman tor
the raising of funds for the Demo-
cratic national campaign. Until SUCH
chairman is secured, The Herald Will
gladly receive contributions for this
purpose, and will see that such tunos
are forwarded to the proper authorl-
ties. A democratic victory on NoVem-

things have gone wrong, but they
will never be remedied with the toe

easiest things in the world to do. we
all grant that there are things in Bam-

become the common custom to ex-
nress about all the criticism we are
capable of, without accomplishing a
thing.

Thursday, Sept. 80, 1920

Those who have been hoping that
the near future would see modltl-
cation of the prohibition law are
probably doomed to disappointment.
It appears to us that the country has
never been further from any letup IN
prohibition. And we believe that the
longer the prohibition law stands the
stronger it will become entrenched.
Liquor will continue to be sold IN the
larger cities, and in a more or less
degree throughout the country, but
no fair minded man will pretend to
say that under prohibition there is
not a vast decrease in consumption OF
liquor, and that is the purpose OF the
law. 1t has always been our opinion
that neither the city, county, state
nor nation needs the revenue from
liquor sales. The price is too high.
