MURRAY
Money made a mess Of Yale Du-
rants lift. Seeing no necessity for
following any gainful pursuit, he
spent the years Of his youth in pur-
suit of pleasures. though without
plunging into designations which
would harm physically and mentally.
At thirty he was in the same per-
feet health, strong of body and alert
of mind, but penniless after sQuan-
dering fortune. Life seemed worth
less to him, and he decided to end
it.
As matter of fact, life really had
not begun for Yale. In the four days
after he decided upon suicide. he did
more real living than he had done
in all the proceeding 80 years. The
story of those four. days is told in
pictures by Vitagraph In "A Master
Stroke" which will be shown at the
Murray theatre, starting today for the
rest Of the week, with Earle Williams
as the star.
A point of honor compels Yale to
defer his suicide, and in his frantic
efforts to repay favor done his
father, he plunges into wild adven.
lures, escaping destruction in strange
ways by the narrowest margins, and
finds that life is well worth while
after all.

WASHINGTON

II contemplating marriage, "look be.
fore you leap" That is the little
moral whereby hangs the dramatic
tale unfolded in "a Lady in Love-" the
photoplay in which Ethel Clayton will
appear at the Washington Theatre for
the last time today.
Not that Miss Clayton, as the charm
ing heroine, advocates life of single
bliss. But she indiscreetly marries
a man about whom she knows little
or nothing and later discovers that
he not only has a wife and child liv-
ing, but also that he is a crook wanted
by the law. How she is finally res
cued amid dramatic circumstances
from her predicament through her
love for an upright young man ana
wins happiness forms the plot of this
unusually interesting film play.
Miss Clayton is supported in "A
Lady in Love" by Harrison Ford and
an excellent cast. Walter Edwards
was the director, and it is Para

Resolutions OF Respect.

Whereas Our Heavenly Father
who doeth all things we'll, has left
vacant desk in our srhool room which
never can be filled by taking away one
of our most loved pupils and school
mates, Dixie Ann Mills.
Be it resolved: That we, the teach
ers and schoolmates show our love.
honor and respect for our dear friend.
Though we know we can do nothing
to benefit the departed one; yea we
feel that we should show our apprec-
iation for the faithful work and un-
firing efforts of her, who has obeyed
the call, Come up Higher"
We realize that Wixie was one of our
best and most loved pupils in our
school room, and we condole the loss
of her cheerful presence; yet we must
bow submissively to the will of our
Heavenly Father.
We would do nothing to add weight
to the already ponderous sorrow of the
bereaved ones but rather let us speak
words of comfort and obey the COM
mand. Bear ye one another's bur-
dens."
Knowing the purity of the sweet
Christian life of Dixie, we know the
bereaved ones may feel the blessed
assurance that their loved one is only
sleeping in the Arms of Jesus, HAVING
willingly needed the call, "Come unto
me all We that labor and / will give
you rest
May Gods richest blessings and the
grace of our Lord be sufficient to COM
fort you in this greatest hour of sor-
row and may he, at his appointed time
bring each of you safely home to live
eternally with your depared ones.
Be it further resolved; that a copy
of these resolutions be presented to
the bereaved ones, copy be filed in
the school library and publication
of same be had in the Little River

HELPED TO WIN GREAT WAR
Many Thousands Of Chinese Laborers
Took Useful Part in the Re-
cent Conflict.

A little known but interesting side
light on the World war Is the fact
that China was represented in the
great conflict by 10000 laborers, of
whom 100000 worked with the Eng
lish forces. and $4,000 with the French.
They were recruited in China from
the low or coolie-labor classes in units
Of 500 men. During the early days Of
the war and up TO the middle of 1917
they We're sent In transports down
through the Indian ocean, up the Red
sea and over the Mediterranean sea
past Gibraltar TO France. But sub
marines in the Mediterranean made
travel too perilOus and the route was
changed. The balance of the 800 units
of 800 men each were then sent over
the Pacific to Vancouver, b. c., where
the Canadian Pacific would transfer
across our continent to Halifax. Nova
Scotia, and thence across the Atlantic
to France.
