GRIFFITH PICTURE
At THE WASHINGTON
THEATER TONIGHT
Newest United Artists Production Of
Eminent Screen Master to BE
Shown at the Washington
Theater Tonight.

The master screen craftsman, David
Wark Griffith, producer OF the screens
greatest sensations, creator OF the
most advanced innovations in motion
picture productions, finder and devel-
oper of the worlds greatest screen
stars, has produced another wonder
full production, 1.-THE Love Flower"
which is being heralded everywhere
as a creation of exquisite beauty,
haunting charm and spirited drama.
United Artists Cooperation recently an
nounced its release and the first show
ing of this newest Griffith production
in this community will be at Washing
ton Theater Wednesday night.
Words of the most superlative de-
gree and descriptions of the most
laudatory nature have not been found
to express in adequate terms this won
deful picture play of love and adven-
ture such as only Griffith, a master
may reveal in all its beauty, strength
and excitement. Critics have pro-
nounced it one of the most remark
able productions that has ever come
from this master hand and fans
everywhere have reveled in its beauty
and excitement and heralded 1t as a
production comparable only with the
most wonderful that has come to the
screen in the past few years.
Its theme, primarily, is an unusual
interest, interviewer with side lifts OF
intricate complications that add mate
rally to its action, its heart interest,
its suspense and its ultimate iustifica-
ton, for 1t is an unusually dramatic
story of the wonderful love Of daugh-
ter for her heart-broken father, who
being bounded to the very end of the
world, dares to plan the undoing OF
the man who is DESTROYS of bringing
ultimate disgrace upon the very light
Of her heart and soul and unhappiness
to her every thought.
Not one woman in ten thousand
would do what this daughter dared to
do to save her father Not one person
of her sex in many times that number
would have chung to the heart strings
of her parents, through their many
trials and tribuations, with every atom
of the strength of her frail body as did
this girl of nature, this child of all
that was good and true and whole
some. Gratitude is the rosemary o.
the heart, but greater love has no man
than they that would Willingly give
their life to save another. Yet this
girl. without the knowledge OF her
father. plotted to give away all that
was near and dear to her, even to the
extent of her own life. to save for hin
n few more happy days on earth
The development of this theme Mr.
Griffith has handled in a most master
ly manner. His players, headed BY
Richard Barthelmess and Carol!
Dempster are par-excellent in this
production. The settings are exquisite
wonder of exterior beauty and interior
perfection. The whole is creation OF
Griffith perfection. 1t is proving to Dc
an achievement of splendid merit
everywhere and has gathered for MI
Griffith untold praises, adding more
laurels to the many achievements he
has accomplished during the past ten

NEW ADDITION TO THE
TOWN OF WELSH


It will surprise many to learn that
all of the easy money the colered popu-
lation of Welsh has made during the
last two years of high wages is not
being blowed on the frivolous stuff,
though it is true that prosperity has
been too much for some Of them.
Early in the fall, c. NJ. Shoemaker
plotted an addition TO the colored quar-
tiers, six blocks of eight lets each, from
the south part of his farm which backs
the quarters on the north and west.
This addition is known as Sheuma-
kers addition to the town Of Welsh 1t
is interesting to note that majority OF
the lots have been purchased by resi-
dents of the quarters, who anticipate
building homes thereon. Many OF the
lots were paid for in full, while the
least payment accepted, was one-half
cash. The lots range in price from
$4,000 up.

ADVANCE APOLOGY

On account of the proposed smut
ting down of the big Diesel engine at
the power plant next week for needed
repairs and restrictions of current for
light only there seems a possibility
that the local news features OF the
Journal may be somewhat curtalled.
We are not sure of this but offer it as
an advance apology in case the paper
should not come up to the usual stan
dard. The Journal depends entirely on
electric current for the operation Oh
every machine and is therefore abso-
utely dependent upon the power plant
to operate.
We have had such excellent service
in the past that no complaint VIII IS
she from this source on account OF
the present necessary shut down OF the
plant and we trust that every patron
| of the plant will take the same lioeral
view of the matter.
We are informed that the old engine
will be operated to furnish lights only
The best it can do is to furnish limit
ed amount of lights, so if anyone IN
dertakes to hog the juice" disaster
will fall to all of us and old John D.
will reap another harvest ~

REEVE-GERMANY.

The following account of the mar
rtage of Mr.. Ralph Reeve and Miss
Mary James Germany, which occurred
at Pond Greek, Oklahoma, December
21st, 1920, is taken from the Grant
County Vidette, Pond Creek, Okla:
Wedding Bells and Christmas Bells
chimed merrily together in Pond Greek
Tuesday evening, December, twenty
first. The occasion was the marriage
of Miss Mary James Germany to Mr.
Ralph Reeve at the Methodist Episco-
pal Parsonage.
The house was beautifully decorated
in Christmas green's and few friends
and neighbors had been asked to wit
ness the ceremony.
At the appointed time Mrs. T. E.
Webb played Mendelson's Wedding
March and the bridal party took its
station in the living room. Rev. T. E.
Webb was followed by Miss Louise
and Master Louise each bearing a hugh
chrysanthemum on which lay a wed
ding ring. Miss Alma Rowland and
Mr.. Ernest MinShall as bridesmaid
and best man, came next. Then follow
ed the bride and groom.
Then Rev Webb united these two
till death do US part, using the beau
tiful double ring ceremony. AS the
two young people took their VOWS, Mrs.
Webb played THE Flower Song"
Immediately after the wedding heart
y congratulations were extended to Mr..
and Mrs. Reeve. Then Miss Pauline
Logston sang 81 Love You Truly" in
her usually charming way. During the
singing of this solo, ice cream and
that most delectable dainty, wedding
cake, were served.
Mrs. Reeve came to Pond Creek
last May. She is dughter of the late
R. q. Germany and a sister of Mrs. T.
f. Webb of this city. AS a graduate of
the New England Conservatory Of
Music at Boston, she was one of Pond
Creeks most talented music teachers.
Her CHEEKY disposition has endeared
her to all acquaintance and she will
be sadly missed in our church, school,
and social circles.
The bride was gowned very becom-
ingly in brown charmeuse heavily en-
broidered in contrasting colOrS.
Mr.. Reeve is a prominent business
man of Welsh, Louisiana. Those who
met him while he was in Pond Creek
are sure that he has those sterling
qualities which will make him a true
husband.
The happy couple left on the Fire
fly" that evening for AmbOy, Illinois,
to spend Christmas with the grOOmS
relatives. From there they will go to
! Brookh2ven, Mississippi, for a short
visit with Mrs. Reeves mother, and,
after the first of the year they will be
at home in Welsh, Louisiana.
The best wishes of the people OF
Pond Creek go with them to their new
home,

GOVERNMENT HAS A NEW
PLAN TO CREATE CAPITAL

| A national DoIIar-a-week club with
a million members is the program of
I the Government for 1921 ,,as announced
in letter from William Mather Lewis
/ Director of the Savings Division of the
/ Treasury Department to Silas w. Dav,
is, the Director of that Organization
for the Sixth Federal Reserve District
A million savers at a dollar a week
will create fifty-two millions of new
capital by the end of the year and that
is to be the nucleus of a vast move
ment which will include Savings clubs
in S., $25., 800, and $1,000 sums.
To start the DOllar-a-week club, the
Treasury Department will issue new
security-the 81. Treasury Stamp-a
,nOn-interest bearing security, which
may be used to build up to either the
S.. War Savings Stamp or the Treas
Jury Savings Certificate in denomina-
tons of $25., 500. and 81 900, all bear
ing interest at the rate of 4 per cent.
compounded quarterly.
This Dollar-a,week Club saving fifty
two million a year is only start. Even
in war times when the people were
subscribing for more than twenty bill
lions in bonds, they took a round bill
lion in Saving Stamps and Certificates.
In some states One-thiTd to two-thirds
of the entire population have savings
accounts and the average deposit in
many of them runs above $500. Saw
ings of the people largely finance the
railways and great financial institu
tons, whose stock to the extent of
several billions is held by savings
banks.
1t is to these savings of the masses
that statesmen look to put the world
on its feet again. The French peasants
did that for France in 1871, and with
their example before them, the tOiling
masses of the world are to perform the
same service for the whole civilized
world.
TIL G overnment contributes power
fully to this movement by its series
of Savings Stamps and Certificates,
which may be had up to 500 at any
first, second or third class post office.
The Savings Certificates in $1,000 de-
nominations write Silas w. Davis,
Government Director, Rhodes Build
ing, Atlanta, Ga.

CORRESPONDENTS for country paper

Correspondents for country papers
have recently begun the general use OF

about trying it on any of our friends

which we can try this expression quite
appropriately, one who should have
no reason to become offended. Here

In Loving Remembrance,

The King came down to our garden
fair
In the early Friday morn,
And gathered the sweetest flower
| there
Twas rose without a thorn.
| We dared not ask that He would spare
! The flower We loved so well,
For in the heavenly garden rare,
Twas fitted bestt to dwell.
But We watched through mist of blind
ing tears
AS he bore our treasure away,
And we trust that He who hears our
prayers,
Will give us strength to-day.
For the void that is left He only knows
Who gave and who took away,
He only can lift the shadow that
throws,
It's gloom on our path to-day.
The funeral services for little
Evan Thomas, son of Mr. and Mrs. T.
E. Todd, was held at their home, Jan.
list. Reyerand Brown conducted a most
impressive service.
Little Evan was years, months
2 days old, and had endcared himself
to the hearts of all who knew him.
His illness was of nine days dura-
ton and his suffering was very great,
yet, he. was uncommonly patient.
When ask by the loved ones who
were by him, he would say, I'm all
right now" A few hours before his
death, being worn out from suffering
and loss of sleep, he said, 81 want to
go to bed, ! want to lie down." and
soon he fell asleep in Juses' arms.
Sleep little Evan sleep,
Repose on Juses arm
Our hearts are sore bereft,
But thou art free from harm.
Dream little Evan, dream, beneath thy
little mound
Whilst We with bitter tears bestrew
the followed ground
Dream that in some future day We all
may meet again.
Where there's no parting, where there
is no pain.
Sleep little Evan, sleep, in the Eternal
rest
God gave - He taketh away - He
knowth best.
Little Evan departed this life Dec
ember 81, 1920. He leaves behind a
bereaved father and mother, two sis
tiers, Violet and Vera Mae and host
of relatives and friends to mourn his
loss. Our loss is heavens gain.

JOINT STOCK
!, BANKS REMAIN

Senator Smoot has been unsuc-
cessful in attempting to amend the
Federal Farm Loan act SO as to dis
solve the Joint stock banks within
three years. His plan for the re-
moval of the tax exemption of bonds
issued by the banks has also been
defeated by the Senators. The sig
nifcance of the matter is found in
the fact that The Senate has en-
phasized its desire to promote any
form of government aid which will
afford long term loans to farmers.
