Rev. Walter K. Johnston, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of this city, announces that beginning next Sunday he will start a series of revival services. Mir. Johnston will do the preaching from Sunday until Wednesday night when Hon. Chas. c, Dean, of Memphis, noted Bible teacher, will take charge of the services. Mir Dean will do the preaching from Wednesday until Sunday night, May 29, after which date. Dr. c. H. Williamson, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Memphis, will have charge of the services until the close on June 5. Dr. Johnston, MT. Dean and Dr. Williamson constitute a mighty strong team of evangelists and the two weeks revival at the Presby- terian church beyond doubt will draw immense crowds.

School Election
 Is on TOn,OrrOtU

The annual school election will be held on Saturday of this week. In the Marianna district the terms of Hugh Nixon and Will Peete Harris expire. Both of these gen tlemen have consented to serve again, though neither of them seeks the position. In view of the fact that the local school board contem- plates the issuance of about $85,- 900 in bonds this summer for the erection of new high school build ing on the Hutton property on Pearl street it is highly important that school patrons turn out to- morrow and vote the maximum tax of twelve mills.
 Under the new law passed two years ago, creating a county board of education consisting of five mem bers, all of whom were elected last year, it is now necessary to elect a new member each year. H. M. Jackson, president of the board, drew the one year term. He has declined to offer for reelection and W. B. Mann has consented to serve in his stead. No other candidate has been nominated and consequent ly MT. Mann will be elected for a term of five years without opposi- ton.

Men are Needed for
 The RegimentdI Band

If Marianne gets the Fifth Regi- mental Band, with Joe Retanio as director, it will be necessary to en- roll twenty-siX men in the musical organization at once. A committee composed of c. c. Kitchener, R. L.. Hope and W. J. Shorten has been appointed to enlist recruits and with Tn the next few days they will call a meeting of those who have been members of the old band here and the boys and young men who will probably be interested in becoming affiliated with the Regimental Band. It IS not expected any difficulty will be experienced in raising the neces- sary funds to finance the band The government will furnish the uniforms, the instruments and the music and will pay the director 30 per cent of the regular army all lowance for his services. This al- lowance must be supplemented with S50 or S60 a month subscribed by the citizens.
 Marianna is one of the 26 towns and cities applying for the band and Major Robertson and Dr. Wall have been assured by the head of ficials that this city will be favored over others, provided the local com mittee succeeds in raising the funds and enlisting the required number of men. It is not necessary for recruit to be musician in order to become identified with the band. The nucleus of the organization will of course be formed around the old musicians, but any young man, whether he has had any experience or not, will have a fine opportunity to develop his talent under the lead ership of the director.

HAS VERY ATTRACTIVE POST
 TASTES 13O WINES.

Paris, May l4.-Being French minister of agriculture means little worries, but the post also carries with it compensations, as was shown thls week when Edmond Lefebyre du Prey, who holds the portfolio of agriculture, visited the Alsatian vineyards and, according to an an cient custom, more or less fully sampled 130 different brands of wine.
 After a long abstinence, this would have been serious task for an American agriculturist, but M. du Prey was reported to have gain ed the appreciation of his AlsatTan brothers by the ease with which he lifted his elbow the requisite height, while bands played the "Marseil- aise."
 Ordinarily such wines are not talk en except at luncheon and dinner, but the promoters of the wine rast- ing festival arranged the event for an afternoon, thus giving the min ister's feat far greater importance and completely offsetting the Ger man complaint that "the little wines of Alsace" are not worth drinking when the long-necked bottles of Rhine and Moselle wines are avail able.

SALEM GIRLS CLUB MEET

The Girls Club meeting and dem
 onstrations was well attended yes terday forenoon, there being 62
 present. We were assembled by 9 o'clock and waited half an hour be-
 fore Miss Hudson, our efficient agent, reached us. She had been delayed by terrible mud-hole--
 "stuck" but thanks to her efforts and the Mitchell negroes, was soon rescued and reached us in her usual happy frame of mind. The boys soon had fire going in the heat ing stove and plenty of water in the buckets and we were ready. First was a demonstration of a cooked salad dressing and the com bination of Adirondack Salad-a wonderful combination vegetable salad--cream of pea soup, and the making of yeast bread. This be- ing finished and set to rise, we and our good mothers hurried to the arranged tables and spread our din ner to be ready for the further work after dinner. This sumptious repast of quantities of delicious fried spring chicken, ham, salad, pies, cakes, pickles and coffee, was thoroughly enjoyed for one hour. By one o'clock We were ready to begin our work again. The bread dough was ready to knead, shape into rolls and set to rise again. Miss Hudson demonstrated rolls, Parker House, cinnamon and tea rings. All were new to us. We had no way to bake them here, but thanks to a kind neighbor, Mrs. A. L. Jones, we had them baked and ready to be eaten by 3 o'clock. They were delicious, as everything is Miss Hudson cooks. While we were waiting for the rolls to bake, we were given demonstration in sewing. The first was an apron, and very necessary and neat article for club work Next Miss Hudson gave us helpful instructions as to the care of our teeth, finger nails, and how to sit, stand and walk properly. After the work was fin ished we spent an hour playing various games, motoring and kodak ing, while our mothers packed the eggs and crated the chickens that MISS huuSON so BractOusiy cONsenJ- ed to market for us thereby enabling us to obtain a few much needed nickles and dimes. At five-thirw Miss Hudson said "bye-bye" until our next meeting and started in her ever-faithful Lizzie" toward Marianna, looking like a chicken peddler. These meetings are profit able and pleasant to the girls of Lee county and we are loud in our praise for the good men and women of. Lee county for giving us this wonderful opportunity. We are working hard to go to Jonesboro in July and want three of our mem bers to be the lucky girls to win the trip.-Alma Houton, Club Re- porter.

Community Club at
 Salem e Success

The Community Club at Salem held its third regular meeting the other night. A number of visitors from South Plains responded to invitations to attend the meeting and they took a lively interest in the proceedings. A proposition to consolidate the schools of South Plains, Salem and Oak Hall was discussed at length, but action on the matter was deferred for later consideration. F.. B. Whitaker, county demonstrator, acting in the capacity of commission agent, handled some eggs for the club members and the result proved very profitable. Rev. R. " Saylor, pas tor of the Christian church of Ma rianna, made a very interesting and instructive talk on schools.
 A motion was offered by A. L. Jones, president of the club, to call a special meeting to decide on thA matter of consolidating the school district, was adopted. The follow ing committee was appointed to report on the school consolidation project: F. L. Rice, W E. Gray. Jonas Daily, H. W. Oxner, Harve Brock and MT. Butler.
 The people in this community are manifesting much interest in these meetings as is evidenced by the splendid attendance at the gather ings.

Federal Farm Bureau Is
 NoU Needed m Lee County

V. ". watson, WHO tS cOnnecJeO with the Chamber of. Commerce of, Memphis, and who for many years was connected with the agricultural extension work of this state, way in Marianna on last Friday and ad- dressed an assembly of business men and farmers at the EllSs Club on the organization of Federal Farm Bureau at this place.
 The Federal Farm Bureau is an organization that s being per- fected throughout the United States in every state and county and has as it's primary purpose the organi- zatiou of both the farmers and the business men for the purpose of promoting the interest and welfare of each town and community.
 In nearly every town there is Commercial Club or q Chamber of Commerce, the members of which of the Commercial Club or the Chamber of Commerce is to pro mote the interest of the town.
 But we have never had an orr ganization of this kind whereby tho farmers participated in it's benefits. Through the Federal Farm Bureau, however. it is contemplated that in- stead of the organization functions ing for the benefit of the town, it takes in both the town and the country, thereby bringing about clearer relationship between the farmer, the merchant and the pro fessional man.
 It is to be remembered that the Federal Farm Bureau is not mark ettng organization, however. there is nothing in the organization that would initiate against any move ment on the part of the bureau to formulate, if so desired, an order ly system of marketing of any prod uct that may be grown by the mem bers of the bureau.
 The Northern states have had Federal Farm Bureaus for quite awhile and the organization has reached state of permanency. The business men and farmers cooperate in every movement not only for the purpose of marketing their products and the handling of their live stock, but in the development of their towns and their rural dis tricts. There are about three mil lion members of the Federal Farm Bureau throughout the United States.
 There is to be q county, state and national organization of the bureau which will extend it's power for good throughout the whole United States. The movement is endorsed and backed by the feder- al government and it is believed that it will be one of the best cooperative organizations that we have ever had for the farmers and business men.
 At the meeting or last Friday the following committee was appointed as an organization committee for the county:
 Hugh Nixon. cashier Bank of Marianna. chairman; Major Elgan c. Robertson, cashier Lee County National Bank; VI. Lesser, Scott Kirkpatrick. W. E. Mann, +. B. Shumacker, W. s. McClintocs
 Beginning June q campaign will be made throughout the county and meetings will be held at places to be advertised later, at which time the details of the organization and a full explanation of It's purpose will be gone into in order ttat all the farmers and business men of the county may realize the benefits that may be derived through 6 Fed eral Farm Bureau in Lee county.

Manager Of Local Theatre VII ShoU Better Pictures

r,a with the national move
 - forthe purification of themotion
 .,,o. the various civic organiza-
 - of Marianna have recently be-
 active in efforts to improve
 character of screen productions
 here. The matter was dis ['.ssd at the meeting of the Lions ,,h last week and committee was I o;rted to act with the ladies Epresenting the civic organizations 1 tbe town with a view to induc-
 the local management to exhibit |ctures that are elevating instead
 film productions that have naoncv to lower the morals of
 e boys and girls. [p E Morris, manager of the Reg
 \ Theatre, stated yesterday to the
 srr;er-Tndex man and to the rep
 santatiyes from the local organ stion that had conferred with
 n that he would cooperate most Beerfully with them in their eff {rts to secure better pictures. He [;d he had contracts outstanding of will not expire until about Sep 5rober 1, and that it would be very
 rd to change the pictures before of time. He also explained that 1 Ie pictures now being shown were med from ten months to year Lo and are just now being released. assured the committees he would kdeayor to cull any objectionable Iatures in his pictures between now kd September 1, and that after Iat time he would attempt to book 6m productions that would meet Eth the approval of his patrons. |The formal letter addressed to h. Morris by the local representa- Ees, follows:
 B the Management of the Regent Theatre:
 I've, the representatives of the bmen's clubs and of the Lions Club Mariana, desire to thank you br the effort you have made to fovde Us with a class of pictures lat are equal to those shown in |uch larger cities.
 We feel, however, that we would pt be honest with you if we did bt advise you of our sincere and fofound disapproval of some of the lctures that have been shown here. Ee do not attribute this so much the management as to the picture ldustry as whole and the indif- |rence of the public. This indif- |rence must cease. The time has Frived when the future of the puth and the future of the motion cture industry demands that an pnest, practical understanding be 'ached whereby such pictures as ppeal particularly to sex; that rid ule the ministry; that condone lime or that seeming passively ap- love of infidelity of either sex in le marriage relation shall no long be produced nor shown.
 With this idea in view we there Ire hereby register our disapproval the classes of pictures mentioned 'ove and respectfully request you
 making future contracts to use possible diligence in seeing that lch pictures are not shown to Ma anna audiences. in every effort that you make ward this end We will give you IT hearty support.
