GREAT OFFICIAL
WAR FILM HERE
Six Reels OF Newly Developed
And Released Action Pictures
To Be Shown Tuesday

Showing at the Rylander Theater
Tuesday is the new official French
and United States war film, "The
Great Adventure. This very in-
teresting film, consisting of six reels,
is shown in Georgia for the first time,
it having been released but a few
days ago. 1t has been carefully as
sembled and edited in the labora-
tory of the war department from the
thousands of feet of undeveloped
negatives taken by official photogra-
pher in France during the progress
of the war. The scenes are entirely
new and striking ones, showing for
the first time such striking views as
the actual sinking of Allied vessels
by the famous German U-boat No.
"a in her memorable cruise early
during the summer of 1918, when
twenty-five large merchant vessels
were sent to the bottom of the ocean.
With the film is contained, too, the
first complete pictorial record CT the
battle of the Meuse-Argonne, and
the great number of Americas people
who last year attended the showing
of FLASHES of Action" will remember
the very thrilling and historical views
of the battle contained in that re-
markable film.
"The Great Adventure" deals with
the historical romance of the trans
portation of over two million Ameri-
can soldiers to the European battle
front during the days of 1918. The
ultimate triumph of these same men
in the crowning victory of the Ar
come; the pursuit into Germany, and
later President Wilson's dramatic de-
parture for France are all very vivid
ly shown in this amazing film.
1.-THE Great Adventure has been
released by the war department in re-
spouse to the numerous requests of
Legion posts that these historical
and intensely interesting scenes be
shown to the American people so that
they might have an opportunity of
seeing for themselves the absorbing
drama of the World War in all its
stirring realities. Many of the scenes
being even more vivid than those be-
held by the individual combatant
whose eyes had never the range nor
the faculty of perception of the cam
era. Never again without another
war will the general public have an
opportunity of seeing pictures of
battle events which will live in his
tory. One cannot afford to miss it.

VACCINE CUTS
TYPHOID HERE
DR. Bond Urges Public To Accept
Free Service To Prevent
Fever

Reports from the State Board of
Health show that during the year
1921, 1877 deaths occurred in Georgia
from typhoid fever. That equals a
death rate of 27.52 per 100000. TIE
report also shows that typhoid fever
is on the increase. The counties
where health activities were carried
or the rate is lower than for the
state-at-large. We were a little
more fortunate in Sumter county for
our death rate was only II per l00,-
900, and | attribute our reduction to
the free use of vaccines and the in
stallation of nearly a thousand sep
tic tanks and fly-proof privies.
The vaccine used to prevent ty-
phoid fever has been tried and is no
longer an experiment. 1t is as salts
factory as the vaccins used to pre-
vent smallpox. Those who have died
of typhoid fever in Sumter county
had not been vaccinated. 1t is esti-
mated that one death occurs in every
ten cases of typhoid fever and that
each case costs $4,000 or more, in
dollars and cents, showing that Sum-
ter county lost last year more than
ten thousand dollars on account Of
this one disease, which is preventa-
BILE.
Don't wait until some member of
the family is stricken with this NAL
ady. Be vaccinated now-it's free.

Commissioner of Health.

successful fights IL Alabama and
Florida and comes here ready for a
clean exhibition and a desire, he says,
to give Cracker Anderson a run for
his money.
Cracker Anderson weighs 1872 and
is good man. You will remem-
Der that he met Jack Denham at the

we're attack of malaria, he went into
the ring. Since that night he has
been training almost daily and has
succeeded in getting into better ply
steal condition. Anderson met Joe
Nasser at Albany last week and was
given a draw, and Joe is a hard man
TO hold off. Anderson appears a
bit slow in the ring, but he has
terribly wicked punch and knows
how TO use it, when an opening is
found"

Opponents of Il protective tariff arc
saving that the rates of impost duties
in the bill now before congress arc
higher than in any previous measure
The Freeman-Jo Journal hasn't seen ;
COPY of the bill and doesn't know
whether this charge is true or not. but
hopes it is. There are ample reasons
why it should carry a larger measure
of protection than former protective
laws have. There is more difference
now between wages in this and foreign
countries than ever before and if the
present high standard OF American
wages can be maintained it will be a
good thing for every interest, prOvid-
ing farm products can be brought Up
in price to corresponding levels. and
the Freeman journal believes they can
and will he. We have unlimited con
fidence i'm the future of agriculture and
no legislation will help the farmer
more. in the Judgment Of the Freeman
Journal, that protective tariff law
that protects and gives the American
producer control of the American mar
kct at fair prices.
