The fair which was given on the
premises of Robert Brandt of New
Hope plantation, last Saturday, Sun
day and Monday. for the benefit of
the Smoke Bend Catholic church,
proved an unqualified success. Des-
pite the very inclement weather which
prevailed the attendance was large
and the visitors were all in good hu-
NOR and Joined in the spirit of the
occasion. The festival originally
scheduled for Saturday and Sunday,
only, was, on account of the bad
weather, continued Monday. The
gross receipts amounted to $1557.5 SO
and after deducting expenses, the
net proceeds will amount to about
5000, which is considered a most graf
flying sum. The committee in
charge of the fair was composed of
Henry Dugas, W. G. Gerken, Robert
Brandt, Louis Rome, Mrs. Henry Ro-
drigue, Jr. and Mrs. Robert Brandt;
to them is due the credit for the
splendid success Of the fair. They
worked hard and faithfully and de-
serve to be heartily congratulated up
on their fine achievement.

"IlEE'S GREATEST QUESTION:
Roy Stewart and Louise Lovely Share
Honors in Drama of Love.

Producers of "Life's Greatest
Question: which is to be the film
feature attraction at the Community
Theatre next Thursday, have under
taken to present on the screen a
thrilling exposition of the age-old
question:: Should a woman tell her
husband of her past life?
However, it would appear that
those responsible for this particular
production had given up hope Of ever
finding suitable tolution to this
problem in the center of civilization,
since they have chosen to make the
locale of their story an outpost vii
Iage in the Far North. This original
touch brings to the screen one of the
most compelling stories of adventure
and thrill ever screened in Northland.
Characters in the story are play
ed by Roy Stewart and Louise Love
ly, who are co-starred. The latter
plays the newly acquired wife of the
villages most prominent citizen, while
the former is a courageous member
Of the Royal Northwest Mounted Po-
lice, in love with the brides step
daughter.
Superb backgrounds make this pro-
duction, scenically, one Of the out
standing pictures of the year. 1t was
directed by Harry Revier, and was
photographed in the country in which
it is supposed to occur.

of brain knows that had German,
had black troops available on either
occasion, she would have used them tC
the best advantage she could have
devised.
Again he waves the red flag OF
ancient luster, detailing experience:
of the south with bac< troops and
carpetbaggers after the civil war.
We ask, did not Germany c,.dca, or
to re-enact this very same thing in
our southern states during the recent
world war? 1t is fact that German
agents tried by every means thew
possessed to create revolution
among our blacks, and had it sue
ceeded Germany would have allowed
the same rule of terrorism that pre-
vailed in the '6Os and 10 to sweep
this section in 1917, and for how
many years longer nobody knows, had
not the plot been nipped in the bud.
AS we have said, we hold no brief
for France, but at the same time we
90 not propose to spread propadanda
for Germany. This negro troop busi
ness, is to our mind a very insidious
line of propaganda, so to speak, which
Germany is broadcasting for the pur-
pose of gaining sympathy in this coun-

of the southern states. German isl

Germany, and was assessed what was
