II you like vamping vampires in
vampy plays, 90 to see Estelle Tay-
lor, playing the leading role in a
screen version of Kipling's famous
poem, "A Fool There Was, which
opened yesterday at the Fort Arm
strong. Evidently the populace
rather likes vamps, for the house
was crowded at all showings. Miss
Taylor decidedly does not look like
Kipling's rag and bone and hank
of hair. Although the part of a
woman who breaks up a mans life,
only to toss him aside in the end,
should not appeal to the average
citizen, Miss Taylor plays the part
beautifully. She is supported by a
splendid cast and the directing is
very good. The backgrounds of the
luxurious American homes and of
scenes abroad, in London and
Venice. are especially good. The
story is the usual one of the promi-
nent business man, lured from his
family and fireside by an unscrupu-
lous woman. In spite of every at
tempt to break away from her the
man fails, until at last death re-
leases him from his bonds. The
question Of whether wife should
he told If her husband is untrue tc
her was handled from two different
angles. A mans first thought was
to protect the other man and de-
ceive the wife. The woman's first
| thought was to tell the wife, "anG

been prevented says the modern
man. Man;movie fans will remem

u COTTON CROP

The Crop Reporting Board estimates
that this years crop in Mississippi
will amount to 100000 bales of 500
pounds gross weight, as compared
with $4,000 bales last year, and the
5-year average 1916-1920 of 959,919
bales.
If we look these figures squarely
in the face, as the old year is draw
ing to a close, we must make up our
minds that we have mighty little to
kick about, insofar as the seasons
principal crop is concerned.
True, there were some communities
in the state hard hit by the boil wee

but the Yield as a whole was as good
az we had q right to expect under
existing conditions.

wears, the farmers were enabled to

PEOPLE WHO DON'T THINK

A fellow walked along the main street the other day reading news paper Suddenly he tossed the paper into the street and continued his journey.
 A housewife opened can of tomatoes. The empty can found lts way into the back alley.
 A young couple wandered aimless- ly along, engrossed in themselves and the candy they were eating. The box was dropped onto the sidewalk.
 A farmers horse cast shoe in the street A bystander picked it up and tossed it into a vacant lot
 A convivial spirit edged into a corner and downed his last swig, and down went the bottle.
 And so it goes on from day 10 day and from year to year, and so it has been going since mankind learned tu enjoy the luxuries of life.
 A little thing tossed into the dis card here-another there something somewhere else but always that adds to the rubbish that clutters up a town and renders the landscape less attractive.
 It is pure thoughtlessness, and no thing else But continued thought lessness Of this kind on the part of Q majority of the population can soon make amy town resemble deserted junk heap
 Our town and our people deserve something better.
 Will you do your part?

Southwest by the Near East Relief

In addition tos the orphans thousands upon thousands of re ifuges who have been made homeless and helpless by the vicissitudes ol war are in need of warm clothing.
 The letter refers to this need for clothing on the part of the unfor tunate people of the Near East and the fact that the spare clothing ir attics and closets in American homes may be used to save lives ir the mountainous regions of Armenia next winter.

OUTLOOK BRIGHT FOR DEMocRA.

As the time comes for holding the democratic state conference in Tue son confidence in Ihe meeting re sulting in increased strength for the party is growing an0 notwi .hstand ing the activity of the republicans state press in attempts to roll rocks in the democTatic path and array democrat against democrat on the question of the proposed constitu- tional amendments democratic meet ings ithroughout the state have shown no evidence of anything which would indicate inharmony at Tucson on May 15. As said by this paper se9- eral times recently whether proposed candidates are in favor of or oppos ed to the amendments should not effect their standing as democrats in the ranks which will oppose the repub- jeans this fall. This paper wolld not agree to all 5he proposed aH! end ments, but it would not question the party loyalty of any man because if his opposition to all of them, or because he might favor all of them.
 As the time comes for democrats to go to Tucson the talk of various candidates continues, but no where has there been any marked deyer mination in behalf of any of the pros pectives; it. is not certain that any candidates will be endorsed. though thI. was the original object of .he state conference, as approved unani- mously in very cosmopolitan meeting of democrats in Phoenix last January It is now being suggested that the Tucson mee&ing might well confine it's activity to the adoption of declaration of party principles and to a recitation of the deplorabie conditions which have come upon the state since the democrats were removed from control of the govern ment of the commonwealth. Here is an eppogtunity for making knowr the failure of the present state ad ministration which should not be al lowed to pass without making gooc use of it in furthering che success of the democrats of the state.

LET CHILDREN PLAY

Some fond parents make great mistake. They bring their children up as they would hothouse plants.
 They are coTtinually indoors, are seldom allowed to enjoy the com panionship of other children, an,l are denied that life in the open that puts red blood into human veins.
 Years later, when they develop weak or abnormal minds, or show lack of capacity for success in the world of affairs, their deficiencies be come a handicap to them and a source of grief to the parents who could have prevented such a condi- ion and they adopted the right course in the beginning
 The sun shines for little children as well as for adults. Let them en- joy it to the full if you would have them justify the love and devotion you bestow upon them.
