DAWSON BAND LEADS
PARADE In CORDELE
ENGAGED TO LEAD KLANSMEN
IN BIG PARADE. HUNDREDS
THRONGED STREETS.

The first paid trip Of the Dawson
Concert band was made on Monday to
Cordele, where they led parade of
robed and hooded members of the Ku
Klux Khan, numbering between 1000
and 5000.
Arrayed in white pants and shirts,
modest bow ties and straw hats the
boys presented snappy appearance
as they marched through the main
streets of Cordele followed by the
large crowd of klansmen. Thousands
OF people from all parts OF the state
were present and heard the music
Delicious barbecue was served the
klansmen and the band.
In addition to playing on the march
the band gave concert as a part OF
the program, with a lecture as the
main feature
The fact that the Dawson band was
chosen to play instead of one of the
older and better known bands of the
state is highly complimentary to the
organization and to the city at large
and is a thing OF which every citizen
of Dawson might feel proud. 1t was
the gateway to publicity, and the boys
made the most of the opportunity.
For several nights prior to Their
visit in Cordele the band boys parad-
ed the downtown streets of Daw-
son until a late hour, with Bill Pace
in the official role Of drum major.

DROUTH THREATENS TO BE
SERIOUS IN THIS SECTION

Dat Crop Suffers.

With a moisture deficiency of near
1y two inches for the month of Apri

State Has War Securitie S

If a person were to rise up in
a public assemblage and declare
that the state of Washington is
the owner of German war bonds
a chorus of indignant denial prob
ably would follow. Yet tits a
fact. This state owns two-5,-
900 mark German war bonds Of
the issue of Oct. 81, 1916, Incl
dentally it also owns four $500.
Canadian war bonds. These Sc
curities reached the-s state Treas
urer from the estates of persons
who died without heirs and
whose property escheated to the
state. Treasurer Babcock finds
he may have to probate the will
of the former owner of the Can
adam bonds in Canada before he
can collect. He has been una
BILE, thus far, to discover any
method of getting the German
money until Gen. Daes has time
to help him out.

Broken Neck No Hazard

Breaking ones neck while
working in a Washington in
dustrial plant is no longer re-
garded as a serious menace to
life. It isn't as risky as some
of the common place surgical op~
erations and need not be any
more likely to be fatal than
many contagious diseases.
There now are twenty men
working in Washington Indus
trial plants who have suffered
broken necks, one other man is
about to return to work after
having recovered from such an
accident and four others are in
various stages of convalescence,
In little more than FIVE years
time these twenty-five cases
have been successfully handled
and only one patient has lost his
life. That patient was beyond
relief when he reached the hos
pital.

DR.. Coue Migth Be
Interested In Character
Drawing on Screen

Of timely interest to the pub.
| lie in general and to followers of
DR.. Emil Coue's theory of auto
suggestion particularly is The
Bishop of the Ozarks," a new
and powerful photodrama. The
picture is especially absorbing in
this connection in that its theme
treats of a man who wins his
way to the topmost in community
from the dregs of society = not
purely by auto-sugestion, but ~
an application Of fighting faith
that brings him final reward.
The chief figure in the story,
which was written by Former
Congressman Milford w. How
ard and directed by Finis Fox,
is an escaped convicl who as
sunes tie identity of a parson,
slain by the convict's pursuers.
The very garb of the slain man
makes the criminal "feel" a
different character. And so
healthy does this belief in him
self grow that we soon see this
convict in new light-that of a
man combating the forces of
evil in the wild Businesses of the
Ozark Mountains, and making
smoother the thorny path of the
beautiful young daughter he
adopted at the death of the
parson.
Logically. steadily and dramat-
ically the story builds, through
smashingly powerful passages,
as we'll as through interludes Of
compelling romance. Soon the
man becomes red blooded fight
err for what is right, the wins his
way into the confidence of those
who surround him. Later he is
! instrumental in rescuring his
daughter" from gilded trap
of revelry in which. in his fore
days, he would have gloried.
And thus develops a wonderful
character, the beginning Of which
came with a cange of garb. The
story progresses to the point
where the man becomes the
Chaplain of a State Prison.
But even when he is exposed as
an ex-convict his new-found
character does not leave him,
and he is pardoned by the Gov
ernor of the State as his daugh-
ter finds happiness in the arms
of a worthy sutton.
Former Congressman Howard
himself plays the leading role,
while beautiful Derelys Predue
| is seen in the leading feminine
part.
Will be shown at the Gregg
theater Friday night.

the daughter of well-known chemist
The product, which has been named
"Iroline" after it's discoverer, is said
to cost less and go further than any

According to the Paris report, the
only modification necessary to adapt
the ordinary automobile to the use
Of the new fuel is the attachment of
