stones hypnotic eyes urged him almost rresistbly to
do so.
Rayburn was between two fires. Unless he received
money would lose his machine the keystone of his
hopes Where else could he turn for money without
disclosing the astounding progress Of his experiments?
On the other hand, he distrusted Foxstone. He felt
that somehow the had sensed the value of his
work that If allowed get his fingers into # he

Service Men Are Called to Rally Once
Again to Stand Firm for AmericQnism

The annual spring drive for new
members for the American Legion
is in full swing. Fred Hilburn post
No. IL, the local post of the legion,
has already secured a large num-
ing the cry of a 100 per cent mem
bership. The legion is the organi-
zation of ex-service men who served
in the military and naval service of
the United States during the World
war and while there are organiza-
tions for special classes of service
men this one is recognized interna-
tionaly as the greatest and the only
one that is open to all service men
who have honorable discharges from
the service.
Reports from over the state are
that the goal set, that of 5000
members in 1928, is likely to be
passed within the next 80 days. In
Douglas an intensive campaign has
been mapped out. There are sew
eral hundred service men in this
district who are eligible to become
members OF the legion. Fred Hill
burn post is setting out to prove
to them all that they need the
legion and that the legion needs
them.
There is nothing mysterious about
the American Leg ion. 1t was
| formed to foster and perpetuate
| 100 per cent Americanism. Those
words form but portion of the
preamble to the constitution of the
order The legion recognizes no
creed. 1t recognizes no rank. A
man who was general in the army
joins the legion as a comrade, not
as superior and all the rank he
may ever hold in that organization
he must gain through service.
All Stand Equal

vate in the army and who did

 Mir. DeMille begins the story with the greater Galilean ministry of Jesus, makes the counter motive the opposition of Scribe and Pharisee and High Priest, and develops the first grand climax in the Cleansing Of the Temple. Here arises the sec ond opposition: the resentfulness of Judas when Jesus refuses the tem- poral kingdom.
 From scenes of great beauty in and around Bethany - the children in the Olive Grove and the raising of Lazarus-the action goes to the Upper Room of the Lords Supper and thence to the Garden of Geth- semane. This wonderful sequence is preceded by the scene when Judas bargains with Caiaphaa to betray Jesus for 30 pieces of silver, and it is followed by Peters denial of his Lord. ...

WORK OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THE SOUTH
Mann Del1ies (. Q. ?. Is Slln-
 daring Smith

Washington. Oct. l N-Chairman n Work of the republican national committee is. highly optimistic of HsFbert Hnoves's prospects in the usually Etaunchly democratic south.
 He issued 2 statement last night saying that for the frst time in years the republican party is ac- lively campaigning in Dixie. A re- port submitted by Horace A. Mann. tho director of Hoover activities in the southern division. was appended which predicted that Hoover would receive an overwhelming electoral majority in the south. and declared that in some of the southern states the republican nominee is in the lead at the present time.
 Denies Reports
 In his report, Mann. who has been referred to as the mystery leader" S.clared untrue charges to the effect this his office had flooded the south with propaganda attack ing Governor Smith and had been in close contact with agencies dis seminating material Of this nature.
 Mann's territory includes the states Of North and South Carolina. Georgia. Florida. Alabama, Missis- sippi. Louisiana. Tennessee and Ken lucky. These. he said, have 9S votes in the electoral college, and added that it was his opinion that If the election were held tomorrow Hoover would be given an overwhelming ma iority of these ss votes.
 At another point he said that Hoover was gaining in the south and predicted this his followers there will continue to increase and will result on election day in our not only obtaining electoral votes from the south but majority of all the votes the south will cast"
 Republican organization in the south Mann said had been jmpeded by "an unfair press" almost unani- nlously democratic. adding that through democratic speakers the , southern electorate was. neverthe- less, becoming familiar with the is- sues of the campaign.
 Charges Are Fake
 The southern leader termed fake f charges that mystery had been made of the southern campaign. He said that while his office had moi courted publicity it has not avoided it and is equipped to furnish infor- nation to the press fully and cour- teously."
 The offices of the southern al. vision are located in the Munse, building rather than in the Barr building where the general cam. paisn Headquarters are housed. 6 fact which Mann said had proved O, value in cooperating with democratic leaders of the south who are op 1 posed to Smith. To these, he said 'ft undoubtedly would have beer embarrassing to walk into the gen i cral offices of the republican na tional committee"
