The mythical republic of Para- \ gonia in which the action of: ' "The Americano," featuring Douglas Fairbanks, takes place, is supposed to be situated in Central America, well in the tropics. "The Americano" is a play of national enthusiasm, tropical reyolution, sudden deaths and swift loves. ^ There is plenty of adventure, political graft, deposed presidents and fair women, j Dungeons and castles, fortresses, J underground passages and ail ' the other accompaniments of ? romance figure in this.delightful play. Fairbanks performs some of his finest athletic feats in this picture and his final battle with four officers of the enemy's side is one of the most sensational fights ever seen on the screen. Alma Rubens plays the lead as a Spanish senorita whose father is the deposed president. Beautiful moonlight scenes showing the romance of the two in typical tropical fashion on the balcony of the President's palace are deeirb'dlv cni>huntin? .^...?

During the investigation a separate committee of three, soon to be named, will buy cotton for the use of the United States Government and the allies at prices to be fixed by the president. Since most of the cotton of the country is used for war purposes, this government buying is expected to stabilize prices. \ " FOR SALE. For Sale at a Bargain, Set of Woodwork and Blacksmith Tools. J.
