spent, two very busy days this j
week collecting clothing to be
sent to the Belgians. Committees
were appointed to solicit
last week and yesterday a number
of cars visited the homes j

children which will no doubt .
prove of great value to the needy

opportunity to contribute. The
chapter has a large amount of
work on hand at this time and

located near the center of town

fine physical condition. There
are about 125 subscribers to the
stock issue, most of whom artfarmers
in the community. The
erection of a cotton seed oil
mill is contemplated in connection
with the gin and it is probable
that the new enterprise will be
ready to crush the seed of next

Douglas Fairbanks Today.
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? .^...?
J VVCII I
to hardened old misanthropes
who have long passed the sentimental
age.
The play comes to the Majestic
Theatre today at regular prices.
To Fix Cotton Price.
President Wilson has announced
that a fair price for raw
cotton will be fixed if it should
be deemed necessary after the
committee to be appointed by
the War Industries Board has
completed its inquiry into the
general cotton situation. 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.
