SAVE MONEY! COMMENCE NOW!
The less money you have the greater your need for savings. You should
buy you a home. You expect to buy a home sometime. If you wait until
you can pay all cash for it, you will never buy. Commence saving by tak
ing stock with us to-day, and when you want to buy or build, come and get
your savings, and if you need borrow the balance from us and pay your
house rent to yourself. Don’t you know that the rent you are now paying
will about pay your building and loan dues and interest, and at the end of
six years you will have a home instead of a bundle of rent receipts. See us.

AT THE THEATRE.
Salome’s Famous Danes of Dsath.
Salome, the daughter of Herodias,
the unlawful wife of King Herod, of
Galilee, is one of the central charac
ters in “The Holy City,” the treme-
dously successful religious drama by
Clarence Bennett which is to be pre
sented at the Star Theatre ju next
Tuesday night. This is tne same
Salome who was the central figure in
the play of that name which was
written by Oscar Wilde and which
was later set to music by R ichard
Strause. The one presentation of
this opera at the Metropolitan Opera
House in New York last season and
the tremendous sensation which it
provoked are still in the minds of the
general public.
Wilde's Salome was a franb volupt
uary no redeeming sense of shame,
or a being who wallowed in the
depths of degeneracy and who kiss
ed the severed head of John, the Bap
tist, in an unhealthy and bestial mo
ment of wild sensualism. The Salome
presented in “The Holy City” is a
passionate creature whose love for
Marius, a young Roman citizen forms
the central thread of the plot. An
gered at John, the Baptist, because
he has unconsciously influenced Ma
rius to join the followers of Christ,
she demands his head liom King
Herod at the instigation of her
mother. One of the most spectacu
lar scenes in the play is the scene
showing her dance before Herod and
his court, a dance which so influenc
ed hi m that, at its conclusion, he
broke his faith with the mother of
Jhon and sends him to the execution
ers. But Mr. Bennett’s Salome is not
the voluptuous degenerate depicted
by Wilde. She has the redeeming
sense of self-respect and she dies con
fessing her belief in the Master who
had just arisen from the dead. This
is at the close of the play.
The People its Friends.
No play has ever won for itself so
much human love ®®d so much of
true friendship from the whole public
as Clarence Bennett’s The Holy City.
It takes hold of the heart of the au
ditor at once. It bears that magic
spell of genius that makes It real
to an auditor. He at once forgets
that it is a play and Is carried away
with its realism. Having once seen
it, it ever after takes on a sort of
personality. It becomes to us like
some person whom we have known
and loved. We remember it, not as
a play, hut as an old friend, and, on
its return, hasten to grasp It by the
hand and say: “Welcome!” It is the
only play that pleases everybody.
This Is one true marb of real genius
In a drama. Another Is that every
time you see It again, you find new
and beautiful things that you had
never seen In it before. This is one
of the few plays that will live to de
light our grandchildren and their
children after them. The Holy City
will be at the Star Theatre Tuesday
night, October 13th.

The Womans Club held Its regular

A Cotton picking.
An occwlon which proved to be
a very delightful one, was enjoyed by
the Sunbeam Society of Cherokee
Avenue Bapt’it church last Saturday.
As had been previously arranged by
Miss Katherine Bills and Mrs. F. E.
Shuford, leaders, assisted by Miss
Ida Crocker, about forty children
answered to the call of the bell which
summoned them and with sacks and
other paraphernalia necessary for
cotton picking, marched to the cotton
field of Mr. E. R. Cash.
The girls were led by Mrs. Shuford
and Miss Ida Crocker, while the boys
were divided into two sections unoer
Miss Bills and Mr. W. M. Harris.
With unabating Interest, each sec
tion vlelng with the other, the
fleecy staple yielded to the nimble
fingers of the happy party, until a
call was made to lunch.
Again with renewed zest picking
continued. About three o’clock they
were Interrupted long enough for
Prof. Shuford to get a snap shot of
the party.
After weighing the cotton it was
found that nearly 1,600 pounds had
been picked. Realizing that nearly
$10 had been put to their credit to
be given to missions, though a little
tired, they could say as but few
grown ups can say: "I have really
given one day’s labor to send the
gospel to those who know it not.”
The average man will think twice before he breakes a dollar
to purchase five cents worth of amusement or enjoyment, be
cause he readzes that the remains of
the dollar take wings and quickly ily
away. Neither will a man write a check
for five cents—it seems too small.
Therefore, the man who deposits all
his earnings in bank and pays his bills
by checking against his account is in a
fair way to cut off the small extrava
gances that prevent so many of us from
achieving financial success. If it is hard
for you to lay by a st^re for the future, try this plan. We will
welcome your account, however small and assist you 011 to the way
to success.
