The hana 1: of (1 ray Court repiled that he had a bal ance of $11.50 with them. Mr. Fran ks t heronpon cashed the check, which was for $7..50. The following morn ing Mr. Brooks, of the Hank of Gray Court, discovered that the young fel low had not. deposited the actual cash, but had placed a check on a Black stock bank with them for deposit. lie then telephoned to iilackstock And was informed that Thompson had no funds there. Ily then suspicion had been aroused in Laurens by further at telpts of the young man to secure cash in exchange for checks at v'ari ouls storesC. .\lr.

Fanous Picture to be Shown This Week. "The Battle 'Cry of Peace," scorns more like the whoop of war than the battle cry of peace. It preaches a ser mon from the text, "Be Prepared," and Illustrates it with such a multi pilcity of appeals as would drive a sen sitive man to enlist or to drink. War anno domini 1916 is shown here in New York, not only at our very and various doorsteps, but even inside our drawing rooms and living rooms. The guns of our forts are slienced by the enemy's dreadnoughts, the city is bom barded and falls into the hands of the invaders, who turn the fire of a ma chine gun on a crowd of captured snilp ers, just as though one were witness ing part of the present European struggle. The protagonists of the drama part of the pictrue are the Harrison and Vandergriff families and a man spy and a woman spy disguised as univer sal peace advocates. There are in the two families Vandergriff, pater, a 11 nancier who talks peace when there is no peace; his wife, son, a grown daughter, Virginia, and a young daugh ter, and John liarrison, an enlithusias tic disciple of Hudson Mlaxim, author of "Defenseless America," and lee turer plenipotentiary on the same sub ject; and the said noble Johannus's brother, sister, and mother. The plot soon becomes hectic and lurid. The chief spy shot .s through a Window in the Vandergriff house and wounds two soldiers of the enemy. The(,, villain fastens the blame on l'apa Vandergriff and .lohn Ilarrison. These two victims of treachery are shot for sniping, along with a crowd of other citizens of this metropolis. Alice pretends to accept the spy as her lover, secures I1s revolver1 and shoots him dead. She locks the woman spy in a closet. Deaths have been oc curing so thick and fast that we for got to say that Mrs. larrison and .her daughter were killed in their home by a shell (ring the honhardm1en1t.

A fter all, the most valuable home lessol for the comin i n genera t ion is "A place for everytung ''...et cetera. The axiom is old, but there are twentieth century ways of teaching it. One way is to give the boys and girls a Globe-Wernicke 1ookcase section for their use-or a two or three section library of their own. This will not only teach them system, but will encourage reading--the knowledo-e of a hundred centuries has been stored in books for them. This Is the Globe-Wernicke period in book caes. A Globe-Wernicke Bookcase grows with the library---no empty shelves yawning for hooks, no overcrowded shelves.
