Undivided Patriotism. i ... . No man can serve two masters, says the Book of Truth. v This word may be taken to heart today by Americans of German extraction. It is natural that their sympathies, before the entrance of the United States into the war, should have been with Germany. All their sympathies today must be with the United States. None of them dare blink the truth that whole hearted allegiance to the American colors is a prime essential for citizenship. . Germany would not tolerate for one minute a luke warm support of an American-German but ? would insist on absolute allegiance to the Kaiser. ? And so a German-American must not believe it hard or cruel if the United States government demands with all the power back of the command that every citizen, irrespective of lineage,

be true to the United States and accept without murmur or questioning the issues that confront the nation. All of us must work for victory by the United States. All our thoughts, our deeds, our hopes must center on this consummation. "Keep your mouth shut and obey the law," is the dictum which Attorney General Gregory laid down for the aliens who are living in the United States. . His advice is a good one and will prevent untoward incidents and consequent ill feeling.

..' . Marking The Old Road. The old National road was one of the great highways of former days linking east and west A representative of the National Old Trails' association, which is advocating the improvement of roads, is in the city raising funds to mark the highway through Wayne . county., r . The, Dayton

to Indianapolis link of the thoroughfare is one of

the most beautiful stretches of the road. The markers will advertise the road and the cities that have been built along it.

Read Up On Farming.

Patriotism Begins At Home.

This is the caption of an article which the United States Department of Agriculture has prepared for the consideration of the farmers and

urban dwellers. Patriotism beings at home." That means ev

ery item of economy practiced in. Richmond will benefit the whole nation; every: home garden planted here will help feed the' United States

army; every acre redeemed from weeds and underbrush means so many more pounds of foodstuffs added to national granery. Let the article drive home the lesson we must learn at once:

. "In emergencies, it may be necessary for

some patriots to unyoke the oxen and leave the plow standing in the furrow, but the lasting support of a nation requires efficient patriots to keep the plows going; The soil supports the corn; 'corn supports animals ; corn and animals support an army ; and 'armies fight on their bellies Let us properly care for the goose that lays the golden egg. "Whether corn prices are high or low, the farmer's profit depends on obtaining large acre yields. Large acre yields reduce the expense of both labor and land. It is remarkable that acre yields are increasing most rapidly in the states southeast and the states north and west of the corn belt states. These increased acre yields are largely due to earlier and thicker planting of better seed corn. Unnecessary losses from planting poor seed corn are diminishing as it becomes more fully realized that neither frosts nor droughts can exterminate good acclimated varieties if sufficient seed be saved from good crops to last until another good crop is obtained. Good seed corn will retain its powers of germination and production for four or five years."

Hundreds of persons who , know little about the planting and raising of vegetables and garden products will try their hand at this form of farm work this year. Unless they have the proper advice and direction they will spend many dollars and perform much unprofitable work. The Morrisson-Reeves library has a list of valuable books which they might read with profit. Farmers, bent on planting greater acreages and cultivating more intensively their fields, may do well to borrow the books. The list follows: Bailey, L. H. Encyclopedia of Agriculture. 4 V.

GOOD BLOOD Given good, clean, healthy blood, N'ature will do the rest with any case of catarrh, inflammatory rheumatism, scrofula, eczema, erysipelas, boils; pimples, or skin diseases of any kind. Good blood Invariably means vigorous appetite, good digestion and strength. Thus It stands to reason that an effective "alterative" or blood purifier, while it will not cure all diseases, will help la fighting any disease, and will

relieve those mentioned above, all of

which comes from bad blood.: Forty years ago Dr. A. B. Simpson

of Richmond, Ind., was known as one

of the. most successful physicians in three states. His success was founded almost exclusively on one prescription, the most powerful blood purifier ever known. This prescription Is regularly put up as Dr. A. B. SImpson'B Vegetable Compound. It has been used " extensireiy til over the country, and In forty years has never failed to do good. Simpson's Vegetable Compound is harmless as it is effective. It is sold at $1 per bottle 4 all drug stores. Adv. 1

is the first production by the great English beauty as the head of her own

mm corporauon. MURRAY

Following her recent picture, "The

Pride of the Clan," the selection of

Mary Pickford's third subject for Art

traft Pictures narrowed itself down to three ideal Pickford vehicles and the matter of making a final decision proved rather difficult in view of the particular adaptability of each of the sub

jects under consideration. It is readl ly apparent to all those who are famll

iar with MA Poor Little Rich Girl" that

in selecting and obtaining the screen

rights to this subject, as a play for Mary Pickford, the producers have ef

fected a ten-strike. This production has just been completed at the Mary Pickford studios in Fort Lee and will appear in this city at the Murray next week. " ' MURETTE v Having scored such a pronounced success in "Witchcraft"' and "The Years of the Locust," Fannie Ward, the

versatile LAtty star, wilt.be soon today in the Jesse L. Lasky production "Betty to the Rescue," Beatrice De Mille's and Leighton Osmun's clever comedy drama, which is the paramount Picture at the Murrette. The story was especially written for Miss Ward by these noted photodraniatic writers. MURRETTE . The Miirrptt ttiAatM v.. f- i-

The appearance is a most unusual of

fering inasmuch as the actor does not

act when he appears. In his own

words "My friends I have been acting

ana playing the unreal for seven years

before the cool calculating lens of the camera, and I am not going to bore you with recitations or song or dance, but treat this rather as a visit, and the reunion with my screen public."
