| 'The Price of Peace," the
* greatest war film ever made
| will be shown here during
* the Victory Loan Campaign
% absolutely free of charge.
This picture would be worth
$5,000,000 to any movie com-
pany that could secure the rights
to run it. But it can't be done.
The film belongs to the United
States Government. It was
made by United States Signal
Corps photographers and the
actors were United States sol-
diers—only they were not act-
ing; they were doing honest-to-
goodness fighting. One of the
photographers was killed while
turning the crank of the cam-
era. See this picture and you
will understand where the Lib-
erty Loan billions went.
SEE THE BOYS
See what actually happened
to our soldier from the time he
enlisted until he marched across
the Rhine into Germany. Our
boys landing in France; the
desperate realities of the front
line trenches, gas attacks, army
railroading under fire, a portion
of the tracks blown up by an
exploding shell and the engi-
neers ducking for shelter;
the great attack at Chateau
Thierry, infantry and artillery
under heavy bombardment, a
German airplane shot down,
falling like a twirling leaf from
the sky, observation balloons
under fire, prisoners and cap-
tured guns, our troops march-
ing into Germany, General Per-
shing and his men in Prussia,
Christmas Day with the Army
of Occupation in Germany, and
the homecoming..
A BIG THRILL
One of the big thrills of the
picture is the scene where our
boys go over the top into the
wheatfields at 4:35 o'clock in
the morning. The dim, misty
light of dawn suddenly flares up
with the angry red fires of war
and gives the scene a peculiar
and fascinating intensity. Ev-
ery scene run off will stir you
and thrill you a# no other war
story has done. It's all so real;
it's the only official story of the
war. When a doughboy crump-
les up and falls or is blown to
bits you know he is not pretend-
ing. The scenes jar the nerves
with their reality, and you will
watch them breathless—fasci-
nated.
FREE OF CHARGE
You will see free of charge a
picture that has never been pub-
licly shown. The film has been
held back by the War Depart-
ment until now, because it con-
tains secrets of the war, and
the Treasury Department has
exclusive use of it for the Vic-
tory Liberty Loan campaign.

of Dallas County by good roads
When the proposed $6,500,000 th<
bond issue for goodroads is vot-
ed on May 24th, a new era of
prosperity will open for all peo-
ple of Dallas County. Predicat-j
ed as the proposition is, upon a !
plan which permits the voter tj
understand where every cent of
the money will he expended,
designating the roads and the na-
ture of the improvement there-
on, it has won favorable com-
ment from all .sections of the
State and even from diistant
States. A ncmber of inquiries
have been received as to the
"Dallas County Good Road
Plan" and the majority for it is
watched by people not only from
Texas but elsewhere-
The bonds will be issued onlv
as needed in the discretion of
the Commissioner's Court. It i<
very likely that not to exceed
$2,000,000 will he issued the first, ginei-r
year. Interest rate on the
bonds which will be thirty year
serial bonds bearing five por
cent or thereabouts, will be ap-
proximately thirty five cent3 on
the onq hundred dollar valua-
tion. This matter is entirely in
Co;n-
expe-

missioner's Court and the
ditures will be made with
sanction only.
Already offers have been made
to purchase the bonds \*;!iicli
assures a sale not only a par, but
at par and. accrued interest, the
accrued interest reverting to the
county when only a portion of
the bonds are issued each year.
In addition to the ready sale of-
fered the bonds, Federal and
State assistance will he possible
through the development of
State and Federal highways.
The proposed bond issue calls
for a net work of roads through-
out the county, joining all roads
in a belt line around the entire
county. All roads will be the
