“PoorLittle
Rich Girl”
Frdm the play by Eleanor Gates. In six reels.
As an ideal vehicle for “Little Mary” we feel that this story
affords Miss Pickford one of the best motion picture subjects
ever secured for her.
Mary Pickford’s newest Art craft production has just recent-
ly been completed and presents the well known play and
story by Eleanor Gates—“A Poor Little Rich Girl.” Pro-
duced under the able direction of Maurice Tourneur. In this
picture “America’s Sweetheart” appears in a picture par-
ticularly well adapted to her talents.
ONE DAY ONLY. YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO SEE
MISS PICKFORD THIS MONTH.
A CENSORSHIP IN
A MODIFIED FORM
WILL probably be the pro-

Washington, May 25.—A modified
censorship provision will probably be
written into the House and Senate
conferees report today. The conferees
continued the discussion of that idea
today and expected to report by to-
night. As now planned this provision
will aihi only at censoring news which
contains information of military value
to the enemy. At present such infor-
mation is controlled and withheld un-
der voluntary censorship.
Gregory Bill Passes.
Washington, May 25.—The Gregory
espionage bill, with the censorship
clause embodied, was formally agreed
to today by the House and Senate con-
ferees.
BRITISHERS ARE GONE.
Washington, May 25.—The British
mission left Washington last night
and will cross the Canadian border
some time this morning. This con-
cludes their \isit to America.
THE TENT MEETING.
Tent meeting on South Main street
is still under headway. Souls are find-
ing the Master. We rejoice over the
fact that one soul was sanctified and
others under conviction. Folks in the
vicinity of the tent should have been
out to rejoice with the Saints in the
victory over sin. We are expecting
great things from God. Rev. Fugitt
preached a powerful sermon on the
Prodigal Son.
Those not attending the meeting are
missing a great blessing that the
Master has in store for them. You
are cordially invited to attend the
meeting. Services at 7:45 p. m. Sun-
day preaching at 11 a. m., Sunday
school at 2 p. m. Lecture to men only
at 3 p. m. Preaching at 7:30 p. m.

THE COUNTY FAIR.
While in Honey Grove Tuesday af-
ternoon, Editor Spotts of the Bonham
Favorite, and who is also president of
the Fannin County Fair Association,
had occasion to speak of the forthcom-
ing fair which is to be held in Sep-
tember, and he said that everything
pointed to a successful fair, that the
people throughout the county were
taking interest in the matter and were
talking it at every opportunity. He
is anxious to get the east end of
the county lined up, because, as he
says, it is a fair for the entire coun-
ty, not merely a move to boost Bon-
ham. Honey Grove and the people of
this section, we believe, will do their
part, and be on hand to help in every
way possible to make it a success.
Spotts is a hustler and the right man
at the right place when it comes to
putting a move of that kind on foot
and pushing it through to success.—

France Is Said to Be on Ragged
Edge—-Burden of War Will
Be on Uncle Sam.
By United Press.
Washington, May 25.—Russia is out of the war as far as mil-
itary power is concerned for at least two years. France is about
at the end of her man-power. These are cold facts about the war
situation as seen today by military men who are in position to
know conditions by reason of intimate knowledge of American
observers’ reports. While Great Britain still has considerable
punch left, these military men believe the struggle abroad is rap-
idly reaching the point where the United States must bear the
main burden. The war, they say, will be long. America’s half-
million men to be drawn in September, will only be a drop in
the bucket, and must be followed by other vast increments, if
conditions continue as at present. The west front struggle, the
experts say, has been misinterpreted, and unreliably reported,
either through the Allies’ unwillingness to let the real facts be
known, or through ignorance of the exact facts on the part of
American newspapers.
THE CUNARD LINER
EELTRIA IS SUBBED
TWO AMERICAN NEGROES SAID
TO HAVE BEEN ABOARD VES-

By United Press.
New York, May 25.—-The loss of the
Cunard liner Feltria, with at least two
negro American firemen in the fifty-
three missing, is reported by travelers
from Europe. The travelers also re-
ported the sinking of the British
steamer Maine, which was under an
American charter and flying the
American flag.
DEMANDS AN INQUIRY.
Washington, May 25.—Senator Freil-
inghuysen has introduced a resolu-
tion demanding -a senatorial inquiry
into the recent accidents aboard
American ships due to defective am-

Ottawa, Ont., May 25.—A fine of
$2,500 or five years in prison or both
is what awaits any male Canadian be-
tween the ages of 18 and 45 years who
attempts to leave Canada to avoid
military service, according to a gov-
ernment order in council today.

SUB MENACE BEING
BETTER HANDLED
THIS IS CLAIM MADE BY ENG-
LISH IN THEIR DOPE TODAY
FROM LONDON.
By United Press.
London, May 25.—We dealt more ef-
fective blows at the submarine men-
ace during the past three weeks than
during any corresponding period, de-
clared Premier Lloyd George in the
House of Commons today. Our ship
losses, he said, for May will probably
be under those for April. We are
making satisfactory progress. The
premier paid an eloquent tribute to
the work of the American destroyers
in the patrol fleet. “We can congratu-
late ourselves on an unexpectedly
early improvement in dealing with the
submarine menace. If everybody
economizes and uses all available land
in the production of food, the subma-
rines will not defeat us,” he said.
THIRD SECTION AT FRONT.

What about

EVERYONE TALKS STYLE to
young men—of course you want
it. But style won’t last and
clothes lose their fit without all-
wool and fine tailoring.
That’s a big point for every one
of you.
Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes
are all-wool quality, tailored by
experts so the style is in for
keeps, and incidentally, Varsity
Fifty-Five suits are the leading
styles of the season—ask for
them.
