I won't take another smoke until I have saved enough money in abstaining from the use of the weed, to pay for the Liberty loan bond I bought." The speaker, a junior, carefully sealed a tin box containing his pipe, a can of P. A. and some cigarettes. The box will.stay sealed until he pays for his $50 bond in "smokes.'' The box is labeled, "Not to be opened for 45 weeks." "I'll probably succumb several times between now and then," was the ab- stainer's further comment," but they won't take me in the army and this is the least I can do to help." * * * * * 1* AT THE THEATERS YOU CAN GO TO- "Nothing But the Truth," at the Garrick. * *I * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "Flora Belle," at the Whitney * * Saturday, Oct. 20. * * * * * TODAY Whitney- "Happy" Lou Whit- ney and associate players in "Hel- lo Bill." * Majestic-Vaudeville. whom we are making common cause against a common foe. To subscribe to the Liberty loan is to perform a service of patriotism. "Therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States of America,, do appoint Wednesday, the 24th of October, as Liberty day, and urge and advise the people to assem- ble in their respective communities and pledge to one another and to the government that represents them the fullest measure of financial support.

That day will be observed throughout the country in a final ef- fort to drive the second Liberty loan issue to its goal. Efforts will be made in every ham- let and metropolis 'to end the loan campaign in a successful clean-sweep of the entire nation. The text of the President's procla- mation follows in part: "The second Liberty loan gives the people of the United States an op- portunity to lend their funds to their government to sustain their country at war. The might of the United States is being mobilized and organized to strike a mortal blow at autocracy in defense of outraged American rights and of the cause of liberty. Billions' of dollars are required to arm, feed, and clothe the brave men who are going forth to fight our country's bat- tles and to assist the nations with serve banks. "The people responded nobly to the call of the first Liberty loan with an oversubscription of more than 50 per cent. Let the response to be second loan be even greater, and let the amount be so large that it will serve as an assurance of unequaled support to hearten the men who are to face the tire of battle for us. Let the re- sult be so impressive and emphatic that it will echo throughout the em- pire of our enemy as an index of what America intends to do to bring this war to a victorious conclusion. (Signed and sealed) "WOODROW WIL§ON." Plans for "Liberty Day" exercises to be held at the University have not yet been announced. 3 ED H M I M LZZ iZ.ZZZ M AT THE WHITNEY "Flora Belle," queen of the season's musical offerings, will be the attrac- tion at the Whitney theater Saturday, Oct. 20, with a cast of 50 people. The producer sends the attraction here with an especially brilliant cast and a record of six months at the Casino theater, New York. Charming music, bright lines, an original book, and lively dancing make this an unusually attractive pro- duction. The scenes of the play take place in Russia. A princess, without her husband's knowi dge, has been a cab- aret singer, but believing that a princ- ess should be cold and dignified, she forgets her old ways and almost loses her husband. She returns to cabaret life for just one night and is discov- ered there by her husband, who has been driven away from home by her coldness, and as usual everthing ends happily. As for music, there is the dreamy waltz that rivals in its swing the fa- mous "Merry Widow." Then there is a march that charms fully as greatly, and numerous other songs, duets and conserted numbers, that are equally pleasing. AT THE MAJESTIC The Majestic is offering an unusual- ly attractive program for the latter half of this week, beginning today. Foley and Massimo offer thrilling acrobatic stunts and instrumental" work and dancing as well in their act; Jessie Morris and Jack Beasley give us something really original in "Their Own Ideas of Fun"; and the famous "Kill Kare Kouple," John and Winnie Henning, who were a tremendous vogue in the east, are sure to please, with their attractive mannerisms, and clever chatter. "The Sales Lady and the Porter" is a delightful little vaudeville vehicle presented by Billy Clark and Ethel Chappelle and it is pretty sure to please. However, the main feature of the program, "The School Master," is offered by Hendrix and Belle Isle. Three bonnie little girls, and three irrepressible boyish looking young- sters., will have the time of their lives with the lovable old schoolmaster. The usual Saturday matinee at the Majestic will be dispensed with this week, on account of the M. A. C. game.
