WHAT YOUR SUBSCRIPTION
MEANS.
When you subscribe to a Liberty
Loan you subscribe to the sentiment
that the world must be made safe j
for democracy and subscribe to the i
fund that is to make the world safe
for democracy.
You subscribe to the belief that j
innocent women and children on un-|
armed ships shall not be sent to j
the bottom of the sea; that women j
and children and old men shall not j
be ravished and tortured and murd-!
ered under the plea of military i
necessity; that nurses shall not be!
shot for deeds of mercy, nor hospi- j
tal ships be sunk without warning, j
or hospitals and unfortified cities j
be bombed or cannonaded with long-:
range guns.
You subscribe to the doctrine that
small nations have the same rights j
as great and powerful ones; that!
might is not right, and that Ger-1
many shall not force upon the world ,
the dominion of her military masters ’
You subscribe, when you sub- j
scribe to a Liberty Loan, to the be
lief that America entered this war:
for a just and noble cause; that our
soldiers in France and our sailors j
on the sea are fighting for right
and justice.
And you subscribe to the Ameri-;
can sentiment that they must and ;
shall be powerful,. efficient, and
victorious.
SOME OF THE BITS YOUR
LIBERTY BOND WILL DO.
If you buy a $100 bond of the
Fourth Liberty Loan you are lend
in" the United States Government
enough money to feed a soldier in
France a little more than seven
months Or you have furnished
enough money to give him a com
plete outfit of winter and summer
clothing, including shoes and stock
ings, and slicker and overcoat and
blankets, with enough left over to
arm him with a good revolver. You
have done that much to beat back
the Hun.
It takes $35 more to arm him
with a rifle with a bayonet on it,
and if you buy a second $100 bond
you furnish him with this rifle and
1,000 cartridges for it; and there
will still be enough of your money
left to purchase a good-sized bomb
to throw in a dugout, or demolish
a machine gun together with the
Huns operating it.

tit JONES”
I George M. Cohan Makes Screen
Debut at Coliseum Theater
In “Broadway Jones.”
| The widely heralded motion pic
1 ture debut of George M. Cohan;
!
j takes place at the Coliseum theater,
| tomorrow night. “Broadway Jones”, |
I his greatest stage success affords!
i , !
| him his initial screen vehicle in which
he is supported by an excellent cast,
j including such well known film fav-!
‘ orites as Marguerite Snow, of “The,
j Million Dollar Mystery" fame, Rus
sell Bassett, the veteran character;
actor of many screen successes,
Crawford Kent and Ida Darling.
The story tells of a small town
youth who secures a goodly in
heritance and journeys to the Great
White Way to “burn it up.” After
various exciting experiences, he finds '
that his money has dwindled to1
nothing and learns that there are
many unpaid bills to be met. After
complications involving a rich widow
whom he asks to marry, he turns
back to his home town and starts
life anew, taking over his father’s
chewing gum plant, where new ex
periences await him. Sparkling
with a continuous series of humor
ous situations, offset by various
dramatic scenes, this subject under
the direction of Joseph Kaufman,
presents a breezy story of rapid
| action and human interest, a typical
i George M. Cohan production.
\ When produced at the George M.
! Cohan theater, on Broadway some
i three years ago “Broadway Jones”
i immediately proved itself the big
| gest popular success in which Mr.
Cohan ever appeared, as well as the
i hit of the entire theatrical season,
i Frequently sought by motion picture
i producers without success, this story
j presents an admirable screen sub
ject and with George M. Cohan in
j the original character, should more
; than duplicate its stage popularity
! among patrons of high-class pictures.
The show will be shown at the
| Coliseum Sunday and Monday nights
; and the admission will be fifty cents,
■ with reserved seats two-bits extra.
| The show will start at 8:30 o’clock
| Sunday night.
