One year—but such a year! ! Thenywe thought the blood of our sons ha_d made the world safe for democracy. Today we find it gasping in the throes -of disintegration. o Jealg:y. hatred-and suspicion of one another hgs been engendered in the governments and people qgg‘}urope. No one trusts another. Open discord is everywhere.” - . . Russia is a seething cauldrom, the Balk;na are a melting -pot, and Turkey is a living. hell. s g Secret diplomacy and the conference of Paris have pro-|. duced not honor and justice, but rather Shantung and Fiume. The peace of nations is a misnomer—a phgntom of the “brain which does not even follow its own convictions. ) We see a cessation of armed conflict, but no where is there tranquility. . Euro;?e is pauperized and a hotbed of bolshevism. England is staggering .under a mountain of debt and the burdens of the Irish question. = ;s Mexico is in perpetual eruption, and the lesser nations of the western hemisphere are smoldering with unrest. Labor and capital are at each other’s throats the world over, and governmental threats and. appeals alike fall upon deaf ears. Profiteering is rampant and no agency ‘seems powerful enough to check it. Collective sanity is nowhere to be found. i One year ago we exclaimed: ‘“‘Safe for democracy!” Today it is the survival of the fittest. But this condition can not last. An end must come. The government must take action, drastic as the conditi may warrant. 5 Wn who condiders himself greater than the people “be ‘crushed by the nation. There is no other alternative, if we are to preserve the free country our forefathers builded for us. Those whom the gods would destroy.they first make mad. ®: ] » 0 v WHAT WILL YOU-GIVE? ‘Alr the little ones of this community are beginning to wonder what Santa Claus will bring them this Christmas. Daughters are making veiled suggestions, and the sons are openly bidding for parental favor at thjs time. Mother has her secret desires, and father is checking up to see if he can afford a new suit or a pair of shoes. The family eye is turning to Christmas’and is bright with: expectation. Yuletide joy is hovering in the offing and all arms are-extended to it. ; But what will you give? That is the old, old‘story—the one which each person must determine.for himself. . i Our local merchants are ready: for the rush. “They: are prepared to satisfy every legitimate demand.

Nancy Lee, a young Southern girl, is stifled by the hereditary family pride which keeps her parents pover- ty-stricken and makes them insist that she refuse to marry Anthony Weir, whom she really loves, because his social standihg does not come up to the Lee tradition. In an attempt to ease their financial burden, she be- comes the wife. of a dissolute New Yorker, George Trevor and comes North to live with him. In the speedy set in which her hus- band travels, Nancy soon finds her- self enmeshed in many difficult sit- uations from which she makes every effort to free herself ,only to get into greater trouble. Finally, Trevor dies and she finds herself a widow, penntless, friendless and in debt. How she manages to set herself on-her feet again—financially, men- tally and morally—and even wins back the love of the man she has al- ways wanted, makes a grippingly dramatic tale in which Norma Tal- ‘madge’s artistry shines brilliantly.
