OUR AUGUST CLEAN-UP sy - e Dresses, Suits and Coats " Will Continue All This Week Until Every Garment Is Closed Out Regardless of Former Prices. THE H. % C. MURRAY CO. E| The Rhode Island granges and farm B bureaus held a join field dience in several inspiring hymms. Scrip- ture was read by Mrs. J. C. Gallup of { Moosup. Rev. W. H. Bath of Norwich, the district superintendent, offered an earnest prayer. “Be Still and Know That I Am God” was rendered by Miss Lenore Ellwood of New London. The speaker of the morning was Dr. J. Benson Baker, a district superintendent from India. He began by telling of the new life which has been put into all mis- sion fields by the great centenary contri- butions. Dr. Baker has been 16 years in India and described some of the cities and vil- lages he had visited and the heathenish forms of their Hindoo worship. He also graphically narrated instances of how Christianity cleans up those filthy heathen houses and makes people of in- telligence and morality. The delegate from India to the genéral conference in Des Moines, la., who opened the great meeting with prayer, was 30 years ago a dirty, low caste boy, whom & mission- ary's wife taught to read. Dr. Baker emphatically gave the lie to reports which have been circulated that Brilish rule in India is oppressive. From years of residence in that country he strongly confirmed the beneficial results of Britain’s oversight, splendid roads, schools. hospitals and churches, with jus- tice for all. An offering for the cause was taken at the close. Among those on the platform were Mrs. Costello Lippitt of Norwich, president of the canip ground auxiliary of the W. F. M. S.; Mrs. J. C. Gallup of Moosup, secretary of the Eastern Nor- wich district of the W. F. M. S.; and Mrs. Jane E. Read, president of the camp ground auxiliary of the W. H. M. 8.

Mrs. Thirkield, wio is the national president of the Woman's Home Missionary society, spoke of how, from the time of Susannah Wesley until now, the heart of woman has always nerved the arm of man in every impor- tant religious movement of Methodism. At present both men's and women's mis- sionary societies ar eengaged, heart and hand, in bringing the lost to Christ. Women are waking up their new duties and privileges in matters religious, social and political. She rapidly sketched the mission work the W. H. M. §. is accomplishing In Porto Rico among the negroes and Indians, the immigrants, eic. An offering for the work was taken.

Farming meth- ods of agricultural cooperation were dis- cussed by several speakers. The aims or the Farm Bureau federation were ex- plained. Its object is to serve the inte- rests of the business of farming. The necesity Por the federation, it was de- clared, was identical with that which resulted in the formation of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor and the United States Chamber of Commerce. The farmer being a laborer and a capitalist, had no place in either of these organi- zations and so the Farm Bureau fede- ration was founded to give him a voice in the conduct of the nation business af- fecting him.

Harry Howes, Jewett g = City. Tel. 11-5.—adv. for Selznick pictures is The Figurehead, by John Lynch, which is the feature at- tracticn at the Breed today and Tuesday. It is a tale of Jove and political in- trigue which gives O'Brien an opportun ty to appear in an entirely new role— a sa “silk-stocking Willie,” who is put up by a secret combination of apparently rival bosses as a candidate for mayor who will be easily beaten by the “ma- chine” nominee. The young aristocrat has really ac- cepted the nomination only as an amuse- ment, but, fired by a transforming Jove, he puts up a great fight and throws fear into the hearts of the bosses, who try all sorts of strategy to get him to withdraw. Finally, they try to “frame” him and in- volve him in a manufactured scandal, and it is then that he shows the great qualities which heretofore were latent in him. Robert FKllis directed The Figurehead, which includes some of the most preten- tious settings and colorful mbob scenes ever planned in metion pictures. A cast remarkable for {ts general excellence supports Mr. O’Brien, some of its mem- bers being Anna Q. Nilsson, Ora Ca- rewe, Edwin Stevens, Joseph Girard, Frances Parks and Kate Price. The company includes 400 persons. Pearl White will also be seen in The Bilack Secret and other pictures on the bill include the Pathe News Topics of the Day and a Century comedy. John R.

The big' attraction is Soldiers of Fortune, a seven part picturization of Richard Harding Davis' famous novel. A New York critic says of this picture: Clay has been one of the best loved characters in fiction for mor ethan two decades, and, with his eequally lovable comrades, Mé- Williams and Teddy Langham, we ean discover, no immediate cessation of the public’s love for them, Whether it be the novel .or the sereen that the public turns to. The cast chosen by Mr. Dawn to in- terpret the various characters is best de- scribed as “an all star” cast. A reading of ‘the names will sufice to indicate this. Mr. Kerfy adds an illuminating page to the scrapbook of his experiénces in the motion picture studio and on location. He is always in the part and makes it live up to every demand of the exacting author. Miss Nilsson and Miss Starke, and Messrs. Beery, Lucas and MeDowell seem wholly adaptéd” to the roles given them, and Mr. Kohler and Frank Wally, Clay's “comrades” in every action, join with our hero in several throlling exploits in Olancho. The other feature is William Desmond in A Broadway Cowboy.
