SIMPSON LAMBASTS
THE HOHFNZOLLERNS
VERBAL HOWITZER FROM PARA
GOULD SAYS THERE WILL BE
ONLY TEUTON SMOKE IN HA-I
DES DURING NEXT 100 YEARS I
A real pyrotechnic, patriotic, eagle
screaming, Teuton-defying speech
was delivered to a large audience at ;
the Majestic Theatre here last night
by the Hon. S. R. Simpson, a verbal j
howitzer from Paragould, who paint-1
ed a lurid picture of what this coun-1
try would look like if the Kaiser had !
carried out his dastard!> plans to |
humble France and England and |
then iH>unce on the United States
while this nation was in a state of
military unpreparedness. Mr. Simp
son declared we would be bowing
and scraping to German snobs with
names as long as a clothes line and
with morals as corrupt as the imps
of perdition.
Mr. Simpson came to Marianna
upon invitation of the committee in
charge of the Second Liberty Bond
sale the purpose of the rally being
t resB upon the people here the
in ance of investing their money
in the bond issue. The speaker de
clared America had done nobly by
the allies, that American money, food
supplies and munitions hud carried
the war during the past eight months,
that American aid had put new cour
age in the exhausted French soldiers,
had strengthened their faltering
spirits and planted a new hope in
their hearts, and now that Pershing
and his army are preparing for active
participation in the big drive next
spring, Mr. Simpson predicted there
wouldn’t be anything but Teuton
smoke in hades for the next hundred
years.
He made a powerful plea for the
brave boys who are giving up busi
ness opportunities, home comforts
and all that is near and dear to
them, to defend the flag and vindi
cate the honor and uphold the tra
ditions of this country, declaring no
sacrifice upon the part of the people
would be commensurate with the
cor\rir*oa tho hnvc in (ha a rm tr orn
rendering. He pictured the unpre
cedented prosperity of this country,
and especially in Lee county, stating
he had been informed by represent
ative citizens that the present cotton
though short would yield approxi
mately five million dollars, and that
the total expense of making the
crop would not exceed three million,
concluding that out of the profit of
two million dollars the people certain,
ly ought to invest ten per cent, o:
$200,000 in government bonds that
bear four per cent interest.
Throughout his vigorous and stir
ring address Mr. Simpson was re
peatedly applauded and when he had
finished, upon suggestion of W. B.
Mann, chairman of the Lee County
Liberty Loan Committee, the audi
ence gave a rising vote of thanks to
Mr. Simpson.
The allotment of bonds for Lee
county is $165,000. So far more than
one hundred thousand dollars has
been subscribed. Those in charge
of the campaign want Lee county
people to take $200,000 worth of the
bonds, and to that end committees
will begin work within the next two
or three days.

“ TIME FOR ACTION NOW”
New York, Oct. 16.—Every Ameri
can's paramount duty is to stand
behind the president and Congress
and support “anything and every
thing our government does in this
war," William J. Bryan told members
of the New York Advertising Club
today. He said he came from the
west to spend three days here,
speaking for woman suffrage, and
at the request of Secretary McAdoo,
campaigning for the second Liberty
loan.
‘The furnishing of money,” said
Mr. Bryan, "is one of the most im
portant ways of helping the govern
ment. Before we entered the war
it was a matter of opinion and dis
cussion, but it is no longer a ques
tion if opinion. It is time for action
now.”

16 Reasons Why You Should Own j
This Watch I
I Head the 16 features pointed out by the arrows and circles j|
above. Anyone who knows watch values will tell you that these 16
points of superiority were never before combined in a watch to sell ,;
at anywhere near this price. 1
You may have your choice of either 12 size, k‘Extra-Thin,” or j
16 size, slightly larger and sturdier, cased in a high grade gold filled <;
case which is guaranteed to wear for 20 years. ■;
A high grade 19 jewel watch adjusted to temperature and four !;
positions has always cost many dollars more than this price. I;
So we consider this a most remarkable value. In fact the great- ;!
est we have ever seen in all our years of watch experience. j
I It will pay you to come in and see these watches. Come today ;
; as our supply is limited.
Sixteen definite, easily proven reasons that make the new 19 >
' Jewel South Bend Special Watches the best timekeepers at the >
price ever manufactured. ;
