Liquor, dope, white slavery, all these bugaboos of a past generation have given way to a new menace that threatens the very live of the nation. at if K 5 A 1-1 3- -1 r families, dope still" fewer, while ! wliite slavery as symbolized by red lights and segregated districts, has practically ceased to exist. But Ju venile Delinquency as expressed in the amazing and unexplainable moral decay and modern yuuth is a i problem that reaches into every com munity and threatens every home. It is difficult for many parents to understand the freedom of modern thought and conduct, and it is hard for tht-m to believe that their child could be in danger. All such should see "THE ROAD TO Ruin" which comes to the Par mele theatre Monday and Tuesday, August 14th and 15th, and which is described as "A Flaming Warning o the Parents of America." "The Road to Ruin," which is based on an ac tual case, is an amazingly frank story of the temptations confront ing the children of today and con tains r. tremendcis lesson, while at the same time, because of the ex-J tremely able handling of a delicate subject, it is first rate entertainment.

Webb and children, who enjoyed a visit at the Weidman home for a short time.

From Wednesnay Dally j The entries for the contest for the most attractive lawn in the city have been quite large and repre sent all sections of the city, assur ing that Chairman W. G. Kieck and his committee will have a good job on August 15th when they make a tour of the city and pass judgment on the various lawns that have been entered by their owners In the con test. There are many very attractive lawns over the city that their owners may well be proud of and all of whom should be in the contest to give the widest range for the com mittee to work on in making their decision, as many a fine and well kept lawn will be left without con sideration if not entered in the con test. The committee has announced that it makes no difference whether the lawns be large or small, whether they surround large and expensive homes or small cottages, they will receive the same consideration from the judges, so that all who wish to enter their lawns may do so without any handicap whatsoever. The entries are made by merely notifying Mr. Kieck, and Bill will do the rest of the work with his com mittee in looking over every lawn that has been listed as a contender for one of the three prizes given by the Chamber of Commerce for the most attractive lawn.
