"La Miaerahles," The Great Mel¬ odrama, to be Featared.
(Continued from page 1) to support the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy.
"Your patriotimn and loyalty hsve never been questioned," he told the large as««mbila(re. "We are buying bonds not for charity. These men who are in service don't want our charity. It would be a disgrace to their uni¬ form. They are fighting for princi¬ ple ar>d tor duty. When you buy bonds you ar? doing it for principle and for liberty."
He said there may be men and wo¬ men (but not in F'reeport) -who would 8«y that they subscribed before and say "let eome one else do it now. It is their turn.''
"He said when the captain tells the boys "over there" to "carry on," they don't say it is someone else's turn. Why? Because they are pa¬ triotic Americans. He said the man or woman who dared say they would not subscribe was not worthy to be caried American citizens.
The Congressman said he would be willing to bet his last winter's hat that Freeport would exceed its bond quota three times over. Someone in the audience asked about standing for the wager if they went four binies ov¬ er, and the Congressman said he would stand for tnat, too.
A vivid description was then giv¬ en by the Congressman of his recent trip to France aa one of the Con¬ gressional Committee to inspect con¬ ditions on th^ firing line. He referred to the economy practices by the French people and of the country s noble, heroic work, the service Kiven hv France lo thf United States many years ago; of the great loss of life, men ana women and children, in the present war, towns and homes devast- tated, but said that noble, heroic France rises .supreme above it all, givinpr promise that democracy is safe in her hands. Chaos, plunder, ruin, ravapres, desolation and other deplora¬ ble conditions in the valley of the F"tr:np. which he visited, were pictur¬ ed in words.
Referring to the thin line of French, British and 4i"ericans, holding in check the Germans, and the onslaught by the enemy, the Congressman said:
"O, mv friends, that line knows neither the laws of nature, humanity or civilization. It is as if the very flood gates of hell were let toose. How are we going to stop the hurri¬ cane to save civilization and humani¬ ty? Only by sending over there as quickly as we can, one nvillion sol¬ diers, three million or five million, and by God, we're going to do it." (Cheers and applause.)
He paid tribute to the Red Cross women and others in uniform and said they were doing nobly and heroic- ly in hospitals, in knitting and solicit¬ ing funds for the soldiers.
An attraction extraordinary at the .American Theatre, South Main street, FreeiJort, next Monday and Tuesday afternoons and evenines, will be "Lei .Mi.serabies," Victor Hugo's famous story, which has been played at the Lyric Theatre, Manhattan, for the past three months. William Famum is the feature artist in the great pro¬ duction, playing the role of the im¬ mortal Jean Valjean, and all who have heard of or witnessed his ap¬ pearances in picture work can appre¬ ciate what may be expected of "l/es Miserable*." In this production he is accredited with having done the best work during his career.
Human interest is the keynote of the production which is admitted to be the greatest and most enter'tain- ing of all Victor Hugo's melodramas. A crowded house should greet each production of the famous fiction work.

pended on," said the Congressman. It was so from the days of the Revolu¬ tion. He said he knew the anguish of the women. Knew it by the stars on the service flags drenched with tears of sorrow when the mothers saw their boys go away from hime for service. He said he knew their heart Bobs and his heart went out to them. The tears of sorrow nnd .sadnoss would be turned to tears of joy when their soldier boys came marching home in victory. He hoped they would have consolation until that time in the thought that they had given the na¬ tion the noblest thing they had. The
JOHN LYON LOSES CORN COMPETITION
Henry Vnierhill Wins With The
Challenger ^xth---Another
Contest Next Aatamn.
Mineola (Special)—Twelve grow¬ ers of hard or field corn in Nassau County participated in a competition which emanated from a challenge by former (Comptroller John Lyon of Rockville Centre, at the county court house last Saturday afternoon, to as¬ certain which could show the best production in weight from seventy pounds of corn on the ear.
Henry Underhill, a Jericho farmer, won the contest, his exhibit, known as "Reid's Yellow Dent," weighing 60 pounds when shelled. Counselor Lyon's exhibit, "White Cap Yellow Dent," finished sixth, although there was only 1 3-4 pounds difference between his corn and Mr. Underbill's.
Interest in the contest was keen throughout and much fun had by the pari^icipants.
Charles J. Smith of Seaford, got his corn to the Court Hou.se after traveling by wagon, train and trol¬ ley. He said that he just wanted to beat John Lyon, and furnished a sur¬ prise with what he called his "horse¬ flesh corn," a mixture of red and yel¬ low grains. His corn weighed a quar¬ ter of a pound heavier than that of Mr. Lyon.
At the conclusion of the competi¬ tion, Robert Seaman of Jericho, pres¬ ident of the Queens-Nassau County Agricultural Society, who had donated a setting of eggs to the winner, an¬ nounced that he would donate anoth¬ er prize for a competition to be held in the autumn. The standing of Sat¬ urday's contestants was as follows:
Henry Underhill, Jericho, 60 lbs.; Reuben Wallston, Hicksville, 59 3-4; Arthur S. Underhill, Syosset, 59 5-8; J. E. Davis Estate, Brookville, by Charles Luyster, .=58 1-2; W. H. Rem¬ sen, Glen Head, Brympton Woods Farm, 58 1-8; Charles J. Smith, Sea¬ ford, .58 1-2; John Lyon, Rockville Centre, 58 1-4; G. Thomas Powel, Glen Head, 58; James Willets, Glen Cove, 57 1-2; John A.

After paying tribute to his sec¬ retary, J. Iluyler Ellison (a Free- port citizen) as "the best secretary any Congressman ever had," which remark was greeted \^ith applause, the L ongressnian told of the many loiters he received from constituents and how Ellison aided in looking af¬ ter them. He told of hearing from ' ne woman who had a husband and two sons in the war and said the only regret was ahe had no more to give. He said he had no doubt of the spirit of patriotism of Freeport peo- pk' Mnd the splendid response they would make to the Liberty Loan ap¬ peal. This war, he said, was not a picnic excursion to the Great South Bay. It is the greatest conflict the nation has ever engaged in, and will tax its uttermost resources and man power.

Some persons started a fire in the brush on the west side of the Hicks¬ ville road on Mond&y, which had it not been for the efforts of the Massa- "iMlua Fire Department, would have destroyed the Episcopal Church chap¬ el and other nearby property. After the firemen concluded thai all danger was over, and had departed, a spark was carried by the wind, and the lions with the roof by Her¬ man Meyer and destroyed from twen¬ ty-five to thirty tons of fertilizer stor¬ ed there by Charles Yourasher, also some valuable farm implements upon which there was no insurance. 'The barn was insured. The house adjoin¬ ing, occupied by George Bush, was saved by the activity of the fii-emen with the aid of the Hicksville, Central Park and Amityville departments, who kindly responded and relieved the Massapeaua men, who were about exhausted. Several outhouses were destroyed on the Bush property.
