SMITH FAMILY Is LARGE
What Election Of Benner x. as Presi-
dent of Alta Club Recalls.

The election OF Benner X Smith as
president OF the Alta club brings to mind
not only the numerical strength OF the
Smith branch OF the human race but
their seemingly inordinato and insatiate
appetite for public positions and the SAL
aries thereunto belonging. Benner X

for him to feel 'chesty' on this score,
as there are others.

County Clerks office. Andrew Smith. a
deputy sheriff; Cowley Smith. a desk SER

A BUSY DRAMATIC SEASON
Worlds Playwrights Are Furnishing
Many New Works.

Our theatrical critics speak OF the pres
cnt munger for the DRAMA" OF the al
most pathetic avidity with which even
crudely constructed plays are followed II
they but reflect human nature and pre-
sent situations that make a genuine ap-
real to the emotions. II cannot be said
that playwriShtS are not alive TO their
opportunity, They have been so far from
Idle in the last year or so, and the pres
ent season has furnished abundant evi-
oencc OF their industry. New plays ga
lore have been produced In England. in
France, in Germany In Australia and ia
Russia, and some OF these we shall
doubtless sec sooner or later. Every
playwright OF distinction has come for
ward with new work, and il even a
few of the additions to the International
repertoire survive the season WIN have
fine record.
Thus Mr. Pincro, tho premier EngIIah

As the conduit was placed one and ono
