ISIS IN NEW YORK"

Into the heated atmosphere of
modern drama where machine-made
plays vie with each other for a few
weeks farce. isis in New York"
comes as a cooling breeze blown
across wild meadows. There is no
sense of effort in the unfolding of
the plot. There lis no extraordinary
event struck off at white heat. 1t is
just sweetly moving tale told with
rare humor. directness and delicate
touches of sentiment and keen
strokes of character study. The
charm of the play lies not only in
its sweet and wholesome story. but
in its description of the Indiana
characters where the scene is laid.
Sis is sal dto be one of the most
interesting characters ever seen on
the stage, and will be seen at the
Elks' opera house next Saturday.

laughable situations and a budget of
original song and dance numbers by
the authors add spice and color to

President Kingsley of the New
York Life, in recent address before
the Association of Life Insurance
Presidents" urged a modification of
the Armstrong laws with respect to
payments for new business-limiting
the cost but allowing companies dis
erection in methods; with respect to
the contingency reserve-the present
depression in the price Of securities
having shown the danger of present
limitations; and a removal of the
requirement of annual dividends on
sub-standard policies. He says the
business Should have been first
purified and then set free" and that
the result of the Armstrong legisla-
ton has been Ito strike a paralyzing
blow at the activities of all the
companies" which was not what the
committee intended nor what the
people desired.

book will be worked of first, then

everybody and start things off with
whirl.

Bailey in a picture, but they say that
he opens up amazingly when he gets
with a bunch of boys and girls. Those
who have heard him say that he is
the funniest man in America for boys
and girls.
Anyway he Is tickled to death to
get in our program and says he will
enjoy it as much as any OF the boys
or girls.
There are other features that can't
be described fully until the artists
have been conferred with.
The afternoon will be tuli-too full,

ers to make the usual appropriation
from the public treasury to aid the as
sociation in carrying out its object.
While the commissioners acknowledged
the helpfulness and encouragement the
fair here had given to the agricultural
and fruit growing interests of the
county, they did not feel justified in
voting it any financial assistance this
year in view of other extraordinary
demands upon the public funds This
action of the commissioners stimulat-
