BUSTER BROWN

There was time when John Brown

OF the Brown family, but in those
days he has given place to the youth
full scion of the house OF Brown
Buster by name. Buster Brown, and
who dares not know him, comes to
us in theatrical form, March 16

House will be given over to an even
ing OF joyous mirth, accentuated by
tuneful numbers and the latest catchy
songs Nor is this all, for the bevy

Joyable one, the Bobby Burns

In the support of Master Rosen, pc
tite Leila Cautna will be seen as
Mary Jane" while the English pam
feminist Jack Bell as "Tige" Bus
ter's ever present dog, is also an
efficient member OF the best cast ever
given this popular play. New scene

maids galore will be in evidence. New

JOB OF THE COP
LOSES ITS GLORY.
CONSIDERED CHEAP
AND UNATTRACTIVE
BRASS BUTTONS AND BLUE
CLOTHES NO LONGER LURE
THE NORWEGIAN.

II is indeed an unusual thing. bu,
the city of Norfolk has been forced
to advertise for men who will serve
as policemen at 1925 per diem.
The little town of Kimball, just
to the west OF us, is also advertising
for a capable man 10 discharge the
duties of chief of police.
These facts speak well for the
opportunities enjoyed everywhere
for work OF all kinds at good pay. in
fact there is no excuse for the idle
ness of any man who is able and
competent to work.
There was n time when every city
contained hundreds OF men who look
ed with fond ambition to becoming
a policeman, notwithstanding the
fact that his "lot is not a happy
one,' but in these days the glory and
importance of the Office zone Of the
finest" seems to have been dimme1
by the larger compensation in other
fields
once the proud figure Of "the cop
on the corner" was alluring to the
new arrival from the rural districts.
The stately poise Of the helmet. the
glitter OF the brass buttons, the
comfortable defense Of the hardwood
billy" and the general air of inf
mite superiority, thrilled the rustic
and made the goal of his ambition
job on the force
Now alas there are no rustics. The
boys from the country strike town
now with half a dozen schemes. and
before night they have an option or
two three or four concessions. and
occasionally plan a sltyscraper be-
fore the first evening wears away.
and the next morning they are APP
plying for a cpecial officer or two to
watch their property"
or course a thriving town has its
own troubles, and brass buttons and
fair pay cannot entlce men who can
earn double that much. but 1t is
rather sad to see commercialism in
wade that realm in which "the
cop" was the climax Of ordinary am
bition, and his imperial job the envy
OF daily admiring throng. His place
by the peanut stand is scorned and
his personal pulchritude goes Cor
naught His job don't pay.

STATE BEING RULED
BY RECKLESS HAND.

Politically West Virginia is the
most corrupt state in the Union to-
day. 1t is growing so rotten that the
party in power seems to be falling
to pieces of it's own corrupt weight.
That the end of such corruption is
near can be seen by the chickering's
among the powers that are now
ruling with n reckless hand. Let the
people beware and look to the future
interests of the state.
