opera company and Conreid's Met
ropolitan of New York. For the
vaudeville circuit he is singing in
a single act musical sketch of an
old opera star brought down to
singing in concert halls for liv-
ing. 1t is put on in three scenes
and is said to be a rare combina-
ton of melody and humor. Byers
and Hermann have an acrobatic
novelty including pantomime and
fun. A somersault on the slack
wire is one of the classy features
of the act. A battle of wits be-
tween a politician, reporter and
fortune teller is the razor edge

CAN VARY WAYS
OF PLAYING 1T
Leader Gives Sketch of DiStin-
guished Persons and Queries
Who They Are.

a good guessing game IS called who
is Hep" 1t may be played by any
number OF persons. and is suited 10
both old and young. Let the leader give
a brief sketch Of some famous man or
woman and at its close ask: who
was he?" or ''Who was she2' The
first player TO guess correctly scores
one point. and then he gives similar
sketch. The game goes on thus as long
as desired. and the player having the
largest score at the end wins. 1t would
add 10 the interest if. a prize be offered,
say a book Of some kind. preferably a
biography Of some celebrated person.
The game may be varied by telling an
anecdote Of some famous person. living
or dead, but It must be agreed at the
beginning of the game whether the
sketches and anecdotes are TO be Of the
past or the present. For Illustration.
II 70 IS the past the leader might say:
He was born on an island, PLAYED
there when a boy. left his home for an
other land, won its victories and had
himself crowned and finally died on an
island" OF course the answer to this
IS quite easy-Napoleon.
II the game is Of anecdotes there
about celebrated people, beginning with
the little hachet" OF our colonial davs.
Another good guessing game, perhaps
little moro difficult is called Guess
ing My Thought" The leader thinks
OF an object in view. and then each
player In turn has a chance to tell what
he thought the leader thought When
they have all given their guesses the
first player tells his thought. and then
each in turn must show how his thought
was like it.
Another way OF playing the game IS
10 give each player a slip of paper
and a pencil, telling him to write the
name Of some object on the slip and fold
down the writing. Then put the slips
into hat and mix them, after which
each player should take a slip from the
hat and write the name Of some OBJ
Ject different from what he first wrote.
below the fold. Again the slips should
be folded down and put into the hat
and mixed, each player taking one slim
out He must then write a few lines
OF doggerel connecting in some way
the two objects named on the slip ne
holds. and when all are ready they are
read aloud. II will be strange indeed
II this does not raise many a laugh.

Republicans United and Are Con-
fident Of Victory---Chairman
Norell Issues Statement

With election day close at
hand, the local party leaders
have redoubled their efforts and
have are bending their energies
toward making a strong finish
Of the campaign. B. F. O'Neil,
chairman of the Republican
State Central committee, issued
a statement yesterday claiming
a majority of 1850 for "Gov-
ernor" Brady aud therest of the
state ticket. In this calculation
he figured a majority of 80
for Elmore, which has been
Democratic in preceding cleo
tons. County Chairman No.
rell, however, is claiming the
county for Taft and Brady by
300 majority and predicts the
election of the entire county
ticket by a safe majority. The
vote in this county will be 30
per cent heavier than that OF
two years ago and has been
been carefully polled by the Re-
publican managers. 1t is fully
expected that both Mountain
Home and Glenns Ferry will re-
turn substantial majorities for
the Republican candidates. All
of the Republican candidates
are hard at work in various
parts of the county and report
encouragingly to headquarters
at frequent intervals.
The registration in all of the
precincts is unusually good and
by Saturday night the registra-
ton lists will undoubtedly show
a total of over 1900 voters.
About half this number are
voters in Mountain Home pre-
rainct, while Glenns Ferry will
answer for nearly 300 more.
In Atlanta the vote will exceed
12O, but the Socialist vote there
may cut down the effective vot-
ing strength to less than rs.
Pine will cast close to 80 ballots,
with less than one-fourth given
to the Socialist ticket. May
field, increased by the Sunny
side territory, will vote at least
100, while Big Camas will throw
fully rs votes into the scale,
most of them being conceded
to the Republican nominees.
The vote in the remaining pre-
cincts will be about the same as
two yeaas ago, except some OF
them, notably Little Camas and
Cold Springs, will become Re-
publican in political complex
ion.

ROBERT LANSDON

Although bitterly assailed by
a few personal enemies, Robert
Lansdon, the Republican nom
inee for the Office Of Secretary OF
State, today stands high in the
estimation of the people of Ida
ho, and his re. election is certain.
During his term of Office, just
closing, he has handled an in
credible amount OF business,
and it yet remains for any one
to pick a flaw in his record. His
