SMITHS

There will be a large crowd on hand tonight at Smiths theatre. to see the second of Bostock & Hennessy's pro- grams. All new acts and pictures will be seen and from every indication the bill is a cracker-jack.
 This program will be seen only on Monday and Wednesday. On Tuesday, the high school graduation exercises will occupy the theatre and on Thurs day another all new show will come to remain for the latter part of the week
 The vaudeville acts which appear to- day are notable ones: Miss Pauline La Moline, until recently one of Philadel- phia's exclusive set, will present her entert aiming act, which has brought her success everywhere she has ap- peared. Miss La Moine is one of the very few really clever young ladies ir vaudeville. The well known comedian, Tom Fletcher, late star with Williams & Walkers "Bandanna Land," is an- other welcome visitor. Tom is one of the boys who can make anyone laugh. It is doubtful if Tom Fletcher has superior in his line; he is certainly one of our best comedians. Hoey and Walters will promote more 1nirth and hilarity with their new oddity, My New Partner" Greiner and La Foss, the worlds greatest comedy acrobats, are too well known to need descrIb- ing.
 All new pictures will be shown con- sisting of four reels of the very best in motion photographic reproductions.

King Manuel Plans
 To Crush Anarchy
Special from United Press3

Especial from United Press.)
 Lisbon. June 21-hsbon is alive with troops today in anticipation of disor- ders following King Manuels inaugu- ration of a campaign against anarchy and his move to punish the slayers of his father and brother, the late King Carlos and Crown Prince Luiz. The arrest of several of the accused leaders in the plot of 16 months ago means that King Manuel has concluded that tho time is ripe to establish a. vigorous government and proceed against the renegades who have thus far been able to escape punishment through the gov ernment's fear that their prosecution would precipitate a revolt.
 There is still a grave danger of re- volt but the government has" been quietly at work on military organiza- tion and it is now believed that any attempt at a demonstration against the government will be crushed in its infancy.

PEOPLES FORUM
 FOR CLERKS HOLIDAY

To the Editor of the Farmer, Sir:-
 In many large cities in this state and Massachusetts the retail stores have a half holiday every week during the months of July and August. In this city there are many who work in the holiday every week during those two hot months, but do not know just how to go about it to get it.
 1t has been suggested that the Ev- ening Farmer, which always seems to be willing to help out the working people, if asked, would advocate the half holiday. In the dry goods stores they have shortened the work-day one hour during the two months above mentioned, but though it is appreciated by those who work in the stores, they would much prefer to have a halliday, either Tuesday or Wednesday after noon.
 Most of the people who work in fac tories can look forward to having Sat- urday afternoon off, also those who are in offices but there is no holiday for the retail office store.
 Business is always dull during July and August and many employers would not hesitate about giving the employees a half holiday, only one will writer is sure that it can be brought about if someone will advocate it.
 The Clerks Union'' could, if they would Why should Bridgeport be less than Hartford, Water bury. Springfield, Holyoke and many other cities where the half holiday is looked forward to and enjoyed by hun dreds of salespeople.
 Will The Farmer use it's influence in this matter? Thank you for att tention.
