Art Theater.

Despite the inclemency of the wealth
er on Saturday night last, so disastrous
to the open-air shows, a bumper house
is the report from the ever popular
Art. The exterior of this theater has
undergone a perfect transformation,
the spacious vestibule having been
painted white, with high dado in
light sage green, upon which is super
imposed a plain but very artistic border
design of dramatic masks and ribbons
alternating, done in olive green, the
latter color being also used on the
doors and the sashes of the window.
The orientally shaped cupola surmount-
ing the central kiosk is painted in alum
mum. Messrs. Reilly and Jacobsen
are responsible for the decorative
scheme. To crown it all, there has been
installed, in addition to the numerous
incandescent lights, a magnificent fam
ing arc-of the greatest illuminating
power ever imported to this country
| and the management are to be felici-
tated upon their good judgment in hav-
ing it placed at the very apex of the
great arch, thereby avoiding the error
of having it at a lower elevation, where
it has an annoying tendency to blind
the passers by AS it is, the night has
been turned into day, for it penetrates
the gloom like a glorious rising sun
Altogether the "tout ensemble" is a
thing of beauty and of JOY forever.

entertainment was presented at the Of
| fcers' club at Schofeld barracks, Lei
| lehua. on Saturday evening under the
auspices of Lieut.. and Mrs. James H.
Barnard, who presented Mr.. and Mrs.
| Edwin S. Gee at the Officers club.
The clubhouse dining room was tenn
porarly transformed into miniature
theater, with stage, drop curtain and
| footlights, and the entire staff of of
fcers and all of the ladies at the post
availed themselves of the opportunity
of witnessing a most artistic and finish
ed performance. The Fifth Cavalry
| band was on hand to furnish the Incl,
dental music and their rendering of the
difficult Second Hungarian Rhapsody by
List was most meritorious and was
heartily applauded. Chief Musician
Cain is to be congratulated upon the
| conscientious and able performance of
this sterling organization.
That Mrs Gee is an artist is most
evident Her rendition of Donaldson IS
Hagar was a triumph of dramatic abil-
ity, while Riley's quaint "Life Les

an entirely different vein, was equally
enjoyable The reader gave evidence

which abounded in light and airy
humor, and was fitting burlesque on
| the difficulties besetting the girl at the
telephone. An excellent stage presence,
several stunning gowns and a charming
personality all contributed to the sue
cess of her readings.
| Mr.. Gee is pianist of marked abil-
ity, his original arrangement of classi.
cal numbers being played with marked
expression, while his rendition of
| Chaminade' Scene de Ballet and God
ard IS s'Pan's Flute showed careful
training and technique.
The program concluded with a ff-
teen minute sketch entitled GA Pair of
Lunatics, y which was full of local hits
and humorous situations and kept the
audience in roar of laughter from

Fielding and Miss Manners who meet
in the parlor of sanitarium for the

Ham Men Strike Altoona.

Algona Courier: The ham CRATER
struck Algona last week and did a

though the hams bore the mark of the
government inspector which was q
clear give-away. but people who are
keen for bargains do not notice little
things like that. They sold the hams
for eighteen or nineteen cents q pound
and instead of being hams we are
told they we're shoulders that are sold
by the packing houses at nine or ten
cents a pound. Those fellows buy
them in large quantities and then ped
die them as home-cured hams. They
make nice profit in the business and
at the same time contribute an edu-
cational lesson to the dear people.

The murder was but one of the

THE LITTLE LANDERS

Des Moines Tribune: The Little
Land league. national organization.
the object of which is to reduce the
number of nomadic laborers in the
United States, is beginning to secure
the support of thinking citizens in all
parts of the country.
At present s certain percentage Of
the laboring population of the United
States. having no interests to hold
them at any particular place, rove ir-
responsibility about the country, saving
nothing and making no homes. and
living only from day to day on the
wages they happen to be earning.
1t is the object Of the Little Land
league to encourage laborers to ac-
quire small pieces of property in the
places they are employed. and make
themselves permanent homes. BY be-
coming small land owners laborers will
gain an inducement to settle down in
one place and begin the right sort of
economy. There is no man so poor
but that he cannot in time secure a
little land which he can put under cul-
tivation and upon which he can live
in ordinary comfort. The Little Land
League is attempting to teach the
masses how much wiser it is to settle
permanently some place and live in q
provident manner than to tramp con-
tinually about the country. working
for one man today and another tomor.

NEED OF A CIVIC LEAGUE

Register and Leader: The difficulty
with city government, as with the
conduct of all the large affairs of the
people, is want of group conscious
ness.
It is hard for the people to think
for the city. They can think for
themselves and for the smaller groups
and their personal interests. but to
think for the city as a whole and to
give that the primary consideration
is almost impossible.
Every citizen who has property that
escapes adequate assessment feels
satisfied with the city government.
Every man who is able to get city
improvements where they will benefit
his property is satisfied. We are all
of US residents of some section of the
city. and represent some interest.
The number of people in any city
who take into consideration the city
as whole. the people as whole.
educational advantages for the whole
community. who consider that in 8
large way it is to their advantage tt
pay their taxes whether they are
assessed or not
And yet the future of the city il
with the men who have this larger
group consciousness. For no city ad
ministration can be expected to stant
alone for the city as whole. In tn,
end there will be little groups abou
individual members of the city gov
eminent. having their own interest g
serve. and in the end every matte
will be determined with reference t
the wants and interests of these small
er groups rather than with referenc
to the larger group, which is the cit
itself. In other words. government
wilt not in the end be better than tn
purposes of the men who do tn
voting.

CONFERENCE OF EMPERORS

Omaha Bee: Considerable impor-
lance is attached to conference be-
tween the emperors of Germany and
Russia, soon to take place on ship
board in the Baltic sea. to be followed
later by meeting between the Ger
man emperor and the president of
France. Mutual distrust growing out
of the Turkish upheaval and the in
cidents which preceded it had started
rumors of ruptures and even of proba-
Bile wars, but these conferences indi-
cate that diplomacy has evidently set
tle1 the differences if any existed.
The work of the diplomat is con-
cealed from the public, however. and
in spite of assurances that all had
been arranged satisfactorily the peo-
pie are slow to give them credence.
That the emperors or the head of the
German and French governments will
themselves actually negotiate arrange
ments of an international character is
unlikely. These agreements are the
work of the foreign offices. Their
meeting in an amicable way. however,
is likely to have quieting effect up
on the public mind and it is doubt less
for this purpose that they are set in
spectacular surroundings.
International rivalries and jealous
les in Europe are so many and so in
tense that it often requires the great
est tact to present clash. Fears
of other nations are worked upon to
secure appropriations for naval and
military expenditures and the time
intervening between parliamentary
sessions is utilized to ailay the alarm.
1t is great game of shuttlecock
and battledore, whose continuance
without mishap depends upon the
skill of the manipulators.
