FUNNY SHOW PLAYED
 BY 4 FINE COMPANY
Mfrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch Makes Big Hit at the EIks'
 Theater.

I one great show was Mrs. Wiggs
 of the Cabbage Patch.r It's just
 about the funniest Phoenix theater- goer have ever had chance to see and if any funnier was ever staged
 it must be d marvel of humor. This
 sublime comedy. which is at the same time a drama of. intense heart in-
 terest. was presented last night at the
 Elks' theater by company that
 would be hard to improve.
 Every part in Mrs. Wiggs" is a character part. and with two eXcep-
 tions every member of this company
 is splendid character actor or actress. Though nearly everyone of the twenty six people who go to make up the troupe furnishes laugh after
 laugh. the three characters that stand out with the greatest distinction are Mrs. Wiggs herself, MT. Stubbins and Miss Hazey. Miss Blanche Chapman plays Mrs. Wiggs, a woman with "a heart as big as all outdoors" Mrs. Wiggs is d motherly soul who acts as a sort of spiritual adviser and matchmaker for that homely place known as the cabbage patch" Too much cannot be said of Miss Chap Even with supporting company of Even with supporting company of much less merit she would make the play a success.
 For dry humor. MT. Stubbins is the limit. This part if played by Thomas Akin. who is just as good in his role as Miss Chapman is in hers Of course credit must be given the au- thor of the play for the humor of the line, but there are few living actors who could speak them so well as MT. Akin.
 Jennie Milne plays Miss Hazey, the bride of Mir Stubbins. and she certainly made d hit, both by her ap- pearance and by her acting. Miss Hazey is not supposed to be consci- ously humorous, but, taking all into consideration, the part is probably the funniest of the whole comedy. The way she uses her voice, keeping itl always at high pitch but trailing off in sort of sob at the end, is won derfully clever and effective.
 Miss Hay McManus, as Lovey Mary. is a beautiful young woman and a fine actress. others who are particu larly good in their character roles are Ruth Handford as Mrs. Eichorn, Pe tra Folkman as Mrs. Schultz, and Fred Holloway as Chris Hazey. But Miss Janet Knox. who plays Miss Lucy and Harold Grau as Billy Wiggs are too stiff and strained. Mir. Grau does not seem a bit like the other Wiggses He doesn't get into the spirit of the cabbage patch but might be all right in the part of a Broadway tough Miss Knox is al beautiful girl but not an actress.
 Only a fairly large audience saw Mrs. Wiggs. her familys and her friends. The Elks' has been crowded | for shows of far less merit.

SEWING BASKET

A sewing basket makes an accept able Christmas gift. It should not be a dainty. beribbOned trifle, but a real roOmy basket, well fitted with sewing necessities.

TURKEY GUDES THROUGH
 PLATE GLASS WINDOW
ESCAPES FROM GAss BROTHERS AND MAKES THINGS LIVELY
Gives Officer LudIam Battle When
 Arrest Is Attempted.

From a point of vantage at the coping of the two story building oc- cupied by the American Kitchen, d handsome Christmas turkey which for a day or two had been undergoing the special fattenipg process invented by Gass Brothers and which had es- capped in some mysterious manner. spread his wings and attempted to navigate across Central avenue about noon yesterday The big bird made the glide in approved manner, but evidently miscalculated the distance, for he came in forcible contact with a fifty dollar plate glass window in the front of the Long Hardware com pany establishment and crashed through like a bull in china shop.
 The escape of the turkey had not been noticed and how he managed to gain the roof of the building on the east side of Central avenue is not known. Pedestrians were startled at the vision of a huge object hurtling through the air with outspread wings, resembling nothing if not Mars or some other noted aviator making a spectacular glide from the sky. Then came the crash. The guns of Madero assailing a Mexican town fade into insignificance.
 The Long Hardware company had expended considerable time and thought in the arrangement oI the window display. Hastily arranged were every conceivable form of cary ing sets and other cutlery which would appropriately decorate the table on Christmas Day. The concern con- tends that the turkey possessed a sublime appreciation of the eternal fitness of things and that there vas method in his finish if not in hs start.

way.
When there was caucus of Repub-
Ilicans called in Fort Lee some time
lago, nearly everybody went down,
land it happened that Fort Lee didn't
lturn out a large crowd SO Palisade
had things its own way and ran the
caucus as it pleased. Fort Lee didn't
shave a show, but it resented the eau
Gus action Mr.. Goebel announced
himself at this caucus as candidate
tor reelection as councilman from
Fort Lee, but Palisade wouldn't have
ut that way, SO Mr.. Goebel was de-
feated for the nomination. But he at
once asserted himself and said: "This
lis unfair. | was chosen in the usual
/ way to represent Fort Lee, and | will
I be at the primaries"
Sure enough, he was, and got the
nomination over the caucus candidate
BThen the Palisade voters got sore.
Some of them said, well throw our
astrength to the Democrat and defeat
8Goebel again" Goebel wasn't in it.

conditions had been digested, how
ever, it developed that Mr. GoebePs

to be noised around that he wasn't so
bad after ALL. He was a man of
mighty high principle. Eth? What's
that? A meeting? Well, of course.
that's different
1t was held at the Tams residence
November 4. About twenty-five or
thirty Palisadians were present. The
meeting felt of itself and argued the
situation as to what was best to do.
L. T. Druck was chosen chairman
Among other things done was a reso-
luton passed endorsing Mr. Goebel
as the candidate for councilman, to-
publlcans. 1t wasn't a case of eating
crow that led the sentiment to re-
verse itself in favor Of Mr.. Goebe1.
Not at all. Mr.. Goebel had taken
very manly attitude on the school
question, and at the school election
told all his friends to vote for the
Palisade school His position on the
school question raised his stock away
above par and his value was at a
premium. This, no doubt, caused the
resolution at the November 4th meet
ing, and it was a very proper thing
to do, as well as just one. 1t proved
however, that snap Judgment about
man before you know him is liable to
be reversed. And this is also proper.
There may have been mistakes of
judgment here before, but the Goebel
resolution was not one of that kind.
He had asserted himself at the polls,
proved his popularity, and then to
show how high minded he was went
to the Board of Education meeting
and not only voted for Palisades
$4,000 school, but worked like a
Trojan for its success. That's being

WILL TURN ON GAS
NEXT THURSDAY
First Test of New Pipe Line From
WeIch to Vinita Will Be Made
Tuesday Morning.

That Vinita's gas problem will soon
be solved is made plain by the state
ment today of Manager 3otensield of
the Vinita Gas company, that by
Thursday of this week the gas from
the big sixteen inch main from Wann
to Joplin and Miami will be turned in
to the city mains here, and Vinita will
no longer have a shortage of gas.
The gas will be turned into the line
from Welch to this city at 8 O'Clock
tomorrow morning for the test. The
line will be gone over carefully TO as
certain if there are any leaks. We'd
nesday the pipe will be opened and all
dirt blown out. Then on Thursday
morning the connections with the city
plant which is ready to receive the
gas, will be made.
The company has been rushing
work on the line for the last few
weeks in order to get it completed be-
fore the real cold weather begins.

knows that the farm products are not
affected by a tariff, for now we are
an export nation on our agricultural
products, sending out each year at
least "a per cent of our farm yields,
and so long as we do that, a tariff on
any farm product is a bait to the
farmer. The price is made by the
worlds markets.
The law of supply ana demand plays
an important part in the price of farm
products. An example of this is shown
in the price of hogs and sheep. The
former is abnormally high, because of
an unusual scarcity; the latter is alb
normally low because of an unusual
supply
Yet both hogs and sheep are sub
ject to about the same, if not the
same, tariff protection And with the
exception of hogs and one or two
other items, farm products are lower
than they were year ago. just after
the enactment OF the tariff bill. On
the other hand, nearly everything the
farmer has to buy has been increased
in cost The new tariff law, of which
Candidate Creager, assumes the full
responsibility of, as having voted for
it, is responsible for this increase Of
cost.
The farmer gets less for his wool
but he must pay more for his blankets.
And so it goes. Mr.. Creager is at
tempting to play the farmer for a
sucker. He would have him believe
that the tariff is responsible for the
high price of hogs, and is utterly un-
able to understand how we can reduce
the cost of living, without injaring the
man who tills the soil

Another Minister Talks.

Oklahoma's prohibition laws are a
farce and their enforcement is becom-
ing a statewide laughing stock. Even
ministers of the gospel, who were so
anxious for prohibition three years
ago, are beginning to realize that it
would be better to have the law re-
pealed, and a system of high license
substituted therefor.
Homer T. Wilson, the eminent
preacher and chautauqua lecturer,
while in Oklahoma City recently, gave
out the following interview on the
subject of Oklahoma's prohibition, ex-
pressing therein views shared by many
other men of the cloth
Local option in Texas means that
two-thirds of the state is dry, while
statewide prohibition in Oklahoma
means that there is more or less vio-
lation going on all the time. The ulti-
mate outcome will surely end in the
adoption of local option. Whatever a
locality desires should be the law.

MUD HOLES CAUSE LOSS
OF TRADE TO V|N|TA

Much complaint is being made about
the condition of the roads leading into
this city 1t is said the roads in gen.
eral are exceedingly fine, but there
are places where they are almost inn
passable. This fact is causing many
farmers to market their stuff at White
Oak, Big Cabin, Alton, Bluejacket and
other points, when on account of the
competitive market here, they would
rather bring their produce to Vinita.
Thus Vinita is losing much of the bus
mess that the city would otherwise en-
+ joy.
The matter of fixing these bad
places will be presented to the Com
mercial Club and an effort made to
interest the new county commission
ers, who will take Office in January, in
fixing these places.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
IS AGAIN ACTIVE
Determination Expressed to Let No
Proposition That Will Benefit
Vinita Get Away. From Us.

In response to the call sent out yes
terday there was a large attendance
at the meeting of the Commercial
Club, last night, of the men who are
making Vinita the best town in north
eastern Oklahoma, men who are ever
alert to the Industrial interests of Vim
ita, and they came determined that
no fair proposition, made for the well
fare of Vinita, should be rejected.
President Dennis II. Wilson was pres
ent and presided over the meeting.
While number of matters of minor
Importance were discussed, it was evi-
dent that two projects were upper
most in the minds of those determined
men present-the securing of the pro-
posed oil refinery here and the build.
ing of the Porter railroad
The manufacturing committee has
had the oil refinery matter in charge
and had a pleasing report to make.
The proposition of the oil company
has been accepted and steps taken to-
ward carrying out the clubs portion
of the contract. While it is practical
ly certain that Vinita will get this big
industry the exact plans of the COM
pany will not be announced for a few
days. However several of the busi-
ness men of the city have already
signed the guarantee to give the site,
and as more signatures as possible
will be secured.
AS to the railroad proposition there
wasn't much that could be done, ex-
cept to unanimously adopt a resolu-
ton that if the road wants to build
into Vinita the club will give it ev-
cry encouragement. The bonus asked
by the railroad company is the right
of-way across Craig county. A reso-
luton was introduced by Judge Par
ker, chairman of the railroad commit
tee, providing for the club to submit
number Of questions to the company
and get the matter ready to take defin-
ite action at the meeting next Thurs
day night, when a representative of
the road will be here to close up the
deal.

THREE MEN ARE UNDER
ARREST IN MEXICO
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
The City of Mexico, Oct. 31.-The
names of the three men who were ar
rested at Acapulco yesterday, suspect
ed of being implicated in blowing up
the Los Angeles Times building with
dynamite, and who were aboard the
power schooner, Kate, are Harry Ham,

to kilograms received here today. The
names given are the same as those
registered on the boats papers. The
captain of the vessel, Swan Engdethe,
and the engineer, Adolph Adolphson,
also said to be the owner, still are on
board the vessel under guard of GUS
toms house officials.
When the schooner entered port for
supply of gasoline it was boarded by
the American consul and a port Off

boat. The captain said he had been
engaged at a contract price of $3.50
by Adolphson to take the schooner
from San Francisco to Galapagos Is

PLANNING TO ENLARGE
HARVEY EATING HOUSE

There is considerable talk in rail
road circles of enlarging the Harvey
eating house in this city. Although
the eating house has only been in op-
Grafton little over a week it is ap-
parent that the capacity is too small
to accommodate the crowds that take
their meals here.
The stopping of the trains here for
meals is resulting in as much good to
the town as those who promoted the
plan of locating it here had anticipat-
ed. Many travellers have had their
attention attracted to this town by
reason of the trains stopping for meals
which afforded them an opportunity
to walk up town and ask questions
about Vinita.
