ISLE OF SPICE
HAS GOOD CAST


Concerned with the presentation Of
"The Isle Of Spice which comes to
chickasha Tuesday evening, Nov. 20,
is a goodly east headed BY Bobbie
Woolsey, a recent candidate for stel
lar honors as a musical comedian. Ee
Is not of the fashionable set in that
he is legitimate in method. His honor
is not OF the bread blatant variety,
but rather a seifIespecting, insinuat
ing, suggestive means OF making peo-
pie think while they laugh. Mr.. Wool
sey Is ably seconded by Bernard RIGGS
as Miclzy OGrady, somewhat fussy but
more extrayagant and therefore inter
esting. Stanley Felch is 'Bompopka,
a sixty-seventh king OF Nicobar to the
life and Chas. Vaughn as Lieut.
Katchall Of Of JJ S. Roosevelt is en-
tirely adequate. Teresa the TO
mantle young ward of the king, falls
to Margaret Felch, whose ingenious
sweetness and daiiny impersonations
are delight to eye and ear Helena
MCGOWAN plays the part OF 'Kamorta,9

apiomb- Marshal Packey, VIM. Bur
CESS and others complete the cast.
But the feature OF "The Isle of Spice"
with the sane comedy Of Mr.. Woolsey
and the surprising chorus, Is the mu-
sical score.
At the rise Of the curtain there is
a soft and dainty blending Of color,
music that is ravishingly sweet, and
vision Of young and beautiful feminity
grouped about the stage in picturesque
attitudes. Then the comedians come
on and make you laugh with their fun.

chaos Of color in silks It's the "Isle
of Spice" with its popular songs Of the
whistling kind, its cast Of principals
with worldwide reputation, its large
and efficient chorus, and its beautiful
electric and scenic effects. It's B. G.

DEEDS. NOT WORDS. NEEDED.

ACTIONS are the thing in these days
rather than speech, and they talk
much more vigorously"
Woodrow Wilson, governorelect Of
New Jersey, as sound in craftsmanship
as in common sense, thus frames a
thought that, promptly applied, ought
to relieve from a great deal Of unnecs-
saly labor and much possible embar-
rassment for themselves and the coun-
try the promoters Of a conference Of
democratic leaders to talk over plans
for the future. nr. Wilson was at Chi
cago, and, declining to be interviewed,
said:
n have adopted a policy of not talk
ing for publication, It is not that !
hesitate to commit myself as to a fu-
ture course Of action, for am willing
az any time to do that have plans
enough and work enough cut out for
me to do hard work, but my way Of
doing it is not to talk about it. Ac-
tions are the thing in these days rather
than speech, and they talk much more
vigorously
Mr Wilson could not possibly have
had in mind the proposed ''ialk-It-over.'
But his thought might as well be con-
sidered in that connection to the end
that, instead Of talking about things to
be done, things be done that require no
talking for emphasis. That policy can
be carried out BY politicians Of both
parties long before me newly-elected
congress assemblies. Their deeds would
show that the lessons Of the late cleo
tiois were effective

The country regardless of party lines,

ORGANIZE HIGH SCHOOLS.

According to the notion Of the Ex
press, the thing most needed in high
school athletic circles is an interschol
astic athletic association
Under the auspices Of the state uni
yersity, an annual interscholastic field
and track meet has been held for the
past four or five years, and. under
rules established by athletic authori-
ties at the university, qualifications
governing entrants and points in the
meet are decided. This is an event
well promoted.
But there are points in other ath-
letic contests which should be looked
aftes by regulgri.- formed board Of
directors Or executive committee. Es-
pecially is this true for foot ban and
base ball.
For instance, a, well-defined set of
rules should govern the qualification
~ players IL both base bali and foot
ban teams and, in questions Of dis
putes over state championship honors,
there should be q regularly organized
body to which questions at issue could
be appealed for decision.
BY right Of the survival Of the fit
test, Ghickasha this year holds state
championship honors in foot bali but,
charging that certain players on the
Chickasha team were not properly
qualified. for secondary school athletics
oEts or two other high schools Of The
State declare that Chickasha should
be eliminated from the right.
Chicxasha knows that all of her
players were regular and that her
claim to the championship is just. A
decision from a regularly constituted
board Of athletic control would estab-
lish this fact In this case there
would be no change in the location Of
the honor
But cases might arise where state
championship would more justly 90 to
another school than that which has
defeated al other contenders or, If I'm.
qualified players were eliminated be-
fore games are played throi.gh appeal
10 the board Of control, the result
might be entirely different.
At any rate, well-defned set OF
rules and regulations under which ath-
letic contests in the state should be
held, would materially clarity the situ-
aiion.
The Express suggests, therefore,
that high school authorities throughout.
the state consider the problem and, il
possible, permanent organization be
formed at the time Of the next annual
intersckolastic field meet which will be
held at Norman early in the coming
spring. The expansion into other fields
Of athletics could easily be effeclea
through the same sources from which
sprang the organization for interschol-
astic field meets. and the movement
would serve to centralize all inter
scholastic athletic interests into one
smoothly working, satisfactory organi-
zation

1910 deposited in the recorder office of the par
ish of Ascension.
On motion. duly seconded. the ordinance was
adopted, roll-caH resulting in five yeas and no
nays.
The committee appointed to revise and amend
the fire limits ordinance reported progress and
asked for further time in which to prepare their
report The request was granted.
The public works committee called the atten-
ton of the mayor to the fact that garbage is
permitted to accumulate in the streets in the
rear portion of the municipality to an entirely
unwarranted extent. and that the pernicious
custom of throwing broken bottles and other
refuse in the public roadways of the town is per-
sisted in. notwithstanding the prohibitive ordi-
nances on this subject. The mayor stated that
he would call the attention of the chief of police
to these matters. and would also take steps to
provide for the proper drainageof the twopaved
streets, the crossings of which are always in bad
condition during and for some time after rain
of any proportion.
The mayor was authorized to have printed and
circulated posters calling the attention of prop
erty owners to the municipal ordinance requir-
ing them to cut the grass and weeds in front of
their premises, and to take steps to secure the
rigid enforcement of said ordinance.
There being no further business requiring at
tention, the council adjourned.

Rice Mill Begins Operations.

The Donaldsonville rice mill commenced
its seasons run Wednesday morning, and
the noise of the hoarse whistle of the big
establishment calling the crew to labor
was a fitting accompaniment to the song
of the scythe and the hum of the thresher
which is heard in the land these days.
Numerous carts loaded with rough rice in
sacks may be seen every day on the pub
lie roads of the parish and the streets of
Donaldsonville. vending their way to the
busy rice mill located in the suburbs of
the Ascension metropolis. So far, the
bulk of the rice receipts have cone from
Emile LeBoeuf's Cofeld plantation ard
the Lemann Company'S Peytavin and
Dugas places. Some little rice has been
received from Iberville and large supply
of the cereal will later reach the mill from
that parish, and also from St. James, ST.
Charles and other parishes in this section
of the state. The outlook for a success
full and prosperous season is regarded as
being unusually promising.
