1T is Imperative, he said. that
new legislation be passed covering
the disposition of coal lands In Alas

inadequacy OF the present laws is
universally conceded This PROPOSE

SHOW AT THE ELKS
 FUNNY: LACKS TALENT

There is some fun, but little talent other than a delightfully."- graceful dance offered in ''The Girl, the Man and the Game musical comedy pre- sented at the Elks Theater last night by Billy (Single) Clifford and a large company. The show offers nothing new in the musical comedy line, but it is kept going at a lively pace through out the two acts to make it interesting and several song numbers were well received. The pony chorus was beau tifully costumed and the little girls worked hard while they were on the stage.
 Clifford has more of a reputation than he has merit. He IS not the con- edian the advance press stuff cracks h'm up to be. His singing voice is cracked and his talking voice is too much on the 4nor crder. He can dance though and is very graceful.
