''THE CHOCOLATE SOLDIER"

Brimming with melody and efferve- scent with the s'atiric humor of George Bernard Shaw, "The Chocolate Sol dier" will be presented at the Elks Theater, this city, on Monday night
 February 20, by the Whitney Opera Company. including an orchestra of fifty players. Entirely an unknown quality, the work marched into New York and won success for itself unequalled in the last two decades. Not only is the melodious score by Oscar Straus real music, overflowing with dreamy love plaints, and swing ing, crashing marches, but it's book contains delightful comedy, it's plot is consistent and plausible, and it's characters human beings doing hu- man things in an explainable way. The company includes Grace Drew and Alice Yorke, prima donnas; Frit- zi von Busing, player of the Frivoluos Mascha; from Berlin; Forrest Huff, as the love making Chocolate Sol

"SEVEN DAYSy

This is the stamp of approval put on Seven Days" by Ainslees Maga- zine: "A veritable scream from the rising of the first curtain to the fall ing of the final curtain The writ CT of the foregoing might have added that the laughter doesn't end with the play but recurs whenever one thinks of the wit and fun in it. This comedy is all the more attractive from the fact that it's persons are of the twentieth century smart set It's fun is drawing room fun. To be sure it gets into the kitchen and climbs to the roof, but it carries the draw ing room folk along with it. Under lying the laugh-creating Qualities of Seven Days" is decidedly interest ing story of love and lovers, such as all the world has liked since the be- ginning of time. Seven Days will be acted at the Elks Theater soon by a distinguished New York cast Mes SITS Wagenhals and Kempner are sending the play here right from the AstOr Theater in New York, where it is in it's second year, and with a Broadway cast and production. It will be the best thing of the season

 North Dakota's leading citizens tes- tify that Prohibition has lessened crime, reduced tax rates, increased bank deposits, secured better local government, raised the tone of mor- als, and increased the value of prop 0rty.
 Thirty-seven counties of Kansas, which have prohibition laws, have not a single occupant in the jails, while our own city with the licensed sa- loon. have frequent killings in the sa- looms and help fill the jail; 37 coun- ties in Kansas have not single crim- inal case on the court docket; p counties are without a pauper; many of the youths of these prohibition counties, have never seen or tasted liquor.
 In the entire state of Maine there were fifty years ago, five savings in7 stitutions, and the whole savings in five institutions amounted to less than $9O,000. While today, after fifty years of prohibition, they have fifty-seven savings banks in their state, twenty two buildings and loan associations, thirty-seven trust companies with az gregate deposits of more than $113,- 900 1000, the saving of the people un- der prohibition, and there is nothing else 1t can be attributed to- Maine has $10976 per capita deposited in it's

1.-THE REDEMPTION OF
 EVELYN VAJDRiy''

Henri Bernstein never writes the unworth while. A long list of suc- cesses, of which "The Thief is a notable example, proves this. When he wrote "Le Bercail," he added largely to his reputation as a power ful dramatist. Now, .Le Bercair has been given to Louis N. Parker who enjoys position of dramatic i'm portance second to no other author of the present time MT. Parker has made an English adaptation of the Bern stein play, and given it the title of
 The Redemption of Evelyn Vaud- ray. It is considered exactly the important sort of contribution which the famous author of "Pomander
 Walk" 'fDisraoli' and ''Chantecler might be expected to produce.
 In this notable production, Olga Nethersole, now under the manage ment of Liebler and Company, is mak- ing a limited tour of the United States. As Evelyn Vaudray, Miss Nethersole is fitted with part call ing for all her resourcefulness and talent. There is more of sympathy connected with the role than has ever fallen to Miss Nethersole's lot in her characterizations of women who err Evelyn makes a mistake, but it is not because of any rooted inclination to- wards wrong-it is because she is not understood by another This is not an uncommon illusion Events leading up to the separation of the Vaudray's and the life of Evelyn after she goes to the man to whom she has given her love make up the three acts of the play, which will be given at the Elks Theater next week.

AMERICUS is BUSY TOO
In SHIPPING PEACHES
Fifty Crates By Express to
Atlanta

Americas, too, is in the game on
peach shipments and many crates of
the early varieties are now going for
ward by express daily to Atlanta,
where the fruit brings excellent
prices. About fifty crates have thus
been handled here during the past
two days from the Raymond Orchard
Co., and other large shipments will
follow from this and other orchards in
the Americus territory Peaches are
easy sellers in Atlanta now at ESQ
per crate, and aus the express charges
from Americas are about 80 cents, or
thereabout, per crate, growers are
paid handsomely for their fruit.
Peaches from the Bagley-Ray Orchard
Co. are being brought to the canning
factory here and put up as pie
peaches. Later when the finer varie-
ties ripen, higher grades of canned
peaches for the table will be put up
here. Considerable fruit of the Green's
boro variety is in the Americas mar
ket, but is not very appealing to the
peach-hungry populace.

COTTON MARKETS

New Orlaens, La, May 25.-Cotton
futures opened steady, 7 to points
down on the old crop months and ,
to down on the new. The lower OPEN
ing was due to poor cables. Bulls
were good bidders on the call and
first prices were the lowest in the
early trading. The weather map was
called unfavorable as it did not show
a speck of rain anywhere in the cotton
country The forecast Of continued
dry weather added to the uneasiness
over drougthy conditions in some por-
lions of the belt. In the afternoon
the market was quiet but steady. At
2 o'clock prices had made a partial
recovery, the old crops standing 6 to 3
points under yesterdays close, while
the new crops were unchanged to l
point up.
New Orleans, May 25.-The mar
ket closed steady at a net decline OF
2 to points.

White WOMAN WORKED
ON CITY'S STREETS
MOultrie Witnessed Unusual
Sight

Moultrie, Ga, May 25.-An unusual
degrading sight was witnessed upon
the streets of this city when a white
woman of the town was sentenced 10
work upon the streets in default Oh
paying a fine after her conviction in
the recorders court.
She was convicted of an infractiOn
of the municipal ordinances and SEN
fenced to pay a fine of $40 or work
twenty days upon the streets. Being
unable to raise the required amount
she was forced to accept the alterna-
tive, and was placed at work shov-
cling dirt on the streets, along with
a negro convict
A large crowd of negroes quickly
gathered and the sight seemed to
please them greatly. Some of the
best citizens were enraged when the
fact was discovered and a young law
yer, rather than see a white female
so degraded, paid her fine and she
was released 1t was none too soon,
however, for a crowd was quietly
getting together for the purpose of
forcibly liberating her.

PROMPT PAYMENT MADE

WarIiCk Insurance Claim is
Quickly Adjusted

The public will recall the death OF
that good citizen, Mr.. Sam E. War
lick, which occurred in Mineral Wells
Texas, month ago.
An evidence of his prudence and
forethought in providing life insurance
is shown by a letter Mrs. Warlick gave
Mr.. Milton Reed, agent for the Michi-
gan Mutual Life Insurance Co., of De-
troit, thanking him for his assistance
in making out proofs of death and his
company for prompt payment
The company forwarded a check 70!

will argue in the United States District
court, before Judge Emory Speer, the
motion for demurrer recently filed. In
event the demurrer is sustained, the
Dixon suit comes to an end, presuma-

be tried upon it's merits at the fall
term of the United States court Sew
eral Americas attorneys, employed by
the city council to represent the de-
PENDANTS, will appear in the case this
morning, and they are confident that
the demurrer will be sustained and
the proceedings dropped. A great deal
of local interest is felt, and the re-
suit of the proceedings today it await
ed with much speculation. The plain
tiffs, Thomas Dixon and the South
ern Amusement Co., are sueng for
large amounts because the Dixon play
was shut out of Americas and also
because of the verbiage of the resolu-
tions adopted by the Americus coun-
Gil.

g to IL points on the old crop, and
unchanged to points lower on the
