MISS CLARKE'S PLAYERS
 PERFORM THIS WEEK
Evening Performance and Satux- day Matinee.

Seats for the Friday night and Sat- urday matinee presentations of play lets by Miss Grace Clarke and her student players are now on sale at Jacksons book shop.
 The play to be presented by Miss Grace Clarke and her excellent com. pany of student players are planne' primarily to dispel the blues now ever deep the color.
 The little actors in Wishing ac- quit themselves like veterans and the older students have a play unequsled in opportunities for comedy acting.
 The following speech of Jack Weedes, the manager, gives an idea of the fun in store:
 "As Christmas time was coming on some friends asked me to write pantomime for amateurs, just to amuss the children. Well I have written and a rattling good pantomime if is. But look at the company I've got to deal with. There's Lady Murie1 Beau c.ere, she never knows when to come on or where to go off. Then there's Miss Violet. She's charming by stupid. Miss Lily is always laughing and Miss Rose and Miss May are al- ways flirting. Then there's Lord Arr thur Pomeroy, why they ever brought him into the affair I can't magine. He thinks the art of acting lies in make up and if he gets a card board nose and a blue wig, he thinks that's all that's necessary. And as for Capt. Tom Robinson, he treats the whole thing with sublime indifference and says it will be all right on the night. The fact is none of them are impress ed with the true solemnity of panto- mime and if ever I write another you may cal me"
 "A Pantomime Rehearsar' contains many pretty dances as well as ridi- culous situations. Miss Ruth Topping will dance shadow dance of extrems beauty.

What July A, 1776, is to the United

Texas. On that day Texas, which was
part Of Mexico. but which. peopled
chiefly by Americans, was as alien to
that country in ideas and aspirations
as 1t was In language, declared it's In
dependence. And the announcement
was quickly put into concrete shape.
When Texas became a state 1t had
only about 10000 population, and in
the census Of 1850. the first in which
II figured. It ranked as the twenty.
fifth In number of Inhabitants. In
1910 1t had 3.S98.O00 people and
ranked as the fifth state and grew 81
per cent in the decade.
1t promises to be the fourth state In
1920, displacing Ohio. which holds that
rank now and which has held 1t for
many years. BY 1880 II will. from
the recent relative rates of gain. run
very close to Illinois. which Is the
third state. and may become the sec
ond state by 1910. Pennsylvania hold
