boy and girl would be able to get a
high school education and live at home

The school would be the social as

township-the rallying point where the
citizens could go and hold meetings;
1t would develop the social life, would
be strong and helpful, and the young
people would find in the central school

and the school spirit that would be
developed, a satisfying condition that

Another handicap to progress and a
menace to our whole country. that is
very larely traceable to bad roads,

 This act is trayesty on physical culture and was written by Frank Gardner It deals with persons who visit a health resort. where the cure ,s sure. but where they are involved in complications and surrounded by environment at the place where they are stopping, which detracts from their treatment and they get well in spite of the noise and the racket.

"eIRL OF THE GOLDEN WEST.


 The biggest operatic production that has ever been offered in this section of the country is the coming here on December P of the Henry W. Savage Girl of the Golden West"
 We have seen Madame Butterfly and Pareifal, but neither of the pro duotions can be compared fayorably with this latest and greatest of the Savage achievements. An orchestra of 52 pieces is an important part in the production Three rows of seats have to be taken out to make room for this orchestra The production carries five soprano voices as a guarantee against any faulty produc- tions from colds or incapacitation. The other strong voices are equally substituted. The company travels in it's own special train of eleven cars, and as proof of the enormity of the production, tickets are bought for 120 people over every railroad mile the company travels. There is always one ''big production each theatrical year. Unqualifiediy this savage achievement is the big thing the present season.

"The White Sister" has been universally endorsed by the Catholic church as beautiful dra- matic story full of human interest and conveying 6 lesson of commendable dedevotion and piety---and in fact the church of every denomination has praised it's lofty and uplifting theme. Messrs.
