Golden Rule

Whatever have tried to do at all. I
have tried with all my heart to do
we'll. What have devoted myself to,

Never to put one hand on anything
on which I could not throw my whole
self, and never to affect depreciation
Of my work, whatever it was, find
now to have been one of my golden
eules-Charles Dickens.

Will Hereafter Receive the Highest Class Productions Direct From
 the East.


 about it in the newspapers there nas been an important change in the yau- deyille situation throughout the south 5ld southwest, with the result that Hot Springs leading theater is greatly benefited by the new deal.
 The presence of few of the acts that had played the Princess coming back after only short time had elapsed from their previous engage ment caused some comment, but as all of the acts were worth seeing the second time no adverse criticism was heard. It is generally admitted, how ever, that new acts would have been better, but when conditions were as complicated as they were a few weeks ago, there was nothing else to dc bu accept the acts for return date Al that now, however, is matter of his tory. The difficulty of booking has all been strengthened out and a split week" has been arranged where by the Princess will be able to get the bigger features of the circuit and pass them along to the next theater.
 The new regime will take charge next week, and the notification that the Princess has received of it's show proves that the attraction that will come the first three days will be sure to attract capacity business, for the bill is not only one of the most expensive this house has ever fea- tured, but it Is also one of the very best.
 The headline act viii be tine Brad ley Martin Company, presenting a comedy playlet, entitled "A Unique Proposal.
 Just little bit of perfume sprink- led on fellows coat gets him into peck of trouble. at least 1t does in "A Unique Proposal. ,"
 For the first time this season there will also be on the bill Parisiasn operatic star. who Is making her first American vaudeville tour, coming di- rect from the New York houses, af- ter many seasons success at the Op- era Comique, Paris. She is lGene nvrie hillod oe ssrri,o I,,4oxcotso~ol Nightingale. This talented little French artiste is a comedienne of rare ability and possesses voice of rare melody and range. She will wear during her engagement a series Of the latest Paris conceits. snd her dresses have attracted attention wher- ever she has appeared.
 LaCrandall, the queen of the slack wire, one of the greatest slack wire walkers before the public today, is also booked for the Princess next week, as are s'Tlhe Town Hall Mins- trels," Mike Coakley, Lou Harvey aud Joe Dunlevy, three of the best all round entertainers in vaudeville Their act is scream from beginning to end and one of the real laugh pro- ducers of the present seasoN
 Another big act on next weeks bill will be the Five Morton Jewell troupe. presenting a novelty in the way of club juggling Their paraphernalia is arranged with special electrical ef- fects and it is one of the biggest features of it's kind in vaudeville to- day
 One can readily see from the fore going that the show for the first three days of the second week of the New Year will be winner from be- birnIng to end. and the management predicts in honor of the same the big gest business in the history of the Princess.

Now to Serve Seven Years.

From now on every man who en-
lists in the United States army will
be compelled to obligate himself to
Uncle Sans service for four years
active and three years reserve duty.
The new seven year enlistment law
became effective recently and army
officers are awaiting with great inter-
est to see whether it will reduce or
increase the enlistment. A decided
reduction is expected, as there are
few men, it is thought, who will care
to enlist for four years then leave the
army to take up civilian duties and
for three years run the chance of
being summoned to the colors, in case
of declaration of war or immin-
ence of war;"
The United States will be the only
nation in the world that will sue
coed in building up big reserve
force without resorting to conscrip-
ton, if the new law is as much of a
success as the authors claim it will
be. The object of the reform is to
build big body of trained men who
will know the rudiments of fighting,
having actual experience. and will be
available in case of clash with for
eign powers.

DEER CAUSE DAMAGE.
Large Herd in Western Iowa Cause
Farmers q Good Deal of
Trouble.

Des Moines, Dec. 23.-New legis-
lation is needed to protect the people
of the western part of the state from
the deer that are at large in that
district, according to George A. Lin
coin, state game warden. In making
his November report, Mr.. Lincoln in
formed the state executive council Of
this need. This is the season of the
year that deer become dangerous,
Mr.. Lincoln said. He reported:
AT this time of the year the bucks
are very dangerous and we are con-
stantly on the lookout to prevent
damages to citizens where these deer
roam. We find they are scattered
thru the state. There will have to
be some new legislation so that the
law can be enforced and the danger
to the people eliminated"
There are between 500 and 900
wild deer in Pottawattomie and Shell
by counties. Mr. Lincoln reports that
many of the deer have been unlaw-
fully killed this fall. The ravagers
ride in motor cars and manage TO es-
cape after killing the deer. Mr.. Lin
coin said that apparently in most
cases deer are killed just for sport.
The carcasses were not moved from
the spot where the deer fell. In Car
roll county deer was killed by some
person who wanted deer meat for the
table. He was arrested and paid the
penalty for shooting the deer which is
against the law. The fall has been
a good one for game, Mr., Lincoln re-
ported. Prairie chicken aand quail
were scarce. They did not fly this
way this year.
On November Goth the state game
warden quit work on stocking
lakes and streams with fish. He re-
ported that great Roadway was made
with the work during the summer
and fall months.

HoRTICULTURIsTs COOPERATE.
Orchard Supplies Will be Purchased
in Large Lots Hereafter.

Ames, Dec. 23.-An important
step towards cooperation among the
Iowa fruit growers was taken at the
meeting of the Iowa Horticultural So
ciety in Des Moines in the organiza-
ton of the Iowa Fruit Growers as
ISOLATION. Its object for the present
is merely the cooperative buying of
orchard supplies, for which large
sums are expended in the state each
year. Ely buying spraying materials,
fruit crates and boxes and barrels,
fertilizers, spraying machinery and
the lie together the fruit men be-
lieve they will save in agents and
middiemen's profits, freight rates and
in other items.
Cooperation in selling was discus
sed when the new association was or
ganiZed, but this was left for future
development and will be undertaken
only when the demand for ii comes.
1t was agreed however, that the as
sociation should keep its members in
formed as to market and crop condi-
tons and seek to interest high class
buyers in the purchase of Iowa fruits.
The project was proposed incident
ally Gl the HOIlICulJuTdl meeting by
Laurenz Greene, horticultural expert,
of the Iowa Agricultural Experiment
station. He suggested to few men
in the same district of the state that
they cooperate in buying. They took
to the idea, interested other men,
called a meeting and Unexpectedly
launched full fiedged organization

ers as charter members: j. NJ. Bech-

FEVER KILLS PORKERS.
Loss Near Burlington Reaches About
Twelve Thousand Dollars.

Burlington, Iowa, Dec. 23.-What
has appeared to be hog cholera has
been taking off hundreds of animals
in this part of Iowa recently. One
farmer living northwest of Burling-
ton, lost two hundred, and one hun
dred and sixty animals succumbed to
the disease on the farm of j. F.
Deems, near Burlington. The loss of
hogs in Des Moines county and vicin-
ity is stated to have reached a total
of $4,000. 1t has developed, how
ever, that the disease is not hog chol-
era, but is pronounced typhoid fever.
Some of the hogs fingered several
weeks with this disease, while those
afflicted with cholera die in few
days. 1t happened that while the dis
ease was at its height at the Deems
farm an expert from Shenandoah, Ia,
happened along on tour of inspec-
ton and was shown the condition of
the hogs.
He made a thorough examination
and positively stated that the disease
was not hog cholera. Manager Hippo,
of the farm, had diagnosed the dis
ease as typhoid fever, and the Shen-
andoah expert corroborated that
view. Mr.. Hippo stated that he took
heroic measures with his herd, killing
off all the sick animals and thorough
ly disinfecting the premises, since
which time there has been no more
trouble.

The cost of living ought to be
somewhat reduced this coming win
ter by the big harvest. Food at least
should be cheaper. Wheat and -four
have declined at first hands; so, too,
have coffee and sugar. Fruits are
plentiful and big potato crop Is as
sured. AS fodder is abundant and
cheap, meat should later on decline
from the present high level. Low pri-
ces among producers take time to
reach the consumer, and the distribu-
tor is always slow in giving the con-
sumer the advantage of lower prices,
which not infrequently are entirely
absorbed by the middle man. While
food producers have been falling, 9TH
er commodities are generally advanc-
ing, particularly minerals; conse-
quently no great majority of workers
stiff, motionless. He can not laugh;
and any reduction whatever will be
welcome. But clothing and rent show
no disposition to decline in the great
cities.-New York Journal OF Com

Oelwein he ambled into wet gro
Gerry. Reckoning for sheet of paper
he wrote: "Give me beer" 1t was

Then turning to the dispenser he
handed him out four-bit piece and
remarked: Here's your COIN" The

pearance several weeks ago of one of
the laborers.
The mans body is embedded in the
solid concrete, and is likely to stay
there, as to blast it out would not
only destroy the body but a great part
of one of the largest blocks of cement

Chickens are not live stock" This
was recent opinion by the Inter
state Commerce Commission on one
of the strangest cases ever appealed
before it. A Mr.. Ream read upon the
Law and found out that railroads
were required to permit free trans
portation of caretakers of live stock
in transportation. He shipped twelve
chickens and started on his journey
as "caretaker to that live stock" from
Richmond to Los Angeles. Ream got
as far as FL Paso before he was held
up and required to pay full passage.
de demanded that the commission up
hold him and force the railroads to
refund his fare, but the commission
declined to support him.

have earned quite reputation for
forecasting the weather and coming
out nearly correct in their prognos-

that there will be no weather of the
usual winter variety until New Years
and very little snow during the en-

tions upon the fact that the fleas are
sticking to the rabbits. 1t is to be
hoped that the fleas will continue to

Lent Earliest Since 1918.

The Social Season. will be one of
the shortest on record this year, due
to the fact that lent begins on Feb
ruary IL, the earliest since 1918. The
ideal or ecclesiastical moon, adopted
by the churches hundreds of years
ago. determines the date for Easter,
which next year falls on March 23, a
date upon which easter may fall,
March %.
The custom which was established
by the churches, declares that Easter
shall fall on the first Sunday after
the first full moon after March 81.
