At opEoN SUNDAY EVENING.
Thomas w. Ross Appears in 1.-THE Only
Som"

son..
"The Only Son." comedy drama py
Winchell Smith, which comes 10 the
Odeon Theater Sunday evening, proved
to be not only a dramatic SENSATION
when it was given in Chicago and Ne"
York, but great triumph for author
and producer alike.
The play is based on theme tnat
is as old as the world a sons deVotlon
to bis mother. Mr. Smith has handled
this seldom discussed, yet close-to-tne-
heart subject in most mastery man
ner, and presents a manifestation OF IL
that for it's very strength and courage,
compels the gripping attention OF eV-
cry student in the field for the oetter-
ment of the world at large.
Thomas w. Ross is The Only Son
and his performance is said to falflS
clectrify his audience. The dizziness in
which he plays the role, the light and
shade of his conception. and the man
illness and force of his stage deport-
ment. shows this young player to be
a master of his art, so convincing is
his work.
MIR. Ross has surrounded himself
with an excellent company. among
whom are Lizzie Hudson Collier.

Q. R. Mcdonald. Of Des Moines,
mittee OF the small town course of the
Associated Advertising Clubs of Amer
lea. addressed a meeting of the local
ad club at the Marshalltown Club
rooms Thursday night. Thirty We're
present. and the applications of five
new members were received.
Mr.. Mcdonald is an ex-president of
the Des Mones Ad Club. and is at
present manager of the Mitchell Ad-
vertising Agency of that city. His
subject was The Effect of the Ad Club
Spirit on a Town" He told of the
general trend OF advertising and of
advertising clubs, particularly as their
work affected the towns and cities. 1t
must be an extraordinary town indeed
that could not gain some decided ad-
vantages by encouraging this spirit OF
progress and publicity" he said.
Mr.. Mcdonald described briefly the
effect Of cooperative publicity being
done for such cities as Boston and
Baltimore. and small places where a
concerted effort was made to exploit in
print the particular advantages OF the
town.
Touching on the purposes Of the ad
club, he said: The advertising club
need not undertake TO be a chamber Of
commerce or a board Of trade hut, hsr-
ter than any other organization, it
can supply the enthusiasm, develop a
spirit OF cooperation. and remove the
impossibilities that stand in the way
Of progress How much can an adver
Using club he worth TO Your town?
From ten 10 a thousand times what it
will cost in dollars and cents. 1t all
depends upon the advertising men il
your town and the way the business
men back them up. There is no more
promising opportunity for investment
; for town. \ small investment of dol
lars and cents, with large admixture
! of brains and devotion, Will yield big
return in good Will and prestige
/; The subject dis cussed by the speaker
F.: for forty minutes was later opened for
general discussion, especially as regards
truth and purity of advertising. There
! is bill before the joint assembly now
. that would compel advertising matter
to tell the truth. No action with refer
ence 10 this bill was taken by the clu b,
however.

OPERATIONS DANGEROUS
Case Of Nebraska Farmer Who Sur.
vived the Operation, Blu. Failed to
Get Relief Until Treated BY United

Ed Wahaven, a prominent farmer
living on rural route 5, North Bend.
Eeb., is another convert to the theory
advanced by the United Doctors who
have their Marshailtown institute To-
Gated on the second floor of the Ma
sonic Temple building, that many sur
glcal operations are not only dangerous
10 life. but are also often unnecessary
and are frequently rushed into without
due consideration and, what is worst
OF all, when Unnecessary they fail TO
cure even ii the patient survives the
shock of the surgeons knife.
In regard 10 his own case Mr.. Wa
haven has written the following open
letter for publication:

pain in my side nearly as bad as be-
fore and my .stpmach and bowels were
left in a bad condition. l supposed

operation that would be all right. as
my surgeon said l would, but / had all
that pain and suffering for nothing.
Very fortunately l heard Of the
work being done by the United Doc
tors in these sort of troubles and COM

Any man or woman who is suffering
with any chronic, nervous or deep
seated disease OF long standing will

The thousands of cures that have
been made by these specialists at theil
various institutions thruout the coun-
try proves beyond the shadow of y
doubt that their new system of treat
ment is far in advance of the treat
ment used by ordinary doctors. IneS

less seriously before Il II settled.
This is the belief today Of Panama

New laws. directed against Chinese
residents Of Panams. recently passed.
together with official DEGREES issued
by President Pcrras. will practically
'legislate the Chinese out Of this sec
tion Of Central America. = spot where
they have been steadily growing la
numbers for many years. Failing Ia
get any satisfaction from the Pana-
manian government tho Chinese Re-
public has appealed to Washington
for help and holds that the United
States must see that thc Chinese res
idents OF Panama are given CONNER
ciAi protection.
The new laws come pretty close 10
taxing anything and everything a
lchinaman In Panama does. The
Chinese merchants claim that they
pay nearly 20 per cent OF the import
customs duties OF the country. yet.
under the new law. their chamber Of
commerce here is to be taxed $1,000
gold month which will drive II out
OF existence.
The social and religious organixa-
tions are heavily taxed. the Chinese
stores are restricted as TO the class OF
goods they may sell. the members OF
the race are required to register fire.
lQuently--and pay a fec each time
and other restrictions are placed al
most upon their every move.
The Chinese claim that this Ii In
direct violation Of the Panamanisn
constitution which guarantees equal
rights to the citizens OF all nations.
They also charge that when American
Minister Dodge. acting ON instruct
ions from Washington, appealed to
the Panama government no was pro-
missed that the laws would be- made
less drastic. but the matter was then
allowed TO rest.
The laws OF Panama do not permit
VI test Of the constitutionality OF
any new law unless the President and
his cabinet Disagree on that law.
There has been no disagreemsnt ON
the Chinese situation.
The Chinese Of Panama and Of Cen
trsi America are q thrifty. industri-
Gus lot. They never mix up In any Of
the political affairs OF the nations and
their dollars have done much to put
many OF these nations on . nrmer
financial footing. Tho credit OF the
Chinese merchants OF Panama ranks
high with the wholesalers Of the I'm
tied States from whom they buy
heavily.
