FOR A CHRISTMAS TRUCE.
Berlin Accepts POpe's plea for
Christmas Truce on Condition
That Other Warning Pow

Pope Benedict sent out recently q
request to all the powers for Christ
mas time truce.
Pacifists who have supported the
idea for Christmas truce have ar
gued that if fighting could be stop
ped for the space of a week or so the
war could be ended.
Immediately Germany received
the suggestion OF Pope Benedict for
ia truce among the warning nations
during the Christmas holidays an al
firmative reply was sent to the Vati-
can.
The reply, however, was condi-
tional on the acQuiescence of all the
other belligerents in the pope's sug
gestion."

ed resolution III the senate to car
ry an appeal from the congress of the
United States to the warning powers
in Europe for a cessation of hostili.
ties over the Christmas season.

vides that the president, through
the state departmt mt, 'intercede with
the diplomatic representatives of the
warning powers stationed in Wash

that the Christian people of the world
may fittingly observe the Christmas" 4"
The resolution further expresses
tho hope that such cessation of hos

the part of the warning nations as to
the meaning and spirit of the Christ,

will toward men may come again
on earth.

TO ERADICATE AILMEN
AND DETERMINE THE RCF
The Dean of the Iowa Delogation
Has in the Past Proved His
Efficiency as COnserva-
Zionist in Agricul-
tUral Matters.

Thankful that the dread scourge--
more fatal than it was in Iowa, but
fearful lest the ravaging ailment
might return, Congressman Haugeu,
OF the Fourth Iowa district, upon
his return to Washington Wednes
day began at once to consider legis-
lation and appropriations that would
better fortify the department of agra
culture in handling subsequent cases
AS a member of the committee on
agriculture. the dean of the Iowa
delegation has in the past proved his
efficiency as a coaaeryationist when it
comes to agricultural matters, and
he intends to give the latest episode
with which the department has bat"
tied his most careful attention.
Consideration OF the bill introduced
at the opening session of the senata :
by Senator Kenyon is now being
made by Mr.. Haugen with the idea OF
fathering a similar measure, if it
meets with his views, in the lower
House. The Kenyon bill SEEKS an
appropriation of $2,250,OOO for the
use OF the department Of agricultu.
in eradicating Tie foot and mouth
disease. Mr.. Haugen desires, if
possible, for the department not only
to eradicate the ailment, but to d.
termine it's source and begin, there
with a view of forever eliminating 1t
or at least find a remedy that would
be effective before such great losses
as featured the recent scourge have
been occasioned. The result of Con
egressman Haugens inquiries, doubt
less, will be to call the attention OF
the committee on agriculture on the
need of legislation and money with
which to conserve the live stock in
terests of the nation.
That the situation in the foot and
mouth disease in Iowa is gradually
bettering itself is seen in the deci-
sion of Secretary Houston to lift the
quarantine in Clinton. Jackson, Iowa,
Johnson, Jones and Cedar, wherein
the infection has actually appeared.
The head of the department OF agri-
culture has just assured Congress
man Vollmer that within week or
ten days, the movement of cattle in
these and other counties in the Sec
ond Iowa district will not be interfer-
ed with.
The decision &C lift the quarantine
will come as a God-send to many of
the stock dealers in the affected ter
ritory. This period of the year Is
one in which large shipments of stock
are made, and the effect of the rigid
quarantine already has been seen IN
the shrinkage of bank deposits IL

The Baby's Name.

A baby was born to Mr. and Mrs.
Silver. and they named the child
Stirling. The daughter born to MI.
and Mrs. Button was named Pearl.
Mr. and Mrs. Bowers baby girl was
called Shadey. A family by the
name of Hogg named one OF their
twins Ina and the other IRA. All
of these are real names borne py
rea, children, and doubtless the
children. ahave suffered from the
lack of thought of the parents VINO
gave them suggestive names.
In naming a baby, it is well to re-
member that Providence permitting
you are naming a man or woman
and the name gwen should be one
which is dignified. There is no lack
of beautiful names for boys and
girls. Margaret, Elizabeth, Esther
Janet, etc, are much better names
for a sweet baby girl than Ethelind
Gwendoline. Novine, or Ananine
William, Robert or Henry are tai
preferable to Reginald, Claude, o.
Adolphus. Try and imagine hoV
the baby will feel about his name l.

1.-THE RED WIDOW"
COMING TO DEBORAH
Another High Class Musical Play
VIII Appear at the Grand
Monday Evening
Jan. 4.
NO STRONGER MUSICAL
COMEDY ON THE ROAD
Miss Beatrice Doan, Who Sings the
Title Role Has Been Identified
With Many of the Best
Productions Made in
This Country.

No matter how well the authors
of a play may have done their work
the piece must be properly acted or
| it cannot succeed. Charming Pol
lock and Renold Wolf took the pre-
caution of having inserted in all of
their contracts THE cast must meet
with the approval of the authors"
For this reason whenever a Pollock
Wolf piece is announced the public
is sure of seeing capable company
of players and a performance every
detail of which has been given the
most careful thought and considera-
ton.
In the case Of 'The Red Widow"
the musical play which comes to the
Grand, Monday, Jan. 4th, 1915 the
casting was left entirely to Messrs.
Wolf and Pollock who also directed
the staging of TIE piece. The result
is one of the best and most evenly
balanced companies that has ever
been sent on tour.
Miss Beatrice Doan, who sings the
title role has been identified with
many of the best productions made
in this country. She is an actress as
we'll as a prima donna and makes
of her part gem of the purest
ray.
Cliff Heckinger will be seen as the
wealthy corset manufacturer who
becomes entangled with the Russian
secret police. He has much clever
work to his credit, but is likely best
remembered on account of his associ-
satiols with The Merry Widcr" With
which he was seen for many years.
All of the other principals are peo-
pie we'll and favorably known in the
dramatic profession. Ynez Dean, has
been with most of the prominent
stars, but her present part is said to
be better suited to her than any In
which she has yet been seen. Georgia
lie Mae, who is the ingenue with
The Red Widow was one of the
| famous Three Twins Yama Girls.
She was, however, in vaudeville play
ing in the big B. F. Keith houses
when secured for her present role.
VIM. Pruette, Jr. another of the all
star Red Widow" cast comes of an
old theatrical family. His father
VIM. Pruette, Sr. is even today con-
sidered the best baritone to be found
for musical comedy. His son is Il
clean cut young chap and as clever
juvenile as could be found. The
other principals are Walter Paschal,
Fred Hoadley, Joseph Carter, Leon
ard Delmore, Ynez Dean all players
who have earned their laurels and
are entitled to the best their calling
has to offer. The Red Widow"
chorus is one of its features. Seldom
If ever has there been assembled SO
many young women who can sing and
dance as we'll as look well. On the
whole it is doubtful if there is n
stronger or better equipped musical
comedy on the road today than THE
Red Widow" Reserved seats on
