holding foremost positions in the
field of the varieties
First on the bill is 1.-The Right
Girl" a new cyclonic comedy pre-
scented by Mcconnell and Simpson,
prime favorites In vaudeville. Miss
Lulu Mcconnell, always a vivacious
Coincidence, with a refreshing dash
and originality, has the best part of
her career in the dual role of country
belle and female drummer, while her
equally able associate is simply i'm
mense as a rural dry goods mer-
chant. The act is described as one
of the funniest produced this season
and a laugh provoking vaudeville
gem.
Another novel act in vaudeville this
year is being shown by the Meredith
sisters, whose pleasing voices, mag
netic personalities and charming YER
satility have brought them nation
wide popularity. They open their
sketch as Dixie girls with an appro-
pirate song; then they glide into per-
sonation of Dutch girls, rendering a
native drinking song. Next they ap-
pear as Equimos, and quickly change
to daughters of the Nile, with a
beautiful setting in the background.
In this Egyptian scene they intro
Song" Chinese and Spanish songs
follow, and the climax is reached in
forest setting as Indian maidens.
Charles and Fanny Van, who
scored a hit in "A Case of Emer-
gency," will present their new act
entitled From Stage Carpenter to
Ackter." Everything that happens
in this skit is funny. If it weren't
so the Vans wouldn't be playing it.
Charles Van will be seen as a gar
rulous stage carpenter, and Fanny
Van will be seen as the indignant
but Ioquacious soubrette.
There are few teams in vaudeville
that have lasted with such unceas-
ing popularity as Ward and Curren,
who will always be remembered
through their famous sketch, 1.-THE
Terrible Judge" Their new act,
which will be seen for the first time
in Newark, is called 1.-The Stage Door
Tender" and is said to be another
bowling success.
Gladys Alexander and Co. will pre-
sent a new comedy-dramatlc sketch
entitled "Wreckage." written by
Pauline Phelps and Marion Short,
and Violinsky, an eccentric genius of
the violin and plano, will offer a
unique and wonderful musical di-
version.
Jean Bucaire, a Frenchman, hailed
as a marvel in jugglery, and a motion
picture depicting the thrilling life of
pioneer days in the West, will also
be featured.

lace Hall on Wednesday evening, April
/. Mr. Werrenrath Is the well-known
baritone, who has appeared frequently
with the Lyric Club, the Eintracht
Society and other organizations, and
who is also well-known through the
many excellent records of songs he
has made for a prominent talking
machine company. MIR. Adler is a pi
anist of international reputation. He
recently appeared with the Kneisel
Quartet in Newark, and has given a
series of recltals in New York this
season. His work with tue Kneisel
Quartet resulted in many expressions
of desire to hear him in recital here.
Messrs. Smith and Elder have pub
lished valuable work Art and Com
mon Sense" by Royal Contissoz,
art editor of the New York Tribune.
The writer believes that art Is not an
esoterie mystery, comprehensive only
to the artist and the critic, and his
purpose is ito test modern movements
and regulations in the light of COM
mon sense"
The much discussed opera, 'Pari-
sina," Of which the poem is by Signor

Cooperation Needed.
Editor Times:

Editor Times:
Permit me to suggest to the busl-
ness men of Harrison, through the
medium of your paper, that the
present seems an opportune time for
organized effort along the line Of
commercial cooperation and eXpan-
sion for our city.
The least Objectionable plan that
occurs to me is the setting aside Of
one day IN week as time for a
business mems meeting at some res
taurant, at noon, and talking over
plans and projects during the lunch
hour This method seems TO be
successful in cities of this size, and
in larger places The two main
points, ! suppose, are cooperation
and organization, Let everyone put
forth his ideas and let the whole
body consider and pass on them. 1t
can be a continuation of the Com.
mercial CluO or q booster NluD, or
it need not have a name,
If the business men think favor.
ably Of this idea they might talk it
over make the suggestion merely
because happen TO be secretary of
the only So.calcd organization Of
the kind that | know Of in Harrison,
the Commercial Club. There are
many things which | believe are
worthy the attention Of our citizens
help to our business college, the
matter of advertisement in the
Ozark Magazine, which Mr. and
Mrs Martin are now canyaSSing,
the matter Of getting Il creamery in
Harrison within the next two wears
aud dozens of other live issues,

The Girl and the Stampede al
Opera House Tonight.

Managers Of higher class at.
fractions are beginning TO learn that
they can do a profitable business for
their companies in the smaller cities
providing they make the prices
reasonable, This fact has been
followed by the managers of the
Girl aud the Stampede which comes
TO the Opera House tonight, For
three seasons this attraction played
the largest cities in the country and
was everywhere pronounced as one
o the best; but the large cities be.
come exhausted after such u length OF
time, and the show must thea be
retired or placed on the smaller time,
When this is done smaller cities are
usually asked 70 pay a dollar and a
half for seats, and as q rule they can
not do so, and the show is taken off
the road. Now it is not claimed by
the management Of the Girl and the
Stampede that they will give the
cast OF actors and rs big n pro.
duction as when they were playing
the largest cities and charging 81 80
to $500 per seat, but they do claim
to have the best attraction for the
prices asked that it is possible to
obtain; Judging from their Missouri
Girl" which appeared here earlier in
the season, they will not dissapoint
their patrons with this company,
The Girl and the Stampede is clear
clean cut western comedy, and
Messrs Norton aud Lambert
promise that it is u better show
than the Missouri Girl Prices 20

CONGRESSMAN FLOYD RE.
PLIES.

Washington, D. c., March 4, 1914.
l., c. Holt and Others;
| have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of letter dated Febru-
airy oath and received by me on the
2nd. instant, signed by yourself and
100 other patrons of the post office
at Harrison, inquiring as to why no
appointment or recommendation for
for post mast,r has been made at
your place. In reply | beg to say
that the general DELAY in the APP
pointment of post masters of the
first, second, and third class is due
to the policy of the Administration
announced by President Wilson
shortly after his inauguration to
the effect that where the present
incumbent of a presidential office
was rendering satisfactory service
he would not he disturbed until the
expiration of his term The term Of
Mr.. Slower, the present post master
at Harrison, did not expire until
February 10th, eight days prior to
the date Of your letter, The delay
in making appointments after the
expiration Of the incumbent's term,
in this as in other similar cases is
due TO overcrowdcd work in the
Post Office Department as explained
in letter from Postmaster General
Burle,on received today which |
herewith enclose YOU,
wish to disabse your mind en-
tirely Of any idea or rather OF an in
ference which think may properly
be drawn from yonr letter to the
effect that such delay is for the pur'
pose of favoring the present Re
publican postmaster at Harrison or
elsewhere. While Mr.. Slower is a
good personal friend Of mine, and
while have other good personal
friends among the present post
masters elsewhere, | must discIaim
any such motive or purpose on my
part, and as tor the President and
the Postmaster General, feel that
any such imputation against them
would be wholly unjust and un-
warranted,
Hoping that this explanation will
be satisfactory, and with highest
personal regards and best wishes, |
beg to remain,
Very sincerely,
.... |, {, FLOYD,

Although no complaints were filed
with the city council in meeting last
Monday night against the proposed

for which the council had previous.
ly provided, it is believed that there
will be some delay in the matter Of
these improvements, or at least
with regard to either the water or
the sewer Improvement, The COM
missioners-C. M, Greene Sro W. !,
!. Myers and G. w, O'Nral, have
been confronted with situation
which, it seems may be the cause Of
some change in the original plans,
The commissioners have found that
the valuation Of something over
100000 on property within the
territory included in the two dis.
tricts is not sufficient 70 allow the

100000, which will be required 70

sued for more than 20 percent of the
total valuation This within itself
will prevent the issuing Of 100000
in bonds,
1t is further understood bT the
commissioners thau the two sys.
TENS cannot be properly put in for
$4,000. The solution Of the mat.
ter, it is thought by members Of the
Improvement board, is in the taking
over Of the present water plant by
some firm or individual, or the en-.
largement Of the plant by the pres.
ent owners, and then the city may
go ahead and issue bonds within the
limit for the sewers wherever requr'
ed. The property valuation is suth'
eies ! large TO allow the putting
out of $4,000 if that much be re.
qured for the sewer Improvement
According to Investigations made
by the Commissioners, the putting
in Of 100000 worth Of improve.
ments now would mean the increas.
ingof taxes nearly $40 on the $1,000
Of valuation,
1t is reported that plans are being
considered by local men 70 organize
