SET HANDS HOUR AHEAD
Movement Has Been Set on Foot in
Chicago to Gain One Hour

A plan to move the hands of the
clock up one hour in order to gain one
hour of daylight, particularly in the
summer, will be extended to the entire
country if a Chicago association of
Commerce recommendation is taken
up by the United States chamber of
commerce. A special committees re-
port recommending that an additional
hour of daylight could be gained by
advancing the clock an hour was ap-
proved by the executive committee of
the association. If the plan were

mo SMOKING" IN KENTUCKY

A>O A31OAAA4No OSh .
The flying squadron, which will soon
make whirlwind campaign through
state of Kentucky, will, it is thought,
take up the matter of statewide
law prohibiting the use of tobacco in
any form. At the recent annual meet
ing of the Kentucky Woman's Christ
ian Temperance Union, held in Win
chester, Clark County, strong resolu-
lions were passed by the convention,
opposing the use of the weed on the
grounds of morality and the general
benefit of the people. The Flying
Squadron will probably follow this
lead and it is likely that prohibition of
the use of both liquor and tobacco will
be discussed and advocated. Many
states have anti-cigarette laws-prac-
tically all of which are dead-letters as
far as enforcement is concerned but
no state has yet passed a sweeping
law against the use of tobacco in any
form. AS Kentucky is one of the
great tobacco-raising districts, it will
be interesting to watch the results of
an attempt to prohibit it's use in hat
commonwealth.

STUDENTS HELPING
School Children Contributing Funds
Funds for Building to be Erect
ed at the County Fair.

Edward Schmidt, principal of the
Elrosa schools, played Santa Claus at
the office of County Superintendent of
Schools w. A. Boerger this morning,
says the St. Cloud Times. Mr.. Schmidt
has an unstained upper lip and is in
nocent of flowing beard. His years
are not heavily numbered. Neverthe-
less he assumed the role of that fc-
titious parsonage whose residence is
in that region about which no little
argument is circulated when Cook and
Perry fall to discussing the location
and likely approach to that magma
tive point in the ice-ridden arctics.
The pedagogical Santa Claus turned
over to the County Superintendent the
results of joint social given by his
and school district, No. 127 for the
benefit of the county fair educational
building fund.
Assuming the dignity of a minia-
ture fair, the students of the Elrosa
and district No. 127 schools gave a
social in the Elrosa hall on Dec. II
under the supervision of Messrs.
Schmidt and AL. Schmitz. The fair
yielded SIG.
The check returned by these two
districts is the first donation to the
educational building fund received
during the present school year. Last
year several schools realized sums
from similar endeavors. The money
will be eventually used for the erec-
ton of an educational building to
be built upon the Stearns county fair
grounds at Sank Centre.
School work exhibits have become
a prominent feature at the fair and
the desireability of a building for edu-
cational work exhibits exclusively is
felt. The students of the county have
assumed the task of causing the cree
ton of such a building.

"HANKY PANKY" WITH
n " 4 II
BIG COMPANY


The forthcoming invasion of Whining.
ton by Lew Fields all star "Hanky
Panky,' which will be seen at The
Playhouse September 3, will be an event
worth noting. Few attractions that
have played the big cities have received
such unanimous endorsements from the
press OF played to so many consecutive
capacity audiences as this cyclonic en-
tertainment. The advent of a Lew
Fields production is considered by dis
eliminating people to be one Of the
amusement events of the season. With
its record of over 200 nights in Chicago,
Boston and New York, it is easily one
OF the most important musical comedy
productions to be seen today The
original company remains practically in
tact, including the large chorus of beau
tiful girls. This is most unusual for
while principals may be ured from
Broadway by large salaries, it is seldom
that the management of musical com
edy will pay a salary large enough to
induce the chorus girls Of the first rank
to go on the road. This is just what
the management of 'Hanky Panky'' has
done, and not only the original statu-
esque and beautiful show girls, but the
cute little ponies and dancing girls are
still with the show. Among the prin-
cipals Of the all-star cast, Miss Virginia
Evans, the beautiful young prima donna
is still singing Cleopatra. Al and Fam
ME Stedmond are singing in their anus
ing specialties, while Miss Stedman
plays screamingly funny Clorindc
Scribblem.
Dayy Jones. Lester Bernard. Ralph
Edwards and LOUIS Archer comprise the
male contingent. The charming Ruth
Harris. the beautiful Florence Cripps
and Sally Daily, who have been with
'Hanky Panky" continuously since its
beginning, are still seen in the same
parts they have always played. There
are twenty musical numbers in the piece
which have been played in every part of
the country and are the most tuneful
ever written by these men far famed
for writing most tuneful music "Rose
J of Pyramid Land" "Whcre the Edel-
weiss is Blooming" "Dixie Love-" "The
Ilvre Bird and the Jay together with
'llappy Days" are Some Of the best OF
the numbers. "Hanky Panky'' is one oi
the most gorgeous shows ever taken on
the road. The scenery is so heavy and
so cumbersome and so many trunks ar,
necessary to transport the wardrobe
together with nearly 100 people com
prising the company, making il neces
sary for them TO travel in their owl
special train.

IMPROVING THE
new Century CLUB
800 Feet of Floor Space
Added and New Entrance
Made

Work Of remodelling the New
Century Club Building is progress
ing rapidly, and when the fall social
season opens, the building will be
ready for occupancy. The floor space
has been increased Sy 500 square feet,
new heating and ventilating facilities
have been installed and a new en-
trance facing the north has been
built This door and the west door,
opening ON the stairway are to be
protected by a slate roof. Instead of
climbing two flights of stirs here
after for a smoke, men are provided
with comfortable smoking accommo-
dations in the basement The in
novation of an elevator will do away
with stair climbing other improve
ments in the basement include the
kitchen. which is very considerably
altered for the better nd made much
lighter by an areaway built up on
the east side.
So far only the rougher part Of
the work has been accomplished, but
Il will not be long before the paint
ing and redecoratlng OF the drawing
room will prevail but the medium
used will be different from the wa
ter color formerly employed. The
Century Club has recently acquired
a small lawn on the west side, where
fifteeen feet we're purchased from the
Historical Society, In order TO insure
an adequate open space between the
clubhouse and any building that
might be erected on the adjoining

SPRINGS PARK VAUDEVILLE.

With better weather conditions, more
of the patrons of Brandywine Springs

vaudeville show there than was the case
early in the week, when the weather
conditions were unfavorable. IL ap-
pears as if everybody wants to see this
show, not only because the season is
drawing to a close, but also because it
is especially clever. Johnny Healy, the
famous minstrel, is one of the comedy
hits. and he is getting lots of applause,
while there are a number of other head
liners, and it is good all the way
through.
Arrangements have been completed
for the big events scheduled for the
park next week, the volkfest of the
Delaware Saengerbund on Tuesday and
Wednesday and the outing of the ltal-
ian-American Alliance on Thursday.
Each will have special music and spe
