Play Brimming Over
With Interest And
Powerful Punch.
THE SCENE OF THE PLAY "
is IN THE OZARK MOUNTAINS
Its Characters Are the Type we Know
And Understand, Real Flesh
and Blood People Telling
Story of Vital ~.
Interest.

The plays which do the most good
in the world are those which set men
thinking. The task has been we'll
accomplished by Harold Bell Wright
in the dramatization of his popular
book. The Calling Of Dan Mat
thews." The scene Of the play is
in the Ozark mountains, in a little
town called Corinth. The hero is q
young preacher, and by the way, -
the son of our old friends. Sammy
and Young Matt, whom we know in
The Shepherd of The Hills" who
comes to Corinth to be pastor of one
Of its churches. At first he is well
received. Later, in preaching the
convictions of his own heart and in
befriending Denny, poor boy, ant
his mother, and a poor inocent girl
for whose bad reputation certain
persons in his church are largely re-
sponsible, he is driven to resign his
position as pastor, and the most in
fiuential members in the church turn
out to be the meanest and the lowest.
In the dramatization, the story is
brought out with dramatic force and
strength that leaves absolutely moth
ing to be desired.
There is delightfully."- humorous
old character in the person of the
old doctor, who is disciple Of Isaac
Walton, and believes that the best
medicine for tired heart or a weary
brain is to catch good mess of fish.
Tbs love tory running through
the piece is sweet. pure wholesome,
and this, together with some extreme

situations, make play brimming

MAKE TT AT HOME.
Experimenting with Dye Stuffs by
American Factories Will Re-
suit in Making Dyes in
This Country.

One Of the incidents of the wal
situation is the difficulty American
factories are finding in securing dye
stuffs. The result will be an effort
to make dyes in this country. Prob.
ably there Will be some improve.
ment in this very important branch
textile industry.
1t is remarkable what poor work
in the use of imported dye stuffs,
and in the colors of imported goods,
has been accepted in the past. Ev-
cry man realizes how badly the av-
erage negligee shirt holds it's color.
1t seems to make little difference
whether the material is expensive or
got. Often half a dozen washings
fade the shirt so much that it looks
old and worn out. Women of course
find similar trouble in many kinds
of their clothing.
A manufacturer of textiles was
asked why he did not take more
pains to turn out fast colors. He
laughed at the question, and admit
ted that it would cost but a trifing
fraction of cent yard more to use
colors that would be practically fast.
But who would buy them?" he ask
ed.
He went on to say that the only
people that seem to have a desire
to get fast colors are those who can
afford to throw away clothes long
before they are worn out. Probably
some manufacturers do not like to
make colors too fast. 1t would en-
courage people to wear clothes too
long. That would hurt trade
The demand for better coloring OF
textiles has had much to do with the
spread Of recent years Of the arts
and crafts movement. These workers
dug up the dye books of their grand
mothers. when fabrics were often
woven and colored ait home, and
when material was made to wear.
They tAstei fabrics with long expo
sure to sun and rain. and produce
colors that stand. They use vegeta-
BILE dyes to large extent. which are
usually less harsh than chemicals
and which blend into each other with
more beauty.
In so far as American mills under
present war conditions are experi-
menting with new dyes. they will
find that firm colors will be appre-
ciated by growing number of peo.
pie.

JUDGE HOBsON PAROLES SIX.
Says Booze Causes at Least 6j Per
cent Of Crime i'm His Court
Urges Industry.

at West Union last week says the
Gazette, Judge Hobson inaugurated
a course of action which he called
an experiment, that Of putting young
offenders under the supervision OF
the board of control. He had before
him for receiving sentence six young
men and youths, all of whom had
pleaded guilty. He gave them sen
tences ranging from one to ten years
in the reformatory, according to the
provisions of the indeterminate SEN
tence law, but in every case he rec
ommended to the state board of par
ole that the prisoners be paroled by
them. This means that the six young
men will not go to the reformatory
till the board of parole so orders,
but at any time that the board of
parole decides the paroled man is
the confidence reposed in
him he can be taken up without fur
Their legal proceedings and required
to serve out his term. Judge Hob
son could have paroled the young
men himself, but preferred not to
do so on account of the superior IA
cilities of the board of parole for
keeping track of the conduct of the
paroled men.
In pronouncing kIentence Judge
Hobson took occasiSn to address re-
marks to the various prisoners which
we're in much the same strain to all,
and which were substantially as fol-
ows:
"The criminal cases in my court
lave been unpleasantly numerous
his year. l have had to pronounce
sentence on thirteen men in the past
hirty days. A sad fact is that
arge proportion of those whom I
lave been called upon to sentence
ire young men and boys. And as is
he case with 1--WE out of six Of the
young men I am sentencing today,
liquor is assigned in almost every

1t the forks of the road. You now

valuable and respected citizens of
your various communities. But first
md foremost, If you intend to do
his you must let liquor alone. At
east siXty-five per cent of all the
business brought into my
court is due, directly or indirectly, to
he booze habit, and that is conser-
,ative figure. Also, if you expect to
make something of yourselves, take
my honorable job that is offered to
'ou, and don't be too particular as
% whether it is an agreeable job or

The democratic paper at Waukon
says that the iron mines near that
place have been closed down On ac-
count of the war in Europe. This is
another war measure; but the repub-
lican paper at the same place says
that the iron mines were closed down
months before there was a war In
Europe, as the direct result of the
tariff crippling the factories of this
country. Perhaps, up at Waukon.
they knew those months in advance
that there would be war in Europe
and so they closed the mines in an
ticipation Of that trouble. But it is
at least bringing the tariff issue
home to the voters in Allamakee
