OVER $4,000 IN
TICKETS ARE SOLD
NOT YET MADE POSSIBLE
MODERN THEATER.

Despite the fact that about $4,000
worth OF tickets for the opening Der
eft performance at the rebuilt Gale
theater have already been sold b,
the Comercial club committee ii
in charge. further support by thu
'peopie of Mitchell will | be necessary
before the hopes OF the city possess
ing a modern theater car be realized
At the meeting Of the special COM
mittee with the club directors on
Thursday evening, 1t became evident
that a little misunderstanding in the
minds OF many Mitchell people ex-
listed oyerathe position of the Com
merclal club. 1t also was found that
the sale Of the tickets would have
to be pushed to make the project
o certainty.
When the ]. +. Anderson Lumber
company first contemplated rebuild
ing the burned theater, 1t had two
plans in mind. One was to make a
motion picture theater, which could
be done at q comparatively small
expense and would pay a. revenue
than q regular playhouse.
AT a general meeting then called,
was the opinion of those present.
that Mitchell was in great need Of
with he lumber company were open
ed and the owners finally consented
to cooperate with the citizens OF
Mitchell In rebuilding a theater OF
which all might be proud.
In consideration of this promise,
the Commercial club, through the
special committee, pledged the sale
of tickets to the amount of $4,000
for theIapening performance. The
$1,000 does not commence to repre-
sent the difference In the cost OF
construction between the two plans.
1t Is not q donation to the lumber
but 1t is necessary tOfraise
this money to have the company re-
deem its promise and complete the
building as q n up-to-date theater.
Work on the building has progress
ed to = point where 1t is necessary
. decide Immediately, in case the
motion picture theater fdea has to
be adopted. The soliciting commit
tee is to continue Its work, as many
people in Mitchell have not yet been
seen. 1t IS hoped that the response
Will measure up to Mitchell's habit
of boosting.
Since the agreement was first
made with the lumber company, the
plans have been changed in differ
ent directions and from $4,000 to
more will be spent than was
originally intended. The people of
Mitchell will be the gamers in the
increased safety. comfort and beauty
Of the new theater.

REPUBLICANS
SPENT MOST
EXPENDITURES IN DAWSON
COUNTY BUT 81 MORE THAN
DEMOCRATS.

Dawson county Republicans spent
exactly one dollar more than the
Democrats in the recent general cleo
ton and as a result elected just
twice as many county officials. At
least that's one inference that may
drawn from the expenditures of
the county central committees.
Figures in the office of the coun-
ty auditor show that Fred C. Drake,
treasurer ct the Republican commit
tee, expended $3S1.77 during the
campaign and has a balance of $48.-
So left in the treasury. Each of the
county candidates contributed to the
fund, e. r. Owens, sheriff-elect, pay
ing the heaviest war tax" Of $50.
Many small items, such as automo-
bile hire, telephones, postage and
stenographers took largest amount
of the expenditures. The heaviest
appropriation went to the Coxe-Dur-
kee company for printing, amounting
to $109.85. Other printing bills
were 81 to w. H. King and $6.55
to the Mitchell Publishing company.
1t. w. Mitchell, according to the
itemized statement received $25 for
screaming the eagle"
M. f. Patton, treasurer of the
Democratic committee, filed a state
ment showing expenditures of $780,
~, with a balance of $77.23 in the
treasury. C. w. Downey. secretary
of the committee, received the heav-
lest single appropriation. that of
$145.97 for printing. The various
candidates and officers contributed
the amount of $457.95 to the fund.

ADVANTAGE.

industrial Collegian: The modern
eame cf forward passing versus the
smashing game was responsible TOR
the sone4sided defeat OF State college
at the hands Of Dakota Wesleyan at
Mitchell Thanksgiving day. The
marvellous forward passing of Hine,
the little Mitchell quarter back, was
revelation and the principal thing
about the Mitchell aggregation that
made their attack against the SD. s.
g. team q vulnerable one. Hine IL a
cool, heady player and has a whip
that would nearly make Walter
johnson or Christy Mathewson shed
tears OF envy.
At the very beginning of the sec
Ond period an incomplete forward
pass by State on the fourth down
was unsuccessful and the ball went
over to Mitchell. Here the scores be-
gan to double and finally treble. Hine
got back OF his line at a safe distance
~ perhaps is yards and stood pos
Ing with the ball until he saw a man
free down the field. Then, in an
inc0ncerned manner, he would shoot
the 0val with ~unerring speed to his
team mate, who usually made from
ten to twenty yards. States team
seemed at j LOSS to fathom readily
the passes which their opponents
were able to work about sixteen
times out Of nineteen trials.
For State Caldwell, playing his

From American Museum Journal.
Did you ever see a pareiasarius, or
ever hope to see one?
1t lived in 49, 00.0 600 B. c.. and was a
large limbed reptile about nine feet
long and standing about three and Il
half feet high. In many points it
shows affinities with the American rep
tile diabetes. Of which a mounted
skeleton is to be seen in the museum.
This creature with the long-distance
age record was unearthed in the Kar-
roo formation in Cape Colony, South
Africa, by DR.. Robert Broom. the
worlds chief authority of South
African paleontology. who has been in
America for some months engaged in
important comparative research.
Speaking of the karroo formation,
DR.. Broom says in his article on South
African Fossil Reptiles" in the publi-
cation:
I'VE call our South African deposits

the Karroo desert-and there is prob

According to the writer, the best

remarkable OF the Karroo reptiles be-

having horny beaks like turtles or
birds, and in many forms a pair Of
large, walruslike tusks.

Corrective Diets for Children.

There is no greater evidence of the

phylaXis-of prevention. rather than of
cure. If we are to prevent diseases, we
are told that we must begin at the
very beginning: we must get a good
start. and have our d%efenses ready be-
for the attack. The health Of every
one. child or adult. depends upon his
power of resistance. 1t is not possible
to annihllate germs: we eat them n
drink them. we breathe them, and pass
them on to others. There are good.

everything else that is so plentiful.
And as a protection against the bad
ones-the carriers of disease-there
must be built up in each human body.
to as great an extent as possible. this
power Of resistance.
The value of food is being taken
much more largely into consideration
than was formerly the case. Today a
doctor often hands his patient a diet
list in place of three or four different
prescriptions. With children particu-
larly is this matter of nourishment
there is merely an indication of GER
tain diseases. rather than the actual
presence of the disease itself. The
careful physician does not wait for a
fully developed case OF St. Vitus' dance,

scribing h proper diet.
And an intelligent mother. while she
