FARCE BY AMATEURS
 MAKES A HIT.
Given by Young People at Church of
 the Good Shepherd.

Before a good sized audience in the social room at the Church of the Good Shepherd and under the auspices of the Y. P. c. U. of the church a three act farce entitled A Regiment of Two was given on Tuesday evening by a cast of ten whose admirable work was the cause for much congratulation and made it an amateur production of con- nights in succession, and the promise is for a capacity house at the second performance tonight.
 THE CAST.
 The following was the cast:
 Arthur Sewall, a theoretical warrior.
 J. Oliver Armstrong Ira Wilton. his father-in-law, another.
 Sumner w. Armstrong Harry Brentworths Aruhtr's friend.
 Albert H. Gebrath Reginald Dudley, an sEnglishman,
 Herbert Lawrence Jim Buckner, known as The Parson,
 George Fillmore Conrad Melzer. a plumber.
 George A. Keppler Eliza Wilton, Ira's better half,
 Elsie Peck Grace Sewall, wife of Arthur.
 Eleanor Gebrath Laura Wilton. daughter of Ira,
 Ruth Rush Lena, a German maid, Leotta Oat In the three acts of the farce, which are all given with the same stage set ting, the many tangled situations pro- vided plentiful opportunities to bring out the laughter and applause of the audience as they were developed in the lively action of the play and the ca pablo handling of the situations by the young people.
 Noticeable for it's faithfulness to the model was the work of Herbert Law renee as the English lord, afflicted with a monocle and the necessary mannerisms in voice and pastures, while J. Oliver Armstrong and Sum ner w Armstrong, with Albert H. Gebrath, who were the arch conSpira- tors whose little schemes made all the George A. Keppler, who was the di- rector, had the part of the German plumber in the cast. filled this to per lection and his appearance and render ing of his lines were inevitably follow ed by the hearty laughter of the house George Fillmore also played his char acter part well.
 The four young ladies each filled an acceptable part in the pretty stage pictures, with stage presences we'll chosen to add to the effectiveness of the scenes. As the energetic and man. agerial wife, who was not to be fool ed Miss Peck defineated the part with nice balance, and Miss Gebrath showed character Of somewhat tenderer mold. Miss Rush was charming and unaffected in her lines and the love- scenes that her part called for while Miss Loetta Oat did some clever char acter work as the German maid. En- thusiastic curtain calls were respond ed to at the end Of each act.
 Geer's orchestra played between the acts and before the curtain went up.

MT. Dealer, Do You Watch the Newspapers :?

Do you keep track of the nationally sold products now be- ing advertised in the newspapers, so that you can take advantage of the demand?
 The manufacturer who is using the newspapers of your town Is making a market right at your doorstep-a market for you.
 Make your windows and your displays of such a nature that you will reap the harvest.
 It is plain business sense to do so-to put your own push behind the pull of the Dthen fellows advertising so that the dollars will flow your way
 That is cooperation for the benefit of your own pocket.

An attorney for the oil company this
afternoon Is looking up the legality of
the move and II he finds that ii can be
accomplished in conformance to the
lag and without a vote of the people.
Il is more than likely that the city
commissioners will vote to give the
use of the street over to the company
for fits new factory.
However, there are still two matters
which will need be attended to after
the city does its share. A solid foun-
dation for the structure is needed and
engineers will go over the ground to-
morrow 10 see If the land is fitted for
the structure
The matter OF securing the property
from the Denkmann estate must also

this will in no manner stand in
the way of the location of the COM

good proposition has been offered the
concern.
Anxious to Locate Here.
The company is anxious TO locate in
Rock Island and is willing TO spend
