AMUSEM ENTS.
Odeon Audiences Carried Back to
Childhood DAYS With "little Women"


Childhood Days With "littIe Women"
Two Odeon audiences were carried
back to the days Of childhood yester-
day when William A. Brady's players
presented Marian DeForest's dramatic
version of Louisa ". Alcott's Little
Women" The story of Meg. 10, Beth.
OF childhood for almost half a century,
proved one Of interest even tho the
book had been read long years ago.
II has been no small task TO drama
tie g work OF the character of the
Alcott book and still preserve enough
of the original text TO carry a stage
story successfully. In her efforts the
dramatist has succeeded, and we are
enabled TO laugh with the joys Of the
March girls, be interested in their love
affairs, and sympath!ze with them in
thei: scrrOTs.
With one exception the cast was
very satisfactory. Margery Taylor as
10. the character supposed to personify
the author herself in her recital Of the
life Of her own family, gave a mos:
pleasing Interpretation, and good also
were Lucy Cotton as Meg, and Elaine
Benton as Amy. A superb bit Of char
acter work was done by Eleanor Carey
as Aunt March. Margaret Dills was
very satisfactory as Mrs. March,
George VI. Clark as Laurie. G. C.
Gwynne as Joan Brooks, and Max
JuergeDs as Professor Bhaer. The only
weak spot in the cast was the Mr..
March Of Ed Deforgc, who was not
made up old enough for the character
in the first place, and whose work ap-
pcarcd anateurish beside the other
members Of the company.
Two small audiences greeted the
production at the afternoon and even
ing performances.

TEAMS VICTORIOUS IN TWO OF
THE THREE CONTESTS HELD
FRIDAY NIGHT.
NEGATIVE WINS At MASON
CITY; AFFIRMATIVE HOME
Federal Arbitration Of Labor Disputes
Question That 10 Considered-Mason
City Wins Local Debate and Mar.
shalItown Team Surrenders Cup
Taken Year Ago.

! Interest IN high school circles OF
three Iowa cities was centered Friday
night in the triangular debating con-
test between teams of Fort Dodge
Mason City. and Marshal!town high
schools. Fort Dodge easily captured
the honors, winning at Mason City and
at home. Mason City Won the debate
here. In each case the negative team
appeared away from home.
Federal Arbitration Discussed.
The question considered by the de-
baters was. Resolved. that the federal
government establish board Of aroi-
traitor, with compulsory powers TO
settle labor disputes"
In the home debate. held in the gym
nasiun of the manual training build
Ing. rlc Afarshalltown team was com
posed of John Battin. James Boucher
and Homer Cough. The opposing mega
tive team from Mason City comprised
Max Esloff and Misses Lola Heisel~
man. and Mabel Hawkins. The decision
of the judges was 20 l in favor Of
Mason City.
In the Fort Dodge Marshalltown de
bate at Fort Dodge, Fort Dodge won oy
q unanimous vote Of the Judges. The
visiting negative team was composea
Of Van Evans. Francis Wilcox, and
Miss Eerna Paul.
Graham: W. Lawrence, member OF
the school board, acted as chairman OF
the loci! debate. The high school
orchestra PLAYED. The judges Of the
debate here were Profs. John P. Ryan.
of Grinnell College, and a. B. Noble
and Louis b Schmidt or Iowa State
College, Ames.
In winning locally the Mason City
team was presented by Superintendent,
Palmer with the silver loving cup that
Narshalltown won from Mason City in
a similar contest held last year.
Fort Dodge Has Fine Training.
Fort Dodge high school pupils have
had unusually fine training in public
speaking, and the work that has been
given them told materially in the re-
suits. The Fort Dodge school employs
an instructor in public speaking who
devotes his time to the training of the
pupils along this particular line. Con-
trasted with the work at Fort Dodge
the local teams this year have been
at a disadvantage thru the change in
principals during the middle OF the
school year. after former Principal
Gray had started the work Of coaching
preparatory to the annual triangular
event.

LOCAL COMMENT

The opposition and dissention tina:
has arisen over the boundaries OF the
districts proposed in the consolidation
Of rural schools in the vicinity OF
Green Mountain and Of Liscomo en-
pathizes one defeat in the school con-
| solidation law; the lack OF some de-
Lucrative tribunal to define the dis-
trict in the best interest OF all con-
cerned. School consolidation Is going
down II defeat because of dissention
as to district boundaries when the ma
jority are actually in favor OF a. con
solidated and graded school IN rura!
communities. 1t would have been Well
TO have instituted some kind of COM
mission of disinterested persons TO
hear evidence and define the proposed
district before an election is called.
Then self interest of those who started
the project would not have an oppor-
tunity to work or even to arouse sus-
picion.
The time has arrived to drag the
roads and they are being dragged in
many localities. Where they have been
dragged they are fine for travel, too.
The county is we'll organized to keep
its county roads up this year Z those
who have volunteered to supervise d.
visions will do their duty. Because OF
an increase in valuations township
dragging funds will be boosted nearly
one-third in actual money this year SO
there should be no neglected township
roads.
The city Of Marshalltown Is the one
spot in need of attention. 1t is time
to drag the roads in town. for COM
plants have already come to the news
paper office that country roads have
been dragged while the city streets
have net. There Is no need Of vol
unteer aid SO early in the year.
The completing of survey Of the
Lincoln Highway across the county
and its inspection and approval by an
experienced railroad engineer in charge
of this district under the state engi-
neer shows US the bushes like system
Of the present road law. When grad
ing starts on this road every yard Of
dirt will be moved to a definite plan
and not single yard will have to be
moved twice 1t suggests precision
Of railroad work when two crews start
TO tunneling on opposite sides Of
mountain and come together under the
mountain without diverging fraction
OF an inch. Two per cent Of the total
bridge and road moneys spent for en-
cheering and plans to work to is
money we'll spent.
The purchase Of d steam shovel for
road grading is unique in Iowa and
seems strange at first glance, but the
steam shovel is very common ma
chine in railroad grading ard can be
seen at work on all Dig hill cutting in
eastern states. When it is remembered
how Mayor Jones best friends thought
he had made big blunder in purchas-

There is neither partisan politics

the vast volume of business this court

tent hands of the high-minded gentle
men on the bench and under the
painstaking scrutiny of a chief justice
who is a credit to the state, the scales
of justice in the high court of the

mayors and councils to elect boards

complaints and made reductions and
additions to the taxation returns. 1t

had bill offered in the general as

the cities and comforting the naming
of the members of new boards upon

bers were really selected by Republi
can county committees, who also in
sisted on choosing the minority rep

the state officials. Mr.. Hanna's plan
worked well and IL was not until the
state tax commission was created
that his street railway properties

JUDGE HUGH L. NICHOLS

Swinging away from the old parti-
san standards that marked its course
and made the judicial ermine lose
public respect, the supreme court of
Ohio Is meeting the problems pre-
sented in plain daylight, the glow of
justice illumines its acts and the rule
OF fairness and common sense mark
its procedure.
For this welcome change the Demo
cratic party can claim full credit and
a very great portion justly belongs to
the first constitutional chief justice
OF the state, Judge Hugh l.. Nichols
The composition of the court was
such this result could be quickly
worked out and the opportunities that
