1.-THE PRICE,

Clarence Bennett, the author Of
The Holy City Thy Neighbours
Wife, and number of other dra-
matte successes. known nationwide
as one Of the foremost character act
tors of the English speaking stage.
will appear here at the Isis Theatre
on Saturday, January II, as the Rus
sian Professor. in the intensely hui
man drama. The Price, by George
Broadhurst, author of Bought and
Paid For and other successful plays.
Mr.. Bennett is still remembered by
old play-goers whose memories reach
back to the days Of "Trlby,' for
his powerful and intense characteri-
cation of Svengah, the Hypnotist; and
in later years his portrayal of the
beautiful part of John the BAPTIST and
Judas the traitor in the great produc-
ton of his own play, The Holy
City,"
His conception of the Russian Pro
fessor in The Price" is said to be
life picture, at once convincing and
artistic in the extreme, as is every
character this veteran actor touches
with the magic Of his culture and
taste.
Mr.. Bennett is an artist of the
old school; the play in which he now
appears is one Of intense human in
terest, and, like all true dramatic sue
cesses, it has real purpose and a
motif. 1t tells story that is worth
telling and tears the mask from the
face of civilized traditions with merci
less hand.
The real center of the story is the
beautiful and powerful part of Ethel
foscani, which is magniicently Played
by Edna Marshall, around which the
other characters cluster; each part
is SO strong that it requires real
artist for it's portrayal. The play has
been staged with one of the strong
est companies on the road. The
:.cen.c production is the same as
used in New York during it's long
run in that city.

Another thing-did you ever stop
70 think what convenience it is to
have full line of goods in the re-
tail stores at home in your own com.
munities. 1t enables people to see
what they are paying for, and then
you get your goods when you want
them. You can take all the time you
want to talk over your purchases and
inspect goods.
1t is the good fortune of the citi-
gems Of this valley to have line OF
finely equipped and attractively stock
ed stores. If every dollar possible
was spent at home these stores could
grow faster, carry larger stocks, en-
pLy more clerks, and in this way
would contribute to the COW enience
pf every resident, and add to TIE
prosperity of every property holder.

REASONS WHY HOME
MERCHANTS BE PATRONIZED

The following article taken from
an exchange is timely and can Well
be applied to conditions as they ex
lst in this valley.
Don't get angry but just listen
moment. Don't think because we
say go to your home merchants first
that we have no interests in you
farmers and laborers and that we
are taking sides with the merchants
against the consumers in this valley
for such is not the case. But you
know VIC all get funny sometimes and
suspicion that so and so is trying
to do us and all that sort of thing.
And while this has been pros
porous year every one is anxious that
his dollar cover multitude OF things,
and accordingly set out to locate bar
gains. Montgomery, Sears and Roc
beck National Cloak and many other
catalogues are consulted and after
reading lot of dope about the quail.
ity color, style, price, etc, a great
many make out an order and send
it off without even investigating what
the local merchants are offering, and
it very often happens that you pay
a much larser price than the article
would have cost right here at home.
Now then, if your home merchant
can sell you goods as cheap as you
can buy them from eastern mail or
der houses, why not leave your money
at home? OF course you will i'm
mediately say, They won't do it."
We reply to this, Give them =
chance before placing your order else
where. Walk into the store and state
your business and that you propose
to pay the cash, and compare the
goods and prices with mail order
house goods and prices, and see
where you get off after paying trans
portation charges. If you are not quite
satisfied, then send your big cart
wheels to Chicago and nobody has
any kick coming.
Do you know, kind reader, that the
merchants of this county are paying a
great amount of taxes this year? De-
duct this amount from the assessment
roll and add it to the balance of the
taxpayers and where do We get OF?
When the churches give an enter
tainment, who is one of the first to
buy a ticket? When you are after
subscriptions for the sick or needy,
who heads the list? When you OF
some member of your family is sick
and your pay check wont reach
around, who has given you credit?
The home merchant is the target foz
every move made for the advance
ment Of some local scheme and fol
benefit propositions. Does he often
complain?

younger element will not reach their

thinks, the war will prove to have
been an additional incentive to ply
