PHILADELPHIA, March 9.--High
officials of the International Brother
hood Welfare association, whose dis
like for work has made them leaders
among sons OF rest are trying to
persuade Mayor Blankenburg and the
city property bureau to permit them
to establish flop house in this city
along the lines of the "Hotel De Gink''
in New York. Twenty-Five hoboes are
here now and many more are expected
to arrive via the break beams.
The "boes" are claiming to acquire
some abandoned school house and in.
stall modern apparatus similar to that
used in the De Gink emporium. A
name has already been agreed upon

Champions Of cheap farm lands tell
us that Iowa farms once sold for $40

newer countries are where Iowa farms
We're fifty years ago. Large numbers
of Iowans have believed this to their
regret. The facts are that there is no
cheap land in the whole United States.
Lands cheap in price are cheap in
value, and the still more important
fact is that there are no farm lands
anywhere on the whole equal to those

ADJUSTMENTS.

Henry Miller In Daddy Lone-Lees."
Henry Miller's newest success,
Daddy Long-Iegs," has duplicated in
the west the overwhelming triumph
it scored in New York and Chicago.
In the many years Of successful pro-
duction of plays that stand to the
credit of Mr.. Miller, he has never be-
fore offered theatre-goers a more ap-
pealins love story than this fascinat.
ing comedy from the pen Of Jean
Webster, who is niece of Mark
Twain. Readers Of the book will not
be prepared for the vivid reality,
charming naturalness and whimsical
humor of the dramatization. The
shadow story behind Judy Abbott's
letters to Daddy Long-Legs has,
through the skill Of the playwright
and the acting ability of Mr.. Miller
and his fine supporting company, been
visualized in q comedy that more
than lives Zip to fits remarkable repu-
tation. 1t is easy enough to under
STAND why the famous stage story has
been playing to capacity business in
New York all season and is still the
reigning success Of the year in the
east. There is human note and a
potent appeal in Daddy Long-Iegs"
which proves irresistible to theatre
goers. It is well worthy Of note that
the play gives Mr.. Miller one of the
most appealing characters he has
ever portrayed on the American stage.
Mr. Miller comes to the Grand opera
house Friday night, March 12.-Ad-

the vote as evidenced by the number
and frequency Of the calls into The
Gate City office last night. Although
all that was known from o'clock to
the time the count was finished at
$3.50 O'Clock was the number of votes,
this fact was eagerly grasped by the
waiting people. At $50 O'clock the
result was known.
The result seemed to meet with
satisfaction to judge from the COM
ments made when persons were in
formed by The Gate City, which as
usual in elections, was first in serv-
ing the people. At one of the public
gatherings last night the vote was
announced and was greeted with
cheers.
There was more organized effort in
getting out votes this election than
In years. Men were inside the Wash
ington school house, where the cleo
ton was being held, who had not
been at a school election for years.
There seemed to be steady stream
of voters out Blondeau and up Ninth
street most Of the afternoon. And it
was surprising the number of persons
who inquired the way to the polls.
Only one woman tried to vote, and
she was informed that women were
not permitted to vote except for a
bond Issue, a fact concerning which
much publicity had been given before
the election.

Although fight was directed
against Dunlap, he polled the largest

against Dunlap aroused his friends
and thew went to the polls. Skirvin
made an excellent run, landing with
a little ever hundred votes less than
the leader OF the ticket.
