MISS JACKSON
 TALKS 'TWIXT DABS OF POWDER
Interesting New Leading Wo- man at Lyric Tells of Self
 As She Makes Up.

found Miss Suzanne Jackson in the stars dressing room of the Lyric the atre, her rabbits foot rouge puff in hand, busily making up for the first act of last nights performance of Her Own Money,
 One forgets how to make up so quickly that you have to learn all over again after a. couple of weeks rest, she said she carefully peneiled her eyebrows and. patted dabs of powder just where they should be.
 Miss Jackson, as all who have seen her know is a very charming young woman who combines personality with handsome appearance. Not the least Of her attributes is a. particularly pleasing voice full of refinement and feeling.
 .'TeH me about yourself I said, as the process of making up continued.
 About myself2 0, dear! don't in Montreal and I've been abroad for a. couple Of years where I played with Martin Harvey. I was in London during the coronation year.
 Then I've played with Girls at Daily's and also comedy parts with Nat Goodwin for couple of sea- sons
 As to her experiences in stock, Miss Jackson recalled that she had played in the Balasco theatre in Washington, in the Colonial in Cleveland, in His Majestyis, theatre in Montreal and with the Broadway players in Spring l field. She has also played in Syra- ! clse and in Rochester, N Y, where she was stricken with appendicitis in the theatre and for some days hoyered between life and death
 She completed an eight weeks en- gagement in stock sin Cleveland two weeks ago.
 By this time, with the aid of her neat colored maid. Miss Jackson had donned the pretty, wool embroidered crepe frock which she wears in the first act and was ready for the cur ] tain to rise.
 I asked her her views on the subject of which the play treats, stdnginess of | ,husb ands, the humiliation which a naturally Independent woman feels in asking for every cent which she wants 1 and the advocated certain weekly al l To vance for the wife.

 b Until new building is realized I and facilities had for other industrial I features besides the wood yard, the I people of the city must even in a
 larger measure continue to finance I the project.
 It was reported too that a large Eamount of wood is on hand, the sale
 of which will enable the Union te
 give work to more mem There is
 always need for clothing and shoes
 magazines and papers are used upon I{the tables at the Union and in the 1 work at the County jail.

 London. Jan Kitchener is SO generally credited with an iron char= aeter devoid of sentiment in matters affecting his great purpose that the following story of his thoughtfuIne is of special interest: A Sunderland woman with five sons in the army, lay dying. Her one desire was to see her boys again. and through8 the of fees of a Salvation Army officer four of the sons serving in England reach ed home within tw enty four hours, their expenses being paid by the au- thorities.
 Tho fifth son. however. was at the front and there seemed little chance of the old woman's wish being fl1l- filed but the saIvationist wired to the War office. and back came the reply over Lord Kftcheners signature say ing that if the son could be found he would be sent home Afterward came a telegram saying the man was on his way home and eventually he landed in time to see his mother. The auth critics paid his expenses and gave him seven days furlough

The most effective method of
eliminating undesirable citizens is to
ignore them. Where community
stands united there is little room for
the knocker, and little opportunity for
undesirables to cut much ice.
Any Mutt can stand back and find
else. When you hear one of these
fellows knocking ask him to en-
umerate some of the things he is doing
to improve and advance his town.
He is probably too busy finding fault
with others to show what he can do.
Tell him to get busy because talk is
cheap. by your fruits shall We be
Judged. -
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1915-07-23

How many farmers in Clearwater
county own King drag? How many
thought enough of good roads in their
home community to drag their own
roads after the recent heavy rains?
How many have bad enough interest
in their roads to spend an hour, after
the rains, repairing damaged culvert
or draining and filling mud hole ?
Suppose YOU appoint yourself COM
mittee of one to fix the roads in front
of YOUR OWN PROPERTY. Take
shovel with you on your next trip
and spend few minutes, if the roads
need little repairing. 1t will save
taxes for road improvement later.
Where community really has the
good roads spirit, and really want
good roads, the people make it their
business to drag and improve the
roads, and that at their own expense.
Make King drag and use it after
rains. 1t is the price the people must
pay for good roads.

Orofino has as large proportion of
progressive clean citizens as has any
town of its size, and just as many
honest ones. There is nothing the
matter with the town or it's people.
Whatever undesirable reputation Oro-
fino may have acquired is, the result
of the sins of the few being visited
on the many, even unto the third and
the fourth genertions. Having sud-
denly removed the cause may we not
expect peace, harmony and prosperity
commensurate with our deserts, meas
ured by the united effort the citizens
as whole put into the business of
building and developing their town
and county?
