After Few Hours Work of
Artist of the Razor.

La Crosse-The annual spring
cleanup has occurred at the village
of Dakota, ten miles north of here
The improvement in the appearances
of the village is said to have been
marked.
Two months ago the village barber
closed up his shop and left for other
parts Since then Dakota has been
without an artist of the razor and
scissors. Social functions began to be
given up. 1t was at least ten miles
to shop in any direction and the
residents soon broke into the Charles
Evans Hughes club.
Then the Dakota Business Mems as
ISOLATION advertised for barber. FTe&
rent and other inducements were OF
fered. At last much sought work
man appeared, opened a shop and ne-
gan to do rushing business at once
It took only few hours before there
was, so to speak, new face on the
town. The volunteer firemen's bait
has been set forward a week and sew
eral of the village youths are taking
the preliminary degrees to qualify ass
June bridegrooms.

ton ana great corporations OF the cOun-
try. 1t has put it's creed into it's
deeds, and all really effective laws
regulating the railroads and the great
Industrial corporations are the work
of Republican congresses and presi-
dents. For this policy of regulation
and supervision the Democrats, in a
stumbling and piecemeal way, are un-
dertaking to involve the government
in business which should be left with
in the sphere Of private enterprise
and in direct competition with its own
citizens, policy which is sure to re-
suit in waste, great expense to the
taxpayer, and in an inferior product.
The Republican party firmly be-
lieves that all who violate the laws in
regulation of business should be in
dividually punished, but prosecution
is very different from persecution, and
business success, no matter how hon
estly attained, is apparently regarded
by the Democratic party as in itself
a crime. Such doctrines and beliefs
choke enterprise and stifle prosperity.
The Republican party believes in en-
couraging American business, as it be-
lieves in and will seek to advance all
American interests.
We favor an effective system of
rural credits as opposed to the inef
fective law proposed by the present
Democratic administration.
We favor the extension Of the rural
free delivery system and condemn the
Democratic administration for curtail-
ing and gripping it.

All doubt Concerning The future al
filiations of Mary Pickford has been
dispelled. This foremost star Of film
dom has rejected the greatest offers
that have ever been rendered to any
actress in the history Of the stage or
the screen, deciding to remain with
the Famous Players Film Company,
the first feature organization with
which she. was identified. All Of her
pictures will continue to be released
through the Paramount Pictures Cor
poration, whose appeal to the best
class Of motion picture patrons has
been instrumental in increasing her
unparalleled reputation and popular
ity.
The new agreement into which Miss
Pickford has entered with Adolph Zu-
kor, president Of the Famous Players
Film Company, includes the formation
Of the Famous Players-Mary Pickford
company for the making Of feature
productions in which Miss Pickford
is to be starred, and in which the
star retains a half interest. 7
One year ago at the expiration OF

her contract with the Famous Players,
Miss Pickford was rlmored to be on
the point of signing contracts with
three other concerns. When her new
arrangement with the Famous Players
was finally announced and 1t was
learned that she would receive $104,-
900 a year, the motion picture indus
try gasped, and those who were not
in a position to know the facts re-
manned skeptical.
This year the film world was stirred
by the news that Miss Pickford had
received an offer of $4,000 per week
in recognition Of her position as the
greatest motion picture star. In the
face of these rumors which have since
been authenticated, the decision OF
Miss Pickford to ignore these record
breaking tenders and to remain with
the company with which she has been
associated for the last three years
is the greatest possible tribute that
the star could pay to the artistic SUI
premacy of that organization, all of
whose pictures are released through
Paramount.

Florence Lawrence has announced
hor intention OF returning TO photo
plays.
When Miss Lawrence left the Uni
versal-victor company two years ago
she went on a trip to Europe for the
purpose Of taking a long and much
needed rest. For 1t was practically
the first rest she had had In eight
years. She visited England, France
Germany, Russia. Norway. Sweden
Denmark, afterwards going to Egypt
India and the far East. Finding that
travelling offered her about as many
opportunities for resting as an adj
vance man for circus has, she re-
turned to her largo estate near West
wood, n. j., and since then has spent
most Of her time in experimenting
her fruit trees, rose gardens and
great asparagus beds.
But she found herself growing rest
less, and pining for she knew not
what. When, one day. she received
a letter from President Laemmle, Of
the Universal Film Manufacturing
Company, she suddenly realized thai
what she actually wanted was to gel
back to work. Very soon she was
discussing contracts with her old en-
ployer, and when she left him, she
carried with her the best contract she
had ever signed. and one Of which any
star might envy her the possession.
The first production in which Miss
Lawrence will appear is a screen adap-
ton Of Marie Corelli's famous novel,
"Thelma."
