AT THE COLUMBIA.

OF the hundreds of acts that have
played the Columbia probably the best
liked of all was O'Neal and Walms-
ley, who have appeared several times
in their act they called Two Light
ming Bugs" This year, however, they
have a brand new act that is called
the Two Pikers." The act has u
people in it, mostly pretty girls who
are handsomely cOstumed, and have
the necessary talent to belong to a
high class act. Hazel Kirk, the Nell
Brinkley of Vaudeville" will appear
in one of the important roles. The Of
fering is all comedy of the O'Neal and
Walmsley type and has to do with
race track scene. The 1.-TWO Pikers"
are of course the comedians them
selves, whose lines are funny in the
extreme. Manager Blanchard read the
book of the act and thought so much
Of it that he practically had the thing
set to produce as a musical comedy.
His many shows with the Voolfolk Co.
prevented him. however What Hap
pened to Ruth" a comedy sketch that
abounds with laugh and is splendid
ly acted, will hold down second hon
ors on the new bill to be seen tomor-
row. Then there is more comedy in
the act OF Bevan and Flint, who will
sing, talk and dance in a way that
will be highly amusing. Connolly
Sisters, the two condolences, have a
new act that brings laughs TO the
muItitudes. They are talented ana
know how to wear handsome gowns
that always appeal TO the women. An
animal act OF the unusual kind will

SOLDIER DECLARES
HE IS NOT DESERTER

Private William ]. Gary Of Battery 3,
Davenport, is in hard straits. Here
are three OF the elements that seem to
be working against him: His half
brother, James Collins, OF fire station
No +, Davenport, refuses to have any
thing 70 do with him, because he says
Gary has deserted the battery at
brownsville, Texas; Gary's wife is Sc
rlOusly i'll, Gary's ears are affected
by deafness. Private Gary of Battery
B is back in Davenport. Some prefer
TO call him a deserter With tears in
his eyes Gary asked leave to tell his
story. Some OF my relatives believe
me a deserter," said Gary. While at
Brownsville l was unable 10 hear the
orders Of the officers and was given
three examinations before I went be
fore a board of higher army examiners
to have my hearing tested.
Major Fife of the base hospital at
Brownsville told me that l would prob
ably receive my discharge. Then l
learned that my wife here in Daven-
port was sick told officers about it.
She was seriously ILL., Major Fife and
other officers told me that as soon as a
telegram came, announcing the illness
of my wife, l could return to Dayen-
port.
We'll. the telegram came and with
out thinking. l merely walked away
from camp and came home. l was I'M
der the impression that l did not have
10 report before taking leave. l had
the majors word for it.
Twice a day, I am reporting to the
army recruiting officer in Davenport.
I see him at o'clock in the morning
and at ; O'Clock in the afternoon. He
believes that | may have to return to
Brownsville TO serve out my time and
receive a discharge.
ITO be called a deserter is more
than ! can stand. My hearing is i'm
paired but l am far from being a dis
loyal citizen and I want to place my
self in the right light before my friends
and everyone else"
Gary and his wife live at PA Iowa
street. He left with Battery B for the
border some weeks ago.
Corpora! West B. Hutchens in charge
of the Davenport recruiting station,
says that technically Gary is a de
serter 4 have received no orders to
place him under arrest, however, said

THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET.

Bnrleigh county's interests demand
the best type Of representation at
the next session OF the Legislature.
Men who have been. tried are needed
This is no time for the voters to eX-
pertinent.
Colonel C. B. Little, candidate for
the senate, is a Legislator of expert
ence. His loyalty to this county, the
city and the entire Slope district is
too we'll known to need elaboration.
Mr.. Little entered the contest only
after large majority Of the taXpay-
ers of this county petitioned him to
make the run. Since statehood, Col.
Little has repr esented Burleigh coun-
ty in the senate with the exception
of two terms. No man has done more
to assist in the development of this
section. He has been active in Sc
curing capital and his own means
have been invested for the promo
ton of Brrleigh county.
This county should select a senator
whose presence there will give pres
tige to our legislative demands. If a
new and untried man is selected, it
mears that Burleigh county is virtu-
ally without representation for one
term. 1t takes that long to learn the
various legislative moves. Col. Lit
ties nomination insures protection
for this county's interests from the
first.
G. T.. Young. Bismarck attorney;
"A. N. Blexrud, Regan, we'll known
farmer, and John Holman, success
full business man, comprise the House
ticket. Every interest is here repre-
sente d, professional, city business in

terests and the farmer. 1t would be a
well balanced delegation
Mr.. Youngs service in the attorney
generals Office several years ago
gives him a special qualification for
the support of Burleigh county RepuA-
Leans. AS in the case of Mr.. Holman
and Mr.. BeXrud, Mr.. Young consent
ed to enter the race only upon the
insistence Of his friends and those
who realize that this is critical time
for Burleigh county and that men
tried and true must be pressed int,
service.
Mr.. BleXrud is farmer and has
made Il study of the agricultural
needs of his fellow workers. He has
been prominent in The various farm
ers' movements. His past record is 4
sufficient guarantee that reforms for
the economic betlerment of the farm
ers will be heartily supported.
In John Holman, BurIeigh county
will have a representative who has
served acceptably for two terms in
the lower house. His acqua ;ntance
and prestige with the legislative
leaders, many of whom will return to
the 1917 session, are considerations
not to be overlooked.
1t is urgent that the voters of this
county stand behind these men, None
of them has any axe to grind. They
enter the race at a great personal
sacrifice.
Be sure and cast your vote for Lit
tie, Young, Blexrud and Homaa a. the
