A Good Piece Well Presented.

A dainty musical offering, THE Only
Girl, and incidentally one OF the smost
savory pieces of its kind to appear on
the local boards in several seasons,
pleased large audience in the Barre
opera house last evening. Finely
wrought lyrics and clever dialogue inter
polations, together with splendidly
capable producing company combined to
make the presentation emphatically one
of the better than the average merit.
There is nothing intricate in the charm
ing little theme that holds the piece to-
gether, but there is plenty of latitude
for some very clever acting as well as
singing numbers and the company sent
out by Joe Weber after many nights at
the Lyric theatre in New York is max
ing the most of its opportunities. Such
numbers as when You're Away" "Be
Happy, Boys, Tonight" Personality"
Heres to the Land We Love, Boys"
and when Your Ankle Wears the Ball
and Chain" not TO mention others of
much intrinsic worth, were sung with
verve and in good voice.
But the chief charm of "The Only Girl"
lies in its warm appeal to those who
have predictions for wholesome comedy
and spirited music. The book is by
Henry Blossom and the music by Victor
Herbert. Which is saying quite enough
for the piece William Naughton, Harry
Richard Thompson and Will
liam Lennox, four bachelors, the latter
with a gift for very rich Scotticisms,
Ruth Thorp as 1.-THE Only Girl" Miriam |
Carson as Patsy and Theodore Kerwald 1

,ast and of the others the same may be
said in equal truth.

VIGOROUS ENGLISH
CONCERNING SALOONS
Convict Editor Expresses Views
on Booze.

Columbus, o. (Special) i For a
number Of years a weekly newspaper
has been published in the Ohio peni-
Tertiary. A new editor is now on the
job, as the old one had served his
term and is out. Some one asked the
new editor for an expression on the
saloon, and here is an extract from
his reply:
"Is the victim Of the rattlesnake's
venom in favor of the rattlesnake.
Is the poor devil whose home, loved
ones, and worldly possessions have
been swept away by the devastating
tornado very much in favor Of the tor
nado? We should think not. That is
exactly our attitude with reference to
the saloon. 1t has been the curse or
our existence. If it were not for the
saloon, the chances are we would not
be here. Some day the taxpayers Of
Qnio will wake up to the immense
burden of taxation imposed on them
by the liquor traffic. They will then
do away with the awful curse. II peo-
pie are sincere in wishing protection
from crime, and If they are sincere in
wishing to save young men from be-
coming criminals, the quickest way
they can get these things is to abolish
the saloon"

Drafts feel better when we are
hot and perspiring, just when
they are most dangerous and the
result is Neuralgia, Stiff Neck,
Sore Muscles or sometimes an at

cases apply Sloan's Liniment. It
stimulates circulation to the sore
and painful part. The blood flows
freely AID in a short time the
stiffness and pain leaves. Those
suffering from Neuralgia Head
ache will find one or two applica-
tions of Sloan's Liniment will
give grateful relief. The age

ton intended for the man now prom,
inently mentioned as Republican nom
inee for the Presidency.
1t is exceedingly difficult to get Sen
ator Weeks to talk about himself. 1t
is only through gathering up details
in casual conversation that one can
piece together the course of his career
from farmer boy to U. s. Senator.
There is nothing in the least un-
usual in my life" declares Senator
Weeks. 1T is merely the normal life
of a man who has had to work, and
who has worked, to be sure, with a fair
measure of success"
When Senator Weeks was Is years
old, working on the farm and attend
ing terms of school at Lancaster Acad
emy as the opportunity presented, 1t
happened that a teacher was needed
at a small district school where the
farmer boy pupils had developed the
habit Of throwing the teacher out OF
school with great regularity. Even at
this age, John Weeks was man-sized.
Recognizing his physical attributes
more than measuring his intellectual
ability, the chairman Of the school com
mittee offered young Weeks the place,
saying ''If you can lick them, John,
you can keep school" John Weeks
kept school, but he had other assets
besides physical proportions. He was
even tempered, warm hearted. tactful,
strong. These same qualities, which en-
abled him to rule the little red school
house without the rod, have since won
for him leadership honors in business
and in national affairs.
The spring following young Weeks
apprenticeship as school teacher, the
Congregational minister of the town,
Rev. Charles E. Harrington, recogniz.
ing promise in the boy who could man
age the unruly farmer lads of the dis
trict school, asked John Weeks if he
would not like an appointment to the
Naval Academy at Annapolis.
This was a brand lew idea for young
Weeks and met with little favor with
in the family circle. Weeks had college
ambitions, but he had leve thought OF
following the life d the sea. However
the more be thoughtof It the more at

Larger Deposits.

Larger postal savings deposits
will now be accepted at the post
office. This is made possible by
an important amendment to the
Postal Savings Actjust approved
by President Wilson. "A postal
savings depositor may now have
an account amounting to $1,000
upon which interest will be paid.
Formerly $500 was the maximum
amount he could have to his cred
it. This enlargement of postal
savings facilities will be very
gratifying to thousands of depos-
itors who have already reached
the old $500 limit and are anx-
ious to entrust more of their say
ings to Uncle Sam. Another fea-
ture of the amendment that will
avoid further embarrassment to
the public and to postal officials
is the doing away wiGh the limit
on the amount that could be ac-
cepted from adepositor monthly.
Under the old law only $1O0 could
be deposited.in a.calendar month.
The amendment abOlishes this re-
striction. While the Postal Saw
ings System has already proved a
signal success as is shown by the
fact that more than half a million
depositors have over eighty mil
lion dollars standing to their cred
it, still it has fallen short of meet

lie because of the restrictions
which have now been eliminated.

INTERESTING FACTS
FROM DRY FINDLAY
Better and More Prosperous
Without Saloons.

Findlay, O.-(Special)- The people
of Findlay believe they have the dri-
est city in Ohio, and also believe it
to be as prosperous as any city Of its
size, wet or dry, in the state The
city has been without saloons for
more than seven years. Notwithstand-
ing it has been without saloon rev.
enue for this period, it mas the lowest
tax rate of any city in Ohio.
Last year Findlay paved twelve

year fifteen streets will be paved at
an estimated expense Of $3.50 900. For
the year ending March 81, 1916. build.
Ing permits were issued totallng
$445,000. The receipts of the Findlay
postoffice increased $4,000 the past
year over the year previous.
The difference in the moral tone
of Findlay may be noted by a com
parison Of the police records now
with the records of twenty-five years
ago. Last year there were 324 ar.
rests in Findlay, while in 1890 the
number was ,644. In March of this
year the number OF arrests for all
causes was 10. In March twenty-five
years ago the number was 147.
The dry vote in the city has in
creased through the years. In 1908
and 1911, when the county voted dry
under county option, the city of Find
lay returned a wet majority. In the
statewide campaign of 1914 the city
gave a dry majority of 1877 Follow

Senator Norris of Nebraska, a
Progressive but in the ranks Of
the Republican party, gave an a.
musing account of the Democra-
tic record on the Panama tolls
question, a, few days ago.. He
recalled the, fact that ever since
the question first came up he ad-
vocated charging American ships
the same tolls as ships of other
nations. Democratic editors de-
nounced him as a railroad sena-
tori and pointed to President
Wilson'S campaign speech advo-
eating free tolls. When Wilson
changed his attitude on the ques-
tion. the Democratic members
changed their votes, the Demo-
cratic editors became advocates
of the very policy Norris had
been pursuing, but they failed to
commend him.
