OUTBREAKS IN MANY SECTIONS

ROME, March 1S.-,-Advices from Bucharest state that the situation in Bulgaria which has been growing more acute.. is near the breaking point and that revolt of consider able magnitude may be expected at any moment. Il is said that he agi- tatiop against King Ferdinand and Premier Radoslavoff has acquired un- usual proportions, and demonstra- tions by women are reported from many localities. It is also reported that the soldiers sent to quell these disturbances have refused to act. and even threatened their officers.
 According to reports the people of Bulgaria are not in sympathy with the act of the government in joining forces with the Central Powers, and their dissatisfaction is heightened by the rumors circulated throughout the country that next month the entente allies, together with Roumania and Greece. will send a force into Bulga- ria to crush and enslave the Bulga- rians.

ST. PA7R|CK'S
 DANCE SUCCESS 
MOST ENJOYABLE OF SEASON
Record Breaking Attendance Marks the Entertainment in Honor of the Patron Saint of Old Ireland.

A record breaking crowd of happy go-lucky people turned out to enjoy themselves at the grand dance given last evening in honor of St. Pat rick, the patron Saint of Ireland. Green ties and green socks projected themselves with brilliant glare up- o.l the eyes of the guests, while the green dresses and ribbons f1uttering about the forms of the gentler sex were more in evidence. The commit tee consisting of T. G. Quinn andA. J. Dimond had promised that there would be several surprises during the evening and they kept tha6r pro- mise. When the fun was at its height the attention of the guests was rivet- ed upon Sergt. Kidwell who had risen to make the announcement that three prizes would be awarded as follows: First prize for the most ap- propriate dress was awarded to Mrs., Harley Sailing; the second to the pur- chaser of ticket No. 13 went to J. ID. Clark; and the third to the strongest two-stepper on the floor to Fiester Hayes. The prizes were three toy Irish potatoes full of candy. During the evening punch, as green as sham rock, was served by Edward Petrie, who also concocted it. Max Schneur contributed twelve bottles of siphon water for the punch.
 Owing to the size of the crowd the committee announced that supper would be served in relays. There was no cessation in the dancing dur ing the entire evening. The refresh ments were in charge of Mrs St. Marie.
 A large number of people from down the bay came up for the dance.
 Reinke's orchestra had been se- cured for the occasion and the excel- lent music which, they furnished ad- ded to the enjoyableness of the even- ing. Good will and cheerfulness reigned among the crowd till the last dance was over, then tired but satis- fled they made their way home in the "wee sma' hours of the morning."
 The committee rendered the fol- lowing financial account of the dance.
 Receipts. $69.O0; expenses, $76.50.
 Itemized as follows: Hall, $15, music, s2O. lunch s25, punch s12.50, sale of tickets, s2.50. printing tick etc; $50. Total s76.5O.
 Messrs. Dimond and Quinn state that they have come to the conclusion from comparison of the receipts and expenses, and remembering the small but alarming deficit, that they are not fitted to be social leaders, and therefore will abandon the fields to some more fitted by nature and train ing. But they are satisfied. Enjoy ment is worth much. particularly the enjoyment of ones friends; but there will be no repetition, and the field is open once more. They desire to ex- press their thanks to the many who assisted 50 enthusiastically to make the dance a success.
 Messrs. Brown and Christianson for the Moose assisted very greatly in making the dispositions.

Governor Henderson has Endorsed a
statewide sweet potato day, and will is
sue a formal proclamation setting aside
such day, as soon as request is made of
him, according to information received
from Montgomery.
While concurring heartily in the senti-

condition which makes it necessary to
observe such a day that the people of the
state may cultivate an appetite for this
toothsome, home raised product.

IF the establishment of a sweet potato

necessity for cultivating an appetite for
