ANOTHER LETTER
FROM THE EDITOR,
Writes From Buffalo. n. y. On Vari.
Gus Subjects Concerning Trip.
! On board the Steamer Eastern States.
on Lake Erie

On board the Steamer Eastern States
on Lake Erie,
Saturday night, May 20, 1916.
Dear Sentinei:-I thought when
wrote last Sunday from Kansas City
| that would have been at home before
this but our trip has consumed more
time than was first anticipated
Last Sunday afternoon our party left
Kansas City for Moberly, Mo-, dis.
tance of 80 miles, where we spent the
night, going the next morning to Kinks
vile to visit the Kirksvlle Normal
College. At this school we saw much
of the spirit and enthusiasm thBt per-
vaded the old Iuka Normal in Missis-
sippi where its able and discerning
head, Prof. H. A. Dean, sowed the
seeds and emblazoned the pathway of
the progressive spirit that distinguishes
Mississippi educationally today Here
| met Mr.. J. S. Settle. an ex-Con-
federate soldier who told me that he
was in and around Grenada several
times during the war. Tho Mr.. Settle
lives now among those who saw the
war from different viewpoint to what
he did. yet he gave me to understand
that he was not wholly satisfied with
the final result of the fratricidal strug-
gle. At kirksville the first school of
osteopathy was established and there
are some handsome buildings being
used as college by those who believe
in treating the ills of the human fam
lily by that method.
Our next stop was at Des Moines,
the capital of the great state of Iowa,
where We met the Governor and a num-
Der of other state officials
We visited the A. G. M. College at
Ames in this state. also the State Nor
NAL College at Cedar Falls. These are
both great institutions; they have many
beautifully built and handsomely equip
ped buildings and are doing a splendid |
work. The A. & NJ. College at Ames |
ranks among the great institutions of |
its kind in the United States 1t may |
some to know that the Com
mandant, the chief military officer at |
Ames, was member of Gen. Robt Z. |
Lees staff at the time Lee and Grant |
arranged for cessation of hostilities |
at AppomattoX in 1865. Our party is |
under special obligations to Messrs.
w. H. Gemmill and w. r. Boyd, the
men who do the real work of the trus-
tees of the colleges in Iowa.
Iowa's principal crop is corn; the
state doesn't raise wheat enough for
home consumption. OF course much |
hay is raised to feed the fine cattle for
which the state is noted. For dairying
purposes the Holstein, Guernsey and

and strictly up-to-date and modern

and strictly up-to-date and modern
theatre.
To do all of this it will take in addi-
tion to what has already been spent on
this work, which is in the neighborhood
of 100000, at least $40, OOO 90 more,
and Mr.. Locket is ready to proceed with
the work if he can secure 81 900. 90.
Now everyone knows that an opera
house is not paying investment in a
town the size of Grenada and it is an
undisputed fact that Mr.. Locket will
put up considerably more than anyone
else.
This money will be paid to Mr.. H. ].
Ray, as trustee, and will not be paid
out by him until work has actually be-
gun on the building, and only then for
building purposes.
Mr.. S. M. Stein, who is an expert
enced and capable theatre man, will be
the manager, and he assures the people
of Grenada that they will have the very
best attractions that can be had. Mr..
Stein is man of his word and The
Sentinel feels sure that he will not
knowingly bill something that is not
good.
This opera house is something that
Grenada has been needing for long,
long time, and there isn't the slightest
doubt but that the people of Grenada
will respond most literally and pur-
chase these tickets. No doubt the
City Council will be more than glad to
donate $25O.00 to this laudable enter
prise; the Board of Supervisors like
amount.

PLANS TO COMPLETE
OPERA HOUSE,
If Successful. Theater viii be Ready
for Next Season.

Plans are on foot and are now being
most vigorously pushed in order that
Grenada may have an Opera House
built and ready for occupancy before
the opening of the next theatre season,
which is on or about the 18th of Sep.
tember.
The plan is this: Mr.. C. E. Lockett,
the present owner of the partially
built opera house on the northwest cor
ner of the public square, is willing to
complete the building during this sum-
mer if he can secure 81, 10000 from the
people of Grenada, Grenada county and
surrounding towns. The way it is pro-
posed to secure this amount is to sell
tickets for the opening performance; it
will be necessary to sell 400 tickets at
$40. 90 each to secure this amount and
these tickets, 400, are now being offered
at this price. This opening perform
rnce will be q high class attraction and
will be one of the best shows on the
road at that time. Now out of this
81. ZOO. 90 Mr.. Lockett will have to pay
! the expense Of this performance, which
will include the cost of the show, which
will be in the neighborhood of $70O 90,
as it will be impossible to book this
show for this particular night on the
percentage basis.
Ten dollars for one seat may seem
outrageously high to any one who has
not looked at the matter from this
angle. If one were to 60 to Memphis
for a show they would certainly spend
considerably more than $40 before they
ret--ped home. Lots and lots of Gre
NADIA people attend shows in neighbor-
inc towns and it would be safe bet
that very few get out with expenses
under $40. 90. But the thing is that ev-
erv one will feel enough pride in Gre
. NADIA and her future welfare and prog
ress to want to buy one of these tick
cts.
This opera house will be an auditor
ium for the town, it will be place for
ali gatherings. 1t will enable Grenada
to 90 after the various conventions that
assemble thruout the state every, year.
1t will enable Grenada to take her
place among such towns as Laurel,
Greenwood, Jackson, Greenville ano
Clarksdale az Convention City. Take
for instance when the A. & M. College
band was here, there had to be built IL
the court house raised platform il
prder to accommodate the musicians
hen too the audience had to sit on tn
ard and uncomfortable seats in tn
ourt room. This opera house will az
pmmodate from six to seven hundre
nd fifty people. will have comfortab
pera chairs, will have main audito

DANIELS CUTPLEAFOR
men, ASSERTS BADGER
Secretary Changed Recommendation
for Addition of 1900 to Navy
Personnel. Says Witness.

That Secretary Daniels made a change
In the report of the General Navy Board
oy eliminating a recomm endation for the
addition of about 1900 men to the per-
sonnet of the navy was the substance Of
q statement made to the House Naval
Committee today by Rear Admiral Badg-
er. member of the General Board.
The admission that Secretary Daniels
had made the change In the report of the
General Board was made by Admiral
Badger as result of questions asked by
Representative Britten, Of Illinois. The
examination Of Admiral Badger was so
long drawn cut by Representative Gala
way and other little army" members
that Chairman Padset entered an objec-
ton, stating that the time was not far
distant when the hearings on the naval
bill would have to be brought to an end.
Admiral Badger was questioned con-
corning the necessity for a feet in the
Pacific. He expressed the opinion that
ultimately the United States would have
to m aintain in that quarter q force large
enough to cope with any possible enemy.
He said that II was the opinion of the
General Board that the Atlantic should
not be weakened to enlarge the force in
the Pacific

Loew's CoIumbia-Mary Pickford in
g.. sPoor Little Peppiua."

Starting sunday and continuing for the
entire week Mary Pickford will be seen
at Loew's Columbia in the biggest
photoplay in which she has ever appear
ed. Poor Little Peppina' was written
by Kate Jordon and produced by the
Famous Players Company. In striking
contrast to the little Japanese Cho-Cho-
San, of Madame Butterfly" we see Miss
Pickford as a kidnapped American girl
in a Sicilian vineyard from where she
escapes, disguised asa boy. and crosses
the ocean as a stowaway. In New York
she becomes a ''newsie," bootblack, and
employe of an opium den, and finally is
restored to her parents and becomes a
shining society belle. Portraying so
many different characters, Miss Pickford
is afforded a splendid opportunity to
prove her versatility.
