be remembered, was a bit of rather clever
verse to which we played the part of kindly
chiropodist. His feet IL we interpreted cor

now he resents our interference. He insists
that his lines should have been printed thus:

 MATERIAL FOR CAMPAIGN

COLUMBUS. Feb. 5.-W. J. Finley, chairman of the Democratic State Committee in Ohio. believes that the addresses of George Washington are lirst-rate campaign material. In let ters to members of the State commit. tee he urges that county meetings be held February % for the purpose Of making slates for state and nation al convention delegates, and that the events be surrounded with an atmos- phere of patriotism to be derived from the words of the first President.
 "At every meeting of Democrats held on this day" writes Finlay "the farewell address of General Washing ton to the American people as well as others of his state papers can be free ly quoted in support of the present position of national democracy"
 CT would suggest that each county committee that takes up with this idea secure the attendance of Q speak er at their county conventions, and request hi tom copiously quote from Washington's papers and say a word in euiogy of the character and achieve ment of the greatest man in history, the founder Of these United States"

GIRLS AND BOYS IN ANNUAL PLAY
 MAKE A BIG HlT

The Juneau High School students, who appeared at the Orpheum satur. day night in College Town swept everything before them. They took the first second and third line trenches of gloom with their comedy lines. dropped aerial bombs with their Zeppelin comedy situations and abso- luteiy made Sorrow sue for Peace. From the time the first artillery was announced all through the battle un- tH the clouds of smoke cleared away the audience. which was remarkably large witnessed moving lie pictures of every day college life. Inc ad- vance lines of offensive might be termed as under command of Miss Lovina M. Nilsson; the second line under the direction Of Prof Tender son and the third and victorious line was composed of the actors and act resses. It was a great battle night for amateur circles and the battle is- self win live long in the memory Of those who witnesses the glorious struggles
 Every one who took part In the clever itue three-act play was ex- cellent in their part. and from start Go finish things went with dash and snap which specks volumes for the training which they have received.
 Simpson McNinnon as Jimmie Cav endish. Joseph Ackled as Ted Chessl- dine. Harry Sabln as Leviticus, the colored rubber. and William Taschek as Major Kilpepper took the heavy work Of the male parts and each of them were excellent. In fact it would be hard for real professionals to im- prove on their work to any apprecia- ble extent
 Among the young ladies special mention must be made of Susanne Mclaughlin as Miss Jim Charming. Hazel Jaeger as the College Widow Margaret Dudley as "Ma." the land lady. and Mary Connor as Mrs Popp. a faculty type. Their work merits volumes of praise.
 One of the hits Of evening was the skirt dance with boys wearing the skirts put on by Wilbur Buriord, Joe Acklen. and Walno Hendrickson. They were good and were recalled by the delighted audience
 The house was packed to the roof and everyone who attended went to their homes well satisfied with the evenings entertainment. The High School Play of 1916 will undoubtedly SO down in history as the best ever produced in Juneau and most of the credit Is due to the hard work of Miss Wilson and Prof Henderson. Others who took part and whom space for bids special mention were:
 Jas. McCloskey, Carl Anderson, Walno Hendrickson, Wilbur Burford. Henry Lund. Frances Ptack, Lillian Collins. Georgia Gnpatrick. Ruth um- stead
 The play was staged in three acts and the settings were well arranged.
