contracts were made between 2?is and
30 cents pound. Later positions sold
between % and 20 cents. Resale lots
were taken up by dealers at about 4.
cent pound less than the prices paid by
consumers to large producing interests.
Several large inquiries from France
had the effect of strengthening the
market for third quarter shipment. In
this connection IL Is interesting to note
that during the frs, quarter Of the year
less than 1900 tons OF copper were
shipped To Great Britain. whereas the
single purchase made by the English
Government called for tho shipment OF
5000 tons month during January
February and March.

THE QUEEN OF BELGIUM
THANKS DAWSON LADIES
BELGIAN DAY IN DAWSON NETS
NEAT SUM FOR THE WAR
TORN COUNTRY.

In response to request to observe
April 8th as Belgian Flag Day the
two D. A. r. chapters of Dawson
have collected and sent to the Bel
gian relief commission $31.39 The
following is d cablegram from the
queen of the Belgns expressing her
thanks to each one who contributed
to this worthy cause:
ITO the National Society of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton: | am delighted with your idea
of commemorating April 8 through
out the United States. Nothing could
touch me more than to see the kings,
my husbands birthday celebrated by
a manifestation of charity through
the distribution of ten million Bel
gian flags in return for an offering
for the destitute in Belgium. l eX-
press my grateful appreciation to the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton for this attention, which shows
once more the generous and delicate
feelings of American women. To all
who will wear the Belgian flags on
April 8th and 9th l send, in the name
of the Belgian mothers, my heartfelt
thanks. ELIZABETH"

TO nav 1 } cents admission, and to
them we suggest that they do not
come so often, but pick the shows
they want to see and see them. They
will be better pleased to see two of
the modern Palace programs than
three of the old kind, and the price
is the same. Then, again, we have
made the matinees 3 and 10 cents,
SO you can see these pictures at saw
ing by attending in the afternoon.
Beginning tonight we will only
charge ) cents for these big pictures
for children. This is done because
the child does not appreciate these
pictures like grOwn-ups, and we make
the price so they can afford to attend.
Bring your children to see these pict-
ures, and cultivate in them the ap-
probation of only the best. 1t will
be worth a lot in later life.
We are glad to note that the ma
iority of the people of Dawson appre-
ciate the best in spite of some severe
criticisms that we have had against
the quality picture by few who OBJ
jected to the price. We note that
most of them have found that they
we're mistaken, and that they are be-

We learn this by our attendance,

RUSSELL, BALDWIN, HILL
AND LOWREY WINNERS
OLD BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
REELECTED WITH WILLIAMS
CLOSE BEHIND LANG.

j. o. Russell for tax collector, Err
nest Baldwin for tax receiver, A. j.
Hill for treasurer, ]. w. f. Lowrey
for county school superintendent, and
J. C. Hollingsworth, J. A. Hitler and
| NJ. ID. Laing for county commission
ers were winners in Wednesdays
primary.
While there was much interest on
the part of the candidates and their
friends the election was quiet, and
much Vestpocket voting was done,
which made successful prediction as
to the result almost impossible, and
all the candidates faces were wreath
ed in smiles of confidence throughout
the day until about O'Clock, when
grapevine reports from the country
precincts began to filter in. Some
of the out-of-town precincts held the
returns until the polls at Dawson
were closed, and no one knew who
led in the country until late in the
afternoon.
There were 1926 of the 1900 reg
istered votes polled. There were 524
votes polled at Dawson, 1874 at
Brentwood, 1913 at Parrot, 103 at
Sasser. 164 in the Twelfth, 8 i'll the
Old Eleventh. 13 in the New Elev~
enth, 81 at Herod and rs at Do
verel
There were several surprises in the
results which upset the predictions
of some of the political prophets.
Russell for tax collector carried six
of the precincts, receiving total of
SIP, while Cleve Gammage, his clos
est competitor, received 365 and w.
P NaswOrth 34S.
Baldwin for tax receiver also car
ried six precincts with a total vote OF
625 against 447 for McClung, who
was second in the race. Davis re-
ceived 207 votes.
The race for county treasurer was
hotly contested and interesting. Hill,
the winner, carried four precincts and
tied Cooke in one, receiving a total
vote of 5O4. while Cooke received
410 and Bell received 375.
There was much interest in the
race for county school superintend-
ent among the friends of the two can
didates. and for several days prior
to the election there was much specu-
lation as to the outcome. Lowrey,
however, was an easy winner, with a
total vote of 90S to 383 for Jones.
Lowrey carried every precinct in the
county except PARROT, the vote there
being 78 for Jones and AZ for Low
rey. Lowrey came to town leading
Jones 242 votes, receiving in the pre-
cincts outside of Dawson sos votes to
264 for Jones. Lowrey polled 402
votes in Dawson and Jones polled
119.
Hollingsworth, Hitler and Laing,
members of the present board of
county commissioners, were re-elect-
ed, with Williams running Laing
close race, Laing winning by only
thirteen votes.

Entertained Sunday School Glass.

Miss Annie Bess Cutler entertained
her Sunday school class of young
boys Friday evening in the Methodist
church annex. Music and games were
enjoyed. and a sweet course was
served. The affair, though verv
pleasant had a tinge of sadness, as it
was really a farewell party, as Miss
Cutler will leave in a few days for
California. Each member of the class
was allowed to invite the girl of his
choice, and the two dozen young peo-
pie made the most of the occasion.

higher price because he knows them

higher price because he knows them
to be good.
The same argument is true with
pleasure. There are cheap pleasures,
there are better pleasures. A man
who pays the smallest amount to see
a SHOW generally sees a show worth
less than he paid. There are picture
theatres that show for a nickel, shows
that charge q dime, and shows that
charge Is cents, and shows that
charge more. With each there is a
different quality Of entertainment.
Each advance in price means better
production. OF course there are peo-
pie who will like each show, but the
general opinion is leaning toward the
best The better the show the better
the crowd People like to go to
picture show with reputation,
where they know they will always see
their moneys worth. They will pay
for this guarantee because it is worth
it. Compare the old programs at the
Palace. You paid a dime and took
chance Of seeing anything. You did
not know what was coming, and 1t
was not much when you saw it. LOOK
at the program today. You pay 10
cents to see it, but look what you
see. A week in advance the Dawson
News prints the programs at the Pal
ace. 50 you can select Just what you
want to see. You will find a good
assortmento f amusement-the bsst
comedies. the best dramas, and the
best atcors that appear on the screen.
When you see Mary Pickford, Dustin
Farnum. Chas Chaplin, Marguerite
Clarke. Pauline Frederick, Geraldine
Farrar and stars like these you are
guaranteed attractions of excellence
When you see pictures like the Vir-
ginian, The Song of the Cross. Old
Dutch. Eternal City, The Founding,
The Dollar Mark, and the like, you
see the best that brains and money
can make. People are glad to pay
advanced prices to see these pictures

QUALITY SERVICE.

Quality is the first thing that the
average man asks for when he makes
a purchase. Is it good? Is it worth
the price? Will it last? These are the
three questions that are always be-
fore him. He knows that there are
shoes that sell for $50 and shoes
that sell for $500. They both viii
cover his feet, but the question is,
which is the best value? That is up
to him to decide, and the average
Judgment will point to the better
quality. The same idea holds good
in foods and clothing. The purchaser
wants stomething that is good and
that is worth his money. There are
standard articles that are backed by
guarantees that make them good, and
he knows this. Therefore he will
buy these guaranteed brands at a
