From the pearls of laughter coming from the Elks theater this week, a pelson passing on the street could tell that "A Par of Sizes" now being produced by the Theodore Lorch com pany. is going over with a telling punch. After the detective story of Under Cover" and the gruesome "Dr Jeyldl and Mir. Hyde" "A Pair of Sizes" the funiest comedy in sthe world came as a welcome relief. there is ginger. pep and action from start to finish and each member of the cast handles these tricky parts like real artists.
 If you are troubled with a grouch or the blues, or that tired feeling take trip to the lllks and the Lorch company this week, will dispell any such feelings and send you out of that thcater chuckling and happy.

He said the legislature of last year cost $170,000, and that he had insisted upon levying but $50,0O0 for 1917 and if he is elected governor he will see that the session adjourns when this amount is spent. He said there were 570 mI,uyes of the state and he offered to read the names If anyone had missed anyone from Buck eye and did not know where they were. There are nearly seventy livestock in- spectors, he said, and he proposed if elected to take this out of politics and leave the appointments to the stock men and none of Tom Campbells per sonal henchmen would be put on the job to work for him. Fifty thousand dollars a month, he said, was the state payroll-$600 900 q year. He showed the cost of the different departments and said he proposed to consolidate some of the work and cut down the cost over $l50,000 a year by this means
 He dwelt at length on mine taxation and said that during his term of two years one hundred million dollars of mine valuations had been added to the tax rolls in the state. He criticised Charles Howe democratic candidate

 MT.
