AMUSEM ENTs.
A. The Strand.

"The Lonesome Chap" the photoplay
being shown at the Strand, tells a
simple story well. It's scenic settings
in the far west are good to look on.
The story was written by Emma Ro-
chelle Williams with considerable abil-
!ty. It provides a pleasing medium for
the histrionic work of a number Of
careful actors and actresses. the prin-
cipaI parts being in the care Of House
Peters and Louise HUFF. The lonesome
chap is wealthy miner whose sweet
heart breaks her troth and his heart
by skipping of with "handsomer
man" on the eve Of the arranged mar
riage. They come to grief and silence
at the bottom OF cliff. There Is an
accident in the mine. A foreman, a
Frenchman, dies after saving others
His daughter is left for the mine own
er to care for. Lonesomeness is light
enea with laughter as the years pass
and there IS ultimate happiness, as is
the custom Of good stories and photo
plays. The fair-sized crowds that saw
It last evening liked 1t and for reason
The Bray photographs that precede
the play are more than usually inter-
esting and Instructive In showing

MURPHY BACK WITH ANsoNs.
Star outfeIder, Drafted by San Fran.
cisco. Appears in Marshalltown.

= Robert Murphy. star outfielder OF
the champions in 1915, appeared In
the Arson lineup yesterday in his old
position in center garden. Murphy
was drafted by the San Francisco Pa
cifc Coast league club last fall, but
early this spring was transferred tC
Houston, in the Texas league. At the
time Of the transfer the official bull
letia of the National Baseball Asso-
citation announced that he had been
released to Houston by Detroit This
announcement caused some surprise
here, as it was not known that De-
troit had any claim on the player As
the Pacific Coast league draft price
I is s400 and the major league draft
$500, the action led to suspicion that
Murphy had been drafted by San
Francisco for Detroit to escape full
major league draft price,
Dissatisfied with Houston, Murphy
left the club and returned to his home
in Denver Manager Boyle being APP
prised Of the facts, wrote to the Hous-
ton management, asking what DISPOSE
Houston made proposal of sale which
was not accepted. and later the local
manag ement was advised by Secretary
Farrell, Of the National Association,
that Houston asked Marshalltown to
waive on Murphy. No waiver was
necessary unless Murphy was to be
returned to the Central Association,
and the request for waiver gave
credence to the rumor that Waterloo
had obtained Murphy's services.
Marshalltown notified Secretary Far
rell that 1t would not waive and re-
auested that Murphy be sent back to
this club At the same time Murphy
notified Manager Boyle that he was
willing to return to Marshalltown. and
was asked to report.
When 1t was supposed that the
players status had been once for all
settled, another message from Score
tary Farrell was to the effect that
Houston claimed Marshalltown had
waived on the player and that club
was entitled to dispose OF him as it
saw At Meanwhile, Murphy was Ell
route to Marshalltown. He arrived
here Tuesday and was sent into the
game. Manager Boyle feeling that Mar
shalltown has clear title to the player
Marshalltown's claims are now in the
hands Of Secretary Farrell and Muir
ply will appear in the Arson lineup
until the club is notified that he must
report elsewhere.

COMMITTEE OF CITY BANK PRES
IDENTs TO HANDLE SUB.
scRlPTIoNs FROM COUNTY.
ALL COUNTRY BANKS ARE
EXPECTED TO PARTICIPATE
Subscriptions Of individuals to Be
Taken by Banks, But Ordering Of
Bonds Will BE Handled by the Com
mittee-All City Banks to Subscribe
to Liberty Loan"

AT a meeting of bankers of the city,
held this forenoon, arrangements were
made Tor united and cooperative ac-
ton regarding subscribing for liberty
loan" war bonds. Cooperation will be
sought from every bank Of the county,
in addition to the city banks, and a
committee was appointed to have
charge Of the movement. Thru this
committee it is expected that all the
orders for bonds will be placed.
The committee of which President c.
c. st. Clair. Of the First National, was
made chairman, is composed OF the
following city bank presidents: A. r.
Balch, Marshalltown State; III. j. Howe,
Fidelity Savings; w III. Arney, Iowa
Savings: and j. L. Williams, Security
Savings.
Expect All Banks to Join.
1t is the expectation of the committee
that all banks Of the county will sub
scribe for liberty loan" bonds. The
committee will solicit the country
banks to ascertain the amount each
will take. All of the city banks have
--- cay AEire' ~ IIplIl III Tie SIDScFlD-
ton, but the amount of bonds each
will order has not been determined. 1t
was suggested, but not decided, that
each hank ought to take in bonds up to
a certain proportion of its capital.
1t Is the hope Of the committee that
all subscriptions for bonds will be ma de
thru 1t to the federal reserve bank in
Chicago, from which the bonds will be
secured. But the committee has no in
tention of interfering in the relations
of any bank in taking subscriptions
from individuals,
Is Federal Reserve Plan.
The plan adopted at the meeting to
centralize the handling OF the bonds
for the whole county thru one commit
tee is one suggested to President c. c.
st. Clair by James b. McDougaI. gov
ernor Of the district federal reserve
bank OF Chicago And the suggestion
was made in order to simplify the in
surance and handling of the bonds in
each locality.
Bankers reported at the meeting that
some inquiries and even subscriptions
for liberty loan bonds were coming
from individuals It is probable that
after local banks have subscribed, and
the bonds have been issued. that the
subscriptions of individuals will be sup
piled from bonds already held by the
banks.
Bankers feel that there should be a
liberal subscription from every bank in
the county. and from many individuals,
so that Marshall county may do its
share in furnishing fhe government
with money to finance the war.
The bonds. which are to be dated
July I, will probably be issued In de-
nominations as low as $50, altho this
detail has not been determined. The
bonds will draw 3ts per cent per an
mum, interest payable July ! and Jan,
at any bank upon presentation Of the
interest bearing coupon.

SOME FACTS ABOUT
VIVA. ATTORNEYS
Two Counties in the State
Manage to Get Along
Without Any.
BY E. z. MEREDITH.

There are many opportunities for
young lawyers in West Virginia!
There are two counties in the state
which only have four lawyers. one
county with but five. two counties
having only six, two more with seven,
one with eight. and two with nine.
These figures are gathered from THE
Legislative Handbook OF 1917" just
off the press, which gives list OF
law firms IN the various counties.
Think OF it, Grant county, which
comprises 46l square miles and has
an estimated population OF $3.50, &C.
cording to THE Handbook" (and
G.SSS, according TO the estimates OF
tho census department on July /.
1910 has only four attorneys-R. "
Baker, l.. j. Forman, + l.. Judy, and
A. j. Welton, II is likely that the
nomination for prosecuting attorney
has to be taken by turns or arranged
by lot. PendletOn. still larger coun.
t, with 500 square miles. has the
same number OF lawyers-H. NJ. Cal
houn, B. II. Einer. William Mccoy
and NJ. s Hodges In that county each
lawyer would appear to have l75
square miles of territory as his share
and the deeds. mortgages and other
papers, ought to keep the quartette
of lawyers occupied Hardy county,
with 574 square miles, has but FIVE
lawyers-H. S Carr, L. Edward Chip.
ley, John j. Chipley. NJ. w. Gamble
and C. W. McCauley.
Lincoln and Morgan counties have
but six law firms, according to that
authority. One of the half n dozen
Morgan county lawyers is Mrs. G.
Mclntire Weaver, one of the two
lady lawyers listed for this state.
Monroe and Clay counties can boast
of eight, Boone also has eight firms
but one is Leftwich, Burnside and
Shaffer, making ten lawyers in all.
Putnam and Peasants counties might
organize legal baseball teams, hav-
ing nine lawyers each Putnams
nine would come from five different
towns-four from Winfield, one from
Scott Depot, another from Hurricane
and two from Buffalo and Paradise.
The Peasants nine might be styled
"The Royals for three OF them are

having 1872. Ohio comes next with
so. Marion IS third with 6S. Harri.
