Exception To The Rule
Nothing But The Truth

After a solid seasons success" at
the Longacre Theater, New York city,
the comedy success Nothing But the
Truth" will make a trip to the Pac-
ific Coast, with the well known com
edian. Max Figman, in the stellar
role. and will appear at the Amer
lean Theater, Bellingham, Monda',
November 26.
+ Nessrs. Anderson and Weber, the
managers of this highly SUGGEST Il
farce could not have selected bet
ter. or more fitting actor for the dit
ficult role of Bob Bennett, than Mr..
Figman. His personality, uniquely
fits the difficult character, his unct-
ion is a gift that belongs and his
ready wit and capability makes him
+ ideal for the part.
The story deals with the ability OF
the leading character to tell the truth
for twenty-four hours, the twenty
+ four hours is up at exactly four p
M. and as the audience will laugh
more or less at its pleasure, and the
clock cannot be made to wait for the
laughs. nor hurry when the laughs
are not prolonged, il is up to the alb
ility of the actor to provide amusing
scenes and dialogue that will permit
the climax of the third act TO be on
the stroke of four.
1t sometimes keeps the others IN
the cast guessing as to when to speak
their lines and participate in the act
ion of the play for it is most unus-
nal to hear the same dialogue or see
the same action repeated by Mr.. Fig
man.

Fire Destroys Barn

Monday about p. m. the barn of
Chas. Nelson of Weston was destroyed
by fire, originating. it is supposed,
from electric wires. A large quantity
of hay was burned, but no stock were
in the building. The garage adjoining
was badly damaged but the supply Of
gasoline and oil was gotten out before
the fire reached it.
Mr.. Nelson had just left for Pendle-
ton to attend his.injured littlelson, and
going by the reservation road was not
notified of his loss until he arrived
there. Several from Athena hurried
over to assist in saving the handsome
residence nearbv, but by the use Of
chemicals and on accountof favor
able wind, it was not greatly endanger-
ed. The barn. good one, thoroughly
equipped, was uninsured.

well known former residents of this
city, lies in precarious condition
in the PendIeton hospital where he
has been unconscious for almost a

thrown from his horse and dragged for
a long distance. No fractures were
found on the head, but one arm was
cut and thumb almost severed. He
was evidently thrown against the
fence, being finally liberated from his
perilous position by bis shoe coming
off.

FIRST WASH. BATTALION
ENTRA|NS FOR n. c.

1 Fl
Tuesday evening at S:i5 Athena
population turned out to see the pass
ing of the train bearing the First
Battalion Of Washington Field Artil-
lery on its way to Camp Greene, N. C..
Main street at the depot was filled
with automobiles and many people
cheered the Soldiers as they in turn
waved hands and hats and heartily
cheered in response.
Prominent in the commissary car
door, stood Sergeant James Sturgis,
Master Of transportation, who re-
ceived an ovation from his Athena
friends. At Pendleton the train was
met by an enthusiastic crowd.
Of the departure of the Battalion
the Walla Walla Union says in part:
Amid the tears and cheers of thou
sands of friends and relatives, who
had waited patiently most of the day
to be on hand for the final farewell,
the First Battalion of Washington
Field iArtillery-the pride of Eastern
Washington-left about $50 o'clock
last evening over the Union Pacific
line for Camp Greene, Charlotte North
Carolina, where will be given further
training preparatory to being trans
ported to France and into the thick of
Uncle Sans fight for democracy and
liberty Of the world.
The leave taking was a sad one,
nearly every eye being dimmed with
tears. while scores broke down and
wept. Many gifts were taken to the
train and baggage cars were loaded
with lunches, delicacies. etc. Several
young men endeavored to join at the
last minute, but in the confusion could
not find the proper officer SO were left
behind.
The Walla Walla district gave near
ly half the battalion, third coming
from Spokane and little over half
Of Battery B from Benton and Yakima
counties. 1t makes about 700 men
that this districtvh has now turned
over to Uncle Sam and still the drain
continues.
The train which bore the battalion
from the city was the largest ever to
leave and consisted Of 3 engines and
IS cars, four baggage and l2 tourist
sleepers, and two standard pullmans.
Officers state that three stops will
be made each morning and three each
afternoon, about 8 minutes each. dur
ing which time the men will be
marched on the double quick in the
open to exercise their legs and lungs.
Stops will also be made at most all of
the terminals and more important
towns. The battalion will be quar-
tered with the Oregon national guards
men. who are already at Camp Greene,
and it is believed the Washington
national guard will also soon be there.
