IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
AT LYcEUM NEXT WEEK

An ingenious and entertaining farce
is 1T Pays to Advertise" the united
effort of Roi Cooper Megrue and Wal
ter Hackett, which will be seen at the
>Lyceum theater next week as the in
ltlal offering of the Baldwin Players
summer season. Unlike many of the.
pieces of its type, 1T Pays to Adver-
t1se' is story and an amusing one.
1t is all about the son of wealthy
soap magnate. The young man has
not found ambition necessary, but his
1atner wishes to make a man out Of
MIN, so he conspires with his secre-
tary' sprightly young lady, to win
the young mans affections, where
upon the father will assume the role
of the stern parent and turn his off,
spring from the door.
The young man happens to- be filled
with unsupported grit that needed
only the imagined opposition Of his
1ather to bring to the surface and
meeting with the publicity agent of a
detnn9E musical show, Rodney Martin
qul1p@decides to enter business and
show his father that he is indeed
chip off the old block.
Rodney, his sweetheart, who was
his fathers secretary, and his adver-
Using agent friend launch their BUSH
ness and begin operations with sem
sational advertising campaign.
Before they get first order their
funds run out and just as they are
about to quit orders begin to arrive
and with no soap and no money to
make soap they hit upon the happy
idea Of buying the product they sell
from the trust they were resolved to
beat. After series of adventures,
laughable in the extreme, the old man
becomes convinced that advertising
pays and ere the final curtain Rodney
finds himself rich, as we'll as married
to the girl he loves.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-Rep,
Lundeen of Minnesota, Rep: Nolan Of
California and Rep. Heating of Col
orado are among the members Of the
House who are most emphatic in
their demand that the food specu-

completed there will be announced a
program of government operation Of
grain elevators and packing plants
that will reduce prices to- the con-
sumers to very marked degree. A
loud howl has already been raised
by some of the more opulent senat-
ors, but the legislation will 60
through.
Special Assistant Attorney General

DRAWbR|DCE N|E|V
GET EIGHT HOURS
Ten per Cent Increase Given All
Employees of Northern
Pacific.

Drawbridge operators in the employ
of the Northern Pacific Railway
company will be given an eight-hour
day beginning July 1. This comes
after persistent efforts on the part of
the men to obtain this concession.
Rumor has it that an increase in
wages will also be granted this class
Of employees, or in lieu thereof,
bonus based on the annual earnings
of the road.
About a. year ago the draw-bridge
men petitioned the company for an
elght-hour day, but received no reply
to their petition. They have been
working II hours every day in the
week. They claimed it took from an
hour to an hour and a half each day
to go to and from work, which left
insufficient time for rest and recrea-
ton.
This year the men again petitioned
the company with the results as above
stated.
Other employees of the road, it is
said, will be given 10 per cent in
crease which will effect some $1,000
employees of the company.

Russell, Federal Fuel Administrator for Connecticut and chairman of the State Council of Defense, in an in- terview today, expressed considerable disappointment at the apparent fail- ure of the public to economize in the use of coal, particularly in regard to the heating of office buildings, thea tres, hotels. etc. He also advised ten. ants of buildings, that are heated by landlords to expect this winter a tenDerature flower by several de. grees'' than has been customary in past winters MT. Russell said:
 During the past few days the at tentjon of the Fuel Administrator has been called several times to g number of cases in various cities of Connecti- cut where theatres, hotels and office buildings have been heated far be- yond the requirements of the prevail ing outside temperature.
 .'The fact that coal is not plentiful and is not going to be plentiful this winter cannot be impressed toe strongly upon the consumer, and the attention of owners of buildings must be drawn to the imperative need oi economy in fuel consumption. Un. usual attention to this matter shoult be given at the present time both from the standpoint of self interest and ol patriotic duty.
 The general public, including ten ants of buildings that are heated b, 1 landlords, should be willing to ex Ipect this winter a temperature that ii lower by several degrees than hal been customary and should realiz' that the reduction in heating aims a [ the common good and ia not due u
