COVER THERE.'

The musical medley by the above
title was presented to large mouse
last night at the Dixie theatre and met
with general favor.
While we take issue about it being
a minstrel show, the only part that
could place it in that category, is the
lady orchestra, which was specially
good, we want it understood that the
show was none the less amusing-not
dull moment during the two hours
entertain ment.
Billy Clifford, is an old hand at
keeping his audience employed with
| both hands and throat, he being nat
urally funny and worthy representa-
tive of any of George Cohen produc-
tons, his song cover there' being rem
dered with gusto, and effectively.
Frankie Harris takes off the negro
hotel porter in an inimitable manner
and shows himself as born coined
ian. There is nothing too good to be
said of his work. He is scream IN
himself and well worth the reserve
seat price.
Miss Mae Collins, the leading lady,
is a winsome little red headed body
who sings sweetly, carries hersel1
iauntily, and generally is very attrac
tive on the stage.
The rest of the company fills in very
well an amusing entr 'acte being tht
slight of hand revelations OF Eddl'
, HOGAN. nor must we forget the yer,
beautiful statuettes Of patriotic fg
ures.
| Onite number of new songs wer
sung-some for the first time Tor
Scotland Neck audience, and there wa
a general swing Of musical comed
! that pleased everyone, and especlall
{ satisfactory was the absence OF tn
lewd and vulgar.
Because Of this, and an open dat
land the satisfactory attendance la'
( night made Billy Clifford determ11
to return tomorrow night and give a.
: other performance, which Will nay
~ some changes in songs and prooao
!, other makeup.

Electric Lights.
The state fuel administrator is
charged with seeing that the ruling
about the use of coal for electric signs
is enforced. This went into effect No.
vember 10. Under its provisions big
signs can be operated only between the
hours of 7:45 and 11:00 p. M, with GER
tain exceptions where they are SIM
;.ly to locate certain mercantile houses
or places or to specify the attractions
at theatres. The national food ad.

the state fuel administrators.

any concern about shortage of coal in

arce of B. H. Hiner, of Franklin, in a

istrator. in which he accepts the ap-
pointment as chairman of the local fuel
committee of that county.
There is not single coal fire in Pen.

Pooling Coke Output.
The coal and coke operators OF indie.
pendent producers In the Connellsville

Gus ways have been pointed out at

which the movement Of cars could be

he the only real way to meet the issue.
Unless there should be an early I'm.

There Are Fifty.seven Ways.
Avoid overlooking.
Avoid reconsignments.
Do not load to enlarged points.
Unload promptly all inbound cars.
Avoid shipping through congesten
yards.
Make out cards plainly and tack on
cars securely.
Do not request tracers except in very
urgent cases.
Donot order more cars than you can

In shipping several cars to one point
lave them all together.
Furnish information promptly to
