Acceding to several requests made
by persons who witnessed the film,
For the Freedom of the World, "
and to satisfy others who did not see
this wonderful production, the man
agement of the Imperial theater an
nounces that they will exhibit a re-
turn date of that great war drama.
The date of the next exhibit is not
announced yet, but will appear in the
regular program space. The story is
one of strong dramatic interest, in
tense personal situations and of ire
mendous patriotic appeal. 1t is real
ly one of the few really big spectac-
ular shows.
His co-workers at the courthouse
last night gave County Treasurer Ed
Hyland a fond and fearful farewell
with a feed and shower, before his
wedding, which takes place tomorrow
in the marriage of him and Miss
Pearl Hexom. They had a supper
served in the office of Supt. Alice
Rippe-of how many ourse besides
the baked beans and coffee deponent
sayeth not. Then they conferred up
on him a shower of household arti-
[ cles-a rattle, a diminutive bed, a
toy highchair, a little boiler, and as
they say, many other beautiful and
useful articles"
! Postmaster Lowe said this morn
: ing that, with only five more days be-
fore Christmas, the volume of mail
/, and packages falls far short of that
of the two previous years. He gives
ii as his opinion that the Christmas
rush will be small as compared with
{ that of former years. Last year it
was necessary to obtain a horse de-
livery for the packages for the week
preceding the holiday. and the work
was not completed until the day fol-
!. lowing. Packages to the soldiers,
= both in the camps of this country
and to those in France were mailed
early, and they are out of the way.
The coalition now indicates to Mr..
Lowe that there will not be anywhere
the amount of Christmas mail to han
die this year hat there formerly has
been.
The Commercial club has an owl
auxiliary organization known among
the members as the Midnight Booster
club, composed of those homeless
members who stay up o. nights as
\ long as there is a man in town awake
long enough to play cards with them.
Another vagrant joined the club late
ly, receiving an honorary membership
without fees or dues-a dog of the
spaniel type, G. A. Trimmer tells us.
He came unannounced, from no.
where, and was hailed as one of the
most intelligent of the exclusive set,
and promptly initiated. He was at
once raised to the presidency of the
club. But today he failed to appear,
and it is feared that he has gone the
way he came, and that they will see
him no more.
Government Superintendent Frank
Moore said today that the new post
office would not be completed before
the 18th of February. While nearly
all the material is here, there is con-
siderable work to be done. The mill
work is delivered, and the marble for
the wainscoting, but the man to
place it is not arrived yet. There is
still some plumbing material needed
to finish that work. After the wood
and metal work is finished the paint
ing must be done. An order has
gone in for the cases of lock boxes,
and they will be here in. time, Mr..
Moore says. The force has moved
into the new building at Redfield, he
said, though there was still some
