FIRST STAGE OF FAMINE

Famine. that dread calamity that
from time immemorial has stalked
thru the various lands of history,
approaches by easy stages. Like the
vices, she annears "~~' 49, '-
and it is not until she finally draws
the curtain far enough back to dis
close the emaciated forms of the liv-
ing skeletons who are her handiwork
that we realize that we are the vic
tins of her attack.
The first evidence of the presence
of this monster in any fair land is the
rising of the price of foodstuffs to a
point where the poor must go under
fed because they cannot buy enough
wherewith to satisfy the cravings of
hunger.
Have we not, then, seen the first
stage of famine? Is this fearful
thing not now among us? Must we
ask other evidences of her presence
before we turn with every energy to
defend ourselves from the second
step, which is the bread riot, the
torch, internal warfare?
Crops" is the only answer. Crops
in every field, every garden. every lot
along every highway, everywhere
that's the answer.

ELECTRICAL WIZARD
COMING TO ORDWAY

Ford, the electric wizard, will be
in Ordway on Friday night, May II,
at the Princess theatre. Ford comes
under the auspices of the schools of
this city, and has something of inter-
est to young and old and more es-
pecially of interest at this time be-
cause of the putting to use electric
al devices of every nature in the pre-
sent world-war. Some flashes from
Ford's successes are as follows:
Perfected a telephone balance that
eliminates disturbing noises in a tele-
phone receiver.
Designed and constructed a special
electro-magnet which is used in re-
moving foreign objects from the eyes.
Invented a number of automatic
electrical advertising machines.
Invented the famous motorless
flasher.
Invented and constructed the ozone
apparatus used by the government
in it's fight against tuberculosis.
Discovered the method of making
electric of extremely high frequency.
Discovered the method of produc-
ing complex ether waves, and an in
strument. that will respond to them
and to them only. By their use he
can perfectly control, at any distance,
the movements of submarine, sur
face or aeral craft.

be secured at an earlier date, and
everything being in readiness.
Dr. Nusbaum is one of the most
able men of his chosen calling and
without doubt his work in this vici-
nifty will result in much good. He will
be remembered by a great many here
as having lecteured during the Chau-
tauqua last season and remaining
over for a sacred service on Sunday
in the Chautauqua tent.
There are several committees at
work on various tasks in preparation
for the meetings and these commit
tees have all been busy and have
made their campaign in such way
as to make it the most united laymen

county.

Senior Class
Wins Honors

School days are drawing toward
the end and certain ones of the pu-
pills fiud themselves bringing things
to a close so far as their study days
are concerned in the public schools.
This month will see the close of the
school year, the last day being May
IS. The graduating class is com
posed of eleven members as follows:
Violet Bond, Esther Brush, Gladys
Carpenter, Ruth Henderson, Floyd
Hensler, Robert Hicks, Charles John
son, John Sypher, Bonnie Walker,
Anna Waugh and Ruth Mcdowell.
The graduation duties of this class
have already commenced and one of
their program parts was the presen-
tation of the play "Esmerelda" at the
Princess Theatre on Friday evening
of last week. They presented the
play so admirably that they almost
stepped out of the amateur class in
to the professional list. The play
unusual as it pictured mother OF
an opposite turn from what mothers
generally are. but it brought out nice
ly how to deal with mother such as
Esmeralda had, and proved that true
love never runs smooth but wins
nevertheless. Each of the eleven
members of the senior roll took
part and as there were twelve char
acters to the play Charles Johnson
played a double roll.
There were five acts. and the
stage settings as arranged fitted in
admirably for each, the costumes al
so being in keeping. Dress suits and
evening gowns were displayed at
ball scene and art studios in Paris
to log cabins in the Carolinas being
arranged to picture just what they
were intended to be.
The attendance was quite large
and the proceeds from the play
amounted to nice little sum of
money.
