treat OF the season. Avery Hop
woods reputation was made by
Seven Days" and enhanced by NO
body's Widow" Fair and Warmer"
lifted it wholly beyond the reach Of
competition. Selwyn & Co. will pre-
sent this play here with an excellent
cast OF farceurs.
"For the Man She Loved" which
will be given at the Boyd today for
six nights with matinees, today, Tues
day, Wednesday, Thursday and Sat-
urday, is frankly melodrama of the
type that has found favor with the
patrons of the playhouse during sew
eral seasons past. 1t has for its proto-
types such popular plays as "On
Trial" Common Clay" and within
the Law" to name but few of the
more recent ones. AS the title indi-
Gates, the theme is based on the sac
rihces and trials OF woman for the
man she loves. In effect it is a page
out of the life story of Mary Ballard,
but in its naturalness and realness it
suggests what might reasonably hap
pen to any woman. 1t will be played
by competent players, it is promised,
and will have the benefit of complete
scenic equipment.
Louis Mann is to be the stellar at
traction at the Orpheum this week.
People who have admired Mr.. Mann

episode called Some Warriors"

Shipman i'll supplying the comedian
with the vehicle which he is to pre-

humor of Jimmie Barry in depicting
humorous country types of character
are qualities which have won for him
wide popularity. He, with Mrs.
Barry, are to present their most pop
ular sketch, The Rube." John and
Winnie Hennings will be one of the
features of the show. John is an &C.

sings songs in laughable fashion. His

Wallace Calvin introduces an egg
which has made him famous ali
over the world. His performance is
a revelation of stage magic. In
classic poses Budella Patterson, an
American girl OF sculptural proper
tons and artists model, will be an
interesting feature. Fancy club
swinging and sensational bag punch

and company. Boxing and wrestling

AN EXPLANATION
Concerning the Luncheon TO BE
Given TO the Mason County Food
Conservation Workers.

Several days ago the announcement
was made that pursuant to the order
OF the government to effect perma-
nent organization of the Food Con-
sorvation workers luncheon would
be held at the Woman's Club for all
the members Of the organization. In
dividual invitations were sent to
workers asking each of them to bring
their share for the menu. The lunch
con Is to consist of oysters, chicken
salad, saratoga potatoes and sand
wiches. 1t will be observed that this
menu with the exception of the sand
wiches fills all the requirements of
government conservation orders.
Some complaint has come to the
headquarters that the proposal Is be-
ing criticised as inconsistent with the
doctrines that the campaign has been
teaching and that the work will be
weakened by having this Get To-
gether" luncheon. A word Of explain
alton may possibly meet such criti-
cism satisfactorily.
The government has called this
meeting. 1t is visibly impossible to
hold business meeting of city and
county women at night. A full at
tendance of county workers would be
out of the question. Hence, noon is
quite reasonably the hour for the
meeting The people who come from
the county will have to have their
lunches. That which each of them
brings will not cost as much as their
lunch at home would cost. And there
will be absolutely no other expense
attached to the luncheon.
Again the menu is made up almost
entirely of things which the govern
ment places no prohibition upon. The
fact that wheat bread instead of corn
| picdu Will Dc ScTNcu 10 Ill llocll
proof and demonstration of the rea.
son why We must conserve on wheat
since the managers of the luncheon
found it would be impossible to serve
corn bread. If it is out of the ques
ton to serve corn bread at a lunch
con of two hundred people under civ
ilian conditions how can corn breat
be made and served to men on thre,
hundred mile battle line?
The idea of the lunch is in no wa!
inconsistent with the program of con
servation in that it entails no waste
no use of food stuffs which we SHOULD
conserve and since the expense /!
borne by each and every individual il
attendance.
Let us not hamper the success o
this permanent organization by un
: fair and injudicious criticism.

T0WBOAT JIM WOOD A TOTAL
WRECK

The big towboat Jim Wood, which
was badly damaged last week when
one end of its hull caught on a steel
check post on the guide wall at the
government dam just above this city,
broke in two Monday night and is
now complete wreck. The machin-
cry on the boat was badly damaged
when the boat parted and there is no
hope of saving anything of any great
value.
The boat is the property of the
Pittsburg Coal Company and was val
ued at 100000, although it could not
be replaced for much less than twice
that amount at the present price Of
materials.
