 XMAS ATTRACTION
Notable Company Presents J. Hartley Manners Com edy at Jefferson Four
 Performances

At great expense there has been as- sembled a star cast to present Out There" play which has had an en- tire seasons run in Now York, and it will be offered at the Jefferson theatre Christmas day, matinee and night, and December 26, matinee and night. Shis company has for it's head not one star, but five, viz Thomas w Ross, Amelia Bingham, Pauline Lord Mary Shaw and Frederick Warde. Ii will probably be a long time before such another aggregation Is gathered together and theatregoers of this com munity are fortunate indeed to be given an opportunity to witness a perform ance of this kind
 Out There" is a play that Is said to be worthy of patronage and an event of supreme importance. It will be re- called that during the recent Red Cross drive that Out There" was selected as one of the principal mediums through which the allied theatrical interests worked to raise money for the great cause. A short tour was arranged with an all-star cast that embraced only the larger cities, and in series of per formances that lasted less than three weeks nearly $750,000 was added to the funds of the Red Cross society.
 The play was written by J. Hartley Manners and during it's New York en- gagement, which was divided between the Globe and Liberty theatres, it re- ceived the unqualified praise of all the critics Its theme Is one of propaganda and "service" and as such "Out There becomes distinct addition to the lit erature of the stage.

HOVE MILL" HAS AMBITIOUS PLOT Big Jefferson Show Has Something Besides Music
 to Attract

''The Love Mill," presented by Andreas Dippel at the Forty-eighth Street the. atre, New York, and soon to appear here at the Jefferson theatre two days, Thurs day and Friday, December 27 and 2s, has rather an ambitious plot. It con- cerns the adventures of an American woman who is put to desperate straits to arrange marriages for two of her three daughters. This is due to the fact that one is exceedingly spare, while the other is alarmingly robust. A profligate Russian count injects himself into the situation, with results almost disastrous to himself and the two girls. after they have been safely married But the ad- venturess Is happily paired off with the count along about 10:30 in the evening, and the curtain descends with all happily mated.
 The book and lyrics are by Earl Car roll, who also has to his credit So Long. Letty," and Canary Cottage" The composer is Alfred Francis, oi whom nothing is known hereabouts, but advance notices give him credit for whistlable airs.
 Mr. Dippel Is highly praised for sump- tuous scenery, settings and lavish CO.'S tunes.
 The company engaged is of unusual ex- cellence with Charlotte Leslay in the lead; other genuine fun-makers are Josephine Emery. Marguerite De Von
 Mildred Warren, Lillian Daley. Lon Car ter, Edith Powers, Al Hinston, Walter
 Poulter and Al Harrison. Many special and unique dancing features are intro- duced and the chorus Is well groomed and can sing.

No Full Quarantine

The article in last weeks issue
concerning the epidemic in this
town is an unjust, unwarranted and
unnecessary attack upon the Board
of Health. If Mr.. Amey can prove
where we have not carried out the
rules and regulations, promulgated
by the State Board of Health, |
would like to have him produce it.
There is no full quarantine for
this disease, owing to its nature of
infection. If there has been any
violations of the rules it has been in
Mr.. Amey's own house. The death
rate has been low in this town COM
pared to some of our surrounding
towns.
We are working under abnormal
conditions on account of being short
of doctors and nurses. Masks have
been secured and placed gin the win
dow of the Red Front Pharmacy
for the use of any persons who could
use them long before Mr.. Amey's
article appeared.
The epidemic is raging through
out the whole country and each per-
son has his own part to perform
in checking the disease. If Mr..
Amey would boost little and stop
knocking much more could be &C.
complished.

There are many acts of kindness
shown there days to families and in
dividual stricken with the epidemic
of influenza. One of the most
stricking illustrations of human
kindness took place here when the
family of Johnnie Cahill, who lives
about five miles from the village,
was stricken with this disease. Mr..
and Mrs. Cahill, five children and
and the hired girl came down with
Influenza within two or three DAYS
of each other making the entire
family on the sick list, and there
was no one among them tosdo the
chores, take care of the dairy and
see to the harvesting of several
crops. This family did not want
however, for kind neighbors did
the chores, looked after the stock
and through the efforts of Fenton
and Bert Damon crops were harvest
ed which included $50 bushels of
oats. The family is recovering, and
Mr.. Cahill is able to be out, but for
these kind acts crops would have
gone to waste and in all probability
some of the family would not have
recovered. Money would not pay
for this help and it would not be
accepted if rendered. 1t is needless
to say the gratitude of this family
for needed help of these kind neigh
bors is boundless.

The kalser's Sons Versus the Six
Sons of Presidents.

Gifted for conspicuous bravery In
action" Enlisted as a private"
KILLED In action" Under such
headings the sons Of American for
mer presidents appear in accounts Of
the great war that has rent the
world. They were Of the first to re-
spond to the country's call and have
been conspicuous in its service. No
safe place in the rear for them!
Theirs not to say go" but come"
There are six of them, six sons Of
our former presidents, shoulder to
shoulder with the sons of you and
me, sharing with them the dangers,
the tortures, yea, the death-of the
trenches, of No-man's Land, of the
ferocity of the Huns.
And the six sons of the arch-Hun?
Where are they when danger calls?
They are brilliantly placed "in COM
mand" and then disappear from the
public eye only to reappear at some
safe vantage point or in revolving
escapade with victims of invaded
countries. Only one Of them, the
Grown Prince, has ever been re-
pol ICu Ill q DdttlS duu IuSH uCO5cu
about 80 that no harm could come to
him.
For all his dashing about the Kai-
ser himself has stayed far from the
danger zone. This self-styied CO.
partner with God takes care to sur
round himself with his legions, his air
planes and every other known de-
vice to protect him from his enemies
whenever he invokes the Divine
protection in the open field.
Just one of the imperial family
have the dispatches said anything
fine about, Duke Ernest August Of
Brunswick who married the Kaiser's
only daughter. He is reported to
have commanded some troops on the
Russian front and gone insane over
the horrors he saw there.
Bacchanalian feasts for the Hun
princes while the men suffer and die
in the trenches.
Voluntary assumption of peril and
sacrifice for Americas FIRST sons"
No honorary positions for them but
hard and dangerous service.
Shall it be the rule of the Hun or
the reign of democracy?
Verify he who loseth his life shall
find it.
