FATTY ARBUCKLE
 APPEARS AT STRAND

A comedy chock full of action and Imaginable incidents is "The Sheriff." in which Fatty Arbuckle Is appearing at the Strand theatre today. When the sheriff invades the Mexican town he climbs church steeple to dizzy height and holds his antagonists at bay in real reel fashion. He climbs balconies like simian and makes love under circum- stances that would dismay most wooers not inspired by the examples of motion
 picture heroes.
 With the Arbuckle comedy Is being
 shown the famous Drury Lane melo-
 drama, Sporting Life.'' and 1t would be
 hard to find two more enjoyable fea-
 lures for a programme together.

Not only does he believe he would violate the spirit of the law, but it is his opinion, after carefully read ing the section. signing of the salary ineIease bill for both sheriffs and the governor would be an infraction of the leal meaning of tho section
 QUOTES SECTION
 Section PSI follows:
 The salary, fees or compensation of any officer holding any civil office of profit under the state or any county or municipality thereof, shall not be in creased or diminished during the term for which he shall have been elected or appointed"
 The first effort to increase the sal ary of the chief executive was made the first week of the session of the legislature in 1911. A bill was passed increasing the governors salary to S7500, the idea being that Governor O'Neal, who would take office 8 week later, would receive the increase. Gov ernor Conner declined to sign the bill, but left it on MT. ONeaFs desk Gov ernor O'Neal signed it and it became a law, but the constitution prohibited him from receiving an increase which became effective during his term.
 SALARY REDUCED

greater salary. However, the legisla- ture serving during his term passed a law reducing the salary again to S5O0o. Governor Henderson declined to sig the bill but allowed it to become a
 law by the expiration of time. It could not affect him because if was in violation of the constitution to change the salary of himself. How ever, 1t will be effective as a valid enactment the moment Governor kilby takes office. If the next gov ernor is to receive the increased sal ary new bill must be passed and must be signed by Governor Hender- son.
 The legislature of 1911 in effect gave Governor O'Neal the increase any way by making an appropriation of $500 for the maintenance of the governors man. sion. This bill, passed for the purpose only Of giving the governor additional salary. did not require an temized ac- count of funds drawn-and for what pur- pose-from the account Tho legislature of 1915 repealed the mansion mainte- nance bill because it did not desire to give MT Henderson a salary of s75oo and s25o0 additional to maintain the man Sion

NEXT STEP UNKNOWN

Governor Kilbys legislature may also pass a mansion maintenance bill, thus giving the governor the salary drawn by ONeal and Henderson. Whether this will be done when Governor Henderson refuses to sign the bill is not known
 In conference with committee, named by sheriffs from half of the counties more than week ago, Governor Hen derson Is said to have made it quite clear he would not approve an increase in salary for each incoming sheriff. In this case also he believes he would be violating the spirit and letter of the law.

Reasonable prices, though not so low

This control will be effected through
voluntary agreements the binder Irvine
makers have made with the food ad-
ministration which will centralize the
buying and eliminate competition.

Minnesota state penitentiary, where
he built the largest binder Irvine man

An official announcement today says
the food administrations arrange
ments will stabilize prices, prevent I'M.
due advances, eliminate waste, specu.
lation and boarding, and give the pro-
duct to the ultimate consumer at the
lowest possible price.
1t gives warning, however, that high.
er cost of materials and reasonable
for manufacturing will
not permit the price to be as low as in
former years.

With the American Army in France,
Sunday, Jan. 6.-Masses for both
American and French dead were said
in the churches Of France today on
the occasion of the national celebra-
ton of the birthday of Joan of Arc.
At her birth place, the little village OF
Domremy, many pilgrims who had
come miles to worship at the little
church where Frances saint was bap-
tised were unable to gain entrance
during the services and knelt in the
snow while mass was being celebrated.
Within the church, American and
French flags were draped over the
altar where Joan Of Arc worshipped.
Pilgrims and some newspaper cor
respondents who had travelled a long
distance in order to be present, were
received by the local priests at the
conclusion of the ceremonies at
which a battalion of French troops
assisted.
