HOW FRISCO WON HIS PLACE.

frisco. exponent Of super-jazz
dancing and the most famous
product of the Barbary Coast
School Of Terpsichore. has arrived.
After a hard road over which he
has stepped with persistent gami-
merle and grotesquerie, he and his
partner, Loretta McDermott, a Chi
cago product, are headliners at the
Keith theatres. Frisco never saw
the Barbary Coast, yet every habitue
or that picturesque outlaw land who
has seen him declares that he is the
incarnation, the essential spirit, the
living, breathing, dancing expression,
of the place. That's why George Lewis
of Dubuque, Ia. is nationally famous
as Frisco. The name is so pat that
no one, not even his kinsfolk, ever
dream of calling him anything else.
He Is Frisco-the quaint physical ex-
preston of n place and O period.
They give me the m-m-m-monaker

dancer in telling his story, "but
wasn't really ever in any B-B-B-Bar-
barry Coast d-d-d-dump."
When Frisco was talking salary
with the booking powers OF the Palace
he casually mentioned that he was
under considerable expense for his
heaters"
What do yon mean by 'hoaters'?"
asked a vaudeville man.
My c-c-c-cigars smoke about
thirty-five a day" Frisco explained.
And so 1t became known that the
smokes out of which he extracts SO
much comedy are to him heaters"

jazz dancing and hearkened to jazz
music. London has just caught the
epidemic and the mortality is even
greater than over here.
Keith meanwhile has caught
Frisco and Loretta McDermott and
tied them up with contracts and made
them headliners. Their troubles are

country is away below normal and it
is absolutely necessary that we ex-

There is only one real substitute for
wheat in this country today of which
there is more than normal supply,
and that is POTATOES.
In the state of Wisconsin alone
there are in the neighbOrhOOd of fiji.

Under the circumstances, it is the

THE children in Home Service fam

family and elevating its standards.
Their health should be carefully
watched, bearing in mind especially
the possible presence of adenOids, de-

thopedic difficulties, and backward
ness. Even in the absence of truant
officers, regular school attendance can

Problems of child welfare, health ;
Mental Development, school attend

new PATRIOTIC AIR AND
WORDS SET TO MUSIC

what Are You Going To Do To
Help the Boys?" is the title of a new
song, copies of which have been re
Celved by Max ROhr. 1t is patriotic
piece and the music has been arranged
for various instruments and it has al
ready struck popular chord and will
soon be as well known as any of the
songs Of the Civil war periods. The
words are as follows:
Your Uncle Sam is calling now on
ev'ry one of you
If you're too old or young to fight
there's something else to do,
Ii you have done a bit before don't
let the matter rest
For Uncle Sam expects that ev'ry
man will do his best
What are you going to do for Uncle
Sammy,
What are you going to do help the
boys
If you mean to stay at home
While they're fighting DER the foam,
The least that you can do is buy a
Liberty Bond or two,
If your going to be a sympathetic
miSer,
The kind that only lends a lot of noise,
You're no better then the one who
loves the Kaiser,
So what are you going to do to help
the boys? boys?
1t makes no difference who you are or
whence you came or how,
Your Uncle Sammy help'd you then
and you must help him now,
Your brothers will be fighting for your
freedom over there,
And if you love the Stars and Stripes
then you must do your share.

1UM0RIST HAD LAST LAUGH
How Mark Twain Turned Joke on Vi
erna Authorities Will Be New
Story to Many.

The letters of Mark Twain record
but little concerning the years he
spent in the Austrian capital, the
Christian Science Monitor observes.
The humOrist did some special writing
for American papers during those
"Wanderjahre." Indeed, the Vienna
journalists took him to their hearts as
u colleague Of particularly genial
type and often invited him to
friendly spread" at which the guests
were members of the Austrian fourth
estate. The story of how he got into
trouble With The authorities, through
the indiscretions of Vienna journal
list, has probably never been published.
AS the tale goes, a certain reporter,
either in facetiOus or a vindictive
moment, gave out that Mark Twain had
been seen suspiciously lettering about
the bridge which spans the Danube
canal near the Ring strasse, and not
far from the Hotel Metropole, at which
the ClemenseS lived. Mark could not
let this reflection upon his character
go unchallenged. He fastened to ex--
plain-to apologize, in fact, for having
given the authorities the slightest
anxiety about him.
The explanation was thoroughly
TWainlike. He had found by the
bridge the longest German word he
had ever seen and, in order to cOmpre-
bend it in all it's longitude and lati-
tude, he had pinned one end of it to
the bridge with the idea of unfolding
it! Bearing his precious burden with
him, he came to the opposite end of the
bridge, only, alas, TO find that he still
had yards to sparel The apology was
accepted with many a broad grin.

Although the Liberty loan campaign
officially opened April 6, in Jefferson
county it is not the purpose to begin
the real campaign-the big drive for
Liberty loan subscriptions = until
April Is. This later date is set in JEFF

be an opportunity for everyone
throughout the county to become ac-
quainted with the details of this third
loan, that they may understand the
proposition thoroughly and know
just what is expected of them and of
their community, before the Liberty
bond solicitors call upon them
