PLAN CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE FOR
U. S. AND CANADA
Think II Would Cement Relations
Between Nations.

Toronto, Canada The proposal
made that both the United States and
Canada need an American chamber of
commerce of Canada to correlate bus
mess relations of these countries,
neighbors and comrades in arms, has
met with Endorsement The secretary
of the board of trade of one important
city said: 81 am a member of the
National Association of Commercial
organization Secretaries. / am aware
of the powerful alliance that would
be formed between Canada and the
United States if there was a recog-
nized chamber of commerce of Can
ada"
Notwithstanding the fact that a
large amount of financing for Canada
is being done in the United States
now 1t is generally recognized that
the ultimate consumer" of securities
development which has taken place
throughout Canada by the colonial
ton of the western provinces since
1905. Besides the size and stability of
the cities which have grown up, the
amount of'taXable property in those
cities, the potential wealth of all the
territory round about, and other facts
are not generally known. On the
other hand, political relations of Can
ada and the financing done for her by
Great Britain in the past would nat
uraly diminish the interest of Cana
dams as to the United States.
Moreover, the food problem de-
mands a great increase of crop acre
age on this continent during the next
few years and the available acreage is
to be found in largest amount north
of the boundary, rather than south or
it. Colonization of that land, to make
it productive, will be one of the i'm
portant needs recognized on both
sides of the international boundary.
This being the case, the steps taken
to increase the readiness with which
colonization is undertaken and to
minimize the fear of deception has
created another great problem for
which a solution has been proposed
in Canada, that of requiring from the
owners of all idle land a price at
which they will sell.
The Canadian Problems club of
Winnipeg recently submitted an ella.
borated plan, and other plans are said
to be forthcoming which will assure
the tenant farmer and others looking
for tract of virgin land, that he will
get square deal and have no reason
for suspicion and distrust In the
United States the colonization move
ment has Jagged of late because of
the general distrist created by unre-
gulated land selling schemes.
The food problem is only one of
many in which a chamber of COM
merce as the central agency will
serve most important purpose, say
many COMPETENT CRITICS. Shall there
be one?

BOYS MUST GET TO WORK SOON

Boys of school age who have re-
fused to work during the vacation
period and who do nothing but lay
around loafing places, will have the
attention of Juvenile Judge H. P.

that all of these youngsters must use
their vacation period to some good
end and unless they do find work
either at home or in useful occupa-
tions about the city, they will be

POST CARD SHOWER FOR BOYS
SUGGESTED

1t has been suggested that the peo-

do as the folks have done in other
places by giving post card shower
for all of the Mason county boys in

country. 1t has been suggested that a
certain day be designated on which
picture post cards of scenes in Mays
vile and Mason county be sent to all
the men. Some local organization may
take up this suggestion and vary it
through to success.

PRACTICE OF MEDICINE GUESS
WORK

1t has been said that the practice OF
medicine>at best is simply game Of
guesswork. because the action of
drugs varies to great degree upon
different individuals; but when a
medicine has lived for forty years,
constantly growing in sales and pop
ularity there can be no greater proof
of Its merit. Such medicine is Lydia

edy, now recognized from shore to

Guides Monday night Of the following
week, when Amelita Galli-Curci will
make her New York debut in "Dinorah /"
winch has been one Of the most sue.
ccssful rcvivals Of the Chicago COM
pany.
The story Of "Isabeau" is as follows.
In his castle King Raimonde awaits
the arrival of the princes from abroad
VINO are coming to joust in the Lists
OF Courtesy, the victor to win the hand
OF isabeau, the daughter and only heir
OF the King. The crowd outside sings
the praise of Isabeau, who is returning
from pious pilgrimage. The digni-
tarles retire at the command Of the
King, who wishes to speak to her alone.
She enters, and to her greeting he
replies that he speaks as King and
not as father. Sho must discard the
mantle that has always hidden her
charms and show herself to best adj
vantage before the princely suitors
who are about to contest for her hand
In spite of her protests that she wishes
to be won by love, he commands her
to lay aside her modesty and piety and
appear in the most becoming arrav
before their guests.
AS Isabeau leaves to enter the ora
torio Giulietta, an old woman, enters
with her nephew Falco, dreamer and
an idealist. Cornelius, the Chan
cellor, confronts them, and, to their
idyllic fancy of presenting two white
doves to the Princess, answers with
command to leave the castle. Isabeau
RENTERS at this moment and bids them
stay, that she may hear the old wom-
ans story. Giulietta tells Isabeau that
she has come far to commend her only
beloved possessions--two white doves
and her nephew-to the possession and
protection of the Princess, for she
feels that the end of her own guardian
ship is nearing with the end of her
life. 1sabeau graciously accepts the
old woman's charges.
In the lists the Herald announces
each prince, recountlng his deeds Of
valor, riches and noble family, but
each one 1sabeau rejects, declaring
that she can marry only for love.
Enraged at his failure to pcrpetuate
his dynasty, the King orders the town
under martial law and directs the peo-
pie to go into mourning for the ap-
preaching end of the kingdom. Isa-
beau begs him to spare this punish
ment to the people, declaring herself
guilty of his dspleasure. He turns
his wrath upon her, commanding her
to expiate her disobedence and NOR
tlfy her obstinate modesty by riding
nude through the city streets at mid
day mounted upon a white horse. Al
though Mortified at this sentence, she
assents in order to escape from mar

men to marry his daughter. Xalca ad-
mlts his love and refuses to surrender
Azora, to which the priest replies with
warning and threats.
On the morning Of the feast of Totec
lives are to be sacrificed to the sun god
to bring military success against new
enemy. Tarascan. The ceremonies Of
the feast begin, the sacrificial victims
are brought forth. Montezuma notices
that his daughter Is not present, and
his sister Papantzin asserts that she
persuaded Azora to remain away from
these cruel rites, which she believes
wicked. Rebuked by the Emperor, Pa
pantzin describes vision in which she
has behcld the messenger of the true
god whose warriors shall come with a
cross as their emblem and triumph over
cruelty and superstition.
Montezuma is angered, but the ap-
rroach Of the enemy is heralded, so all
attention is given to the rites and prep
arations for battle. Xalca is sum-
moned and Montezuma places him in
command, promising him whatever he
may demand if he returns victorious.
Seeing chance to win Azora, the war
Slor accepts the appointment eagerly
and goes to the front.
When month has elapsed without
news Of Xalca, Canck tries to convince
Azora that her lover is dead. Ramatzin
urges his claim for her hand, humbly
q: first, but, being repealed, turns to
brutality. Canck intercedes, but she
dismisscs them both.
In the temple Montezuma and his
people appeal for aid. Ramatzin, about
to depart as commander of second ex-
redition, demands that first Azora be
formally bctrothed to him. The En-
pcror accedes, but Azora refuses. and
the cnraged Ramatzin accuses her of
loving Xalca. She proudly admits it.
and refuses her fathers final stern de-
mand, whereupon Montezuma decrees
death to Xalca.
Aalca returns victorious, and the EN-.

peror grimly tells him that sacrifice
shall celebrate the victory. Xalca
claims the hand of Azora as his reward,
but the monarch denounces him as an
alien slave. When his daughter pre-
sents further insistencc he declares
that they shall be joined only by the
hand of death.

lowing morning Papantzin administers

refuses. Xalca enters and begs her to
yield, but she is firm.

gather for the sacrifice. Canek pre-
rares to dispatch the two lovers at the
instant when shaft of sunlight, adj
r;1tted by cleft in the wall, rests upon
them as the mystic signal of the sun
goa. Voices are heard outside singing
the theme Of faith in the true God
which Papantzin predicted, and the
ceremony is arrested with awe.
In the entrance appears the Spanish
leader, Cortez, mounted on a white
charger and backed by warriors and
priests bearing banners of the Chris
tan religion.
The natives stand back in dismay as
the bearer Of the cross walks to the
altar while the Spanish priests chant.
Montezuma and his people call franti-
cally upon their god to protect them,
but no answering manifestation ap-
pears against the Christian conquest,
and the strains of "Gloria in Excelsis
Dec" proclaim the coming Of civiliza-
ton.
