few SEATS UNS0LD FOR
RED CROSS Benefit PLAY

At the time of going to press there
are exactly 43 tickets left for the ma
tinee performance of the wonderful
photoplay over There" All seats for
the 645 and S:45 show being sold.
This is 81 per cent of the seating capa-
city, why not make it 100 per cent ;;
there surely are that many more peo-
pie who would be glad to purchase
these tickets if they know they were
to be had. These tickets will be on
sale at the VIM G. Pritzlaff Co. store
Thursday morning or at the Classic
theatre box office Wednesday evening
There seems to be a misunderstand-
ing about the profits of this play Some
people thinking the Classic manage
ments receives part of the profits.
This is entirely wrong; the manage
ment OF the theatre only receives the
exact cost of the picture, war tax, sal
airy paid to help of the theatre, and
rent of building for one day, except
the advertising cost and printing of
tickets being donated by the printers
of this city, doing their share willing
ly, the entire balance which is about
$4,000 will be donated to the local
chapter of the Red Cross
Now for the final plea, those who
have not purchased tickets do so at
once, so when the show starts, we
viii. not have to open the box office,
but can say-all seats sold
The school children of Watertown
sold $219.2O Of tickets, they surely did
their bit and they will feel fully re-
paid if perchance their efforts at home
have in some way helped some poor
suffering soldier on the battlefield.

ant play of the same name and was
directed by Robert G. Vignola, will be

On d visit to New York city, Kate
Tarleton, (Alice Brady, the ward and

Gus surgical experimenter, wanders
into trap from which he rescues her
with the aid of the secret service. How
he takes a unique but adequate re-
venge on those responsible for her

same time furthering the social wei
fare,e is we'll worth seeing.

ry English, is the husband of Miss
Ferguson, as Rosamond. He is re-
ported killed in battle, but instead is

our Little Wife,, starring Madge
Kennedy, will be the attraction at the
Majestic tonight 1t is intended for
farce comedy and introduces a de-
lightful characterization of feminine
responsibility and raises it to some
higher and intermediate plane. The

ton of incidents with some bright
spots sure to get laugh.
Over There" will be shown at the
Classic Friday by special arrange
ment. The tickets for the Red Cross
benefit have been all sold and the de-
mand for the picture necessitates hold

Poet Too Artificial,

In the same year as Lovelace, or
just three centuries ago, was born
Abraham Cowley, who published his
first book of poems at the age of ff-
teen and to whom fell the posthumous
honor of leading off Samuel Johnson's
"Lives of the Poets" Johnson ranked
him among those he called the "meta-
physical" poets and expressed a dis
like for his far-fetched conceits with
which the present-day reader would
heartily coincide.

NOBLE thoughts and Poems.

When you have thought something
fine and beautiful, go little further
and put 1t into fine action. Noble
thoughts which do not inspire to noble
living are the most hopeless of shams.
And the noblest poems are not those
which are written, but those which are
lived.

AMERICAN GOVERNMENT SETS THE PACE THAT
 ALL MUST FOLLOW

Recent news dispatches from Wash ington show tremendously increased activities on the part of the various Governmental Departments, looking toward placing millions of men. be- yond the first estimate, in France. The men in Class l are being called rapidly and the draft age being eX- tended means thousands of places must be filled quickly in the business offices, because business must go on. supplies must be furnished both for the men at the front and the people who back them up at home. Boys who are not in the military age, men who are not physically fit to serve, and women whose husbands have gone to the front, and girls should consider this matter seriously and act quickly. Women and young men who possess ths right training will receive a ready welcome in government off, ces, Banks, Insurance Offices, Busi- ness Houses and Railroad Offices. Whether you must earn your living or not, it is worth while to be able to do so and, in these strenuous days of war conditions. thousands of women and young men will patriotically fill these positions vacated by their bro thers and husbands who have gone and are going. Efficient preparation counts in making your time valuable to yourself and your services valuable to your country. The newspapers from day to day show this need.

BIG ADVANDE ON
 COTTON MARKET
Close at New York is at Net Gains of From 160 to I67 Points on Government Condi- tiOn Report of 55.7.

New York, Sept. 3.-The sensation ally bullish government crop report was followed by an equally sensation al advance in the cotton market dq.- ing todays trading. The general list closed barely steady, at net gains of 160 to 167 points.
 The market was strong from the start, owing to the higher Liverpool cables, favorable weather news and continued expectations of low official crop figures. There was trade buying on the opening advance of 30 to 95 points, and the demand was active enough to absorb scattered Southern selling or realizing on comparatively moderate reactions during the first hour. Traders had been prepared for very bullish government crop figures by the private reports issued last week, but the actual report, making the condition 55.7, the indicated yield per acre only I4o.Z and the indicated crop 11,137000 bales, was much lower than expected, with the indivated yield per acre the lowest on record. Buying immediately became general and prices jumped rapidly. The vol ume of business then tapered off and there were reactions during the af- ternoon under realizing and scattered Southern selling. The latter selling was more in evidence than on prev ious advances and led to talk that progress with ginning and the higher level of prices had attracted increased hedging.
 Spot cotton steady; middling 3S.20c.

 tails further than to state that it takes high school education, two years college work and five years in medical college, or eleven years in all and the expenditure of from $2,000 up before a young man can begin the practice of medicine So you see, as it is there is very little to encourage the young men to enter upon the study of medicine.
 One doctor practicing medicine in Prescott was called to see the son of a farmer whose mule was also sick. The farmer called the veterinary sur geOn the same time he called the doc ter to see his son. When the doctors had finished attending to their cases the farmer asked for their respective bills, and needless to say, the doctor who attended the son received $2.5O. while the mule doctor walked away with $500, and no ones feelings in jured except the sons doctor.
 Again, can we be blamed for askino. the following prices which will be in effect from this date:
