Holland Is Staru-
ing, Says Dutch
SINGER No,U in City

Holland is starving. We obtain a
little nourishing food at mid day. but
in the morning and evening we are
hungry" This is the information con-
tanned in letter to Simon Denys. a
Dutch grand opera singer who is APP
pearing at the Casino with the
Oriental Beauties.
Denys, who is 20 years old, was
singing in grand opera in Bremen at
the outbreak of the war. He left Ger
many in such hurry that his ward
robe, which now could not be replaced
for less than $1,000 was left behind.
Denys, who is a bass has sung in
grand opera since he was mere
youngster For five years he was with
the Amsterdam Opera Company. ne
was with the Opera Comqne in PARIS
for year and then went to Bremen to
fill five years engagement. Two
years of the contract were fulfilled
when war was declared. Denys hurried
back to his native country, and Tor
two years and four months served in
the Dutch army. In the value OF
American money the Dutch army is
paid at the rate of Is cents every five
DAYS or 50 cents in Dutch money.
Germany demanded everything
Holland had. and now she is starving.

cows nor use the food. ! don't think
Holland will enter the war, but If she
does it will not he to fight with Ger
many. The people favor the allies.
"The people Of Holland are not
angry with the allies for stopping
ships laden with food from going to
Holland" Denys continued. Owners
of ships were angry because the ships
were seized. but the common peaple
realize that Germany demands food
and probably would get much of the
food shipped in. They are satisfied IN
the face of the fact that there is onl?
enough food in Holland for one meal
daily.
Hollands sympathy went out to
Belgium in the first year Of the war
In our country now we care for seq,
600 Belgian refugees. Another thins

stitute the weekend bill at the Casino.
The play is THE Winding Trail"

the scenes of which are laid in the
west in the mining and prospecting
days Of the seventies.
The story deals with Audrey
Graham. a New York dancer, VINO

Steele, the man who had caused her
sisters dishonor and death. Under
unusual circumstances she meets
Zachary Wando leader of a band of
outlaws, who agrees to help her
Stirring events follow in rapid succes
sion and lead to an unusual ending.
The vaudeville feature is The
Oriental Beauties" a company Of ten
which has an act that is clean and
we'll presented. There are some good
voices, especially among the men and
the musical numbers are good. The
act has plenty of snap and provides
good comedy work, singing and dane
ing, and with the aid Of special
scenery makes rather novel showing.
The Pathe news weekly, completes
the bill.

Home Exhibit at Library.

with the assistance Of the pubic
library. Mrs. Mary Gregg, home dem
onstration agent, has been having a
series of exhibits on potato products
for the past three weeks. The neces-
sity for q larger use of potatoes is the
problem TO solve at this time. BY the
middle of June last years potatoes will
not be palatable. so now is the time to
use all the potatoes possible. Potatoes
rank next to bread -stuffs as a source
of carbohydrates. so it is our duty 10
eat more potatoes and less meat.
The exhibit at the library Saturday
will be of POTATOES in many ways.

Persons connected with the Red

cation in France must make a request
for articles in a similar manner, the

cases.

which will be shown at the Republic
Theatre Monday
They are keeping up the morale
of the soldiers at the front by afford
ing diversions for the people of
I America whose mental attitude is

\ the boys "over there"
Without diversion, especially in a
! crisis like that caused by worldwide
I conflict, a nation becomes depressed
unless afforded a certain amount of
entertainment. The motion pictures
reach the largest number of people
and, consequently, are performing the
greatest work in taking their minds
off the depressing details of war, for
a brief period.
Even the President of the United
States is said to realize the necessity
of diversion in order TO keep the
minds of the people in a normal
healthy state. He has officially en-
dorsed wholesome diversion both for
the soldiers and for the population at
