FINE MUSIC FOR MOVIES AT THE
 BRADLEY THEATRE

The patrons of the Bradley theatre have expressed their pleasure at the recent innovation installed by Man ager Hyde Smith, in the shape of a fotoplayer. This large musical in- strument has been placed in the the atre at cost of between five and ten thousand dollars, and adds greatly to the pleasure of each performance.
 While the new instrument has the soft tones of an organ there is some thing different in the sound, as it does not have that air of solemnity of the church instrument. 1t carries over 30 different effects and one accustomed to play it may fill in many little real istic sounds as the picture on the screen unfolds.

PUTNAM HIGH TRIMS BARTLETT
 IN TRACK MEET

Putnam High school followers were proud of their track team last Mon day, when they decisively defeated Webster by the overwhelming score of 37i to IT, in a dual track meet on the Athletic field The day was ideal, just enough zip in the air to make the setting of track day. Every Put nam man was ready and anxious for the fray, which will be proven by the following events The times were good considering the track, which was not cinder but grass track.
 The 100 yards dash was the first event and at the crack of the pistol they were off, and Putnam took all three places in this event easily, Cot ter winning first, Lown second and Barber third in the time of II 3-5 sec onds.
 The one-half mile event was the prettiest run or event of any. There were six contestants, three from each school. At the start Webster began to tear around the track, but after four laps were accomplished their leading man had to drop out, while A.nes, who had been pushing even this sprinter, kept his pace and finish ed first. with Ballard of Putnam sec ond, Bazinet of Webster third, in the record time of 2.54-
 Standing broad jump was won by Racicot, Webster, first; Lown of Put nam, second; Ralph of Webster, third, distance was it., 1-2 in.
 High jump was again all Putnam's. Two of Webster's men were easily eliminated, while the last four in the event three were Putnam, one Web ster. The final, however, was Lown and Pierce tied for first with AT 1-2 and the Webster man, Binner, third.

 In the evening there was a dance in the cloth room of the mill, where a new floor had been laid and where pretty decorations had been arranged. It was a very pretty sight. The pa tronesses were Mrs. John F. Reardon, Mrs. Chester B. Green and Mrs. Ev- erett Fletcher.
 After darkness the special electrical display was in evidence. Myriads of colored electric lights were seen and large search lights played over the viii lage from the roof of the mill.

Of course, you cannot have any objections.
When will we get another carload? Wish
we knew. But those of you who can't get a

Many of you have definitely decided to
buy a FORDSON tractor next spring. You
have made this decision because you have
seen and heard enough Of the FORDSON
and its work to know positively that it is
THE tractor to buy. !, -
BUT, in making this decision, have you
stopped to consider that you are likely to
play losing game, that the demand next
spring and the fact that the coal, steel and
railroad situation has played havoc with pro-
duction and cut it down more than half, will
make FORDSONS scarce and extremely
hard to get?

q, Butte. Mont, Feb. 10.-Strikers in
the mines of Butte, who object to the
recent reduction of one dollar a day
in wages and who are insisting on
the abolition of the "rustling" card
system, were halted on their way to
picket the mines today by guards OF
United States soldiers. Those men
who decided to go to work were per-
mitted to pass.
Discharged soldiers. who still wore
army uniforms, were among those
doing picket duty for the strikers.
They were singled out by the regular
army men and ordered Immediately
to discord their uniforms or cease
participation in the attempted picket
ing.
= Miners who use the street cars to
get to their work were prevented
from doing so when strikers stopped
the cars at the barns. Soldiers clear
ed the crowd from the vicinity of the
earn barns, but later committee OF
union men is understood to have
called out the union car men.

the offenses of which he had been
convicted. Bretz was taken to Jail
shortly before noon in the custody
of a deputy sheriff.
Oscar G. Wickersham, counsel
for BretZ, suggested to Judge Kun
kel that the disbarment of the law
yer had been sufficient punishment
and that sentence should be sus-
pended in the embezzlement case.
I'istrict Attorney Michael I1
Stroup, however, declared that he
considered it worse offense for an
attorney found to be guilty Of en-
bezzling money than for a layman. In
replying to Mr.. Wickersham's plea.
he said:
"rhe public and fellow members
of this bar require from this court
that this crime should be treated in
a manner commensurate with the of
fense. Here is a man versed in the
law and thus should walk in the
straight and narrow path. The pub
lie is more shocked when an attorney
is found to have embezzled. when a
preacher commits a moral offense. or
a banker embezzles than when a lay
man falls"
Judge Kunkel before imposing SEN
tence reminded Bretz that he had mis-
represented facts to his clients in
order to hold the money, and in ap-
propriating it he had betrayed a trust
to his client and his allegiance to the
court.
When you became a member OF
this bar Judge Kunkel went on, ad-
dressing Bretz, you took an oath Of
faith to this court and to your clients
You have not only brought disgrace
upon yourself but to a certain extent
suspicion on other members of this
bar and reflection on this court, an
act which cannot. be overlooked. We
will take into account that ynu have
been disbarred as that is a very seN
we're punishment. but it is necessary
that the sentence imposed must salts
fly the estimate placed on your ac-
tDons by the court and bar"

duced by Representative William F,
Rorke. of Philadelphia, would be un-
patriotic, un-Christian, the resolution
scathingly declares. Recalling the
patriotic efforts put forth by the
churches during the war, the resolu-
tion says that the proposed amend
ment would take from the Church g
altars and pews many who are need
ed to be her pillars in the future.
The promoters OF the measure are
severely arraigned for their efforts m
the tffrmations of the clergymen.
They already have every afternoon
and evening of the week days, the
ministers declare, and it would be en-
tirely selfish for them to ask for the
Sabbath in addition.
Plans are now being outlined by
the body to actively fight the meas-
ure. These arrangements will be in
charge of the body's executive COM
mittee.
The resolutions are
THE Harrisburg Ministerial Asso-
citation, consisting of 15O ministers in
good standing in accredited, churches
and representing a lay membership
of no less than 10000 souls, most
earnestly protests against the pas
sage of House Bill No. "a, and bill
legalizing Sunday concerts, moving
pictures, etc, for the following rea-
sons
Il Sunday is necessary to the pre-
servation of the home. Such laws
would be a blow at the home life of
the state.
80. That such laws would be un-
patriotic. Blessed is that nation
whose God is the Lord No Sunday,
no sense of God; no sense of God. no
national blessedness and greatness.
%. Such laws would be un-Chris-
tian. This is a Christian nation. So
says the Supreme Court of the United
States. Sunday is necessary to keep
our nation Christian.
"a. Such laws would be blow at
the Church. The Church easily stands
out as the most potent factor in the
winning of the world-war. She gave
generals and her young men by the
millions and her wealth by the bill
Hons. She prayed the armies of the
United States and her Allies through
to triumph over a foe that would not
go out except also and principally by
prayer and fasting. Not one phase
of the war did the United States Gov
ernment seek TO promote without fer
Vently calling to the Church for her
indispensable assistance. These laws
would take from her altars and her
pews many who are needed to be her
pillars in the future.
AS the laws of the state protect
the game of our forests and the fish
of our streams, we respectfully ask
that the churches of our state be pro-
tected to the extent of at least one
day of the week, in order that they
may do the most important work in
various interests seeking changes in
human life. The promoters of these
our Sunday laws already have every
afternoon and evening of the week
days. To ask for the Sabbath in ad-
dition is entirely selfish.
ut is resolved that the Executive
Committee of this Association repre-
sent this body at a hearing on these
bills"
