.B|C COMEDY SUCCESS
 AT ELKS THIS WEEK

That the bargain matinees at the Elks theater on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday are proving more popular every week as the Del s. Lawrence company'S season progresses was again demonstrated last Saturday when a larger audience greeted the talented company in their very excellent per formance of Pierre of the the Plains, which is one of the best stock pro- auctions seen in Phoenix in many years. All lovers of good drama as well as comedy are taking advantage of this opportunity. MT. Lawrences s portrayal of this difficult role is in- deed gem and stands out above all his other roles like a cameo. It is doubtful if it could be improved upon by any other stock actor.
 Miss Wilma Steck, as Jen, the lead ing feminine role, is also seen at the very best advantage and is showing her many friends that she is just as convincing in drama as in hel lighter comedy roles.
 A big surprise is in store for the Lawrence company followers this week when one of the biggest comedy sue cesses of the past decade will be pre- scented, entitled "Yon Yonson," whict has been acknowledged for years to be the greatest of all Swedish come- dies. It has always proved to be one of the biggest hits wherever the Law renee company has presented it. and no doubt will repeat it's success here. Del s. Lawrence has appeared in tht role of "Yon" over 800 times and i is one of his biggest triumphs. He wa. originally with Ben Hendricks who created the role, and understudied MT Hendricks for several seasons and his many admirers here have a big sur prise awaiting them.
 Miss Steck, too, will have one O the favoritey comedy parts in which she has achieved such popularity in Phoe- nix, besides giving some new voca numbers, a reminiscence of her musi- cal comedy days. Other musica specialties will be interpolated by members of the company, including Miss Printy and MT. Schilling. A big new scenic production vii be given, a wonderful effect being the big, realistic log-jam scene in the l third act, one of the greatest scene: ever staged here.
 Patrons of the Elks theater are re minded that all performances nov start on new" time S:30 o'clock even

who is graceful and who has other beautiful attributes; what chance has she, the question is repeated, of getting into a moving picture company and thus achieving the ambition of thous- ands of young girls today?"
 There was q time. not so many years ago, the motion picture pro- ducer explains, when such girl pro- sessed a fairly good chance of entering the movies. But that day is passed. Today, in addition to having good looks, possessing the correct coloring for proper photographing, and being graceful before the camera, a young woman who is a screen aspirant should have a large array of gowns and have money enough to last her for at least a year.
 Thus the dreams of thousands of girls are shattered. This advice can be taken to heart by these aspirants for screen glories, for it comes from a man who has engaged hundreds, even thousands of young women for his movie productions,
 The most beautiful one is certain to have a long and tiresome wait be- fore she is given a chance to become even an "extra," in a movie company, and then there is another long ap- premiership when she gets not more than s25 a'week. That not more than one girl in thousand progresses far enough to get into stock company, the producer declares.

ARMY GAS MASKS
HELP FIRE FIGHTERS
(By Associated Press)

Buffalo, August 30-Army gas
masks will not be abandoned by
the Buffalo fire department.. AT
the first fire in which they were
used here firemen wearing them
were overcome while others
without masks were. able to
stand the smoke. 1t was de-
clared at that time masks were
useless as fire department equip
ment.
Fire Chief Murphy refused to
accept this as conclusive trial
and since then, he says, the
masks have been used with
signal success.
"At the recent FIRE at the
Cudahy packing plant where the
smoke was very dense, men
wearing masks penetrated to all
parts of the building, remained
for long periods and suffered no
i'll effects Chief Murphy said.
"The army mask has come to

ly tells his readers in recent issue
that he is undecided whether to con.
sinue the harassed existence of a
country publisher or take to the open
road as a common tramp. His con-
illusions are set down in an editorial
in which he tells an "unappreciative
public" that if he never writes an
other line for his paper they can
draw their conclusions as to what
happened. Regarding tramp he
met on the open highway" he
writes: "The price Of gasoline has
no telTors for him. He doesn't have
to- take bath unless he wants to.
He can be his own lazy, independent

DRY WORKERS CALLED
"PUSSYFEET" IN BRITAIN

Correspondence Associated Press)
/ London, August 30-"Pussy.

papers and British liquor inter.
cts have given the campaign tc
make England dry, and pussy
feet is the title they have given
those members of Parliament and
American Anti-Saloon workers
who are pressing the movement.
1t has been announced that
there is abundant money behind
the movement, and the nucleus
lof parliamentary prohibition
party has been formed by nine
members Of the House of Com
mons to first fight for the reten-
ton of war time liquor regula-
tions while forming their lines
for more drastic acton.
Harrogate, a health resort
with some 80 mineral springs,
was selected as the first object of
attack, and number of speakers
were sent there to spread the
dry" doctrine. 1t was also de-
cided to pay particular attention
to Scotland where, under new
regulations, local option is pos.
sible.
Most of the newspapers have
done nothing but ridicule the
movement, and urge that owing
to the climate British men and
women needed stimulants and
would never voluntarily relin-
quisfr their alcohol.
The liquor interests say they
have not given the question much
attention preferring to believe
that the prohibition experiment
in the United States will fail and
therefore will be no need for ac-
ton in England.

ROOSEVELT COUNTY'S
FIRST CRIMINAL COURT

Roosevelt county's first Grim,
inal court convened in Mondak
last Monday with eight or ten

is i'll with typhoid fever, would
not be able to leave the hospital
at Williston until the latter part
of December.
One of the cases that has at
tracted attention is that of the

revenue of $40, 493. It may
appear that a levy of 25c an acre
borne in mind that the reported
crop acreage is likely to be
greatly reduced from present
figures by reason of the, fact
that many farmers failed to put
into crop the acreage intended
and listed on account of the
drouth, ETC., but neglected to
have such area withdrawn be-
fore the 18th of June. Any
claimant for exemptions of the
indemnity tax on these grounds,
must make application therefor
to the county commissioners,
where the land is located. This
is according to the ruling of the
attorney general.
Owing to the great volume of
business, it is generally believed
that the losses were heavy, but
I am of opinion that it was per-
haps only a fair average season,
and that we should be prepared
for more severe tests to come.

NORTH DAKOTA PAYS
HUGE HAIL Loss
1882 Farmers to Receive In
surance Money-Total Cost
Only $74,395.

The beneficiaries OF the North
Dakota hail tax law will not pay
over Is cents an acre for hail in
surance this year; S3,419, 924.42
will be paid out for hail losses
to farmers; 12,467,130 acres
were not withdrawn end re-
manned under the state insur-
ance law; the total cost of rum
ming the hail insurance depart
ment was only S75,395.27; the
total number of benefciaries
will be 1852 farmers.
These figures represent the
remarkable success of the new
state hail insurance department
of North Dakota the first year
of its operation, according to the
final report State Commissioner
of Insurance S. A. Olsness.
This success can be under
stood only by comparing these
results with the results of hail
insurance by private corpora
tons. Corporation insurance
has been costing at least 70
cents per acre, or nearly three
times as much. This enormous
ly greater cost of private COM
pany insurance is absorbed by
overhead expenses several times
greater proportionately than
those under state insurance and
by all the profits the corpora
tons have been able to squeeze
out of the business. The state
hail insurance department not
only has unusually low over
head expense, but it will make
no profits at all. The farmers
will get back all the money they
put in minus overhead expenses
entailed in running the State
Hail Insurance department.
Summarizing these figures
and results, Insurance Commits
SlOnef OlSneSS says:
Heavy Losses In East
It has generally been claimed
that the western part Of the
state was more subject to hail
than the eastern part. This
has not been the experience of
the past season, as Pembina,
Cavalier, Trail, Grand Forks,
Steele, Griggs and Benson coun-
ties are the heavy losers.
Total number of losses re-
ported for the whole state is IL,
852.
Total amount of losses as re-
turned by the adjusters is 49,
419,924.42.
The approximate expense OF
administration to date is as fol.
lows:
Cost of adjustment SAT, 778.8z
