SOLDIER BOYS ARE COMING.

Uncle Sans Yankee Minstrels are
coming; everyone Of these boys are
hardened veterans Of Pershing's army,
and many OF them have been cited for
their deeds. The entire tour is for 80
days only, and this city Is one of the
80 that has been fortunate enough TO
be visited by these distinguished sol
diers. Their engagement will be at
New City Hall Auditorium Theater,
Crystal Falls, Monday. March "a
The entertainment consists of a
grand minstrel first part; big all
star vaudeville program and a rip
roaring military afterpiece that is
said to be as funny as anything ever
written in this line.
Taking the show as whole, II is
full of singing, dancing, music, vivid
stories and comedy. The musical end
of this program Is held up by the
famous S7th Infantry band and Jazz
orchestra.
In many Of the cities the boys have
been given receptions and have been
met at the train by delegation head
ed by band and escorted to the hotel
where a banquet awaited them. They
are shown good time everywhere
and crowded houses greet them every
night, and 1t is certain that the public
spirited citizens here will not neglect
the boys who fought for us.
The advance sale opened Wednesday
March Goth at Jacob Bros. Jewelry
store, and 1t would be well for all to
reserve seats early as it looks as
though many will not be able to Sc
cure seats.

AFTER THE ELECTION.
HARRY.

A few words | would like to say
In regards to our last election day.
The day opened as 1t was expected,
Every man expecting to be elected.
But none OF them outright would say,
Because they all would know at the
end of the day.
Well. the day went kind Of fast,
And finally came to an end at last.
The counting soon was over and done,
And right there was where the fun
begun.
The Alpha brass band. twenty per-
sons strong.
with most everyone in Alpha came
marching along,
Stopping in business places and play
ed little song.
But they were not to enjoy this SO
very, very long.
As they came to business place, so ]
understand,
And the boss was sore over his de-
feated friend,
He hoIlered and he shook till he was
blue in the face.
Before they understood him say "you
get out Of my place"
Why, they stopped just outside Icant
tell YOU why,
But they played Il am sorry that ]
made you cry
And while he was still shaking, his
temper heat,
They all bid him bye-bye and Went
down the street
Now, this business man done wrong,
so to me it seems;
Because there are other places we
can buy ice cream.
Now and then | used to buy a dish
or cone,
Even though I've a lot Of my own
have heard some say that they were
afraid
That by acting that way he has hurt
his trade.
Now, let me say to those that were
not elected:
The Good Book says MANY called, but
only few selected"
This election was not pulled of by
acclamatIon and noise,
But, according to leave and by peo-
pies choice.
It's no us feeling sore and faces full
Of gloom,
/ The Offices are all full and there
isn't any more room
! am not voter yet, and not even 4
man,
But | am for the good old Alpha and
will boost whenever | can.
And | think the people were satisfied
and think they did right.

 Prior Rights.

Paris, Thursday. July 17.---The com mittee of the Chamber of Deputies which is considering the treaty of peace today toolo up a report on Ger man colonies. This report says that the return of Togoland and the Fam erun to France only rcvives the prior rights of Franco from a political viewpoint. IL adds, however, that "a recent accord between France and Great Britain fixes the limitations and rights of each in those colonies"
 Premier C1ernenceau, in appearing before the committee, declared that the security of Franco was Cuaran- teed by the treaty of peace and the treaties between Franco and the United States and France and Great Britain. M. Clemenccau reviewed the proceedings in tho peace confer ence regarding the left bank of the Rhine. filing with the committee a. se- ries of documents on the subject. He recalled that. in the opinion of Mar hhal Foch, the bridgChcads of the Rhine should be established and oc- cupied permanently. ant said that he had been obliged to choose between that protection which France alone would havo been obliged to assure, and the protection afforded by the American and British treaties.

Now York, July 1S-Thirty enn- ployes of the Health Department yes -tcrday resumed tho work of handling !, the crowd of drug nddicts that has Bstormed the Registration Bureau of fThe State Narcotic Commission, at No. necessary for them to have registra- -sion and dosage cards in order to ob- tain drugs legally.
 It was estimated when the bureau closed nt 10 o'clock last night that about 1.50O persons, probably 40 per cont, of them women, had applied ! during the day Many applicants were richly clad and came in automobiles.
 Some admitted they were forced to apply at the bureau in compliance with the law effective at midnight on "Wednesday because they had found l their usual channels closed.
 | An unexpected complication came Hast night when many doctors and ldruggists, frightened by recent ar brests and not certain they understood the law, refused to issue prescriptions For to sell drugs to addicts who pre- scented the proper registration and L6osa.ge cards. Some of the addicts became frantic and declared they would go crazy in 24 hours if their craving was not satisfied.
 About 700 men and women hurried to the clinic operated aby the Board of tufealth in Worth street, but many had to be turned away. Health Com rmissioner Copeland took cognizance brgf the unexpected developments by xnnnounoing that on production of the Eproper cards, doctors and druggists
 should make and fill prescriptions. , He even went so far as to say that .those suffering from chronic and in ,ctrabie diseases should be prescribed for even if not yet registered, as many Edo not sae m to have heard of the law.
