PRODUCING the hero in an agreeable
manner, and sufficiently establishing
the atmosphere in which he belongs
the director has swung into the ro-
nance of the story with very little pre-
liminary detail. Considerable care
has been taken with the double eX-
posure scenes of the picture, which
have been so we'll done that they may
be considered feature of the produc-
ton. On the other hand, the meth
DDS of arriving at dramatic situations
are not always convincing, with the
result that the suspense of the story
is impaired. Harry Morey's work on
the whole is good, although more
marked differentiation Of character,
in two men of similar identities would
have been an Improvement.

this nice little article by means OF a
system OF exchange-that is, the
young lady says something mighty
nice about you which someone else
has said and then you give her COM
pliment you have heard about her.
1t starts off like this: "I've got a
trade-at last for you-oh, it's a
dandy" you haye-'well, let's see. "
Then you think a long time and II
you cant remember anyone who has
said anything particularly compliment
tary about the young lady, You start
some small seeds Of Imagination o
growing in your brain and in Just a
very few moments you can reach up
and pick off perfectly good com.
pliment, brand new and Just grand!
So after the young lady I'm telling
you about, whose eyes cleaned in
pleasant anticipation handed over her
compliment done up in tissue paper
and lied with blue ribbon, this was
the one she got back in exchange:
$50 and So told me-if you we're
Just little BIT taller-you'd make a
very good chiffonier!" 1t is needless
to say that this has about cured the
young lady of fishing for comph-
meIlts.

Maryland Beauties Strong Card.

Jack Murphy and his company filled
the Hipp last night to the back seats
with the happiest crowd seen in the
little house for some time, and the en-
tertainment was of such a hilarious
nature that the audience was roaring
most of the time. The chicken roost
bit has not been used for ages at the
Hipp, and to many it was entirely new
Anyway the syle in which Happy
Freyer, Wal Smith and Jack Murphy
nut it on last night was so good that
one would laugh even though he had
seen the stunt before. There is no let
down in the quality of the bill for the
latter end of the week, nor relaxing in
the care in putting it over. Just as
gingery as the first day they played
the Hipp, every member of the com
pany was right up on his toes last
night and walked the audience to lib
eral applause. The appearance of the
Grant Town quartette with Happy on
the bass end was the cause of a nice
delegation of the folks out Grant Town
way coming in, for the quartette has
a nice following who miss no oppor-
tunity to hear them. Their work last
night was worthy the reputation that
the boys have already earned. Mana
ger Heinrich is offering a rather I'M
usual attraction this coming week,
the company being composed entirely
of midgets, the largest of which is said
to be barely over thirty-siX inches
tall. The company is in Clarksburg
this week.

THE BAKERS RECREATION

(By WILLIAM FRED SACHS.) Did you ever sit and think of days
 long ago,
 When the baker toi1ed wearily in a
 cellar shop below, While his se1f-styled master s1umbered
 dreaming of big receipts, The diligent and ski11fu1 baker twisted
 dough, making dainty. sweets? Through smoke from the doughnut
 kettle always came a smile, Grudgingly returned by his master with
 a customary groWl, Though the production of his long
 nights toll be good, The master failed unwisely to treat
 him IS he should. But everything has an ending, whether
 for better or for worse; Organized labor like a beacon light
 brilliantly illuminated the course. Ungratefu1 deeds dealt by master
 bakers, through days just passed Were merely sowing seeds benehtting
 and en1ightning the mass. Now the down-trodden baker who uti1-
 ized the offered light, Instead of obeying unjust orders is
 enjoying what is his right Take advantage of the lifeline by labor
 leaders cast; Humi1iated sinking bakers, 1t is the only
 line to grasp.

 The preamble recites that the world wide unrest is not the creation of Bol- Shevists or anarchists, but in the main the justifab1e revolt of workers against evil and well-nigh intolerable cond- tions.

 The Grand Rapids Herald says: If anybody of that great crowd which went to Powers theater last night to hear Glenn E.

 If any Bolshevist went there looking for comfort, he came away sadly dis appointed. Glenn E. Plumb is not bo1- shevistic, is not an agitator, is not breeder of unrest. He is first, a scholar 1y gentleman, next a deep thinker, fair-minded man of clear brain, quiet but forceful speaker and a man with an, idea"

MINERS TO WORK WITH RAILROAD MEN
Convention at Cleveland Endorse Plumb Plan
 chinery for Cooperation.

The United Mine Workers conven- tion held at Cleveland, September 13, unanimously endorsed the Plumb plan for standardization and democratic in the control of the railroads and pledges the support of the miners organization to secure its enactment.
 Glenn E. Plumb, completing two weeks tour through the Middle West, where he had been received by enthusi- aStic audiences in the large industrial centers, had just addressed the conven- ton, explaining at length the Plumb plan as affecting the railroads, and the possibility of its application to mining and other basic industries. His speech was ordered printed and distributed directly to all local unions of the United Mine Workers
 At the close of his address, $500 dele gates gave him a demonstration lasting five minutes. When Chairman Lewis, vice-president of the United Mine Workers, had succeeded in obtaining silence, the resolution advocating the Plumb plan was immediately brought forward. A standing vote was taken and every man on the floor of the con- vention leaped to his feet.
 "The ayes seem to have it," said Chairman Lewis, dry1y.
 Later in the day a resolution was in troduced which bids fair to be historic in the annals of American labor. This resolution invited the railroad brother hoods to join with teh United Mine Workers in an alliance for action look ing towards the standardization of both the mining and railroad industries, this relation to be later extended into an economic alliance with labor organiza- tions in the other basic industries.
 Assurances had been given that the railway organizations which last year showed themselves averse to the idea of a conference for cooperation with the miners, were now ready to act with them. TheG text of. this historic reso1u- ton reads as follows
 Resolved, that this convention in struct the resident officers and the in ternatio1al executive board to endeavor to bring about conference with the railway workers organizations for the purpose of formulating an alliance
