MANY PLANNING 10
 STEP OUT TONIGHT

There Is every reason to believe that Nenana's Thanksgiving dance, to be held at Union hall tonight, will be a very largely attended af- fair, notwithstanding the fact that the Fairbanks excursion attracted some of the local dancers to the upper town. Practically all of the stay-at-homes will be out tonight, according to the best information obtinable, and there is reason to believe the dance will be one of the most enjoyable held this winter,
 The music is to be furnished by the Coliseum orchestra-violin, pi- ano, and drums-which is a guar antee that there will be pep" 10 the party It will be the fault of the dancers if they do not make the most of it. The floor also will be in the best possible condition for dancing.
 The dance will start about ten o'clock and will continue until the small hours of the morning. The charge for admission, for men, will be s1.50. The ladies, as usual, will be admitted free.

entitled Wild Winship's Widow, ' with clever Dorothy Dalton in the title role, and one of those mirth- provoking Mack Sennett comedies, in two reels, entitled "A Bedroom Blunder."
 :Wild Winship's Widow" gives Dorothy Dalton ample opportunity for the display of her wonderful talent, and she has the support of a strong Triangle cast. The story is full of interest, with number of dramatic situations, and is different from other stories.
 It matters little what the comedy is about. IL is enough to know that it is one of those Mack Sennett masterpieces of mirth, with Charles Murray, Wayland Trask, and Mary Thurman in charge of the fun-mak- ing. The Sennett comedies are all good. and "A Bedroom Blunder" is said to be one of the best.
 The price of admission will be 50 cents, with a quarter extra for reserved seats.

PAT GETS SEVEN
AND HALF YEARS

The trial Of the |. w. W, prisoners
at Kansas City last week closed. and
there were ~ found guilty. Senten-
ces varied, running as high as eight
years and from that on down.
Phineas Eastman was given a term
OF seven and half years. The evil
dence as published In the Kansas Ci-
ty Star was certainly bad for Pat.
Pat was considered the brains
Of the organization and dangerous
man. He was the only married man
on trial, and the paper mentions Miss
Eastman, who was in Raymer, as be-
ing present at the trial.
The Star also says that Pat has
a relative who was in Congress.
We confess to surprise at the dam
aging nature Of the evidence. We
understood that Pat could be rather
radical In his talk. but we did not
think 1t possible that he would ad-
vocate violence such as seems TO be
proven to the satisfaction OF the
jury.
Poor Pat, seven and a half years
is long time for man IN his
health, and we can only wish that
he had been able TO make better
showing.

LIES FAR BELOW SEA LEVEL
Forbldding Death Valley, In California,
Was Formerly the Bed Of
Salt Lake.

Death valley. California, IL said to
be the lowest dry land In the United
States; It Is 278 feet below sea level.
The name Of Death valley Is gruesome
enough in itself, but to enhance this
effect the mountains thereabouts are
called the Funeral range.
i While Death valley Is the lowest
dry land In the country Mount Whit
ney, which Is less than eighty miles
from the point Of lowest depression, Is
one Of the highest points Of land In
the United States. Its summit being
14,501 feet above sea level.
Death valley was formerly the bed
Of . salt lake and is $50 miles In
length. A small salt marsh still oc-
cupies a part Of 1t. There are few
places IN Death valley where fresh wa
ter ls obtalnable. The best known are
Bennett wells and Saratoga springs
For the greater part Of the time
Death valley Is gigantic furnace Of
burning hot shifting sand dunes. AT
times this strange desert is filled with
wonderful colors. The air Is very dry,
and at dawn the light is very white
and minus the mist usually associated
With that time Of day. Gradually a
faint azure tint appears and deepens
above the gray-tan dunes. Az the sun
rises over the desert the pastel tints
OF sky and sands burn into brighter
shades until at noon the very atmos.
phere vibrates Into hot vividness.
Toward twilight the reds Of sky and
desert shade into deep puppies and

skILLFuL IN USE OF POISON
south African Bushmsn Had Weapon
Which In Other Hands Might
Have essn lnvIneIhIe.

The bushmen. Africa's pygmies Of
the South, who succumbed so quickly
to civilization, are becoming rarer
every day. Famine. wars and the white
mans encroachments have killed OF
thousands.
The one great achievement Of these
children Of the woods is their skillful
use Of polsons. In the hands Of more
subtle people the poisoned arrow might
nave been an inyincible weapon, but
Tor the bushman It only delayed inev-
liable defeat.
y The bushman's arrow Is a toy Of
light reed until he turns II into q
certain death dealer by covering the
tip with one Of his favorlte polsons.
a certain caterpillar Of the jungle, the
most venomous snakes and spiders,
poisonous roots and leaves all yield
their power to kill to the use Of these
natives.
Special men Of the tribe prepare the
poisons for their purpose, usually heat
ing them In dish before dipping the
Dart Into them. While waiting for their
poisonous brew to cook, the poison con-
coctors dance about the fire In excite
ment at the coming hunt or combat.
Skulklng In breathless silence upon an
imaginary enemy, they suddenly leap
up and discharge the fatal arrows,
after which they shift easily to the
part Of the victim. and writhe and
howl with all the agony Of the hunted.
Exhaustion and the completion Of the
poison put an end to this vivid re-
hearsal.

COMMUNITY HOUSE

Community. town and country.
should read it--can fail to be won
derfully impressed with what Brim-
field, Illinois, has done by reason Of
its enterprise In building Commun-
ity House.
Every reader will echo my senti-
ment in the above caption. There is
no doubt In my mind but what the
Raymer community can put such a
building across. There Is but little
doubt In my mind but that this Is
the acceptable time. Prospects are
bright for bountiful crop this CON-
ing year, but whether the crop IL
bountiful or not our people will and
must have amusement. and amuse-
ment OF the right sort In which the
community as whole can take part
is practically out Of the question
without such community center.
Such building as Brimfleld erect
ed has an auditorium with stage and
balcony for such community gather
ines as moving pictures, singfests,
lyceum courses. home-talent plays.
dances. political meetings and other
mass-meetings called for the common
good. and athletic events such as bas-
ket-ball games. etc. 1t also has q
club room with billiard and pool ta-
hles, etc. and a community library
with reading room where young and
old can come for ariussment and en-
tertainment. N the basement there
Is q dinsag room and kitchen, and
mems and women's lockers, shower
baths. The bowling alleys are also
located in the basement. Such q
building can very easily be self-sup-
porting.
Such Community House as ours
could well and profitably be located
in our public park, that block Of
ground south OF the High School
which has been dedicated to the COM
munity and h being developed for
that purpose. Our town is not 30
large now but what this would be
the logical place for such 1 building.
Our Community House need not
cost 100000 such as Brimfield
paid for theirs, but At even might be
possible to provide that amount here
II the right sort Of campaign is car
ried through. 1t will take money
and sacrifice and hard work, but the
result will be such a profitable In
yestment that Its cost will long be
forgotten before Its good Is ended
BrimAeld has showed US the way, We
can save ourselves many OF the diffi-
'culties Of organization, erection. and
operation from their experiences
which they have been 10 free to offer.

The team this year looks good Ion paper" but many things have to be con- sidered before making any rash mid-win- ter prophecies as to the probable pennant
 winner next autumn. First of all, Uncle Sam has nine Barons on his pay roll at
 this writing and just when he will ask
 for waivers on them is of course not
 known. Of this nine, no less than six their discharges soon. These three gen. tlemen will undoubtedly compose the 1919 outfield which leaves little room for complaint in that department, Ellis and Duncan are both slashing hitters and fair fielders, while Altenberg is by far the fastest man in the league, both in fielding and in running out slow ground CTS.
 At third base Eddie Mcdonald is thus far without rival on the roster, but are employed in France, according to the | most accurate information obtainable,

 Homer Haworth Debus, Coffindaffer and "Whitey" Glazner, can't all be counted
