Marvel Miller

''Amarilly of Clothes Line Alley
'Pollyan1a." Daddy Longlegs' and
other modern plays are among the
plays given this season by Miss Marvel
Miller, who will appear here on the
lyceum course Saturday evening,
March /,
If miscellaneous program is pre-
ferred Miss Miller, will be glad to give
selections from Molly Make Believe" 5"
Daddy Longlegs" and ''The Other
Woman"
Regarding Miss Miller's presentation
of "P0llyanna" before a Columbus, o.,
audience, the Evening Dispatch said
among other complimentary things
''She effectively assumed the dialogue
Of seven of the characters, and grace
fully revealed the charm of the story
The Alden, Ia. Times commented {:
Her Interpretation was without fault.
At no time did she lose the attention
and admiration of her audience"
The story Of ''Amarilly" is the most
recent in Miss Miller's repertoire. 1t
is known as ''the book of cheerfulnesS ("
There are many humorous situations
in the course Of the narrative and
Amarilly with her frankness, simplicity
and good nature is an ideal character.
The entire story is wonderfully well
adapted to Miss Miller's type.

WILL PURDY is HONORED
BY BADGER LAW MAKERS

William Purdy, composer of ION
Wisconsin," was honored last week by
recent resolution voted unanimously
by the Wisconsin legislature, in recog9
milton of his contribution to the state
as we'll as the university. The resOlu-
ton was in part as follows:
"'On Wisconsin has become the bat
tie song of Wisconsin students every
where. Under it's stimulating strains
the Wisconsin men went into the fight
ing on the battlefelds of France with
the same spirit which they have shown
during their football games and in
their noble and untiring efforts in civic
life 1t is fact worthy of note that
although William Purdy composed this
song, he was not university graduate
himself. 1t proves the moral influence
which the healthy daring and stimu-
lating life of our university has on the
Imagination of men,"

TWO LYCEUM
NUMBERS SOON
Filipino Players and Singers
Tuesday and Marvel Miller
Saturday, March |

Five native Filipinos will appear in
Il unique and novel program OF native
music on the lyceum course here Tues
day evening, Feb. %. These Filipinos
are known as the Filipino Singers and
players, and this company has behind
it splendid record of successful en-
tertainments.
To the resident of the United States
the Philippine Islands are a subject of
deep interest, and these native Fill
pin0s with their tuneful music are
sure to prove an attraction of unusual
quality.
The names of the members of this
quintet read strangely to the Anglo
Saxon eye. Here they are: Calixto
Llamas, Nemencio San Juan, Ciriaco
Jimenez, Miguel Decasa, Cnatalino
Olivea.
The instruments used in the concert
are for the most part native to the
Philippines. Olivea and Jimenez play
first and second bandurias, instruments
closely resembling mandolins. San
Juan plays the bago de Una, the bass
instrument OF the company and De-
casa plays on the laud similar to the
guitar of the rest of the world
The native music is not entirely in
strumental. Frequently during the
concert members of the company sing
native songs which are attractive not
only because Of their musical quality,
Y%.I.
pinOs appear in native costume.

LESLIE KRUGER WILL
BE TRIED FOR MURDER

Leslie Krueger, one of the family OF
draft evaders implicated in the fight
with a posse of troops and federal
authorities at their farm south OF
Withee last September, was brought
from Camp Grant to Neillsville last
Tuesday and is now in the county jail
awaiting trial with the other members
of his family OH charge of desertion
and murder. He was taken from La
Crosse, where he had been held for
several months, to Camp Grant, where
he was given to military authorities to
be tried on desertion charge. Be
lieving that ii he was brought to this
county and tried on a charge of MUIR
der he would receive longer sentence,
the federal authorities turned him over
to Clark county officials and he was es-
corted to Neillsville Tuesday by two
soldiers from Camp Grant.
A secret service man who was in the
city Tuesday in connection with evi-
dence for the state, stated that the
trial of the whole family would un-
doubtedly take place at Neillsville
about March Oath or 25th. He init
mated that many would be subpoenaed
although they pleaded complete ignor-
ance of any knowledge regarding the
early actions regarding war.

THIS SECTION SHOULD

The request is preferred by the dis

The population of this territory was
in 1910, $4,000, being then two-fifths
of the total population of the state.
The same proportion exists today.
The male voting population of these
counties is approximately 100000.
The area of this territory is 21,00O
square miles, over one third the total
area of the state.
Within it's limits there are undevel
Oped water powers amounting to 3OO,-
600 horse power developed powers of
more than 100000 horse power; up
ward of 10000 telephones; more than
5000 miles Of main and branch line
railroads, about 400 miles of electric
railways; 10000 miles of long distance
telephone lines; 1000 miles of tele-
graph lines more than score of cities
with local gas utilities, and upwards of
40 with publicly and privately owned
water systems.
The railroad, telephone and tele-
graph rates affecting all these COM
munities and the large and small job
bing centers have been arbitrarily
raised during government control,
without reference to the bearing that
arbitrary and horizontal raises have
had upon the commercial and indus
trial fortunes of localities which have
been built up on old rating systems
which have taken into account ton
nages, seasonal demands, etc. With
the restoration of state control, unless
complete and sympathetic revision of
these rates is made with the help of
someone familiar with and sympa-
thetic with the industrial and CONNER
cial conditions which have been built
up, there is danger of grave disturb
ance of existing industrial and COM
mercial relations.
This territory has never had a rep
resentative on the Wisconsin Railroad
Commission. On the eve of prospect
i've great development it believes that
such representation is due it, due its
potentialities of growth, and recipro-
cally due the whole state from the
standpoint that the section under dis
cusSiOn cannot have its growth pro,
NOTED without consequent benefit tC
the whole commonwealth.

Campaign To Raise Money
Needed BY Government
Will Be Started i'm
April
CLEAR BILLBOARDS FOR
VICTORY LOAN POSTERS
All Old Posters For Various Cam
paigns Should Be Removed
at Once

Owners of billboards in the various
cities and villages of the state have
been asked by Mortimer l. Stevens,
state director of publicity for the Vic
tory Liberty Loan campaign, to get
their billbOardS in readiness for the
coming Liberty Loan campaign in
April.
Hundreds of thousands of tattered
old posters from former patriotic
drives still cling to walls, fences and
windows throughout the state, accord
ing to Mr.. Stevens.
1T is recommended by the heads of
the district and state organizations
that citizens everywhere get their
premises in order for the new loan"
said Mr. Stevens. Great patriotic
enterprise was displayed by the people
of the city and state in offering WIN
dow space, billboards, the walls of new
buildings being put up and other space
for the posters of the various Liberty
Loans and for the Red Cross, War
Fund. War Savings and other such
Positions that money
could not buy in the usual course of
0eace time propaganda were offered
free to the government and to the semi
agencies helping to care
for the armed forces. Property own
ers and tenants allowed their places of
business and residence to be plastered
over with these bills
"The patriotic gift of this space,
however, will not be complete until all
old posters, with the exception of the
new War Savings posters have been
and everything made ready
for the new posters now being printed
in Washington, 100000 Of which
are to be sent out. 1t is greatly de-
sired by the loan officials that no trace
of former literature be left to compete
with the appeal of the Victory Liberty
Loan posters. The old posters have
long since disappeared from the regu-
lar billboards, but thousands are still
IN evidence in empty store windows, on
fences and building walls"

have been just your speed to gallOp up
the road and swing into position and
start firing OF course it wasn't all pie
and honey for the Germans were no
slouches with artillery and they had
an unlimited supply Of gas and high
explosives and took great delight in
keeping us up all night with our gas
masks on. But we gave them plenty
of their own medicine and had as much
fun out of it as they did. Anyhow af-
ter we got started it didn't take us
four years to put them over the line
and make them holler enough. We
took hill 304 at Verdun in forty min
utes that the French had been trying
for four years to take; and when you
stop to think that there were more
shots fired in the second battle of the
Marne in four minutes than there were
in the four years of the Civil war you

quires no moral drawn because he who runs
may read.
The international labor conference now
in session has brought to an issue sharply
divergent views. The open or the closed
shop will never repeal the laws of thrift. It
is an inalienable right for the individual to
endure. He cannot be eliminated in any
social plan. The freedom of his voluntary
action must be preserved. The right to or
ganize with his fellows in labor union is
as sacred as the right to remain out of
union, but not more So One right presup-
poses the other.
If an employer prefers an open shop,
every law of the state or government must
protect him in that right If another
chooses the closed shop he is to be equally
protected. This principle is not subject to
arbitration. If it be made matter of gov
eminent action or of arbitration an intol-
Grant minority will intimidate Congress and
the executive until the closed shop will be
the law of government as we'll as private
life. 1t is to be regretted that the tendency
of all closed shops is to restrict production.
Piece work is not fixed at the limit of the
capable, it is fixed at the average which
forbids the skillful from taking the wages
of his ability. He is compelled to submit to
an economic slipping to reduce him to the
level where the mediocre may meet him.
Instead of providing an incentive for the
unskillful to reach higher level of produc-
ton, the skillful is dragged from his level
down to the lower, where diminished pro-
duction results. Labor at last in the circle
of prices saws off the limb on which it is
sitting. Everything the wages of labor
buys reaches high-price level
