A Soldiers Tribute.

Az veteran soldiers here we meet,
And talk Of old times long since past;
All loyal hearts we gladly greet
And welcome them while life shall last.
Time has Its many changes made
Since we were mustered into line,
But scenes Of old will never fade
So long 40 we retain our mind.
When treason stretched Its direful hand
And sought our nations life to slay,
Our boys went forth, valiant band
And by their efforts saved the day.
Our soldier dead, 30 true, 80 brave,
Their memory sweet our hearts doth thrill,
And tho they Ill patriots grave.,
The nag they saved IL with "a still.
An long a. that old nag shall wave
so long will We our homage give,
For that old nag they died to save
That we In glorious peace might live.
OF those brave boys OF 81
Only 0 scattered few remain,
And when their earthly work ID done
May they 70 heavenly heights attain.

Paris Grange Sale.

Paris Grange had one of the most sue
cessful sales In its history last Thursday.
Fruit, vegetables, aprons and fancy work
were dispensed to good crowd of pur-
chasers, and nearly everything was dis
favorable for good attendance.
One of the two quilts was disposed Of
by guesses on the length of string In q
bottle. The string measured TT ga
inches. Mrs. Rose Swsn was the winner
with guess of 72O inches. Mrs. W. W.
Ripley had registered guess of 715
inches, and was thus half an inch farther
away.
Thursday evening q supper Of beet
hash, baked beans and the other things
which 60 to make up grange supper
was served in the grange dining hall, and
the tables we're we'll filled.
Both Thursday and Friday evenings
the rural comedy drama "Deacon Dubbs"
was played to good houses, with the cast
as previously published.
The play Is typical rural comedy,
with the characters q tride overdrawn
and some of the situations just bit too
dramatically intense, as is apt to be the
case in things theatrical, but on the
whole very entertaining and amusing.
Il was we'll prepared and presented.
The role of Deacon Dubbs, the character
islic rural part, was played by Henry
Woodwork to the pleasure of all. Of
the other male parts, Amos Coleman,
the ardent and faithful lover, was played
by Glenn Ross; Rawdon Crawley, the
villain of the piece, with variety in bis
viliainy, by Almon Cairns; Major Nc
Mutt, . typical Southerner, by Leon
Brooks; and Deuteronomy Jones, the
decidedly raw country product, by
Austin Stesrns.
OF the women OF the play, Rose
Raleigh, the young heroine, with a dark
secret which finally is revealed but is
happily done away by the departure
from this life of the villain, was played
by Miss Mary Cummings; Philipena
Popover, the romantic old maid, by Mrs.
Iva Cutting; Emily Dale, the somewhat
disdainful richest girl in town, by Miss
Alice Field; Trixie Coleman, the little
mischief, BY Miss Emma West; and Y en-
ME Yensen, q native of Sweden, by Miss
Ethel Hardy. Most of these are no
strangers to our playgoers, and have be-
fore proved the kind of work they can
do.
Between the acts lullaby In blsckface
was sung by Mrs. Kate Hammond OF
Paris Hill as Negro nanny.
The second quilt was awarded to DR..
Chas. L. Buck Friday evening.
A dance followed the play Friday
evening, with music by Shaw's Jazz
Orchestra.
The net proceeds of the affair to Paris
Grange will be good sum.

screen star of the first magnitude was
never better displayed than in his
latest picture, "Three X Gordon, -
which will be shown today and tOmor-
row. Kerrigan, in his previous screen
efforts, has been pretty much Of every
sort OF a hero, from a rugged young
westerner, with all the tricks of the
cleverest OF cowboys at his fingers
ends, to the typical collegian - the
young New Yorker Of fashion. Md he
has done about all sorts Of screen act

will reveal talent as a comedian that
has not heretofore been made known
to his admirers. The scenes Of the

FOODSTUFf SUPPLY
ALMOST NORMAL
Cold Storage Has No Part
in High Cost, Ex-
pert Says
MARKETS
STEADY SOME WHAT
by the United Press.

BY the United Press.
CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-Provisions for q
Brobdignagisn banquet were cooling to-
day liz Illinois storage houses. Their
release, according TO experts OF the
State Food Administration, would have
no effect on the high price OF food. The
millions OF pounds OF meat and pro-
duce in storage is almost normal, they
say.
Sagging markets OF all descriptions
steadied somewhat today following the
announcement OF the si75O hog price.
This notice that arbitrary pricing Is to
be continued was accepted everywhere
as a good omen for the traders.
The produce market first one here TO
slump, and the first one TO claim at
tenti0n OF State officials who immedi-
ately began an Investigation when re-
tail prices did not follow the whole
sale drop, was steadior today.
Butter had sagged four cents Tues
day to as cents wholesale. Fresh eggs
had fallen three cents TO 80. Potatoes
dropped Ave to $40 and cheese fell 8
and Q cents.
Grains and grain futures rallied some
what today after a twO-weeks' period
OF sagging in which low records Tor
two years were reached. The fixed hog
price insuring a demand for grains for
feeding purposes was expected TO sup
port grains for time. Meantime yards
In the Middle West are cl0gged with
grain. In the Twin Cities la>t week 1t
was necessary TO declare a grain EN-
barge lust as IL has been necessary
periodically to prohibit the shipment
OF livestock into packing centers.
Food experts admitted a tremendous
supply OF all necessities with only arti-
ncial price fixing is keeping the cost
up.
Cold storage has no part In The high
cost OF living. according 20 John B.
Newman, superintendent OF the food
and dairy division Of the State Food
Administration. His figures show a de-
clded increase In amounts stored in IL
Ilnois now over those at beginning OF
the year. However, he said, beef pro-
ducts of which there were i2OOOO,OOO
in storage today are the only
ones above normal. His division, in ex-
istence less than a year, could not OF
fer comparisons with last year.
In round numbers Illinois today had
in the icebox 100000 pounds Of mt
ton, 32,OO0,0OO pounds OF pork, 1880 100
pounds of fish, 2i0O0,0O0 pounds OF
