Section headed the list in securing
contributions for it. At the eleventh

LARGE AUDIENCE EN-
J0YED CLASS PLAY
HIGH SCHOOL PLAY GIVEN ON
THURSDAY EVENING AT AR
MORY GREAT SUCCESS

The 1919 Class Play of the Willis
aon High school was given at the
Armory on Thursday evening, May
8, to q very appreciative audience
The fact that the play, "Rebecca's 3
Triumph" has long been favorite
with amateurs and that some Of those
in the audience had taken part in
presenting it during their own school
days, did not detract in the least from
the interest, but rather heightened
it. Leona Vohs as the orphan, Edith
Serum as the old nurse Of the family
who adopts the little girl, Alpha
Boe as the Erich Lady on the Hill"
who later proves to be the orphan s
aunt, and Doris Rundell as the mis-
chievous girl who in the name Of q
mysterious man, carries on clandes-
tine correspondence with the old maid,
played by Viola Hagen, were leading
characters, all well taken and strong
ly played. Bernardine Champion, in
the role of "Crazy Mag" who is not
really crazy, but Stimulates mad
ness as a disguise, and who later
proves to be the sister Of the "Rich
Lady on the Hill" and the mother of
the orphan Rebecca, had perhaps the
most difficult role of all, and elected
the most personal applause. Fan
nette Poasonault as the colored girl
and Margaret Bennett as the Irish
maid were particularly good. The
girls of the Cooking club, although
in dramatic sense minor chare cters,
counted greatly in the success of the

Former Soldiers
May Wear Uniforms

Theact of Congress approved on
February %, 1919, provides that any
person who served in the United
States Army during the present war
may wear the uniform after discharge
provided that it shall include some
distinctive mark to be prescribed by
the Secretary of War. The red chew
ron has been precribed to be worn by
discharged enlisted men in recognition
of duties performed in the service Of
the country. This is now designated
as the distinctive mark required by
the before mentioned act and will be
worn by discharged officers and en-
listed men alike. This also applies
to discharged officers who accept
commissions in the Officers, Reserve
Corps, until called to active duty,
when the red chevron will be removed
A chevron will be worn point up mid
way between elbow and shoulder on
the left sleeve of the coat or over
coat and on the shirt when worn with
out coat. It is unlawful under the
National Defence Act for the uniform
to be worn by discharged officers OF
men without this distinctive mark,
and the offende renders himself
liable to civil prosecution and punish
ment by fine not exceeding $500, or
by Imprisonment not exceeding six
months or both fine and imprison-
ment.

time in the plant at Pittsburg, the
center of the largest coal district in
the United States, spoke as follows
II wish from the bottom of my
heart that I could entertain you as
well as you have been entertained to-
night, and return to you bit Of the
inspiration which have felt in seeing
in town this size community gath
ling together understand on short
notice-and with so much vim and pep
and good hearty people in it as ! see
before me tonight.
"Mr. Darling and started on a
journey about the middle Of March.
Having been a college professor for
! good many years-which Mr.. OAR
ling twits me Of rather often--you
know it is a habit of college profess
ors to stay pretty well at home. But
since the middle of March / have got
ten to feel quite like travelling man,
and under Mr.. Darling's instruction
I have acquired number Of their
habits and traits. (Laughter.)
Mr.. Darling: "When get through
with him he will be a real human
being!" daughter and applausc.)
Mr.. Hood: (Continuing.)
II will confine myself more or
less to generalities-to some of the
greater problems, Mr.. Darling hav-
ing given you quite clearly some Of
the details Of our problem. / think
it is bit Of interesting that there
should be at this time representatives
of two parts of the great Department
Of your government here with you to-
night. Turning to Mr.. Williams.)
Wehave never met each other before.
We are, however, neighbors in the
great new building that has been put
up in Washington, the largest Gov
ernment building in Washington =
the Interior Department. Under
Secretary Lane this department has
prospered. 1t has stated to the coun-
try, I believe, little more clearly
than it has been stated before what
it is all about. What is the Inter-
ior Department Of the Government?
Some people say it is sort of waste
basket in which all the odds and ends
are placed. That is hardly true. l
believe it to be that Department of
the Government which serves the in
dividual in many Of his own undertake
ings. It is that part Of the Govern
ment which takes care of education,
which takes care of Indian individual
ity, the reclamation and irrigation
Of land, and appeals to the individual
and so might l go on naming the
several bureaux that are in that de-
partment. Now, your irrigation work

coal on earth. In early days it was
thought that Pennsylvania had the
largest fields and the best coal.
When this coal is briquetted it will
be the equal of the best PENNSYLVANIA
coal and can be sold for less. In the
treatment we propose the coal will
be broken up and the by-products
will be used. We know what to do.
The thing is to- run a plant, show a
profit and use the products. Gas
will be produced and this coal is the
best gas producer on earth, bar
none.
Now, as to the market for these
products. The figures show that
this territory, the Dakota and
Western Minnesota, is supplied with
coal the haul of which is upward of
1000 miles. You have got this ter
ritory at your mercy,-the two Da-
kotas and Western Minnesota.
That territory alone will take up
more of these products than you can
build plants for in the next ten
years. As to the price-I expect
to be interested in that plant, and l
am not nping to make any rash pro-
misses. But those briquets will be
far under the priceof anthracite or
Of any eastern fuel. l won't say
anything about Ignite because
Ignite is not fuel.
Then, of course, there are volatile
oils, also your valuable coal tars in
this The expense of refining them
is too great, and we don't propose
to do it-just ship them in the raw
state. We may use some Of the
light oils, such as creosote, which is
valuable for treating leather and
wood. We may take that out, but
ammonia, we don't bother with that.
When we come to double our busi-
ness, we will probably take out some
Of the ammonia and phosphates, and
hope that by that time some of your
gentlemen-under the stimulus of
your experimental farm and reclama-
ton service, will be ready to put
some of the fertilizer on the land.
l want to let my associate, Mr..
Hood, have something to say" Gap
plause.)
Mr.. Burdick, in presenting Mr..
Hood, remarked that he had never
before had the privilege of talking
to an audience of millionaires, but
that he was addressing millionaires
now, because he knew that everyone
there had some Ignite.
