SICK-A-BED SHOWING AT THE
GEM THEATRE TONIGHT

Full of unexpected situations and
sparkling lines, "Sick-a-bed." Ethel
Frumford's three act farce, to be
presented by the Cloninger players
at the Gem Theatre, Friday, Septemb-
er "a, is one of the most ingenious
plays of the season. 1t bubbles with
laughter and is an absolute dispelI-
er of blues. The play was originally
made famous by Wallace Reid.
The play deals with young man
who to avoid being taken into court
to testify in a proposed divorce case

feigns sickness. The story Ia woven
around many mirth provoking COM
plications that evolve from letters
written by the supposed patient and
an infatuated doctor to the nurse.
The situations are so complex and
cleverly handled as to bring this
play OF the top of the list of comedies.
Ralph Cloninger plays the part of
Reginald Jay and his Interpretation
of the character is faultless. It is a
part that admirably displays the fine
ness OF his acting, and one I'm which
Mr.. Cloninger is at his best. Miss
Florence Stone and Miss Evelyn
Hambly handle the leading feminine
roles and their clever acting makes
these characters bright spots in the
play. The entire cast has been care
fully chosen so that each member is
at his best

Coal Profiteers Face Prosecution.

Washington, June I7.-Atty. Gen.
"A. Mitchell Palmer has instructed all
United States attorneys to seek in
dictments in all cases of profiteering
in coal, following complaints to the
department of justice that bitumin-
GUS coal is beieng sold at exorbitant
prices.
Production cost figures gathered
by the federal trade commission
from 1859 bituminous operators. i'll
the principal mining regions, produc-
ing approximately 90 per cent of the
output, show that in January, 1920,
the cost per ton averaged Saga at the
mines. Since then there has been
an increase of 81 per cent in the cost
of labor, bringing the production
cost to SAG per ton.
Complaint has been made at the
department that the price of blum
inous coal now tanges from 81 to $II
at the mine.
