FISKE O'HARA
COMING SOON
Popular Actor viii Appear in De.
corah at Grand December IA in
"Springtime in Mayo"
ROMANTIC COMEDY .
- IN THREE ACTS
One of the Best Plays Mr.. O'Hara
Has Ever Appeared in and
Cannot Fail to Add to His
Popularity.
The annOuT

The announcement of the pros
pective visit of Fiske o,Hara, Ameri-
cas- leading actor-singer for his an
nual engagement, should be the
means of crowding the Grand opera
house to its limit when this popular
favorite comes to town, under the
direction of Augustus Pitou Inc,
"Springtime in Mayo" IS the title
of Mr.. O'Hara's new play. 1t is a
romantic comedy drama, in three
acts, written by Anna Nichols Duffy
as it's title suggests, it's scenes laid
in Ireland. According to overland
reviewers, "Springtime in Mayo" is
a play with story to tell and the
skill to make it alive, a swiftly NOV
ing drama of real men and real
women, told with a swing and vigor
of expression which go the the max
ing of an appealing and stirring
play. The role assigned to Mr.. O'Hara
in "Springtime in Mayo" is one, Of
the best in which he has ever ap-
reared and cannot fail to add great
ly to his popularity. Always a strong
feature of his performance, HIS ex-
ceptional tenor voice will be heard
to advantage in a number of new
songs. The scenic investiture is COM
plete in every detail while the bring
ing together of the clever supporting
company is in itself a notable
achievement.

interests in Iowa will be we'll repre-
scented in the legislature this winter.
There are many farmer members
elected to the assembly and others
whose interests are close to those of
the farm. Hence legislation calculat-
ed to help agricultural interests is
sure of favorable consideration.
There are not few pressing prob
lens in agriculture in Iowa which
will seek legislative relief. Among
them are the problems of markets,
credits and land tenantry.
1t Is probable that some of the laws
which the farmers will ask of the
coming general assembly will be
along the following lines: Long term
leasing of farm lands; long time
credits; cooperative buying and sell
ing; requiring railroads to grant
sites for cooperative elevators.
Goyernor-Elect N. e. Kendall is
known to be deyoting considerable
time to the study of essential Iegisla-
ton beneficial to the agricultural i'm
terests. The state republican plat
form as adopted at the state con-
vention committed the party to work
along this line.
Another important matter which
may come before the next Legislature
is the Industrial court law such as
Governor Allen secured in Kansas.
1t Is reported unofficially that the
Kansas governor Is scheduled to
COM to iowa in December to speak
ON, ths> Industrial court in view of
probable Legislation on this subject
before the Thirty-ninth gem
eral assembly. There will be con-
siderable opposition to this bill in
Iowa however. ..t as

ANOTHER LETTER
FROM ITALY
Carl Arneson, Son of Mr.. and Mrs
Otto Arneson of This City
Writes, Another. Interesting
Letter.
HADN'T SEEN THE
SUN FOR TEN DAYS
Dampness Nearly Thick Enough to
Cut, and Darkness After 4:30
p. NJ. Too Thick to Cut.
Dear Folks:


The melancholy days are here.
Oh! quite different from the the self
same days in U. S. We have no
naples to- shed colored leaves and
frost, which by the way doesn't set
in until December, doesn't affect the
pines. But that nor the fact that
there is no prospect of snow this or
any winter does not lessen the said
state of melancholia for we haven't
seen the sun for ten days, and it
has been just one continual rain,
drizzle, rain with a few hours hard
blow and lightning to break the
monotony. The dampness is nearly
thick enough to cut and the darkness
after 4:30 p. m. and before 500 a.
IA. is too thick to cut. Ashore every
thing is mud, mud, mud, mud so full
CT cement that the companies here
send 1t straight to the U. S. as list
grade Portland. When this dries on
the clothes and shoes INT couldn' t
get it off, The Boroughs, (hard
storms lasting from a week to fifteen
days. will set in about the 1st of
November and that will mean isola-
tlon sure, unless one happens to be
ashore when they start, that being
a case of Mr.. Weather Man signing
a furlough for you for no boat can
live in Borough. Mr.. Kirwan sent
in the following recommendation to-
day and need I say that l value 1t
more than the rate can ever mean
to me. He couldn't treat me better IL
l was his own SON James. Then on
top of that he says, I'VE have been
working too hard, I guess we had
better run UP to Venice pretty soon
for rest Shall We? Course I said
that l would rather stay here than
60 to Venice, Paris or anywhere ???
you tell 'em Dynamite, I'm too
explosive.) Anyway I have my little
grip packed and have kicked my
raincoat and Jugo-Slave VS. English
look into the further corner of my
wardrobe and have restored my
Italian grammar to my desk for fur
ther reference. / must steel myself
for the terrible ordeal Of re-adjust-
ing my temperament to fit civilian
of leisure, for he always rents a
suit of civilian clothes for me in
Italy. The uniform is rather not
liked since Wilson took Fiume and
Pola away from them. Needless to
say this advancement, if pass, will
bring extra jack and then the First
National will be honored with deici
Eesos of Uncle Sans hard earned
mazuma. We hope to move ashore
soon, but its hard to tell when the
Admiral will give the order. Per-
sonally this room is too comfortable
to make me regret the fact very
much. Well folks, I'm getting short
of stationary and Mrs. Kirwan's
house warming Is only a few hours
away SO for today Au Revoir.
Lovingly,
Carl

/ wish to let you know that | am

cine, so l thought | would write to

agent here for this medicine. As /
am using the medicine and taking big
orders through them, it might as well
be better if | will be the agent and |

it, because / was very thin wom-
an before, but now | am twice stout

these few ideas, because there are
some people already that are asking
me to sell them few of my bottles,

DIPHTHERIA IN IOWA.
Assuming Epidemic Proportions In
Several Cities.

Des Moines, Ia.-Diphthe Is APP
preaching epidemic proportions in
Iowa, according to the state board
of health. This is due, it Is said, TO
the uncertain weather that comes AT
the change of seasons. People chief
iy the younger generations accord
ing to the health officials, assume
that the weather is not yet cold
enough to warrant their bundling
and yet find it too chilly to
themselves up in warm winter
clothes; and yet find 1t too chilly to
go without such clothes comfortably.
The rusult is sickness. ~.
Diphtheria records at the state
board of health office show, is cpl
demic now at Ottumwa, Dubuque and
Abba. Ottumwa has requested and
been granted state aid to cope with
the situation. The disease Is also
prevalent at present at Des Moines,
Sioux City. Waterloo, Fort Dodge
and Charles City. A number Of 9TH
er cities, large and small have re-
ported cases of it.
A noticeable feature of the pres
ence of the disease is the fact that
it has caused next to no panic. This
is due, 1t is thought, to the careful
treatment which the victims receive.
Diphtheria patients are nowadays in
variably isolated and so cared for
that the community runs minimum
of risk.

TIME PASSES PLEASANTLY.
Guests at Vacation House Regret APP
proach of Time to Leave.

Editor of The Reformer:-
The days are swiftly passing away,
and soon our stay at Mantle will be but
a pleasant memory. All seem to regret
leaving, as the time has passed very
pleasantly and we have been made very
happy and comfortable in spite of the
fact that there has been an entire
change in the staff of those who minister
to our needs and keep the place homehke.
We were at first very sorry there must
be change, but everything has gone on
very smoothly, proving that however
capable we may be in our positions
there are always others who may replace
us when we fall out, and the ranks be
kept full. The weather has been fine,
sometimes almost too cool, and many
nights two blankets have been necessary
for our comfort.
We all enjoy sitting on the broad
piazza overlooking the water, and when
too breezy we can go inside with our
books and work.
| We have many good books, mostly
| furnished by the Sunshine society, to
which we are very grateful and they
add very much to our entertainment, as
do the papers, and among them YOU may
be sure The Reformer is ioyfully hailed
and its pages eagerly scanned for news
| from home. ,r
! We have spent one delightful day at
Ocean Breeze, going thence by trolley and
returning to New London in time to at.
tend the pictures. where Mary Pickford
amused us in Heart of the Hills, which
was very good.
We are all blessed with good appetites
and the meals have been excellent il
spite of the H. c. of L. and / am sure il
those who follow us are as happy as
we have been, the season of 1920 may BIZ
called success. We never forget the
Kindness of the good man who made pos
sible the Vacation House at Mantle.
