The Old Homestead conirss to the
 HAvis .4

Those who love sweet music and those who enjoy the scent of new moWn hay can have their several tastes gratified by a visit to The Old Homestead. That charming play has
 been before the public for thirty two
 years and is now on it's thirty third
 annual tour. It is the same simple
 story of rural. life in New Hampshire
 that it was way back in 1885 when it, was first produced as a finished drama
 at the Boston theatre. And for eleven years prior to that MT. Thompson had been presenting a play called Joshua
 Whitcomb in which he portrayed the sturdy old farmer Uncle Josh." And even before that time Mr. Thompson
 had given for some years in Variety halls, a sketch, having Uncle Josh as it's central figure. So taking it all to- gether the character of the kindly
 New England farmer, Uncle Josh, has been before the theatregning pulp
 lie for nearly fifty years. The dra- matic critic hesItates when he att tempts to write anything new of The
 Old Homestead when a character has
 become so identified with the Ameri-
 can stage as has Uncle JoSh," by a
 life of over two score years, the poet
 may well falter in the effort to say
 anything new. And yet this must be said. DenmanN Thompson in present
 ing to the American stage a typical American character as it had never been presented before, endeared him. self to the theatregoing public and made for himself a niche in the Tenn
 pie of Fame as an actor and author. Augustus Pitou. Inc. are presenting a brand new production with all tho l famous features of former years and a l typic al Homestead cast headed by ! William Lawrence as Uncle Josh.A 1 The play comes to the Davis theatre i Thursday evening, Jan. p. Prices. 1 25c, soc, $1.e0, $1.5O, plus the war tax. 1 Seat sale Tuesday at 10 a. m.

 Those few Willimantic residents who learned of the arrest of four Reds at Norwich Sunday, and a few others who learned of their arrival in this city early Sunday evening, crowded into the waiting room at the depot to see at. close range just what a bol- shevik really did look like
 The four alleged Reds, who were being taken to Hartford on the S.1O train, had come up from Norwich by automobile. and without anyone being the wiser they had entered the station and sat down to wait for the train, rhsca was about one hour late. No one paid any attention to them until the word was spread that they were Reds. and then the crowd began to gather. and in order to protect the men the federal authorities took them into the baggage room. where the crowd could not interfere.

WHAT IS THE NATTER?

What is the matter with the In
terstate Commerce Commission? 1t
is supposed to know all about the
railroad question, but its actions
fail to show more than a knowledge
of how to keep up dividends on
watered stock For the high cost
of living the railroad management
is largely responsible. Holding the
monopoly of rights of way it has
been able to sacrifice service to the
personal gain of railroad magnates
and to interests closely connected.
AS the biggest landholders in the
United States, the railroad corpora
lions have derived much unearned
increment from the enterprise and
industry of others. And this an
earned increment is included in the
values on which dividends are de-
manded. As the biggest land spec
ulators, these corporations have
helped to block production. Thus
they have been the biggest active
factor in boosting the cost of living
Nevertheless they have gone before
sion time and again and pleaded this
very increase III the COSJ OF living
as an excuse for increasing rates
and boosting the cost some more.
And the Commission has yielded
each time. The latest increase is
estimated to yield 81 ,5OO,OO0,OO0 in
crease to railroad revenue. Some
time ago Walter Hines, director of
the Federal Railroad Administra-
ton, figured that increased railroad
rates mean an increase of five times
that amount to the consumer. So
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has practically ordered an in
crease Of $7,500,000,O0O in the cost
Of living if Mr. Hines may be ac-
cepted as an authority. Consum-
ers had better tighten their belts.
But-What is the matter with the

WHAT THEY DID

The campaign is over and here is
what the two old parties did dur
ing that campaign:
They threw mud at each other
over the question Of which was the
dryist.
They used all the time between
nominations and election day dis
cussing the League of Nations COW
enaut, just as the United States Sen
ate had done before them
They never touched upon single
subject Of vital interest to the peo-
pie right now, such as the high
cost of living and profiteering.
They studiously avoided mention
of the railroad question because
both parties are afraid the people
will find out they are both respon-
slble for that unspeakable outrage
on the people Of the United States,
the Cummins-Esch law
They didn't say anything about
the Shields bill which will give
away the country's water power to
corporations.
They didn't say anything about
the Jones shipping bill, which will
transfer to the shipping trusts hun
dreds Of millions OF dollars worth
of government property.
No, no, they didn't discuss things
of vital interest to the people now,
but behind the League of Nations
camouflage they continued to do
what they had been doing -fooling
the people.

Red Cross does not require so much

Having alleviated the sufferings
of millions in war the Red Cross is

The Man and The Job.

| Listen young fellow. Something is
doing. Something you are vitality in
terested in.
The chances are that within a few
months nobody will be picking soft
Jobs off the bushes.
II you have a good steady job
make love to it. If you haven't it's an
excellent idea to find one and es-
Etablish martial relations with it.
You know it is failing of US
young fellows to assume that moth
ing is likely to change to our detri-
ment. That's the opinion of youth.
But after we've had few long years
of more or less bitter experience we
are not so cocksure. That's the
school of experience referred to by
the adage as being a hard course of
study but thorough.
Just now along with the readjust-
ment in everything else there is COM
ing a readjustment of Jobs and the
men who hold them. There has been
a time when the men could accept"
better jobs than they ever had Of
fered or had been able TO secure.
Men WHO do not size up to the job
got it, had it urged on them. There
were many more jobs than there
We're men to do them. Right there
was where we all flourished like the
green bay tree. The Jobs hunted us.
It's different tho, very much differ
ent when We hunt jobs. So. along
with the other adjustments, will
come the readjustment of the man to
the job The test will be the ability
Of the man, not the urgency and ex-
igency of the job. Right now a good
job with a long outlook isn't tearing
its hair looking for anybody with two
legs and two hands and eyesight.
It's beginning to pick and choose.
1t always has happened and it is
pretty sure to happen again. When
things slacken up the man whose job
means something to him besides the
time he puts In will be working and
the other who has laid down on his
will be wondering where the pay
check Is coming from. The capable
man who has played fair with his
Job will hold it as long as the job
can keep its head above water. The
incompetent and Stacker will be out
and nobody but himself will take
much notice as to fwhether or how he
gets in again. The man who has
profiteered service will get about the
same sympathy as the man who
profiteered in potatoes and had them
rot in his warehouse.
Business houses, factories and VEN
lures Of all kinds are taking stock
and watching the future closely. Best
take stock yourself and your job.
Why not? A job goes bankrupt on a
man who neglects it just as a bust
ness fails or a factory breaks under
bad management. We are going back
to the standards of peace. In prices.
In men. In jobs.
That's all but it is a mouthful. It's
history. It's fact. It's certainty, 1t
can't be anything else. Because it is
elemental and basic, the principle Of
a competitive system that is not like
l. a II.
We know and the only path of hum
an progress. Men get paid for results
They gain fame and place by service.
It's question of production. or fill
ing the job. And the best man for it
will get it and the man who deserves
to hold it will keep it.-Marshall-
town Times Republican.
