GUY BATES POST HERE
Famous Actor in "Masquerader' at
Grand January Z.

Guy Bates Post will be seen at the
Grand in his tremendously successful
play THE Masquerader." The great
American actor has attracted a ca
pacity audience at every performance
turnout his tour and despite the fact
that advance interest is such as to
warrant a much longer engagement
than he is usually able to play there
will be but one performance given in
the Grand January Z.
Post presents brace of astonishing
characterizations in John Chilcote, NJ.
P. and John Loder, Canadian jour-
nalist. The two are physical doubles
but moral opposites. 1t is with rare
and subtle art this distinguished star
portrays the Idiosyncrasies of the
drug addict, John Chilcote, who re-
nounces his worldly affairs and forces
Loder to take his place in parliament.
Impossible tho the whole scheme of
it may appear in sober analysis, Post
makes everything seem plausible and
possible while the performance is go
ing on. The American stage has seen
no such dramatic performance in
years
Richard Walton Tully's wizard hand
is conspicuously in evidence in the
marvellous scenic settings aQd effects.
The company supporting Post is a
remarkable one.

CHANGE "FAlR" PRICES
Committee Backs Up on Statement

In an effort to be absolutely fair to
the grocers, Chairman Kemper said,
the county fair price committee late
Wednesday decided to give them some
respite from the price restrictions re-
Gently clanped on. The price list was
revised on some articles at an eXecu-
tive session OF the committee.
The drastic egg reduction, whereby
the grocer would have to sell fresh
eggs at so cents and storage ones at
40, will not go into effect tomorrow
as previously decided. The time was
advanced two weeks to January Is.
The coffee list was cancelled and
blanket clause authorizing the
grocer to make 9 cents profit on the
net wholesale price of each brand
was substituted.
We will depend on the honor of
the grocers to observe this ruling"
Kemper said today. Some merchants
have made as high as IS cents profit
on coffee"
When asked his reason for revis-
ing the list. Kemper said, I'VE want
to be fair to the grocers. There was
much criticism by them of our meth
DDS and We made the changes to show
them that we desired to be absolutely
square with them. Also, certain in
forma ton brought to our attention
convinced us that the retailer was
not to blame for the prices on certain
GOODS. FOR instance, since our price
list was fixed the wholesaler has adj
vanced his coffee prices cents a
pound and refuses to return to the old
scale. This made necessary a change
regarding coffee"

to function. will it not. Mr.. Kemper ?"
the fair price head was asked
"Oh. yes, we will go right on with
our plan Of work, and the egg price

The Farms Big Outlook.

The world is in delirium. The
world war fever makes it so. Bus
mess is abnormal and subnormal.
Some industry is at high speed
and other at low tide. Price lev
els have mounted high. Wages
have climbed to dizzy heights in
shop, factory and furnace. The
city has lured the human moth in
to its belly. The reaction is as
sure as nature s law that day fol
lows night. After the war, what !?
Will the fever leave the patient
emaciated and lean? Will city
industry be hit and hurt. To
large extent-yes. The one in
dustry that is always safe to fol-
low is the husbandry of the farm.
when war has had its way and
waste, nations will turn instinc-
lively to the soil as the source of
natural weilth and prosperity.
The fires Of many furnaces will
die out. Countless chimneys will
cease to vomit smoke. The MAX
ers of machinery and munitions
Of war viii languish and cease to
fatten. The farm and farmer will
be the cornerstone upon which
will be builded a new nation with
new ideals Of living. The meal
ticket grower will have front
seat and be in the imelight as
never before. Own the land. Till
the soil. Tie to the farm. The
tide will reverse and flow from
city to rural regions. Think it |
over. Get a vision of the future.

pride, it might have made wider
appeal at first, but it is faithful
to the human heart in its final
needs. 1t makes no appeal to ou1
pride or dignity; these are on the
surface. 1t offers itself with out
money and without price. Many
prizes of the world are given to
the educated or the cultivated,
or to the intellectually great. Here
is the one gift offered to all in
virtue of their simple humanity.
Here is the only equality, the on
ly realized democracy. Time has
tested the cross as it tested all
things remorselessly. 1t has been
established in all ages, widely diff
ferent in their culture. 1t may
be urged that Christians by their
theories have done their best to
discredit the cross. But even they
have not been able to Illustrate
the constant Redeemer. He re-
mains the same. The cross stands
the test in all weathers. It is no
fair weather friend. We judge
our friends not so much by their
love in times of prosperity, but
by their loyalty in adversely. The
wonder Of the Christian faith lies
proven in such days as these when
the cross seems to be the only
thing left to many. In WEAKNESS
He is strong, in bitterness we find |
Hi very sweet. The affinity I'll |
the cross for the poor and the
despised in their extreme need is
it's great commentator to us in
an age when we have to fight for
our very life with a doctrine
which has no value for the indi-
yidual life. How faithful is the
,ross in days when we are stiff
ed by the horrors of a system
which looks on the weak as tools
n the hands of the resourceful |
md the strong! 1t is the pledg |

ID men. Other proud and loud
ounding systems have broken

A Home z.own Fable.

Two fool jaekasses-say get this
i dope
Were tied together with piece
of rope.
Said one to the other, lyon come
my way,
While / take a nibble from this
new mown hay"
'I won't!' said the other "You
come with me,
For l too have some hay, you
see. r
So they got nowhere, just paved
up dirt,
And Oh, by gollyl that rope did
hurt,
Then they faced about, these stub
born mules,
And said, "We're acting like hu-
man FOOLS"
"Let's pull together, I'll go your
way,
Then come with me and we II
both eat hay" =
Well, they ate their hay and lik-
ed it too;
And swore to be comrades good
and true.
AS the sun went down they were
heard to bray;
"Ah! this is the end of a perfect
day."
Now get this lesson, don't let it
pass
Learn this one thing from the
poor jackass:
We must pull together, It's the
only way
Tn get on the map, and then to
stay.

One by one earth s ties are broker
As we see our love decay,
And the hopes so fondly cher
ished
Brighten but to pass away.
One by one our hopes brighten
AS we near the shining shore,
For we know across the river
Wait the loved ones gone be-
fore.
A precious one from us has gone
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
God, in his wisdom, has recalled,
The boon this love had given,
And though the body slumbers
near,
The soul is safe in heaven.
We miss thee from our home, dear
mother,
We miss thee from thy place.
A shadow Ger our life is cast;
We miss the sunshine of thy
face.
We miss thy kind and willing
hand,
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without thee
We miss thee everywhere.

FINDS GOAT GLANDS
BIG AID TO HEALTH
DR.. Stanley Tells The Star Of
Wonderful Success in His
Medical Tests.

| Doctors have as yet found no elixir
of life that will stretch the span of
| existence to any undreamed-of length
| beyond the allotted threescore and
race of Methuselahs by a simple oper-
alton. But If the chances of per-
| fectly healthy man to 1inger on are
| greater than those of an invalid. and
the insurance agent tells us they are,
then monkey glands and goat glands
| will do it. according to DR.. L. L. Stan
ley. the famous gland specialist, who
| was in Washington yesterday as the
tguest of Marshall Pickering, sergeant at
| arms of the republican national COM
mittee. and talked at length to
reporter from The Evening Star or
| his Investigations and the outcome of
| his experiments in the past three
years.
He believes that great strides in
| the medical world will be made by
the transposing of glands in the 1u-
ture, as even now, when this process
IS in the experimental stage. great
success has been attained, and that,
since all the investigation has been
centered on one particular gland. the
possibilities of interchanging other
glands are infinite, he said.
Experiments With Prisoners.
Dr. Stanley is the state physi clan
connected with the prison at San
quentin, Sstil1., anu has iidu oppOi
tunity to try out his methods on the
prisoners, who voluntarily offer
themselves for the painless operation.
Splendid results were achieved in al
most every case, and the greater num-
ber of patients were we'll pleased, he
said. Unlike DR.. Veronof of Paris. who
uses the glands from the monkey. DR..
Stanley uses those Of ram, and be-
lieves them to be the more satisfac-
tory, even after many successful ex-
periments with the human gland.
DR.. Stanley believes that he has dis
proved the theory that mental diseases
and locomotor ataxia can be cured by
these methods, but he thinks that he
has proved conclusively that a general
upbuilding of the system can be
brought about, with renewed vigor.

INVESTIGATE BURNING
OF US. MAIL PLANES
Post Office Officials Seek Reason for
Recent Accidents and
Deaths.

Investigation Of the causes of the
burning Of two Of the governments
new all-metal airplanes this month,
which resulted in the death of four
persons. has been started" by post
Office officials, Army air service off,
GERS and civilian aeronautical en-
gineers. The probe was ordered by
Otto Praeger, second assistant post
master general. following the acci-
dent to one of the all-metal mail
planes Tuesday at Pemberville, Ohio,
which caused the death of Air Mail
Pilot Walter Stevens and Mechanician
Russell Thomas.
Postal authorities have no doubt
that there is some defect in the gov
ernment's all-metal mail planes.
The trouble is to be ascertained.
Postmaster Praeger stated, and cor
rected as soon as possible. Reports
gathered by Mr.. Praeger led him to
believe that the defect is in the sys-.
tenn. Of feeding fuel to the engines of
the new planes.
The first accident to the new all
metal air mail planes, occurred Sep
tember l. when one piloted by Max
Miller, of this city. en- route from New
York to Cleveland, fell in flames at
Morristown. N. j., killing the aviator
and his mechanic. The accident Tues
day was similar to the one Septem-
ber 1. and finally convinced postal
authorities that something Is radically
wrong with the system of feeding gaso-
line to the engines Of the new planes.
The investigation is expected to be
completed by Saturday.
