Two and Half Hours Of Fun
Is Provided by Nora Bayes
and Company at the Grand

Those who laughed for two and half
hours at the Grand opera house Satur-
day evening, will probably agree with
the conclusion that Miss Nora Beyes and
her company in Ladies First have a
refreshing and delightful entertainment.
That would be true if it were only
Nora Bayes. she of the old days and
the vaudeville stage, and at that Nora
isn't old-for she is as clever as ever
and has more opportunity in this show
than was ever possible to crowd into
a vaudeville act. Miss Bayes will ap-
pear at the Grand this Sunday even
ing and her show is worth seeing.
Ladies' First" is happy little love
story-just enough of plot to keep in
nlind-garnished with number of
songs, some of which inger in the mind
as a theme melody through the story.
That is true. of Just Like a Gypsy"
most acceptably rendered by Miss Bayes
in the first act, and "What Can a Girl
Do," another offering by Miss Bayes
assisted by the girls of the company.
This latter song is used most effectively
for parody purposes by the men of the
company later.
The story Of Ladies' First is the
modern version Of Charles Hoyt's "A
Contented Woman" brought up to date
by Harry b. Smith. according to the

SNEEZES AND

NEW YORK, Nov, S. Sneezes and superstition cost many lives an nually in India.
 This was the statement of Dr. Anna Degenring of the Woman's Am erican Foreign Mission Society. who has just returned here, on years fur tough after IA years as doctor in India.
 "A sneeze means great impend- ing calamity to the Indian n,ind," said Dr. Degenring. Whatever happens on the day that one hears sneeze is sure to turn out ill, and the Indian will enter upon no understanding of importance on such day. Many of our patients have refused to have op- erations on which their lives depended on the day that had been arranged, for, because they happened to sneeze that morning, or even. to hear some one else sneeze."
 Indian belief in suspicious days is another "hobgoblin" in the path of the medical missionary there, Dr. Degen- ring said. Soon after an Indian child Is born, the Soothsayer reveals to the family its lucky star and it's lucky days. Indians who fall i'll or are hurt in an accident persist in waiting for their suspicious days before sending for a doctor.
 The Indians, the physician explain ed, attribute epidemics to the wrath of various goddesses of ill health. add ing there is goddess of malaria and goddess of smallpox - god dess. in fact of every recurring epi- demic."
 Though they believe in goddesses, they are hard to convince concerning germs and they have no idea of quar- antine for contagious diseases, Dr. Degenring said.

INTERESTING SERMON

A fair sized congregation, consider ing the inclemency of the weather, as- scmbled at the Methodist church last evening to hear the Rev. Duane Earl Carter discuss the subject, "The man who did not want to be president" This is the modern way of stating it, for in olden times it was the man who did not want to be king. Saul was the man, and though he had been chosen Yet when they expected him to be pre- sent he was not there. Inquiry was made of Jehovah who answered, Be hold, he hath himself among the bag gage"
 Saul waS a study in contrasts" said Rev. Carter; Gin fact every man IS q study in contrasts, that is, every man has in him traits that may lead to either good or evil. We often look into the faces of young men and young women and read there the signs or great potcntiality for good. We right fully expect much of them. As we ob serve their course and watch their de. velOpment we wonder in some inStan ceS why they have chosen companions lacking in high ambition and in spirit gal power. Often in matured life tho contrast is so strong that the noble qualities of youth are no longer rccog- nizable. -
 Saul was the cho en king of Israel. Much was expected of. him, though rs tin worthless fellows said, "How shall this man save us? Later in life Saul deserted his God and paid vis- it to the Witch of Ehdor. Many in these troublOus times turn from their God and take the oija board for their advisor, forgetting other high ideals and the fact that We are studies in con traStS and then see to it that the con traSt in mature life is an improvement and enlargement upon the highest ideals of our youth"

Stewards Future. is. .Asgured.

Bill Paterson. who marries tonigh: a very sweet and loyeable woman had a rather aggravating but amusing cx- perience the other day. It seems; that Bill has selected a certain house in she. town for the Mrs. Paterson-to-be. The windows of the house needed washing so Bill in one of his generous moods engages certain colored lady to per form the necessary operation of re-
 moving the dust and dirt from the window panes. Said colored lady was industrious!y doing what she had been hired to do when Bill informed h
 hat he would show her how to wash them windows. He grabbed the cloth and climbed out on the sill and pro. ceeled to demonstrate how it should he done. Suddenly the DOlt that held the window up slipped and the window decended, pinning Bill to the sill. He ,ouldn'tget the window back up and the indignant colored lady would not and could not assist him because she was busy laughing at his predictment. Finally when Bill had cussed himself out and the colored woman had laugh. ed to her hearts content, she raised the window with the remark. Guess 1 understands now MT. Paterson how you all wash windows.

NOT THE ALASKA RAIL ROAD

BUCHAREST, Rumania, Nov, g. If Americans feel that their subways, railroads and trolley cars arc crowded conditions in Rumania and other parts of the Balkans are worse. Railroad traffic today in Rumania is SO great shat passengers ride on the roofs of every train by the hundreds. When the tops of the trains are 50 crowded that. they can hold no more, the pass engers cling to the running boards, ride on the bumpers and even on the under-framework of the car. The fare is the same whether the passeng- CT rides in compartment or on the roof of the car. Accidents are fre- gucnt. Often when a train has entered tunnel q number of passengers have been swept off the roof to their death. The congested traffic is due to the small number of locomotives and coaches available and to insufficient trackage. Most of the country's rol- ing stock Was carried off by the Ger mans or destroyed. Some of the loco, motives and cars have been replaced but the number is far from adequate A large American locomotive concern has contracted to send a. number ot
 engines here, taking in payment a
 quantity of oil.
 There are at present less than 3,-
 900 locomatipes in Rumania, includi ae
 the newly acquired provinces of Tran.

CLEAN STREETS

NEW YORK, Nov, B. The large cities of Europe in the point of clean iness and tidiness of streets are far ahead of New York, Chicago, Cincin. nati and many cities in America, says Clyde A. Copson, manager of the An. ti- Litter Bureau of the Merchants Association, who has just returned from a trip of observation in Europe
 "In some sections of New York, "he said, can see more street litter in one square block than in any one city I visited abroad. Paris and London are models of cleanliness and comparative. ly free of street litter of any descrip- tion. This is due to the fact that the people abroad are more tidy than we who live in America.
 ''The city of New York couptensnc- es conditions that none of the, cities which I visited would tolerate for q moment"
 MT. Copson said that Landon has the best organized Street, Cleaning De- partment in Europe, Glasgow, tin poorest, and Paris has the best gar : bage disposal system. }i::.s Referring to taxi-cab drivers snt' all chaufeurs abroad, Mir. 'Copson's 1 statement said that they "seem t. know their business and when in trou- ble, or about to run down apedestrisn they apply the brakes instead Of :toot. ing horns. The chalffeurs, in New York do just the opposite, hence fthe greater number of accidents and; n0is- es.S @,l& Zaa ;,
 "Newsboys and vendors in London ? he added, "do not shout their wares but instead carry signs on which is printed in large letters the important news headlines.

 The total trackage in Gsater Ru- mania is about 1O,500 miles. This has to serve an area of nearly 300, 900 square miles and g population of 1s.- ooo,OOo., Many of the steel rsil,sssre slj most entirely worn out and the road beds are in need of major -fepairss Ru. rnanian railway officials say that Ann erican railroadmen and engineers would do we'll to investigate business prospects in Rumania. Railroads must be constructed. and others double tackled. The country, will require an enormous quantity of railroad SUD- plies to ,re-equip and recpnstruct the lines that suffered during the war. Bridges also, must be built, cannals cut and harbors extended.

MONEY SCARCE

STOCKHOLM, Nov., &. Sweden is suffering from a scarcity of money and an abnormal economice situation. This is reflected in the report of the State bank for September.
 The money shortage depresSes the stock exchange where prices of bonds and shares have touched very low level, even old established industrial enterprises wrich pay dividends of 10 to lS percent being quoted below par.
 Causes to which Sweden's unsettl- cd condition is attributed here include the socialist program, emanating from the present government, such as the investigation whether socialization of industry and commerce lies within the borders of possibility, heavy taxation, an increasing demand for higher wag-
  es and the labor unrest.
 Adding to this, the growing debts to foreign countries through unnec- essary imports, and decreased produc- tion ascribed by many to the eight hour day, one obtains picture of the present economic position of Sweden.

MO(JN'TAINEERS TO CAMP ON
 WILD SIERRAS

SAN FRANCISCO, April 22 (by As sOciated Press). - Mountaineering clubs of California already are per fecting plans for the coming summers outings in the highest and most rug ged regions of the Sierra Nevada Recent reports of heavier snowfall in the mountains than had been expected have greatly pleased the leaders, for they say it assures beautiful water falls and fine trout fishing.
 The Sierra Club, second largest in, the United States, with a membership of 2,O00, has 355 applications for ad- mittance to it's party, but has decided to limit it's personnel to 200, because of difficulty of providing pack trains and commissary for a larger number in the rough country to be traversed. This next will be the nineteenth an- nual outing of the club, and from Bos- ton to San Francisco men and women are overhauling sleeping bags and camping costumes in anticipation.
 The Sierrans will spend their vaca- tiOn among the peaks and valleys of the Middle fork of the Kings river, the North fork of the Kings, and the South fork of the San Joaquin. They will climb snowy peaks more than 13,000 feet high, pass through canyons 5000 and 5000 feet deep, and make camp at the base of the wonderful Tehipite fall, 1900 feet high-a rival of the Yosemite.
 Two main parties of the Sierra Club will leave San Francisco and Los An geles July 2, in Pullman cars. During the following four weeks they will sleep in rain-proof bags, and at least part of the time their only eating utensils will be tin cup and a spoon There will be as many women as men on the outing, and most of them will wear mems attire.
 The California Alpine Club of San Francisco, which last year on it's first outing climbed Mount Whitney, high est peak in the United States, will start it's two weeks excursion this year from the General Grant National park, July Il. From that home of the tremendous sequoia gigantea trees their schedule calls for such rapid travelling that only fifty seasoned men and women hikers will be taken. From a camp in Vidette Meadows, at an alti- tude of $500 feet, climbs will be made of Mount Keith, University peak, Mount Stanford, Deerhorn mountain and Junction peak, all topping 13,0OO feet, and of Mount Brewer, considered one of the most difficult ascents in the Sierra Nevada.
 Returning, the Alpine party will visit

Columbia should becom a farmers
convention, an organization covering
all Middle Tennessee.
Increased Tenantey DeerIed
Some of the outstanding features
gathered from the meeting as a
whole, were that agriculture is now
passing thru a critical period and
that farmers must meet the situation
by linking themselves together; that
increased tenantcy must be stopped
and the drift from the farm to the
city checked if agriculture is to de-
velop as it should. 1t was emphasiz.
ed that the increase in tena1tcy not
only means that the best of the farm
lands will soon he depleted, but it is
social and political problem, for it
can not be expected that those who
have no abiding in crest in the land
or community will contribute as much
to the development of rural life as
they would If they owned the land.
The need of more home orchards
and their proper management, care
of the farm woodlands aid the rec
