THE LINCOLN THEATRE.
by DR.. w. H. LOWRY

(By DR.. w. n. Lowry
The opening of the Lincoln theatre
marks new epoch in the history of the
Negro race in Des Moines. The least
that can be said about the theatre is
that it is modern in every respect and
affords the best accommodations Of any
theatre in the city. The entrance has
tile floor and the doors are mahogany
finished. The interior is beautifully
decorated, wen ventilated, and has a
seating capacity Of 400. The operat-
ing room is the largest of any other
theatre in Des Moines. This room is
two power OBJ machines, latest
models. The entire lighting system of
the theatre is controlled from the oper-
ating room. The pictures are first class,
and in order to keep up to the stan
dard, contract Of 100000 has been
let for standard pictures, many the pro-
duction of the best Negro screen ar
fists.
Besides the movies, the theatre
has q fine stage, well arranged for
vaudeville. Some Of the leading vaude-
vile shows win appear upon this stage
during the winter season. The theatre
is run by Banks g. Robson. The build
ing that houses the theatre contains an
undertaking parlor, drug store and
three other store rooms. The entire
project was conceived in the minds of
Messrs. e. Tracy Blagburn and L. j.
Shelton. At the beginning, the propoo-
sitiOn involved an outlay of $3,500.O0.
Subsequent changes have increased this
amount to more than 100000. These
men, laboring under great financial
strain, and with defeat itself. starring
them in the face, continued to beat up
on the iron until their visions finally
rounded into success. s% a.-

THE UNNECESSARY VACATION.

Once upon a time a man decided
that he did not need any vacations,
Sc he stopped taking them. When
! there came lull in his business he
took on outside employment, and
he Dragged to his friends of his i'm
perviousness 70 fatigue Whenever
one of Their. began to plan for the
annual fishing or camping trip he
would say, Il have not had a vaca
ton in seven years. Not so bad, is
it?"
Now, if his friends were truthful
instead of tolerant, they would tell
him that it is just as bad as it can
possibly be; that in the seven years,
while he has increased his labors,
he has not increased his income ap-
probably; that, from one of the most
equable of human beings he has be-
come irritable and petty; that a
sense of humor so delicate, yet so
comprehensive, that it was a daily
delight to all who knew him, has
disappeared entirely; that he mag
nifies casual remarks into studied
insults, and the ordinary preOccu-
patton of people in their own affairs
into deliberate neglect of him; that
his wife has grown to hate him and
is considering a divorce, and his
children, who used to adore him as
the finest playfellow in the world,
tolerate him as a peevish bore who
las to be pacified until he gets out
of the house.

FOOD PRICES.

The Department of abor in its
has not been able to
discover any particular reduction
in the prices of food stuffs. Meat
products have declined somewhat,
but The ultimate consumer has not
noticed the difference at the butch
er shop. The farmers are talking
about q strike because they, in COM
mon with everyone else, are paying
prices for everything
they buy. A half million soldiers
left the farms to go to war and it is
estimated that only fifty thousand
have returned to farming as live
lihood, the majority being attracted
by high wages paid in the indus
tries. The expectation of food
stuffs in April of this year was
fifty per cent less than for the same
month last year, but even though
there were no exports whatever 1t
is estimated that the greatly re-
duced acreage in crops planted this
year would not be sufficient to take
care of the needs of the nation. The
1920 crop is a short one, and some
of the reasons for it are enumerated
above. 1t is reasonable to suppose
that so long as crops are short prices
will remain high.

A BIT OF ADVICE
First = Don't Delay. Second :
Don't Experiment.

If you suffer from backache /;
headaches or dizzy spells; if you
rest poorly and are languid in the
morning; if the kidney secretions
are irregular and unnatural in ap-
pearance, do not delay. In such
cases the kidneys often need help.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
prepared for kidney trouble. Ask
your neighbor. They are recon-
mended by thousands. Can Paris
residents desire more convincing
proof of their effectiveness than
the statement of Paris citizen who
has used them and willingly testi-
fies to their worth?
Win. w. Dudley, 1929 Cypress
street, Paris, says, "Some years
ago 1 found it necessary to use a
kidney remedy and as 1 had read
about Doan's Kidney Pills, 1 used
them. They proved to be satisfac-
tory and permanently rid me of the
complaint. 1 have good reason to
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills and
advise their use to anyone troubled
with weak and lame back or ir-
regular passages of the kidney Sc
cretions'.'
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same
that Mr.. Dudley had. Foster Mil

FRIENDSHIP FOR REVENUE
ONLY"

I'm the guy who never claims
your friendship except when he has
a favor to ask.
Sometimes I don't even bother to
speak to you for weeks, but when
there's something you can do for
me 1 begin calling you cold man"
and pretend TO be your greatest ad-
mirer until I've kidded you into do
ing me the turn I was after.
Then, when I've got what l
wanted out OF you, / drop you again.
By that time I'm rushing some other
easy mark that / can use.
All this bunk about true friend
ship makes me tired. Friends
don't mean anything to me unless
can make 'em pay dividends. If
can use them for something to NY
advantage, I'll use 'em. If they're
in my way, I'll step on 'em just as
quickly. "isx &1. ~l q.
So don't ever expect me to do any
thing for you-unless there's some
thing bigger you can do for me. And
even then don't count on me to do
it if you serve me first.
