MARCUS SHOW AT FORD.

The chap who said THE World do
move" was certainly veracious. The
change in theatrical productions is
no where better manifested than in
the Marcus Show of 1920, which
comes to the Grand Opera House,
Rocky Ford, Tuesday, November 9Th.
Until a few years ago the producer
who lavished $25,00O.00 on single
musical attraction would have been
hauled to the nut acadamy. Yet the
present edition of the Marcus Show
is reputed to have nicked A. B. Mar
Gus its sponsor, to the tune OF more
than S1O0.000.0O.
The scenic environment is particu-
larly elaborate. 1t is in its sartorial
garnishment that the Marcus Show
of 1920 so far out distances all riv-
ais. In the twenty-seven musical
numbers the double score of beauties
composing the famous Marcus Peach
chorus, exhibit no less than nine
hundred costumes Add to this the
number worn by the principal artists
and we find that the complement Of
habiliments runs well over twelve
hundred. Many of the biZaree gar
hamper of ample size Is required for
tho reception of each. However this
does not apply to the gossamer zeph-
yrs which bedeck Venus and her vo-
taries nor yet again the startling
bathing suits displayed in the
Bathing Peach" number. The COM
plete assortment of these can be car
ried in vanity case.

Constitution and Covenant

In his front porch homly for constitution day, Senator
Harding pronounced the League Of Nations reconcabe
with the American constitution and declared the time had
come for the United States to decide whether it would
abandon the charter under which it achieved
nationality. He declared

All of which is pure and unadulterated demagoguery-
but typical of the uterances of the craftsmanship OF the

New York, Sept. 16. - Major

there is a shortage of material, II
COMPARISONS are made with former
days of wholesale purchases from

it also is sure that youngsters are

No truer indication of this fact
could be shown than that which Is

their struggle for supreme honors.
1t is doubtful If Miller Huggins
