viii Vote On New Herd Law.

Prominent Umatilla county farmers
have succeeded in placing before the
voters of the state new herd law, a
substitute for the Ritner law declar-
ed unconstitutional last year. The
new law will come before the voters
at the November election. The pro-
posed law has already been declared
constitutional by the state attorney
general.
Instead Of the proposed law pro-
viding a criminal penalty for viola
tions Of the act, civil action is made
possible. Damage done by stock can
be assessed against the owner Of the
stock. Stock found running at large
may be taken up and sold for cost
after regular proceedings are complied
with.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

The Grand Lodge of Mississippi, Free and Ac-
copied Masons, has menorialized the legislature
to pass a law requiring all school teachers to take
an oath of allegiance to the State and the Nation.
The suggestion is a good one. Every officer
and every employee Of the Federal Government
has to take such an oath, and a similar. obligation
is required of all county and State officers and
members of the bar.
The resolution adopted by the Masonic Grand
Lodge, among other things says:
1--WE demand that the highest type of manhood
and womanhood may be secured as teachers in
our public schools, that they be paid generously,
and be required to realize that loyal, efficient SER
vice will be expected at their hands.
eve demand that all teachers employed in our
public schools be required to take an oath of al
legiance to the State and Nation, particularly in
all matters affecting the free public system, as
against any other influence whatever"

E Y "EASYMARKS"

Laurel is a dandy town." remarked a strang-
er who visited this office yesterday. ct is the
easiest town l have struck in a long time" he con-
tinued, "and l like it."
And he was in earnest about it. His game was
a Pocket Guide" consisting of an eight-page
folder containing the arrival and departure of
mails, lodge meeting dates and a few other it
ems of information, with advertisements at top
and bottom. The scheme is as old as the hills and
used to be worked by every hobo printer between
New York and San Francisco, until it was ruled
out and sat upon and repudiated by the city
Boards of Trade and commercial organizations.
But the bewhiskered scheme worked in Laurel
and it worked beautifully, and our friend of the
road was simply delighted.
Just why a real business man will fall for such
a thing we do not pretend to know. But they
will. At least the merchants of Laurel did-and
any one of them will frankly confess that it was
a sheer waste of money.-Laurel Daily Leader.
Just a few days ago the business men of { Green
wood were hoodwinke by perhaps the same fell
low who succeeded in parting them with a snug
sum of their coin for a so-called Pocket Guide
folder. 1t does seem that business men would quit
such foolishness.

WATCHING THE WILDCATS

The Yazoo Sentinel calls attention to the fact
that millions of dollars in worthless oil stocks are
now being offered to the people of this country,
and urges that prospective purchasers make care
full investigation before they buy stocks from
strangers. There are some good oil stocks, of
course. Fabulous fortunes have been made in oil
wells. Other fortunes will be made in the future.
Never before within the life of the present
generation was money so plentiful and, seemingly,
as easy to get. The sharks who prey upon the
gambling instincts of humanity know this, and,
despite the efforts of the government officials to
see that only legitimate business literature goes
through the mails they are flooding the country
with their tempting offers. Of the offenders the
oil stock operator is the greatest, though there
are hundreds engaged in selling stock in imagin-
airy companies that are supposed to make fortunes
for their investors out of everything from a new
kind of shoe-sole to an airship.
Uncle Sam can't watch all of them, so you'll
have to. He advises, however, that before you in
vest a dollar in any stock you visit your nearest
banker and get his advice on the subject. Ano
this advice is mighty timely now when the mails
and the daily papers are filled with bats and de
lusive snares to trap the man with a dollar to In
vest. We want to see everyone, our felloW-cltlzens
in particular, make all the money they can. That's
why we are suggesting that they invest it only
after careful investigation into the concern which
appeals most to them.

Taking money from a husbands pockets in the

But Jersey City husbands might discipline him a
bit by working the recall on him. There are things
which can be too much advertised.

BUYING

A noted southern writer, in speaking of profit-
eering and extravagant buying says: "a wolfe
on display at $3.50 can be made for
Sc, including material at profiteer's figure. A
taffeta dress marked $75 can be made for $35
or even less. You would be surprised to know the
wholesale price Of the suit you have on If these
things are true-as no doubt they are it is appal-
ing to think how the laws of God and man, against
usury and robbery, are being trampled under foot.
Men are bartering their characters, if not their
souls, for money. The Shylock will take his pound
of flesh if you give him the chance. These con-
ditions cannot continue. Families in ordinary
circumstances better not buy $75 or 500 suits.
Better keep some of this cheap money; it will buy
a great deal more, a few years hence.

Booking arrangements and the weather
are two uncertain things in this city.
During this week Indianapolis has
housed one Of the largest crowds in its
history and for the hrss four days of the
week English's was dark and the Murat
was ablaze with The Greenwich Village
FolIies.
The Murat did not do the business that
the Follies deserved, as this tuneful and
well mounted revue, employing the serv-
ices Of several splendid fun-makers,
stands high in the class of entertainment
to which it belongs.
The weather and the fact that revues
and musical comedies are coming In a
bunch at the Murat are taken by the
writer to be the cause of the apparent
slump at the AIurat box office this week.
indianapolis is fortunate in getting re-
vues of the type of the Greenwich VII
lage Follies, especially with the cast, and
the weather should not have interfered
with the patronage if people here insist
on the big city shows.
Another thiRg~has confused the public

week for an opening at English's on Oct.

The moral Of this little chat is to pat
ronize high-class entertainment when 1t

The downtown box office Of the new
civic music series of concepts has been
opened at the Edison Shop.
This series is managed by Bradford

Nine. Frances Aida on Oct "a.
Mary Garden will appear, with assisting
artists, on Dec. r. and the course will
close on Feb. 20 with recital by Rudolph
CAM.
These concerts, which were announced
last week, have created a great deal of
interest in Indianapolis.
They will be given on Sunday after
Moons at the Shubert Murat Theater.
Season tickets only are on sale now,
and material reduction is offered over
the single admission prices.
It has been some years since any OF
the artists, Aida, Garden or GAM, have
appeared in indianapolis.
Aida is today one Of the worlds great
sopranos, is the wife of Gatti- Casazza
Of the Metropolitan Opera Company, and
sings leading roles with that organiza-
ton.
Mary Garden is perhaps the most
unique personality on the concert stage.

In The Land of Make Believe

Reports of conflicting nature have
reached the city regarding the reception
of Booth Tarkington's new play in New
York City.
We submit the following report of
Dixie Hines Of New York on this show |:
"Poldekin." comedy by Booth Tark-
ington, has George Arliss as the chief
character.
1t is a trenchant preachment against
Bolshevism, and a telling tribute to the
freedom and institutions Of the United
States
1t is not without sentiment and comedy,
and Mr.. Arliss, as a sort of devil may
care beloved vagabond Is charmingly
whimsical.
A group Of Bolshevists assigned from
Russia to come to the United States and
sovietize this country, bring this soldier
of fortune along with them because he is
a printer.
They are not highly successful in their
efforts, although they work faithfully In
the cause.
The denouement comes In the last act,
when several packages of presumed in
cendiary literature are brought to them
by the printer ready for distribution.
It Is the "call to arms"
The rooms are raided at this oppor-
tune moment and the police, seeking evil
dence, unearth the packages, which they
proceed to conhscate. 81
They prove to be nothing more harmful
than a reprint OF the Constitution Of the
United States and the Declaration of In
dependence, substituted by Poldekin for
the Red literature.
\ There are moments Of real charm when
Mr. Arliss Is engaged in his recitals OF
experiences, when visiting Washington
seeking the meaning Of American" when
watching the crowds at q baseball game,
when describing to a blind man New
York
They are effective BITS and the play
deserves a far greater measure Of sue
cess than was achieved.
Carl Anthony, E. G. Robinson, Sidney
Toler and Manart Kippen gave excellent
performances among the men, and Julia
Dean and Elsie Mackay on the distan
side.
One OF the most effective performances
was that contributed by Mr.. Kippen as
a evolutionary leader.
