Entertainment Course.

The opening entertainment OF the
course arranged to be given in the
public hall, Rising Sun, this fail and
winter was by The Floyds, in mys-
terry and magic, on Monday evening,
and the slight of hand tricks and
illusions were all cleverly performed
and proved both entertaining and
mystifying.
While the hall was well filed
there are still goodly number of
unsold tickets. The talent engag-
ed is all of a high order, and the
course worthy of the most liberal
patronage and support by the public.

Nobody Loves An Auto Speeder.

The only remedy for the speed
maniacs who rush over Route ISL is
Jail. To date sufficient accidents
have occurred on 1S1 to warrant
the placing of mounted police be-
tween West Grove and Sylmar. The
distance between these points is
about 16 miles and could be termed
the Oxford section. The travelling
public must be protected by the
State or graveyards hereabouts will
have to be enlarged.-Oxford Press.

HAITI AND ITS OPPORTUNITIES

HAITI AND ITS OPPORTUNITIES
 Not only has Hayti been occupied by the United States Marines but it is now undergoing business occu- patton, said Sergeant Nelson in charge of the local Marine Corps re- cruiting station 15 Fairfield avenue. ''It is already well established in the little republic of the south seas and especially in the capital at Port Au
 Prince It is going to be the real salvation of Hayti from the barbarism
 that the little republic was 1apS1ng back into. Hayti is going to be in the near future truly Americanized
 country, because the protection of
 placing Marines on outposts on and near every plantation, has had such an effect and to such an extent that
 it has caused the expulsion from Hayti, of all the German citizens who threatened the American success. When the United States entered into the treaty with the republic some few years back, they sent there old stand bys the U S. Marines down to keep things going and make living there safe for the few Americans who ven tured to invest their money in some of the many promising industries i Since that time the population has in creased and things are going well. What few Americans who invested , their money there but a few years
 back are growing rich and all invest
 ments are paying big dividends. You
 must remember said Sergt. Nelson. "Our money is five times the value
 of theirs, 20 cents in American
 money is equal to dollar in theirs.
 There are numerous opportunities
 there for any young American fellow and the proper way to get a start in 1 Hayti is through the Marines. Any young man can enlist in the Ma
 rines and after two years living ] among the people of Hayti he can | pick up their language and also dur ing that same time he can save a few i hundred dollars and invest it and in
 a very short time have a real start in life. Even in the service in Hayti | there is numerous opportunities as all
 the commissioned officers in the Gen
 darmerie are non-commissioned of
 ficers from the Marines They re-
 ceive in addition to their regular Ma
 rine Corps pay, the pay of a lieuten-
 ant, which amounts to over S200 per month American money. Sergt. Ne<t son says he is anxious to have as many of the local boys as are inter ested to call and talk it over witt { him and enlist for at least two year: 3 and go to Hayd- Ex-army men O ex-marines are invited to call as thi l is one of the best opportunities in an! 3 service at present.

Every spring, long before the de- parture of the fleets of steamers that carry the commo dities of commerce for Nome and other Alaska ports, there sails from Puget Sound a fleet of smaller and much more daring vessels that do not wait for the ice in the Arctic seas to clear. These motor schooners of the Arctic are the ad- vance agents of spring, for they fol- low the edge of the ice northward. Many of the boats are strictly trad CTS, loading a cargo of goods of all kinds on their decks and in their holds before they leave Seattle to trade with natives along the northern Alaskan coasts for furs, walrus, ivory and other valuable products of the Arctic.
