CHAS. RAY AT GRAND.

What could be more appropriate than that Charles Ray, who has played so many country boy heroes on the screen, should be the leader in an old-fashioned barn dance held recently at the big Thomas H. Ince motion picture studio? The occasion was the completion there of monster dark stage for the taking of night pictures. Mr. Ray and his company had just finished their new picture Red Hot Dollars, which will be shown at Haubers Grand today.
 Several days were spent in turning the stage into an exact reproduction of a big country barn. When all was finished, chickens perched on the beams, horses were in the stalls, and a real rural orchestra struck up the music Mr. Ray and his pretty lead ing woman, Gladys George, led the dancing They were appropriately clad and went through the measures of the Virginia reel' and "lancers with true bucolic abandon.

MYon T. Herrick, BEST Mind"
on Rural Credits, Confers
With President-EIect.
BY JACK ROYLE,
Iaterna tiosaI News Service.

MARION, Ohio, Dec. 23.-Farm
finance, practical politics, and Cabi-
net capabilities occupied the field Of
discussion between Senator Hard
ing and his visitors today.
HERRICk IL AUTHORITY.
Those visitors included. among
others. Myron T. Herrick, Of Cleve-
land. banker and former ambassa-
dor to France; Fred w. Upham.
treasurer of the Republican Ma
t!onal Committee; and Harry M.
paugherty. one OF the President
elects closest political advisers.
Herrick Is regarded as an al
thority on rural credits. To him
many OF the details OF the farm
lean act are attributed. His ex-
perience as ambassador at Paris In
the early days of the great war
has given him a close insight into
European conditions and his name
has not been absent from the vary
ing lists OF Cabinet possibilities.
Upham, II is believed. discussed
not only national financial problems
but the deficits which face the ma
tional committee. 1t has been freely
rumored that his counsel would have
considerable weight in the naming
Of a Secretary OF the Treasury.
CABINET SELECTION SOON.
Indications, backed by the highest
authority. that the new Secretaries
OF State and the Treasury might be
announced and begin 10 function In
an investigatory and advisory manner
before March 4, has increased spccula-
tion as to the selection for these
posts.
1t has been established beyond
question. 1t was stated at Harding
headquarters, that Charles f. Hughes
and Philander c. Knox are under
serious consideration for the former
position. The fact that Governor
Sproul OF Pennsylvania. came to
Marion especially to advocate the
candidacy Of Senator Knox Is re-
garded here as most Significant in
connection with Pennsylvania politics.
SENDS LEGION MESSAGE.
Senator Harding. according to
authentic reports, expects to have
three members of his official family
determined before he leaves Marion
for the South in January. Around
these, it is said, he will build the re-
mainder OF his Cabinet. each member
OF which will be pledged to pro-
gram of departmental reorganization
and retrenchment.
Discussion of Senator Harding's
plan for an association OF nations
with the leading minds" of the ma
ton probably will be concluded by
January Is, it was announced.

TOWN OF CLAYTON SHOWS
A "CLEAN BILL Or HEALTH
PROPERTY OWNERS COMPELLED
TO CONNECT WITH SEWER
Sanitary Cups Used at Soda Drink
ing Fountains and Clean Premises
Is a Rigid Rule of Local Board


Clayton is far ahead of the aver
age town of the State in the matter
of sanitation. For about a year the
local Board of Health has been MAX
ing an earnest effort to enforce the
sanitary laws, and the results are
now apparent. The work of COM
pelling property owners to connect
their homes with the public sewer
has been pushed so vigorously that
only about 30 houses remain uncon-
nected and work is about to be start
ed on these, as final notices have been
served. AS rapidly as plumbing is
installed the insanitary Outbuildings
are abolished, and it is estimated by
the local authorities that within
three months there will not be an
outbuilding in use anywhere in the
bullt-up section of the town. This
is condition for which every town
should strive for until our towns are
properly severed unnecessary sick
ness and deaths will continue.
That the orders issued by the Clay
ton Board of Health are intended to
be observed is shown by the prosecu-
tion several months ago of about a
dozen property owners for failure to
clean up their premises after due
notice. Fines and costs were collect
ed IN every instance and the nuis-
ances were abated as well. The Or
ders of the Board are now respected
and complied with. If every board
Of health in the State would issue
only such orders as it intended TO
enforce there would be far greater
respect for the Board and much less
difficulty in the enforcement of its
rules. The health rules of a COM
mumty are passed for the protection
of the citizens of that community and
all thinking citizens will uphold the
authorities who enforce them as thew
have in Clayton.
Special mention should also he
made of the fact that soda water and
other soft drinks are dispensed in
single service (paper) cups at the
Clayton refreshment parlor. as the |
1lthy, common, improperly cleaned |
glass that is still allowed in manv |
Delaware towns, is absolutely pro |
llblted by the local board of health. |
II the patrons of soda water foun-
-ains IN every town would refuse TO
innk from the glass that they would |
not think of using at home until |
after it had been thoroughly washed. |
The proprietOrs of such establish |
ments would soon install the sanitary
paper cups.
