BASIL KING FEATURES.

,.BasiI King, in "The City of. Com rades," Tom Moore's latest Goldwyn play, to be shown at the Lyric thea Ire Monday, has the knack of trans planting real life to either the printed page or to the screen.
 The hero is man who has literally regenerated himself. but who is sud denly disheartened by the thought that his past will rise to torment him at some future time. That is the case of Frank Melbury (Tom Moore) in "The City of Comrades"
 He had originally been q respected rich mans son, but drink ruined him. His regeneration was brought about uy the kindly association of real human beings who established him in society to ask Regina Barry to become his wife, he suddenly felt impelled to tell her of his past. And ..
 Regina Barry (Seena Owen), beau tiful daughter of the rich, received his confession in silence-and then left him. But after the Halifax disaster, she realizes the depth of her affection for him, and goes to nurse him despite the fact that she has engaged herself to another.
 Then Basil King asks the question: "Is Life futile?" Is it sham? Is there no recompense for virtue? and ans wers it in the affirmative in "The City of Comrades" The sound characters of the renabilitated Melbury and of Regina, the woman, are realistically drawn and promise to make the pro duction one of the seasons pronounc- ed successes.

A RED LETTER DAY.

Easter Sunday proved 10 be record
breaking day for the Methodist people
of Manchester. The church was beauti-
fully decorated with ferns. lilies, ros-
es, and variety Of potted plants, all
arranged artistically and presenting
a very attractive appearance, and was
filled to overflowing both morning and
evening. At the morning service
special Easter music was rendered,
and after a brief address, the pastor
had the pleasure of receiving rs peo-
pie int othe membership of the church.
The peculiar feature OF this new adj
dition was the large number Of famili
es represented. In many cases whole
families came together making very
impressive scene. The Sunday school
had set a goal of $50 attendance for
the day, but reached 298.
In the evening sacred drama; "The
Challenge of the Cross" was most
beautifully and impressively rendered.
Indeed 1t is a rare thing that an aud
ience has the privilege of seeing and
hearing such touching and convinc-
ing drama, each part Of which was so
efficiently given. The Sunday school
Easter Missionary offering presented
by the several classes amounted to
$326.0 The special music added
greatly to the delight Of all. Easter
Sunday will long be remembered as
one OF the outstanding days Of the
church.

entsaf BUSINESS men ~ this city many
of whom have since laid down the bur-
dens OF life, while others are still con-
nected with the business interests OF
the town. Mr.. Keagy has been an OBJ
liging and courteous bank official, and
the bank has always placed high
value upon his services. I
For many years Mr.. Keagy has been
a member Of the board of directors OF
the bank and continues his member
ship ON this board. He is being sue
ceeded as assistant cashier by Mr.. W..
C. Currell, who has been connected
with the bank for about year, and Mr..
J. p. Sloan OF Delhi has been elected
to the position OF cashier, to succeed
Geo. A. Newman, who recently moved
to Arizopa.
The Democrat Is pleased to state
that the retirement OF Mr.. Keagy from
the active duties in the bank does not
mean that he and his good wife will
leave the city, but simply that he pro-
poses to take life little easier in the
service is deserving of vacatwillhe
years to come, II man Is deserving
OF vacation after years OF faithful
service, Mr.. Keagy certainly has earn
ed vacation.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

The City Council met In adjourned
session on Monday night, at which
the salaries of several of the city en-
plOyes was boosted, in orded to permit
the men and their families to keep
pace with the H. C. Of l.. Victor Col
lard, who has been the faithful and
trusted engineer Of the Manchester
pumping station for several years, is
to receive $135 per month. ]. j.
Mitch, city marshall, had his salary
fixed at $500 per month; s. H. Nor
gan. night watch, $500; and George
Everett, street commissioner, is to re-
ceive $500 per month, with stipulat-
ed additional sum when he works his
team.
The salary Of city manager Wilson,
has not been fixed. The council Is
contemplating giving Mr.. Wilson a
material increase in salary. It has
been quite apparent that city manager
Wilson should have an assistant. When
the City Manager is attending Ia
work for the city that takes him from
his office, patrons will go to the. office
to pay water rent and find the office
locked. This one feature alone has
caused much dissatisfaction. for which
Mr.. Wilson is in no way to blame. One
man can not look after the reading OF
meters, do the surveying for street
work, sidewalks, curbs and cutters,
and at the same time keep his office
open to the public. The council is
contemplating putting another man on
the job who will assist Mr.. Wilson
with his office work and also look af-
ter repairing meters, and give assis-
tance at the pumping station when
needed.

Through the courtesy OF County Re-
corder A. E. Dunlap, and ADstractor
n 81 Dunham, the Democrat is able
z ia give its readers some figures wnich
WIN prove Of interest to all our read
ers. Every one is familiar with the
fact that more real estate changed
hands during the months OF February
and March, 1920. than was ever known
10 have changed owners before. we
confess that when we were told what
the total figures were in acreage ana
consideration we were most agreeaDiy
surprised. These figures show the
following:
Number of farms OF twenty acres or
more which changed hands between
FEBRUARY 1st and April 1st, $40; To-
ii acreage Of 1886; total considera-
ton s8,793,791,56. The figures show
that is per cent Of the farm land of
Delaware county changed hands dur
ing the two months named. and the
average price per acre was $3.50. In
this large mass OF real estate trans
actions there were many large deals,
but the largest one In point OF mon
~ consideration was farm OF 3lS
J acres which sold for $4,000. The
largest single farm deal consisted OF
$50 acres.

and mortgage companies were rushed
to the limit during the first days OF
March. County Recorder Dunlap is

PAPER SHORTAGE IS RUINOUs

Thousands Of newspapers will be
forced to suspend publication In the
next two years, unless there is q ma
terial change for the better in the
print paper situation, according to the
Wichita Eagle.
More than two thousand newspa-
pers have "given UP the ghost" in the
past six years. Hundreds OF others
are tottering between life and death.
Scarcity and the high cost Of print
paper is responsible for the high NOR
tally rate among newspapers in this
country. And there Is little hope OF
relief In sight.
Here Is what the Wichita Eagle
has to say:
There are 22,424 newspapers pub
ilished In the United States and Can
ada. This is just 1000 fewer than
were. published in the same area six
years ago II this rate OF mortality
were to continue, North America
would be practically newspaperless in
fifty years. But unfortunately the
mortality rate will not stand still.
Present indications are that the next
three or four years will see at least
twice as many newspapers suspending
publication as the last six years have
recorded.
Scarcity and high cost OF news /.
print paper is the chief cause Of the
high mortality rate among American
newspapers. There are other potent
causes. TOD, that tend to make publi-
cation Of newspapers a precarious and
Improbable business in many places,
but it is safe to say that II the paper
problem could be solved and the cost
of paper put back where It was even
two years ago, with plentiful supplies
available. the alarming death rate
among newspapers would show q
marked decrease.
We might add to the above state
ment that newsprint at the present
time is 10c per pound and next to Inn
possible to get at that figure.
