Mr Page, the commencement era

a few remarks. In his address MI
Page dweit on the influence or tNc

also laid emphasis on the personal IN

The communities around Appleton
and Neenah and Menasha, are already
ibenefiting by the communities studies.
Meetings are held at intervals and en-
tertainments and programs arranged.
The programs are always progressive.
Oftimes when talent is lacking in many
communities, the entertainments will
be transferred from one branch to an
other
Not only recreation needs are taken
care of but the community spirit is
awakened and unity of purpose is in
sured. The citizens have grasped the
need of rest rooms. In one town the
need was called to the attention of
the Commercial club with the result
that within a week room had been
rented and fitted up to take care of
the organization.
Another illustration Of the work be-
ing done was In the town of Hollan7
dale, Wis. The town wanted library
and the city was unable to furnish it.
The local Red Cross branch found a
suitable building, added fresh paint,
shelves, attractive curtains and al
ready had sent for the first supply Of
books. which are to be furnished by
the library commission. Volunteer
workers are to look after the place
and are planning social functions to
raise money for further equipment.

BADGER HEALTH
CENTERS BUSY
Many Campaigns Are Now Being
Conducted to Teach Public
How to Keep Well.

The health center of the American
Red Cross chapters is considered in
dispensable In Wisconsin. This is evil
denced by the large number Of cases
handled.
About 10000 people in Brown coun-
ty, Wisconsin, stand a better chance
Of good health since the Red Cross
health center has been opened at Green
Bay. The center is operated by the
combined efforts of the Red Cross, the
city health department and the state
disease departments. There are II
paid workers represented in the activi-
ties, which include general health, den
tai clinics and general health work.
The majority of the chapters have
planned health campaigns throughout
the state. Many already are under
way. In many instances free dental
clinics for children will be operated
under the direction Of the health CEN
ter. This has been SO in Lacrosse,
Wis, where the chapter expects TO ex-
tend its work to chest clinics this win
ter.

WISCONSIN SCHOOLS
PLAN HOT LUNCHES

The school hot lunch is being ad-
vocated by a number of workers
throughout Wisconsin as a solution of
underweight among school children.
In many of the rural schools of the
state the plan has been carried out
with much success.
Many reasons have been given for
the small percentage of schools that
have carried out the hot lunch plan
lack of time for the teacher to prepare
the lunch, lack OF funds from which
to provide it and lack of cooperation
on the part of the parents, many Of
whom feel it is a new-fangled idea
and most unnecessary.
All of these problems are being
solved in the communities by the Red
Cross through demonstrations of sim
pie methods of preparing the lunches.
With the coming of the hot school
lunch as firmly established institu-
ton, better nourished children and bet
ter students should result.

Great Value of Redwood.

Redwood lumber is largely used on
the Pacific coast, as 1t has great nat
ural resistance TO rot and fire. Heart
redwood when placed in contact with
the ground will remain In good cOndi-
ton for 25 years or more, whereas
great many other species rot out In
few years. The redwood heartwOOd
is also able to repel the attacks OF de-
reproducing fungi. because OF the
presence of tannin. oils and resins OBJ

Comparable Costs in Putting up Pub
lie Buildings Like Sanatariums.

The following letter from DR.. M.
S. Hosmer, Medical Superintendent
of the PureAir Sanitarium has been
sent to members of the county boards
of the tree counties interested in
the Sanatorium:
Some years ago when we started
out to secure a sanatorium for the
three counties, the sanatorium could
be put up at an expense of thoa-
sand dollars bed, but the war came
on and the Inflated prices increased
the price to about three thousand dol
lars a bed.
After the completion of our Sana-
forum and at the inspection by the
State Board of Control, they were
much surprised that we had secured
so large and fine building with the
money expended.
A private report on the building
proposition from large firm of ar
chitects in Chicago, gives q trend of
building costs. Inasmuch as many
persons who are interested IN build
ing projects are in quandaTy re-
garding the trenr of building costs,
we are pleased to send our opinion.
We have already had some evidence
of lower building costs. The ques-
ton arises as to how extensive the
decline will be.
There is absolutely no new build
ings started. Buildings has stopped
on most of the buildings that were
started earlier. The result is that
labor and material prices are falling
and common labors, carpenters, and
masons, seeking work, are numerous
in the vicinity of Chicago. Ineffi-
cient men can be replaced by more
efficient, until an entire organization
is again almost as efficient and pro-
ductive as in pre-war days.
This reduction in volume of new
buildings has been occasioned by a
number of factors-reduced banking
credit, and the ineficiency and short
age of labor. Little can be done until
the banking strain is relieved. The
best banking opinion is that by spring
it will again be possible to take
building loans on nominal basis.
The decline irf price of some build
ing supplies will continue and will
spread into materials not now effect
ed. Contractors no longer glntted
with work. will be content with a
smaller margin of profit.
In view of all the facts that are
bringing around there changes, we
have come to the conclusion that we
will see the lowest prices for num-
Der of years, in the spring of 1921.
We would urge you to take the
necessary steps, to take advantage of
these prices, the first step being the
preparation of the plan. The owners

DowN in New York an investiga-

DOWN in New York an investlga-
ton is being made into the cause
for the high price of soft coal and
since the investigation was begun
the price has dropped to less than
FIVE dollars per ton. In Washourn
the price of soft coal is $l4.35, while
the price of hard coal is but a trifie
higher. being SLABS, which leads us
to believe that possibly an inves-
tigation would not be bad idea.
We do not say that the Northwestern
Fuel Company has anything TO do
with the setting of the price OF coal,
lat we do know that somebody some
where is responsible and If an IN
vestigation in this state will do what
an investigation did in New York
then lets have the investigation by
all means. Less that five dollars
for coal in New York and nearly
fifteen in Washburn is some differ
ence which we do not believe IS

IT is but fair to note that even in
the "solid south" they broke loose
from tradition and voted for Harding
in the last Tuesday election. One
or two states that have always been
considered in the Democratice column
swung to the Republican side this
year which leads us to believe that
the south is finally waking up and
refuses to longer be rubber stamp
for the Democratic party.

that Mr.. Harding oeprecates the

THAT Labor does not always vote
the way the would-be leaders would
have them is indicated by the land
slide for Harding last Tuesday. For
some time it has been reported that
labor was going to cast q solid vote
for Cox for President. But did they
do it. On the contrary the labor
wards throughout the country voted
for Harding which leads US to re-
mark that Labor cannot be fooled
all the time by the leaders.

ANNUAL APPEARANCE OF THE
DUBOIS PLAYERS OF OMAHA

On Thursday evening, June 3, the
Dubois Players presented their an
nual offering to an auditnce that fill
ed Brandeis Theatre to capacity. A
play by these amateur thespians has
been an event to Omaha colored folk
for the past several years, and the in
creasing ability of the members of
the organization to interpret and pre-
sent plays that call for real histrionic
art. The one presented last Thurs
day night, Testing Fire was a
French play with a plot based upon
murder, false accusation and the final
exposition of the real murderer. Four
teen persons were in the cast. and
each contributed to make the whole
a pleasing success. Ruth Washington
as Adrienne Remand, Gerald Edwards
as Josph, Cecilia Jewell as Madeline,
Jesse Peoples as Raoul, and Edward
Turner as Captain Wolf. Each ac-
quilted themselves with credit. ]. r.
Lemma and Fannie Russell as the
Duke and Duchess D'Aubeterre could
hardly have been improved upon.
both carrying through to the utmost
the dignity so characteristic of
French royalty. Pearl NJ. Alexander
as Adrienne was a piece of excellent
acting. Corinne Thomas and Eva Peo-
pies as valentine De Mornay and
Chanoinesse of the College Hyeres
We're well presented and worthy of
more than passing notice. John O..
Woods as John Renaud and Andrew
7. Reed as Count De Mornay demand
ed the same measure of praise that
has always been attendant upon their
efforts. Remand, accused of the muir
der of his wife, and De Mornay, the
real murderer and ~masquerading as a
count, were parts that made heavy
demands upon the actors for vocal as
well as silent Interpretation, and it is
to the credit of these two young men
that they brought out everything pos
sible to the characters. Cecil Alexan-
der as Dennis O'Rourke furnished the
comedy, and real comedy it was. His
quaint Irish percipitancy, awkward
walk, sympathetic nature and green
handkerchief left an enduring impress,
sion upon everyone. Scarcely less
worthy of abundant praise were the
specialties that filled the interims be
tween acts, The Harmony Four, Mr..
Maceo Williams, violinist; Excelsior
Quartet, MIR. Roscoe Miller and Mrs.
Lena Mays-Curry, vocalists. Each
number was we'll rendered and most
Enthusiastically received.
AS a whole, the entertainment was
most excellent and it is the earnest
desire of the public that the Dubois
Players appear more frequently be.

theatre in Omaha is in itself an earn.
