STAR THEATER
TO BE REOPENED

Arrangements for the opening of
the Star Theatre are being negotiated,
and the public will once more be
treated to the accommodations and
courtesy of one of the contest little
playhouses in the state.
The management is not yet ready to
make announcement of the opening
date, which will be occasioned by an
invitation to the public to be guests of
the management to both the opening
show and the dance afterward, music
to be furnished by a four-piece or
chestra. The orchestra will be a per-
manent asset to the Star Theatre, and
will be much added attraction in ac-
companying pictures.
According to present plans, three
nights week will be devoted to pre-
senting high-class pictures only, and
one night to vaudeville and light
dramas.
The opening of the Star Theatre will
be welcomed by the public in general,
and If the high standard of pictures
and amusement maintained as under
its former management, the people of
Carson Valley will again enjoy refined
and refreshing entertainment.

PROF. B. ALDRICH
RESIGNS POSITION

The Douglas County Board of Edu-
cation has been notified of the resig-
nation of Benjamin Aldrich, who was
re-engaged as principal of the Doug
las county high school and who is now
in San Francisco.
Since the closing of school last
spring, Mr.. Aldrich has been in San
Francisco taking treatment for ILL
ness, the result of being gassed on the
fighting line in France during the
World War.
Owing to the fact that his condition
has greatly improved under treat
ment of army physicians, Mr., Aldrich
has determined that it is advisable for
him to remain in the city and COM
plete the treatment. He has secured
an army appointment, according to re-
ports.

LEGION TO TAKE
DEFINITE ACTION

Following the line of action laid
down at the state legion convention
at Lake Tahoe last week, there will
be a meeting Sunday in Reno of state
officials of the organization to adopt
definite plan of campaign for put
ting the cause of adjusted compensa-
ton and help for disabled veterans
before the people of Nevada.
THE legion has taken off its coat
and is going to fight for its pro-
gram" said Commander Withers to
the Reno Journal Beginning with
Washington and Nevada, which have
already decided on this action, we be-
lieve the legion organizations of other
states will fall into line, and that we
VIII be able to get out and enlist the
support of the public for adjusted
compensation and disabled soldier re-
lief measures, as contrasted with our
former attitude or arguing with con-
gress over them.
up to three weeks prior to July
II, the legion had actually pledged
three-fourths of the members of the
senate and President Harding to pass
the adjusted compensation bill. Some
influence caused change in the three
weeks. 1t is our purpose to find out
what that influence is, SO that we may
combat 1t before the country.
THE arguments advanced by the
President and the secretary of the
treasury for their attitude in urging
deferred action were not accepted by
the Nevada convention, which pre-
ferred rather to believe that the un-
animous report of the House ways and
means committee and the Senate
finance committee represented the ac-
tual ability of the country to bear the
expense of adjusted compensation and
soldier relief.
1T must be clearly understood that
the legion has not gone into politics
but is merely fighting in support OF
measures 1t has been advocating fol-
almost three years"
In support of this contention leg.
ion men point out that resolution
to strike the phrase, "non-political'
from the constitution, and substitute
"non-partisan," was voted down by
the Tahoe convention.
1t is also pointed out that In it!
three years, the Nevada legion has no
changed its officers, who are of botl
parties, but has simply advanced then
upward in order, as 1t done in an,
non-political fraternal body.

THRESHINC OF
GRAIN CROPS START

The big combined harvester of the
Dangberg Land and Livestock CON-
pany started up last week and is now
harvesting the grain crops on the East
ranch. This machine was especially
constructed for operation or irrigated
lands where burrows are used, and by
the ingenious arrangement of wheels,
the heavy machine crosses the small
bitches without interfering with the
threshing attachment.
At least one threshing outfit is al
ready at work and other machines
will soon start on the seasons run.
Considerable of the grain crop has al
ready been cut and binders are now
at work in all parts of the valley
harvesting what is said to be one of
the heaviest yields of grain ever cut
in this section.

GLENBROOk WAITRESSES'
STRIKE SOON ADJUSTED

THE FIRST strike by organ
lied labor in Douglas county is
reported to have occurred at
Glenbrook last Saturday when
the mattresses at the Glenbrook
summer resort walked out.
The management sent an SO.
S. to Tahoe City for additional
help and the fair strikers let
1t be konwn that they would
not permit the strike breakers
to land. When things began to
look as though trouble would
result, the management tele-
phoned for Sheriff Nielsen to
come and take charge of the
situation. When the officer ar
rived at Carson he was in
formed that the difficulty had
been satisfactorily adjusted,
which was exceedingly pleasing
news to him. since he had no
desire to mix up with a bevy
of fair strikers, because of lack
of experience in that line.
