ChampIin Company to Open With

Opera House
The Chas. K. Champlin stock COM

the Opera House next Monday pre-
senting Daddy Long Legs" the play
in which fascinating Mary Pickford,
whose charms have touched the
hearts of the photoplay fans through
out the world. appeared on the film
stage in the beautiful role of Judy"
, the little slavey.
The story of Daddy Long Legs" is
we'll told. Judy is a little slavey in
an Orphan Asylum who has remained
in the institution long beyond her
allotted time because of the assist
ance she is able to give.
She is belabored continually by her
task mistress until one day, when the
trustees make their monthly visit, her
rebellious spirit is aroused and she
makes known to them, in no uncer-
tain terms. her opinion of the place
and the spirit in which it is con-
Quoted. They resent her independ-
ence and plan dire punishment.
Jarvis Pendleton, one of the trus-
tees, is touched by her pleading for
an opportunity to rise in the world,
and decides to send her to college.
She does not know who her benefac-
tor is. and his personality is shrouded
! in the whimsical title of Daddy Long
Legs, which she gives him for the
elongated shadow he makes upon the
road as he departs. Next we see her
installed at college, where her sweet
and gentle nature and humorou~ OBJ
scrvations have given her immense
popularity. Of course her benefact or
visits her with the inevitable result
that he falls in love with her Judy,
wishing to be faithful to her Daddy
Long Legs, the man she loves, and
convinced that her lack of a family
tree proves great obstacle, refuses

that her sweetheart and Daddy Long
Legs are one and the same.

CHINA MAY NEED OVER
MILLION TEACHERS SOON

If orders for compulsory education
of children, now being discussed in
China, go into effect, there will be an
immediate call for 10000 teachers
whom China herself is quite unable
to supply. This statement is made by
DR.. G. A. Huntley of, the American
Baptist Foreign Mission society, who
is at present in this country on a long
deferred holiday.
For % years DR.. Huntley has been
a medical missionary in China, his
station being Shanghai. The figures
he quoted as regards the lack of edu-
cation, seem startling to an Ameri-
can. Out of. a possible 65,OOO,O 900
children of school age, less than g.
600, 900 actually 60 to school. The
great tragedy lies in the, fact that
every one Of them is extraordinarily
we'll worth educating, says DR.. Hunt
ley.
7 He holds Chinese mentality in a
very high esteem and if one; may
judge by his experience, which has
been both deep and broad, here is an
excellent field awaiting the born edu-
Gator who is looking for fertile soil
in which to work.
It. is fallow field and fertile, &C.
cording to DR.. Huntley, who would
like to see his own countrymen and
women among the pioneers in break
ing this new, trail for the spread of
modern culture. ,.,-.

Monkeys Mourned comrade.

Monkeys are very human in their
desire to help one another, and quite
skillful in their rude surgery. An A.
rican explorer tells u. story of a fe.
male monkey that was shot by one of
a campaign party that he was with.
Several of the tribe Of which she was
a member. came as close to the tent
where her body was lying as they
dared, holding out their arms and
making mournful cries, as if begging
that she should be given back to them.
Then a gray old man monkey, prob
ably the chief. came still closer, chat
tering and one could imagine almost
weeping. When given the body, he
took it in his arms, examined the
wound, then walked away, the others
trailing him in single file, thus form.

INSPECTOR URGES LAW
TO REGULATE MARKETS
NV United PreSs)

St. Paul, Jan. 4.-Fro1no 40 to so
per cent Of. the meat consumed In
Minnesota escaped federal inspection,
according to Dr. M. O. Anderson, in
spector in charge for the bureau of
animal industry at South St. Paul.
The same may be true in other north
vest states, he asserted.
The federal inspection. he pointed
out, is limited to meats for interstate
1r foreign shipment and federal regu-
ations do not apply to scores Of small
packers or local butchers who buy,
kill and sell their own beef, pork
and mutton.
Because of this situation, he said,
it is urgent that some step be taken
to protect the public from inferior
meats. He believes a state law re-
curing inspection of all meats before
)ffere! for sale, would be effective.
In the twin cities alone, more than
10000 pounds Of beef, 5000 pounds
Of veal, and 5000 pounds of pork was
consumed during 1919 that would
have been found unfit for food under
federal inspection. according to DR..
Anderson.
During the year 1919,' he said
there were slaughtered in and
around the twin cities without any
inspection at the time of slaughter,
approximately $4,000 cattle, $4,000
calves and 5000 hogs.
."On basis of the same percentage
IF carcnsses found to be unfit for
food as those at the various packing
plants where federal inspection is
maintained, there should have been
condemned out Of the number of
slaughtered. about 305 cattle, A
calves and q hogs.
Applying the rule of average
weights, the people Of the twin cities
where the greater part of this meat
was marketed, consumed $4,000
pounds Of beef, 4,40O pounds Of veal
and $3.50 pounds Of pork which IL it
had been slaughtered under federal
inspection would have been found un-
fit for food.
This average, he said, should hold
good thruout the state as nearly ev-
cry village and town in the state and
thruout the northwest, has small
slaughter houses where slaughterine
is done for local consumption.

OTHER NATIONS ARE
REFORMING FIGHT GAME
By Henry L. Farrell,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Jan. 4.-Near sighted
American promoters and greedy box
ers are doing their best to bite the
hand that's feeding them.
Champions are demanding sums
nearly the size Of the presidents sal
airy and just ordinary !''pork and
beaners" want more than the old
champions used to get.
Promoters are giving them their
prices and soaking the public for. it.
The public is getting tired of being
soaked, as Tex Richard, premier New
York promoter, recently learned.
If Richard didn't lose money on
the Dempsey Brennan fight at SIS to
$25 a head, he came very close to it.
= While these factors are killing the
game in America, constructive meas
ures are being taken in Europe to
prolong its-life.
French fight fans, since the war,
have been experiencing the same ex-
tortion from the promoters and box
ers that the Americans are being put
through now. .-..-
The French fans Just stopped pay
ing the sexorbitant freight for boxers

was solved. 4,.-a- ...- ...-
Boxing is Furnishing now in France
because the promoters were far sight
ed and realized all chances of making
money would be lost by prohibitory
legislation if they didn't reduce prices.
They cut down the demands of the
fighters and thus decreased the price
of the "gate." ....>n..t- ~ .s.,.
The best of fights that cost the
equivalent of $40 shortly after the
war are now only IS.
In England, characteristic British
ideas are being incorporated into laws
to safeguard the interests Of the pub
lie. At. a recent meeting of the Brit
ish board of boxing control, which

to:
