Walter Hampden and his capable COM

formance in this city last night Of 1.-THE
Tanning of the Shrew." 1t was a per-
formance which, as a whole, seemed
to greatly please the audience. and pre-

Of Shakespeare and has pronounced

PLAN TO RATE CADETS.
Efficiency Basis Formulated at Con-
ference Of oflcials.

Plans for rating members Of the
Washington High School Cadet Corps
on an efficiency basis were formulated
at conference yesterday afternoon
between Asst. Supt. Stephen Z.
Kramer, Lieut.. Col. Wallace M.
Craigie. U. s. A., professor of mill
tary science and tactics in the high
schools. and principals of the high
schools. The plan gives each soldier
student a rating on important points
in his military work. The ratings will
be recorded in a card index system
which will be established.
The principal aim of the rating sys-
tenn Is to standardize military work
in the high schools. Heretofore stand
ards have been more or less individual
to the different high schools. The rat
ing system also is designed to give
the cadets academic credit for their
military work which will aid those
who go to college.

Citizens Situation Could
Not Be Changed.

Whfteford & aDrr. attorneys. repre-
senting the Piney Branch Citizens
Association. asking for a hearing to
protest against the erection Of the
tuberculosis School at 14th and Up
shur streets. the District Commission
ers yesterday refused to grant the
hearing.
The city officials based their re-
fusal on the grounds that the most
careful consideration was given to
this matter by the Commissioners be-
fore the site was selected, and they
do not feel that any arguments that
have or may be presented would
change their opinion. that the site
selected is the best available site for
the school"
This proposed school is public
necessity" continues the communica-
tion, 'it had to be located on land
owned by the District of Columbia.
as the appropriation cid not provide
for the purchase Of a site; and every
available piece of land owned by the
District of Columbia was considered
before this site was selected"

torneys, it was learned last night
will carry the contest to the courts.
Should it fail there, it was said, it will
place the grievance Of the Piney Branch

"A Chance for YOU to Cooperate
Don't Theorize! Be PRACTICAL
Nv Comrade.

My Comrade:
You have read the theories Of Karl
Marx and other Socialist writers. You
believe in them2 They were written
many years ago. Are you advancing
beyond the theories Of these men, or
are you still living among theories
Why should you believe ip these mems
theories and not try to carry them In
to effect2
Do you think the time will ever
come when everybody, or even a ma
jority Of our people. will be ready to
act upon these beliefs simultaneously?
or do you think we should start to act
now2 Can we do it now3 YesI Why
notp
For nearly seven years a group of
people have been trying the expert
ment, and they are now convinced it
can be done. After nearly seven years
the Llano Cooperative Colony has
reached the point where it has conf
dence in their plan and, better still,
the colonists have confidence in each
other.
We came to Louisiana three years
ago, and have contracted to buy TO-
900 acres Of land, paying for it on an
excellent plan. We paid for 1000
acres the first year, 1000 acres the Sc
,ond year, 1000 acres last year, and
IN the 18th Of May this year we will
pay for 1000 acres more. Then we
will have two years to pay for the rest
IF the tract.
When we pay for any part of
his land, it is decided to the Colony
and is ours, with no strings on it in
Vernon Parish Democrat. (Leesville, La.) 1917-193?, 1921-01-27

lany way. Il will be many years 8
fore we can have the Colony, aTge
enough to use this whole tract and.
besides buying this land, We have
many industries to finance.
We want you, my comrade, to h
US to buy this land. Buy what you
can of it at SIS. per acre. The deed
will be made to you. and the land will
be yours to do with as you wish. You
can sell it or keep it to turn in on a
membership in the Colony later, when
you wish to join us. We would like
to keep this whole tract for co-opera-
tors, and you can help to do this by
buying some of it. Never again will
such an opportunity come to us to buy
such land at SO small a price. Never
again will little money invested
mean SO much to our movement.
Think of it: $3.50 means 10 acres
of land; $500 means a 20-acre home
plat, ETC., and that is not all. You
will be helping your comrades who
are now in position to handle crops
in way that gives the worker the full
product of his toll, or nearly so. We
have our sweet potato evaporator to
take care of the potato crop; a pea
nut butter factory to make our pea
nuts into finished product; a saw
mill to make our lumber; we also have
the timber; brick factory to make
bricks, and later tile, for building
purposes; steam laundry; shoe
shop; bakery; store; butcher shop;
broom factory; black smith shop;
handle factory; dairy; hotel; a good
shop. where we do job-work

lald publish two papers; and many
smaller industries that are necessary
to commonwealth.
We have our own school, where
character is built, and the children are
trained in industries and given a
broad education.
We have our own social life, which
is clean, wholesome, and enjoyable.
1t has cost us much money and sew
eral years of our lives to get this far;
and now we ask you to buy this land
and help us to keep it in the hands
of co-operators.
We must sell 1000 acres by May
LIST. What part Of it can you buy7
We can get you deed in May. Your
theories are no good unless they are
practical. Are you ready to act9 IF
so, buy as much of this land as you
can handle before May lst. If the
location of land does not suit you
when you come to see it, we will ex-
change it for any other we may have
open, which you may choose.
This is your colony as well as ours;
it is builded on your philosophy, and
it is succeeding far better than you
can imagine. We want you to finance
the land-buying; we will build the in
dustries. We are now producing our
own food, or its equivalent. We have
the material for new and comfortable
homes; education and social life is
and we hope to soon
make our own clothes.
Food. clothing. shelter, education,
and social life are ours for the max
ing, and we invite you to do your part
now.

in three, George Gunther in four
teen. and then was matched to fight
Bombardier Wells at Client, in Bel
GUM.
Carpenter was still a middle
weight, and Wells was the cleverest
heavyweight turned out in Eng
land since Mitchells time: 6 feet 3lS
inches tall, splendidly bailt, then
fighting in good form; a sharp, hard
hitter. English sportsmen went
over to win back the money they'd
been losing when Carpenter waded
through the other weight classes of
English champions. This looked
like a cinch.
Georges went after Wells furious
ly. The tall Englishman landed
heavy blows and for a couple of
rounds it was anybody's fight. In
the fourth Carpenter suddenly
shifted his attack to Wells body,
knocked him down. and finished
him with a blow on the chin.

Albert Lurie in three rounds, then
Ashley Williams in four. He then
