Conveyed to the theater In big,
warm, comfortable and luxurious
sightseeing cars furnished by Mana
ger Henry Allyn. of the Tidewater
Lines, Incorporated. the little orphans
arrived in style well in advance of
the beginning of the performance.
Each OF the boys and girls was
dressed in his or her best bib and
tucker, and they were all as neat as
pins and in Joyous mood. They were
accompanied by X. o. Oscar Preil, SUI
perintendent of the orphanage, and
Mrs. Preii, the matron. The two off,
Gals of the institution said the boys
and girls slept with one eye open last
night so as to be sure they would be
up and dressed when their automo-

GIVEN CANDY AND FRUIT.
At the theater Manager Beatus well
coined The orphans with open arms
and danced attendance upon them, as
sisting them from their cars and
ushering them into the lobby of the
sumptuous theater, where each of
them was given a box of candy and
big red apple and a bigger orange.
The lobby rang with hearty and po-
lite Thank you" from each of the
well-trained little ladies and gentle
men as the goodies were presented to
them by the smiling and Ubiquitous
theater manager
Having heard a great deal about
the Orphans Party which The Wash
ington Times, Manager Beatus, and
Walter BROMLEY, proprietor OF the
Fruit and Nut Shop at 1905 G. street
northwest had planned for this week,
large crowd of men and women
gathered at the lobby and beamed
upon the little ones as the theater
manager did the honors. At the re-
quest of one of the children, Manager
Beatus posed for photograph, in
which he was surrounded by the
group of motherless and fatherless
boys and girls, where ages ranged
from five to fifteen.
The candy and fruit provided by
Walter Brownley. was handed to each
OF the joyous children as they passed
through the entrance to the theater
proper, and the performance began
Immediately. Most of the children had
never been in a theater before, and
they gazed In wonderment at the
lavish decorations or listened to the
numerous Gagged canary birds in vari-
Gus parts of the house. When the
great organ began to peal forth and
the picture commenced, the little
orphans. who had been munching on
their candy and fruit, sat up and fol-
lowed the action of the play most
closely.

Washir gtoR's Greatest Need
Votes for lis Inhabitants
Dresden enterprise and Sharon tribune. (Dresden, Tenn.) 1907-1997, 1921-05-13

A headliner in the daily press
reads: Farmers have Failed to Alb
sorb Unemployment Prevailing in
Cities" Who has expected the far
mers to do so? With the price of
every product of the farm down to
pre-war levels, what encouragement
have the farmers to hire high-priced
Getty" labor and go in for big crops?
The fact is that farm products are
selling far and way below the cost
of production, while the things we
have to buy have undergone no APP
preciable decline in price. Oh, you
say, these things were made from
high-priced material with high priced
labor. So was our cotton, our to-
bacco, our corn, wheat, hogs, etc.,
but through combination and wire
pulling farm products prices went
tobogganing, while prices Of manu-
featured products are still Highland
if they don't come down the public
is going on another buying strike
that will turn the country upside
down.

Complained of Rust
Turns Out Only Cold

Last week it was stated in the En-.
terprse thPt some complaint was
being made of rust in tobacco plant
beds, and growers who had careful
ly examined their plant beds thought
that was what it was that was col
oring and soaring their young tobac-
co plants. However, upon closer ex-
animation, and after the recent warm
spell, it develops that what was
thought to be rust was only The eff
fects of the cold weather prevailing
the first week in May and which
turned the plants yellowish color.
Plans are now reviving from the
weather and indications are that
there will be plenty of plants, while
beds that were we'll canvassed and
protected from the cold weather
look flourishing.
