AGREED in INTEREST OF HARMONY.

The undersigned committee of Democrats having
had the following question submitted to them and it
having been agreed by the parties interested that we
should settle the matter to the best interest Of the DEM
ocratic party, make the following report:
Hon. Chas. D. Arnett and Hon. Floyd Arnett,
brothers and Democrats, being aspirans for judicial pre-
ferrment in the Democratic primary and both realizing
that there should be an amicabe settlement between
them before submitting the claims of either to the Dem
ocrats of the district have asked this committee to decide
the one question as to which of them candidate would
have less tendency to disrupt the Democratic harmony
now prevailing.
In answering this we believe after having consider
ed the matter that there being public announcement
of any candidate against Hon. Floyd Arnet and he not
having served full term, it would promote more har
mony for him to make the than for Hon Chas D.
Arnett to make the for Judge. We recognize Hon
Chas D. Arnetts Democracy and willingness to submit
the matter to arbitration and believe the Democracy
will suitably reward him when they have chance to do
so.

to touch ON this subject by intro
ducing the patriotic element into the
regular school work for the last few
days. .....>,..,.i...,-. a.. ,..s.." ~
Miss Backus conducted several
class programs including patriotic
recitations, the study of the flag, flag
equations and> made an effort to
have the classes memorize the words
of "The Star Spangled Banner" Miss
Hoag, through the grammar depart
ment, laid stress on correct speaking
as the first step to good citizenship
by means of discussions and drills.
The classes made posters illustrating
common errors and their corrections.
Miss Loretta Slatterly epdeavored to
show good citizenship by the study
of the lives Of men and women who
have served their country well. The
pupils gave three,minute talks on the
topics assigned. Miss Schlcrman took
up the cost of an education and Miss
Blomberg showed theF value of an
education in percentages by compar-
ing the salaries Qf those having an
education and those having none.
Mrs: Loufburrow's geography classes
took up the study ~ofreducation in
different countries comparing their
systems with our own. Miss Dodge,s
classes studied the historical setting

of crook play with Bert Lytells as the
star. 1t is an artistic ensemble of love
and crime so cunningly interviewer as
to make a powerful drama. And Bay
ard WELLER, the director, who by his
famous stage hits, proved his ability
to Judge dramatic values correctly
has scored again, this time in the 81
lent drama. I-.~ q
In this story of jackson Gregory's

of wealth is trained by notorious
safe breaker to follow that line of
precarious livelihood. The youth be-
comes ar, c.t,pert, and because Of his
slim and delicate hands, is known as
Ladyfingers.,s ~ - ..t..
He is much wanted by the police
who learn that he is being sought as
the heir of his rich grandmother
The youth, knowing nothing of this
relationship, visits the home Of the old
lady intent upon plying his, sprofes
sional talents, and IS informed by her
of the relationship. So far from vel
coming the change to live in peace
and security with the girl Of his love
re determines to work out his owr
salvation. .s ,,sss4ss$s9 + =
Mr.. Lytell portrays the character
of the crook with dramatic power,
while Ora Carew. as the trusting
