SOUVENIR MATINEE
 TODAY AT THE ElKS

Today is the day that gladdens the hearts of hundreds of women. This IS Wednesday and the regular mid week souvenir matinee of the Brandon stock company at the E,ll1s theater. The souvenirs this week are entirely new, something different from anything offered on previous occasions and there is one for each lady in attendance.
 And the pL. rt that is offered. That is another good reason for capacity house this afternoon, this evening and all of the remaining evenings of the week. Come Seven" is the offering and it is proving the biggest laughing hit of the season. It is the famous negro dialect play based on the famous stories of Oetavus Roy Cohen that are still running in the Saturday Evening Post and the same play that was pro- duced at tSe Broadhurst theater in New York by George Broadhurst with Gail kain and an exceptional Broad way cast
 The story is intensely interesting and the comedy just bubbles out. but of course the big kick" comes from the fact that the entire cast is in black-face makeup. Ed. Redmond and Eddie Young are the chief plot ters and have the major portion of tf,e comedy and most of the lines to speak from a seat in front. A look at Irene Noblett's back would indicate that she really had the most to do when it came to making up'' and making down. The musical numbers are all good and appropriate to a dark setting. The whole thing is a most fascinating comedy well produced, well mounted and put over'' by the Brandon stock company in a way that is pleasing the Elks patrons immensely

Tom Mix at the Ramona

Held over by popular depiand, Tom Mix in "rhe Eeud' will again today lead off the picture program at the Ramona theater. Mix in the leading role of this picture does some of the most exciting work of his career. It has been a custom always followed by this daredevil that each picture should eclipse his former efforts in the mat ter Of dangerous stunts and exciting action. And how well he succeeds is best evidenced by the place he holds in the admiration of the motion picture lovers. The Feud" is a love story of the olden West-where the best man had to win--and where wits battled against six guns-where bravery and fearlessness were the deciding factors in every argument. Mack's Merry Mer- maids will close their engagement at the Ramona with the final shows this evening. A particularly pleasing pro- gram has been arranged for the fare well shows, each member of the cast having prepared an especial good bye number. Tomorrow starts the engage ment of the Miller and Wakefield show, thus continuing the policy of the Ramona to offer musical comedy in
 conjunction with their feature pie lures.

The cause OF the decreased pro-
duction in recent weeks has been
almost wholly due to lack of de-
mand. The latest figures available,
those for the week ended February
10. show that SO per cent of the full
time output Of the mines was lost
because of lack of market. A loss
of 1.5 per cent of the full time out
put was caused by lack of trans
portation, is per cent by labor
troubles, and 2.5 per cent because
of. mine disability. These figures
show a striking change from those
for the middle of 1920. In July,
1920. approximately 80 per cent of
the full time output of the mines
was lost because of the shortage of
cars. Lack of market caused a loss
OF only one-tenth of one per cent
at that time. These figures show
clearly that the Industries of the
country at the present time are
running on a very low schedule.
Our total production of coal for
the present year. while considerably

is much less than in either 1918 or
1917. An increase in the demand
for coal will probably be one OF
the first definite Indications of the
return of business prosperity.

GRAINS TUMBLE
In LIGHT BUYING
Wall Street and Cotton De-
clines Seen as Factors
In Reaction.

CHICAGO, March 10.-Lack OF

influence of light country offerings

showing of strength early prices
slid off, and the olose was weak at
the inside of the day, with a tame

Economic conditions. with in

combined with the weakness in

The effect OF the claim of three
cargoes of wheat being bought at

chases by Italy, and sales of 2OS,-
600 bushels being sold there by n
Chicago house for export. was
largely nulHfied by the confirmed
report that France had found
American wheat prices too high and
had purchased its requirements in
Argentina at 15c less. This contro-
verted the claims OF the previous

ference, il being a matter of how

First Prices Show Drop of
From Three TO Nine
Points.

NEW YORK, March Io.-The cot

Futures at Liverpool lost ground

concerns and the South sold, while
local traders and sWall Street
bought.
After the start the list was sus-
tained by a little support from

pool turned easier after the local
opening. partly as a result OF selling
by a leading American spot firm.
There was selling Of the same sort
here. May eased to ll.so and July
to l2.27 in consequence. or about

Fluctuations later in the morning

hedge selling by the Southwest was
reported during the forenoon. but
generally speaking, there appeared
to be a slightly better feeling over
the Southern spot situation. as there
has been no general pressure from

Early in the afternoon the market

SMALLER COAL OUTPUT
ANNDEX OF DEPRESSION
Lack of Market Causes 40 Per Cent Decline in
Bituminous Since Middle of December.
(The wasAInEton Herald,. Economi.t.,

There is perhaps no better readi-
ly available index of the extent Of
the present business depression
than that furnished by the weekly
figures on the production Of bitumi-
nous coal. The mild winter has no
doubt had some effect upon coal
production. but by far the greater
portion of bituminous coal Is used
by the railroads and manufacturing
Industries OF the country. Anthra-
cite coal, which is used in a larger
proportion for domestic heating. has
shown no reduction in output dur
ing the winter. On the other hand,
bituminous production is now down
to the lowest point reached in many
years.
Following the switchmen's strike
in April, 1920. the production of BIZ
luminous coal steadily Increased
throughout the remainder of the
year. reaching in the early weeks
of December the highest daily av-
erage production ever reported.
amounting to considerably more
than 100000 tons per day. Since
the middle of December production
has been steadily declining. As
shown by the following table. the
production for the week ending De-
cember IL, 1890, was 1885. 900 tons.
Production for the week ending
February rs amounted to only Il
$4,000 tons, or a decline from the
December high point or nearly 40
per cent. Production is now on a
lower level than at any. time during
the business depression in the early
months of 1919. 1t was only dur
ing the period of the big bitumi-
nous strike in October and Novem-
Der, 1913. that production was low
er than at the present time.
