 Mir. Stauffacher then told of the system which enables all to start regular class work the following day, and announced that school starts at o'clock, with full periods all day.

 During the last five years Mat calfe has divided his time between the east and west coasts, spending most of them in California, however Upon leaving Phoenix he went tc Oakland, where he opened at the Bishop theater, remaining there fol two years. He then spent some time on the Pantages vaudeville circuit. Metcalfe next returned to Oakland where he played a year at Ye Lib- erty theater from which Miss Rutf Seville comes to the new stock com. pany here. Everywhere he scored decided successes. talking elderl, leads and character parts. He alss supported Maud Fulton in "Th, Running Bird" in New York City and made several motion pictures among them a 10 reel feature" Tn Kingdom of Humna Hearts"
 With his father yesterday cam | Charles Metcalfe, 10 year old, and al actor already.

Miss Vera Blan-
ford To Give Ex-
preston Recital

Miss Vera H. Blanford, instructor
in expression at Hardin College, will
give a recital the evening of Febru-
airy 8 in Hardin College Auditorium.
She will give five or six numbers
during the evening.
The following is an extract from
the Hamilton, (0ntario, Canada,)
Herald of Friday, December 81 in re-
gard to Miss Blanford's work: Miss
Vera H. Blanford, B. L. l., head of the
expression department of dramatic
art at Hardin College, Mexico, Mo-,
gave an evening of readings at the
Victoria venue Babtist Church last
night, assisted by Leslie Sommerville,
organist, and Miss Hazel Devine,
pianist. Miss Blanford was grad
uated from Emerson College, Bost-
ton, received her degree of B. L. /.
there, and has been unusually sue
cessful in her work in the states.
This was her first appearance before
a Hamilton audience, and although
there were many attractions else
where in the city, a large audience
filled the church. The first part of
the program was a well-chosen sell
ection of humor and modern poetry.
The latter part was from the we'll
known drama, Experience the inter
probation of which was excellent and
the execution good. For thirty-five
minutes Miss Blanford held her aud
ience's attention while she enacted the
various characters in the drama, and
one almost forgot it was areading as
the artist so wildly depicted Youth
going through the mazes of life, al
lured by many temptations, but Love
eventually conquering. Miss Blan-
ford has the true Interpretation of
expression and Emerson College can
well be proud of such a graduate"
Since Miss Blanford has been teach
ing expression at Hardin College, she
has been very successful, as is shown
by the number of students taking eX-
preston, and in the excellent results
Of her training.

ON FRAUD
FOR $4,000 AND
THE INTEREST

A ease has been filed by William H.
Battersly against Fred DeTienne in
the circuit court, for $4,000 with in
terest from December, 1920, at 6 per
cent. The case is a suit for fraud.
In his petition, Battersly says that
his father was the owner of real es-
tate in Monroe county and of a stock
of merchandise, valued at $4,000,
which he had in a store building, and
which he directed his son to sell.
Bsttersly alleged that DeTienne said
that he was the owner of this stock
and land, subject to a first and prior
deed of trust for the sum of $4,000.
Believing DeTienne, he states in the
petition, he entered into a written con
tract with him in which DeTienne
agreed to give B~attersly real estate in
Rails County, subject to the deed of
trust for $4,000, in exchange for the
real estate in Monroe County belong
ing to Battersly and his father and
the stock of merchandise.
Battersly further alleges in his pc
tition, that DeTienne was not or never
had been the owner of the land inRalls
County nor had any legal right or any
authorization from the owner of the
real estate to sell. He also alleges
that in December, 1920, DeTienne
tried to get the stock of merchandise
valued at $4,000 and the real estate in
Monroe County without paying and
that Battersly was induced to part
with this stock OF merchandise and
to deliver it to a Mr.. Stone as advance
payment of $4,000 on the Rails County
land.
Battersly says he lost, in addition
to the value of the stock, a paying
business and the customary profit and
damage in the sum of $1,000, and asks
for $4,000 with interests and costs.
Sues For Delinquent Taxes.
c. P. Arnold collector Of Audrain
County has filed a suit in the circuit
court against Jeff McCune of Van
dalia for $2368.95, delinquent taxes
for 1919 and 1920. In the petition, it
stated that $1940.16 are for delin-
quent taxes, $213.42 for interest and
for the collectors commission.
