not solicit local branches Of the Red

The state organzation desires to i'm
press upon the public that this relief
campaign is humanitarian wholly;
men and women Of all political rela-
tions or religious creeds Joining In It.
It is not for the benefit Of able-bod-

TEACHING FORCE UNCERTAIN
Dan Cupid Depicting Ranks Of Riraf
Teachers In Dickinson

Rumor has 1t that little Dan Cupid
is making inroads on the teaching
forces of Dickinson county. The ru-
raj schools of the county are his
choicest marks 1t is said though a
few Of his darts have penetrated the
walls Of graded schools. Ten rural
school teachers and three or four
from the grade schools will be sum-
mer brides and some Of the most
successful teachers Of the county are
included among them 1t is said
Salaries for teachers next year viii
not be lower and some indications
point to higher salaries this year than
last in the opinion Of school authori-
ties. It is probable there will be no
shortage Of teachers despite the pros
peotive weddings, they say.

IT ENTERTAINED HUNDREDS
Something New" Was Interesting to
Crowded Houses at Lyric

Crowded Houses at Lyric
A total Of $3.50 Abilene folks saw
the stirring film, Something New"
with Nell Shipman as star, presented
free at the Lyric Monday and Tues
day. Two matinees were given for
the schools and the evening perform
anees had capacity houses. The Red
man Motor Company which brought
the film here certainly furnished real
entertainment for the film was prais-
ed as not only an excellently acted
story but showed the marvellous per-
formance possible by a Maxwell car
under difficult conditions. The COM
pany engaged the theatre, threw open
the doors and invited its friends
and they all came. No such crowded
houses for two successive days have
ever been seen in the history of the
theatre and everybody went away
pleased with the entertainment.
The especial attractiveness Of the
film is that 1t is a real story and not
an advertisement, except that in the
action a Maxwell car is used, a decid-
ed novelty in publicity. Undoubtedly
every member Of the audience went
away with admiration Of the car, but
also were enjoyment for the drama
tics Of the play.

THE SENIOR CLASS PLAY.

Last night the Senior class of the
high school presented their play, "a
Lost Paradise" to an unusually ap-
preciative audience.
The play is a drama, adapted to
the American stage by DeMille, and
is the most serious production which
has been attempted here by a high
school cast. The successful rendi-
ton of play of this character by
amateur performers is quite unusual,
and reflects great credit upon the
students, and upon their director,
Miss Bernice Wood.
The story presented the conflicting
claims of capital and labor in the
situations brought about in an dron
mandatory owned by Andrew
Knowlton, but operated by the super
intendent, Reuben Warner. The
part of Knowlton, the owner, was
very creditably taken by Robert
Massie. His wife, society woman
who shares with her husband an in
fatuation for their only daughter,
was portrayed by Mary Dunn in a
most dignified and attractive man
ner. Opal Downing played the part
of margaret, spoiled daughter of for
tune, very effectively. Victor Rob-
ertson, as Warner, Superintendent Of
the works, was an unusually strong
character. Ralph Standish, blase
society man, was especially we'll TAX
en- by Sprague Stevens. Wayne
Thoreson very cleverly depicted the
character of Fletcher, Knpwlton's
man of business. In lighter vein
were the characters of Polly Fletcher
and Bob Appleton cleverly acted by
Josephine Caster and Wallace S-ultz
Florence Dore, the maid, was grace
ful and attractive. The comedy
characters, Billy and Cinders, play
ed by Verle Bentley and Helen
Stultz, were very amusing. The
pathetic condition of the sweat shop
workers was well portrayed by Edna
Findlay and Vada Thompson. AS
the champions of labor in the char
acters of Schwartz and Old Bensel,
Howard Neider and Lyle Cowden de-
serve special mention. The parts Of
the foreman and one of the workmen
were creditably taken by Lloyd Davis
and Alton Reay.

THE FOUNDATION OF WATER,

1t is related that those who build
on sand soon witness a collapse.
Yet some of the worlds greatest
structures are bottomed on sand!
And if sand, how about water?
In that part of Idaho depending
upon irrigation it may be truly said
that we build on water. The foun-
dation ds water. It means every
thing.
There was never a time in the
history of this state when there was
SO much popular interest in this sub
ject Of water-of reclamation.
We have about reached the limit
of irrigation development without
more water-and we certainly need
more such development. The found
alton must be broadened. There
must be more acres available if we
expect to attract added population
This means not only agricultural
growth and production, but it means
growth and production in many
other directions.
The extent of reclamation in Ida
no is up to congress, and congress
wants to know what is needed
what the people of irrigated states,
and especially Idaho, think about it.
They want mass expression. What
ever is related by our people, Within
reason, will undoubtedly be the basis
of action.
1t is, therefore, of the highest i'm
portance that we adopt means to
formulate concrete expression that
will receive attention because of it's
popular aspects.
The only way to do it is through
organized effort. We have in this
state reclamation association, the
child of the late Major Fred r. Reed,
which ALREADY has done much to aid
in this vitality important work.
In view of action by congress it is
necessary that this representative

P0ST0FFICE TO TAKE CENSUS
OF NUHBERED HOUSES

In accordance with an official or
der issued from the Postoffice De-
partment at Washington, Postmaster
]. Walter Payne and assistants, to-
gether with the city and rural mail
carriers, will, on October 10, take a
census of all the unnumbered houses
in the city OF Paris. Postmaster
Payne will require the carriers to
report the address of every building
and place of business on their routes
not supplied with house numbers.
If expeditions and efficient city de-
livery service IS to be accorded, it
Is essential that sall buildings to
which mail is delivered be properly
numbered and equipped with private
mail receptacles. Without house
numbers carriers are delayed in
serving the routes and errors in de-
livery unavoidably occur, especially
when substitutes are on duty. To
correct this evil it has been decided
to conduct a nationwide campaign
with a view to having every build
ing properly numbered and equip
ped with suitable receptacle or
opening in the door.
No particular style of receptacle
is required by the department. 1t
may consist of either a slot in the
door or a conveniently located box
of any suitable material. House
numbers will, of course, conform to
the system adopted by the city. Con-
tractors and builders will be asked
to aid in the movement by properly
numbering all buildings erected by
them and making provisions for mail
slots in doors. House numbers en-
able mail carriers to promptly To-
cate buildings to which mail is ad-
dressed, and avoid errors and delays
in delivery.
The house numbering system in
Paris has never been what it should
be and was never completed. One
house would be numbered, and it's
neighbor would go unnumbered per-
haps for months, and perhaps may
be yet. AS a consequence the de-
partment at Washington has been
hammering at the people of the city
in an effort to have them complete
the system, and have every house
in the city numbered. And to this
end Postmaster Payne is asking the
earnest and wholehearted co-opera-
ton Of the people,
