once again in the kind OF role

OF her whole career.
In The Idol OF the North" in which
Miss Dalton was directed by r. Will

others, Miss Dalton has the role Of a
dance favorite in a Northwestern

in their rebellion and in her enforced
marriage to the camp derelict, a man
who has wandered North to forget
the tragedy Of his romance with a

Dual Government of Union
CITY Show Lack of Harmony

GREENVILLE, Jan. 81 The city
council on the Ohio side of the village
Of Union City, northwest of here is
coming in for much censure from the
tax payers of that place. Owing to
the fact the Union City is located
directly on the state line between Ohio
and Indiana, it is necessary for two
separate city governments to be kept
in operation, one for each side.
For many years these two govern
nlents have acted in harmony. but for
The past several years there has been
q noticeable discord, which has finally
eliminated in the advertising by the

the restriction of immigration into the
