In view of the interest aroused it IS
thought that Il primary to select a
magistrate is about the best way out
OF it.
While the county Legislative dele
CATION hasn't said so, the general op-
inion is that the delegation would be
very we'll pleased to have a primary
TO nominate a man. AS matter OF
fact, the rules OF the party contem-
plate selection in this manner.
The latest candidate for the posi-
tion, it was said yesterday, is Fred r

Joe N. Taylor of Newport considered

STERLING EXCHANGE OVER THE
400 MARK

For the first time since before the
war the English pound sterling to-
day passed over the 400 mark. The
bright prospects of reduced arma-
ments, and the removal of danger of
further wars, and the general atti-
tude of peace, and the belief that the
conference will straighten out great
many financial difficulties is respon-
sible for the rise in the pound ster-
ling which correspond in value to our
five dollar piece when it is at par.
The German mark has also ad-
vanced some in the past few days,
following out the continuous state
ment that we have made ever since
the Republicans gave the black eye
TO the League of Nations pact that
if that covenant had been adopted
the world would be in much better
shape and the south and west would
have received much more for their
cotton and tobacco than they have.

stant use in describing the conference.
He disclaims any desire to have any

He even informs the conference
that Japan will withdraw her troops
from Siberia as soon as a stable

by Russia.

basketball team.
Professor Baker who directed with
signal success the Indian Opera,

training the cast and chorus. With
the most excellent cast obtainable.
with that talent thoroughly trained
in music charming in it's beauty and
unique in its conception. the High
School is ready to offer Monday and
Tuesday night the best fun-produc-
ing entertainment it has ever at
tempted.
The first part will be taken up
with the Home Guards a proto-
type VI the DOES WHO DTOhe lHe I1lH-
denburg Line and incidentally broke
the heart of Germany. These will
be followed by the beautiful chorus
of fairies, ''Tne Spanish Ballet"

Winston. This part will also include
among the specialties charming
aesthetic dance by Miss Edna AL

There is much to commend in a
pure home talent offering of this
sort. as it reaches the happier vein
of our natures and appeals to our
sense of the beautiful over and above
the sordid things of life.
This form of light entertainme ert
comes to us down the ages and is
mentioned in the psalms: ''The
