HIGH SCHOOL PLAY

The play "Why Smith Left Home
will be staged at the Princess Thea
ter on Friday night, at eight O'Clock
sharp, March the 18TH Don't be late
or else you will have to miss the
breezy opening and as result you
will not be able to enjoy the follow
ing parts.
"Why Smith Left Home" is a. farce
in three acts, written by Gearge
Broadhurst. The play has been very
popular with amatuer players for the
last four years.
The main plot of the play concerns
the Vaccinations of Mr. Smith to rid
himself of an unwelcome visit from
Mrs. Billetdoux, his wifes aunt, by
bringing the "Cook Lady" to- cook
even worse than is her daily want.
The success of his plan is thwarted
by the fact that he is caught inno-
Gently kissing the ladies' maid in
mistake of his wife. He is overheard
apparently, asserting to General Bill
letdoux's proposition that they both
should attend the ball which the
servents had planned that same even
ing in the expected absence of the
family. This is a buoyant breezy
play which keeps up rattle of
boisterous incidents from beginning
to end. You will have a capital time
listening to Count Won Guggenheim's
impatient VOWS Zach you have them
twisted'. "You burn up NIT der i'm
patience clear from der top of der
house,.

FARMER HAS HIS TROUBLES.

=8s FARMER HAS HIS TROUBLES.
Many people who are free with criti.
cism of the farmer, his ways and his
prices, have never taken the trouble
to try to see the farmers problems
through the farmers eyes. The city
consumer, with an appetite for chick
en-, has not been with the farmer
through the trials and tribulatfons Of
bringing chick from the egg stage
to the broiler. The old hen must be
fed, housed and attended. The little
chickens require even more care. They
must be protected from bad weather.
Rats, cats and other animals menace
them and so do poultry diseases. When
sufficiently large they are killed,
dressed and taken to market. All
this is to be considered in connection
with the price charge. Practically ev-
cry crop the farmer raises takes the
chance Of being ruined by weather or
insects. IF he arises at daybreak,
milks COW, cleans out the barn, COM
plies with all of the laws providing
for clean milk and then peddles that
milk at II cents quart, he is charged
with being a profteer. Without farms
there would be no food and without
food there would be starvation, says
indianapolis News. The big farmer
has made money and lives as we'll or
better than his city brother. If the
little farmer makes merely a living
he feels reasonably we'll paid for his
labor. It Is the average farmer who
needs help and there should be more
sympathetic understanding of his diff
culties by the city people.

President Inducted Into White
House With Brief and Sim
pie Ceremonies.
GOES s.. RIGHT R [ TO WORK
Precedent Set BY Washington Revived
When Executive Submits to Senate
in Person Nominations Of His
Ten Cabinet Officers,

Washington-The reins Of presi-
Dental authority passed from Wood.
roow Wilson to Warren G. Harding In
an Inaugural ceremony, the simplest
and most dramatic of generation,
Before Mr.. Harding had been Presi.
dent an hour he had reviod prece.
dent set by George Washington by
comforting with the Senate In execu.
tive session, submitting in person the
nominations Of his 10 cabinet officers,
all of which Immediately were con-
6rmed. .s
Then He "Went to Work."
Within another hour he had gone to
the White House to "hang up his hat
and go to work" as he himself had
often said, and unlocked the White
House gates which for four years had
been closed to the public. The public
celebrated the event by actually over
running the grounds and peeping
through the windows to see the new
President in conference with cabinet
officers
Mr.. Harding took the oath of office
at l:18 p. M, exactly eight years to
the minute from the time the same
words Of obligation were spoken by
Mr.. Wilson at his first Inauguration.
Pomp Was Missing.
The inaugural ceremonies, conform
ing to Mr.. Hardings wishes, were kept
free from almost every show of the
pomp and circumstance that usually
surround the incoming of chief exec
utive. Thousands witnessed the oath
and cheered the old and new Presi-
dents along Pennsylvania avenue, but
the crowd was only a. traction of the
customary Inauguration throngs.
On the Bible used by George Wash
ington at his first induction into Of
flee, and on verse of scripture ex-
tNling the virtues of an humble faith
in God, Mr.. Harding plighted his best
ability to the presidency. In his inau-
gural address he reafirmed his rever-
ence for the traditions of the fathers
and reiterated his belief that the su-
preme task ahead was to bring the
country once more to normalcy.
All Remained Standing.
The Inauguration ceremony took
place as usual on a stand erected
above the east steps of the Capitol, but
in marked contrast to previous in
augurations, when thousands of seats
were provided. All the distinguished
company had to remain standing Even
the inaugural stand was much smaller
than usual, and was erected to accom-
modate telephone apparatus which
carried Mr.. Harding's voice far out
over the Capitol Place and for the first
time enabled thousands to hear an in
augural address.
About the only features familiar to
inaugurals were the patriotic decora-
tions that futtered under a bright sun
along Pennsylvania avenue and the
usual escort of cavalry acting as a
presidential guard of honor in the ride
to and from the Capitol The only
semblance of a parade was presented
by the little group off, official motor
cars and the hollow square of troopers,
kept at a trot all the way.

QUITS OFFICE WITH, A SMILE
Retiring President Shows No Regret
as He Sheds a-Year Burden,

Washington - Eight storm-tossed
years in the presidency, filled with mo-
ments and scenes that will live forever
in human history, ended for Woodrow
Wilson, "just plain Woodrow Wilson
now," as he himself smiling asserted.
Under his own roof again as a private
citizen, the former president rested
with his burdens Of state transferred
to other shoulders and the shouting
and tumult Of public place behind him.
And through q day that had taxed his
broken physical powers greatly, he
came smilingly and with whimsical
humorous hun twist to his comments, yet
with no hint at regret in his retirement
from high office. ~ J. ~,
