Maddocks-Park Players to Present Seasons Big
 qeSt Success

The Maddocks-Park Players are staying with the book plays these days, as the patrons seem to enjoy them to q far greater extent than they do the up-to- the. minute Broad way releases, and for that reason the management has arranged to give one more of the well known book plays for the coming week at the Majestic.
 "St. Elmo" is scheduled to open Monday matinee at this house for q weeks run and according to the management the seat sale has far exceeded anything so far and advises the patrons to start early in the week in order that they may he taken care of.
 Everyone will remember how the people stood in the rain last season 10 try and get seats for this we'll known "St Elmo" at the Majestic and that thousands were turned away during the week because the house was too small to hold the crowds.
 
 it is different from most pays and carries with 1t a wonderful lesson, and one likes to see 1t over and over again. The story is well known, and with Mae Park in the role of Edna Earle the little mountain girl who reforms St. Elmo, and MT. Hackett in the title role, one will see a good team in this particular play. And also will be remembered Sam Park in that funny inventor Van Jiggens, who keeps the folks in good humor. as well as Jimmie Stone as the doc tor and other members of the com pany in extra good parts.
 According to Manager Maddocks the save iAoney coupons issued in the papers proved to be such suc- cess that they will issue them again for "St, Elmo week, good for any performance except Saturday, which will put this book play at price lower than before the war, and should appeal to hundreds who would like to attend. It is expected that ar engagements will be made to play '"rhe Three Twins" for semi centen- nial week which is a great laughing show.

Famous Minstrel Aggregation Here This Week With
 Four Performances

Minstrelsy, or the form of theatrical . entertainment now known by that name, celebrated it's anniversary as an octogener.an in 1920, having orig mated in lS40.
 Al G. Field, whose famous min strels, vintage of 1921, appear at the Jefferson theatre Thursday, Fri day and Saturday, with matinee Sat urday, has written an interesting book on The History of Minstrelsy," and in it he tells how thls form of entertainment had it's inception.
 A benefit perlormance was being arranged for the late R. w. Pelham, a famous American actor, who was widely known in his day as the man who introduced darky Impersona- tions as specialties between the acts of legitimate performances,
 While plans for the benefit were in the forming, it was suggested that by way of novelty various actors famed for their black-face speclalties, who had always appeared in single turns, should be grouped In one big act, working together as a whole In singing and dancing num- bers as well as giving individual numbers The idea was enthusi- astically received and led to the first semi-circular first part ar engagement now so familiar to min strel audiences. The benefit was an unusual success.
 Among the actors famous in that day for his black face specialties was T. D. Rice. He received the nick name of Jim Crow Rice in recog milton of popular form of minstrel show dance he had originated known as the Jim Crow" dance. Others fla nous for their burnt cork imper- sonations. in the early days of min- strelsy included Billy Whitlock, Frank Bower Daniel Decatur Elm met and the R. w. Pelham referred to above

Before the days of tournaments large horses were almost unknown in England. The need of a powerful mount to carry a knight in armor led breeders to develop the type of steed that eventually gave rise to the modern British breeds of draft horses.

FILMING "BENBOW TAVERN"

The million readers who have en-
joyed Robert Louis Stevenson's most
popular novel, Treasure Island
will remember the old "BenboW
Tavern in which the opening
episodes are laid. 1t was supposed
to be located on the rocky English
coast and to be Mecca for seafaring
men. In the screen version of the
famous story, which is delighting
audiences at the Orpheum theater
this week, Maurice Tourneur repro
duced faithfully the ancient lodging
house.
For his location he chose place
along the California coast where
rocks and sand-bars run out into the
sea and which is so dangerous for
navigation on that account that it is
called "the graveyard of ships" On
this bleak spot Mr.. Tourneur erected
building of stucco modelled faith
fully after the description Of the
tavern in Treasure Island Few
people, by the way, know that Ben
bow Inn was named after Admiral
John Benbow, an old-time sea-ighter
in the English navy.

and since boyhood has worked as a
cabinet-maker, putting his spare time

When questions were asked about
the activities of the farm bureau,
they were directed at the commits
sioners and if the commissioners did
not have the information they re-
ferred the question to County Agent
E. w. Stephens, who answered when
called upon, but did not volunteer
any information excepting when he
was asked for it. When some one
referred to the county farm bureau
board as asking for money or beg
ging for money Everett Green, the
chairman of the board rose to offer
a correction. He said that the
gentlemen constituting the farm bur-
eau board were not beggars for
themselves nor for the public. They
were donating their services to the
public in management of the farm
bureau activities; they required
money to pay the salaries and other
expenses of those activities and that
they, thru their county agent, had in
formed the county commissioners of
the amount of money they would
like to have appropriated to conduct
the expenses of the coming year
They had not as quoted made de-
mands upon the county for anything.

They were not in the attitude Of
beggars; they were in the position of
public servants working without pay
and working for the public good. If
they had to be put in the position
Of beggars when they filled the posi-
ton where they donated their s>x-,
vice to the public, II that was the
attitude of the people Of this county
they were ready to lay down their
work right now, but that was not
true and he did not believe that the
public in general held them in that
regard.
Mr.. Just had made the statement
that the farm bureau had stepped In
Immediately. after the commissioners
took the oath of office and demanded
$500 before any other business was
done. Commissioner J. R. Williams
rose to correct that statement say
ing that when the new board was
sworn into office, the county clerk
had informed them that there was
some unfinished business that they
might wish to take up before they
went on with routine matters and
that the appropriation for the farm
bureau was one of them. They had
made application for the amount of
money they desired for use during
the year and 1t was proper to have
that acted upon at the January meet
ing. The board said they would like
to have talk with the county agent
regarding his plans for the year and
what he proposed to undertake. The
clerk telephoned Mr.. Stephens and
asked him when it would be agree
able to him to meet with the board
and he said he was ready at any mo-
ment and could come over then If
they wished. That was agreed upon
and he was the first one heard. He
presented budget in which he
showed that $500 would be the
maximum amount that he might
need from the county. 1t was not a
demand and there was no reflection
on the county agent for having been

for q hearing from those who made
the indictment. They had assembled
and were now ready to hear those
who had anything to say backing up
the complaint. II the petitioners
were present 1t was up to them to
speak and present their case. Then
II the farm bureau had anything to
say they would come on with re-
buttal.
Maneuvering for Advantage
James Just was one Of the petit
TONERS and he rose and stated that
he understood 1t In this light: that
the farm bureau was operating on
money that the county had put up
year ago. They had spent $9340
Of county money besides state and
federal money and had come back
now and asked for more. It was the
purpose Of the taxpayers to have an
accounting and ask them what they
had done with the $9.34O already
given them and after finding out
what they had done with that money
1t would be time enough for the tax
payers and the commissioners to de-
eide whether they had made good
use of 1t and whether they would
give them any more to spend. In his
opinion 1t was up to the farm bureau
to show what use they had made of
the money and then II the petition
ers had anything to say they would
say 1t in rebuttal.
w. H. Scott, a former member of
the board countered by saying that
the farm bureau is a going institu-
ton. 1t has been going for a num-
Der of years; 1t was organized for
the purpose of operating in the
county on county, state and federal
money; it has not expected to oper-
ate by any other means and If any
one wishes to interrupt its activities
or put stop to it, it is up to them
to show the reason for It.
Trapping the Unwary
Mr.. Just answered that the farm
bureau was an experiment, that they
had expended last year about $13,-
900 and there was a general COM
plant thruout the county that the
taxpayers were not getting much if
anything in return. There were
many taxpayers who were complain
