THRONC TO SEE .
MUSICAL PLAY
Best of City's Talent Appear To-
night In Tuneful Comedy
'Katcha-Koo'

With practically everything in the
house sold out, a bright, crisp au-
tumn day and everybody happily an
comedy which closed it's final rehear-
sal Thursday night, the prospects are
bright for the best amateur perform
ance which has ever been staged in
Americas.
A feature which adds everything
to the anticipation Of the production
is that it is composed entirely Of local
talent, the very best which the city
affords, among whom are many with
splendid qualifications for putting on
u rea. professional play. Among the
number of stars are Miss Melva Clark,
who has enjoyed several years ex-
perienee before musical audiences
Prof. Ned Warren, who has a store
of faistrionic art; Miss Vera Henry
James Davenport, Otis Physioc, Miss
Glaude Sherlock, Miss Marie Walker,
and a score of others.
The dances will prove a delightful
variation from the usual amateur
performance.
The grand finale comes when al
the various groups, comprising $50
performers, form into one grea
whole and present Liberty Aflame, "
patriotic tableau.
The Music Study Club under whose
the production is being staged, is
gTatified at the success of the under
taking and expresses appreciation to
each one who has contributed time
and talent to its production.

Stop! Look. Listen! Saturday, Oc-
tober Is, is ging to be home coming
dav at the library. All The books that
you have borrowed, misplaced, fof-
gotten and neglected to return, you
are to bring back, and no fines are
to be paid on taat one day. Don't you
think this is a good chance to DO
yourself and the library a good turn?
The scoutmaster and the boy
scouts are going to help bring IN the
books and we want to pile them upon
tables as many as five hundred
orNeven more. We want to fill the
shelves with books long overdue and
give the other fellow something new
to read. It is selfish to keep book
overtime, even if you pay the fine
because there are just a thousand or
more other people who may want to
read just that particular book.
The library lis planning a great
many new things for the fall and
winter.
First, however, must come the
books, so everybody search his con
science and his book shelves and come
in Saturday with an armful of lost
books, or tell us where you know
there are library books and the boy
scouts will bring them in for you.
The scouts will work Saturday for
love of public institution that can

j. 5. COMMERCE
On AMERICAN
BOATS WANING
Statistics Show Trade Carried
Has Fallen Off 6 Per Cent
In Past Year.

A steady decline In the proportion
OF American trade carried In American
ships as compared with foreign bot.
toms Is shown In figures made public
by the Department OF Commerce.
For the first eight months Of 1891
the share d the total valuation OF our
imports. American-carried. was se.s6
per cent. as compared with 42.7s per
cent for the same period In 1920. The
proportion OF exports transported by
American vessels showed a decline
from +6.45 per cent for the 1920 pe-
riod TO 1928 per cent for this year.
One significant feature of the fig
ures Is the fact that during the first
eight months Of this year and also last
year the volume of tonnage entering
United States ports was practically
the same for foreign and American
vessels. approximating 30 per cent In
each case. The record of vessels
cleared. however. develops a marked
discrepancy. American tonnage ag'
gregated only 46 per cent. as against
81 per cent for foreign.
This is considered due to the fact
that a large number of Shipping Board
and privately owned steamships have
been tied up upon their arrival in do
mestic ports. while foreign ships have
started out on the return voyage.
An analysis of the figures shows
that foreign vessels have been more
successful in maintaining their opera
tions, whether at loss or not. than
American ships. Last year American
steamers carried 42.79 per cent of the
total value OF United States imports,
an compared with 57.21 per cent In
foreign bottoms. This year the
American value has dropped to 1886
per cent, against 63.l5. The export
trade reveals q similar situation.

VOTE ON CHURCH SITE.

Since the fire of Junes 13 when
the M E. church in this town was
among the buildings destroyed, the
question of rebuilding on the old
site at corner of Main and Walnut
streets, or on new location has
been discussed, voted on, reconsider
ed, voted on again, and still seems
to be no nearer settled than the day
after the fire.
A congregational meeting was
held on Sunday last and final vote
taken on the question Of site. A
preliminary vote eliminated con-
sideration of but two sites, the one
whereon the walls of the burned
structure stand, and site just
north of the large barn of VIM. M.
Pogue The final vote resulted In
63 for the old site, and AZ for the
barn site.
This vote placed the matter In
the hands of the Official Board and
a meeting of this body was held on
Wednesday evening, but the vote of
the congregation was not ratified, a
compromise lot being sought by
those who favor new location.
Action was deferred until later
date, but several members of the
Board declare they will take no fur
ther part in the parleys, as the SEN
timent of the majority membership
has definitely settled the question
as far as they are concerned.
