EMILY WATERMAN
co. HERE SOON
IS FIRST NUMBER ON LOCAL LY-
CEUM COURSE FOR THE
SEASON.

The Emily Waterman Co. VIII ap'
pear at the Washington High School
auditorium Saturday evening, NOV.
IL, in the first Lyceum attraction OF
the 1922 season. The company IS
composed of Emily Waterman, noted
Iyceum reader and impersonator;
Florence Rogers, pianist and soprano,
and Margaret Magner, violinist. Each
of the trio is an artist of wonderful
ability, judging from the comment OF
critics in this and foreign countries
ard there is treat in store for those
who come out to this Lyceum number.
Commenting On Miss Waterman,
the Japan Gazette of Yokohama, ia
pan, says: "One item of the program,
as unexpected as it was delightful,
was the appearance of a complete
stranger in Yokohama. This is Miss
Waterman of America. No other
country on earth could have produced
just this sort of genius. She came
and talked and conquered 1t was a
triumph of comedy of the refined, tell
ing sort, and staid people, who did
not at all want to, laughed till they
cried"
There are six numbers in the Ly-
Al L.,
the direction of White G Myers of
Kansas City. The remainder of the
attractions are as follows: The Nea-
politan Troubadours, The Boy1s,
Frank G. Armitagc, DIR. William
RAIDER and Mr.. Carlton Chamberlayne.

TRUCK BOYS
DONATE WORK
SET FINE EXAMPLE BIZ GRAVEL.
ING FRANKLIN stare
GIVEN BANQUET.

A demonstration in cooperative eff
fort worthy Of emulation by local cit
liens was staged here Friday and Sat
urday Of last week, when the truck
boys" spent one and a half days in
placing gravel on Franklin street
without compensation. Did they put
their heart into the work? Well I'll
say they did. As a result of this eff
fort the street leading from the high
way at the Bank corner to the Mis-
souri-Pacifc station was graveled to
the brow of the depot hill.," making
travel easy where vehicles formerly
would go hub deep in the sand. The
only cost of this work to the town
was the gas and oil used in the trucks
the owners and drivers donating ma
chimes and labor.
This is one Of the finest examples
of public spirit ever witnessed here,
especially when one considers that the
truck owners and drivers participant
ing, with only a few exceptions, are
not residents of Washington, being
employed in construction work On the
Washington, Columbus and Hope
highway with temporary headquarters
here.
Hurrah for the truck boys!"
An attempt to show gratitude to
the struck boys" took shape In the
form of a banquet and oyster supper
at the Masonic Hall Saturday evening
After the banquet the boys were sup
piled with tickets by the committee
and attended the show at the school
auditorium.
Parties having wagons and teams
have expressed their willingness 20
complete the graveling of the street
t., he depot, and this will be done at
an early date.

NO PAPER LAST WEEK Is
DUE TO LACK OF POWE;

Owing to machinery trouble at the
Telegraph plant and lack of electric
ity for power, It was not possible to
get out an issue Of the Telegraph last
week. The management regrets this,
but it could not be helped.

been crippled for the past several
weeks, as the storage battery service
used during the day is being -ebuiit

cine occurred the latter part of last

LOCAL YOUTH is
FREED OF CHARGE

Walter Robertson, local white youth,
was found not guilty in Esq. Bakers
court here Monday On charge of
transporting liquor. He was arrested
by Deputy Sheriff L. E. WOLF, who
testified that he saw Robertson leave

his car on a side street and had some
thing hid under his coat when he got
out and disappeared in the direction oi
warehouse, soon reappearing. Tne
officer hid near the building and had
to wait only a short time when Rob
ertson reappeared and went under the
building, taking a quart jar from a
sill. He said he then went around to
where Robertson came Cu5 and stop
ped him, but that the youth broke the
jar before he could take it from him.

pool Of the fluid and that it was whis-
key. The accused did no; ceny any
of the allegations and made no state
ment.

MAlNUTRlTIoN IN AMERICA
AMONG RICH AND POOR ALIKE

Only four per cent of the children in
the plains section in the United States
are normal, according to survey re-
Gently made by the American Red
Cross and the United States Public
Health Service jointly. A large per-
centage Of subnormal children are so
because Of malnutritlon. Malnutrition
is answerable for more ills in the child
life of America than any other one
cause, II has been ascertained, and this
condition is found as frequently among
the children of the rich as in the fam
lilies Of the poor.
The Red Cross, through It's nutri-
tion classes and diet educational work,
is endeavoring to correct the wide
spread condition of under-nourishment
and to lay the foundation for. a
healthier next generation by building
up the strength of the children. In
the United States there are over 1000
nutrition classes in which more than
22,000 children are enrolled In ,addi-
tlon to this there are 1853 classes in
Food Selection with over 1000 stu
dents, all of whom either are in ad-
yanced school grades or are adults.
With a work of this magnitude, with
an effort constantly to increase its
scope, the Red Cross hopes in the next
few years to teach American children
what to eat, when TO eat it, and how
much of 1t to eat, so that under-nour-
ishment will no longer be a menace to
the health of the nation.
