quickly darkened and we witness
real lesson in geography. We learn
that the musical director is working
up an operetta for the entertainment
Of the large body of farmers who are
soon to attend the annual Harvest
Festival held at the school. After
chapel exercises, we view the various
class rooms. We find that in some
rooms the pupils are engaged In super
vised study We pass on TO the man
ua training room where the boys and
girls are learning to make many USE
full articles needed on the farm. We
next visit the library with It's large

dren spend many happy hours when
the weather is unfit for them to be
on the play grounds. We visit the
dormitories and are informed that
pupils from distance spend the week
at the school, going home on Friday
evenings. when weather permits. and
any objection we may have had TO the
dormitory idea vanishes when we see
the systematic method Of caring for
the children under the dormitory su-
pervisors.
We have this modern school feeling
as never before, the Importance Of
properly educating the rising genera
in the moulding Of more efficient
standard bearers for our Great Repub-
lie. The only knocker we found. was
an old hide bound batchelor, but
when we asked him to price his farm,
he actually had the nerve to ask two
hundred dollars per acre. AS we

DEACON DUBBS' PLEASES

deacon Dubbs" the three act rural
comedy drama presented by the Wood
High School at the new Legion Hall,
last Saturday evening, was exception
ally we'll received by the large aud
ence that greeted the initial appear
ance of this local company of play ers.
The weather Saturday was quite
threatening and this kept many Of the
country folks at home, who otherwise
would have attended the show. This
was the first appearance behind the
footlights for majority OF the players
presenting this drama, and to say that
they acquitted themselves in man
ner that reflects much credit upon
themselves and their director. Prof.
Hamilton, is putting it very mildly.
A number of the cast showed real tai
ent and enacted their roles with the
skill and finish of veterans. Prot.
Hamilton in the title role and Miss
Jessie Sinkler as Miss Philipena
Popover" were very good and did
some real acting. Howard onescheit
as deuteronomy" and Miss Irene
Hall as the Swedish hired girl, and
Miss Beulah Krieger as "Trixie" the
village cut up, provided the comedy
and all three carried their parts well,
and they Invariably convulsed the
audience with laughter when they ap.
peared. Miss Edith Sinkler as Emily
Dale" the rich girl, certainly did the
par: fall justice, while Miss Grace
Ogden as "Rose Raleigh" the brave
little school ma'am, and Dallas Moore
as Amos Coleman" her lover, carried
their parts very we'll, considering that
this was their first appearance. Ed
Sinkler as "Rawdon Crawley" made a
very good william and he met his just
deserts before the curtain fell on the
last act. Major McNutt" the auc
ticneer was the character impersonat
ed by Raymond Sawyer. All in all it
was very credltable production, end
in fact far better than many had ex
pected to see 1t represented much
hard work and study on the part of
the actors. We hops the company
will decide to favor us with another
production in the not distant future,
and weather permitting, We feel safe
in saying that the new Legion Hall
will not be large enough to hold the
crowd that will want to see them in
their second appearance in Wood
We understand that the company is
contemplating presenting Deacon
Dubbs" at White River in the near
future and may also decide to visit
some OF the other neighboring towns.
All who saw the play Saturday night
felt that they got full value for their
money,

FIRE DAMAGES
ROBBINS BUILDING
DESTROYS MODERN KITCHEN
AND FIXTURES IN NEWLY
EQUIPPED POOL ROOM.

The kitchen in W. S. Robbins new
pool room and restaurant was al
most entirely destroyed by fire at an
early hour this morning, damaging
the building and fixtures to the
amount of about $4,000. The building
was fully insured, but there was no
insurance on the fixtures, which
represent much of the loss.
1t is evident that the fire started
under the big range, which stands
along the south wall of the building,
and soon burned through the floor,
giving the flames good draft. The
heavy timbers were entirely burned
out underneath the range. 1t was
under good headway when discovered
by someone in Huff's restaurant, who
saw the flames and smoke. The alarm
was given and the fire department
soon had water playing on the
flames. By this time, however, the
interior of the kitchen was a charred
ruin. Fortunately but little damage
was done to the equipment outside OF
the kitchen, either by fire or water,
the firemen, by using commendable
care, keeping the water confined to
the area which was in flames. The
only damage in the front part of the
building is a cracked plate glass show
window. This was broken by the
heat from the rear of the building.
An insurance adjuster is expected
today and as soon as the loss is ad-
justed Mr.. Robbins will begin the
work of rebuilding and equipping the
kitchen. He had one Of the most
completely equipped kitchens in the
city and had opened his place of bust
ness within the past two weeks.

NOW in MOSCOW
FIVE U. S. VETERANS BUREAU
MEN HERE In INTEREST OF
EX-SERWCE MEN

The u. S. Veterans Bureau clean
up squad has arrived in town and is
located in the postmasters office in
the Federal building, where they may
be interviewed by any ex-service man
with reference to his compensation,
vocational training, lost discharge,
Liberty bonds, insurance, travel pay,
etc.
The work done by the cleanup
squad is part of nation wide cam
paign to get as many of the outstand-
ing claims adjusted as possible at the
earliest possible moment. The squad
itself is not in a position to make
adjustments of claims, but is COM
posed Of men who are familiar with
the work, and who are in position
to render valuable assistance to any
one who may be having difficulty in
the proper presentation of his claim.
The squad is in a position to take
new applications, make the proper
physical examinations, and, wherever
necessary, authorize hospital treat
ment It is urged that every service
man of the World War, who does not
feel as we'll, as result Of service,

that, in the event this condition should
become worse, at any time in the
future, he will have some protection
against it, The longer he waits, the
more difficult it will be for him to
establish the fact that his disability
is incident to, or result of, service.
Reinstatement of the government

important that the men should not
overlook this matter Present regu-
lations with reference to reinstate-
ment will expire December 81, 1921.

ance representative, V. o. Lee, and
