The benefit vaudeville show given
i'm McGill by members of the knights
of Pythias lodge is definitely going
To show in Ely Saturday e \ AT
the Bio hall. When given in MeGill
the show was an overwhelming sue
cess and ilieited more favorable com
ment than anything which has been
here for a number OF years. In all
there are ten acts. each one OF which
is we'll worth the price of admission,
and for an evening of pure enjoy
ment no one can afford 10 miss this
entertainment.
The dance given by the Mothers
Club at the employees clubhouse

ioyable affair and was we'll attended.
The drawing for the electric coffee

Tuesday evening the juvenile Of.
hcer. Thomas Haley. met with the
Mothers Club and gave them a talk
regarding the law and its enforce.
ment covering the sale to and use of

habit which certain young hoys ui
NcGill have OF making the poolhalls

MeGill are without a doubt far and
away above the average Of such
pidceS ana the management DO al
possible 10 make them places OF good
clean amusement for the men OF the
community. and TO say they have
met with success is but giving them
their just dues. However. notwith.
standing this fact. a pool hall IL
hardly the place for young boys 10
loaf In and car hardly help but leave
an u~nfayorable mark on the future
character OF those coming men who
make this a practice. There seems
10 be n law in this state which makes
II legal for boys TO frequent these
places with the sanction of the
parents; at least that is the popular
opinion here. but II might be well
for those interested in the welfare
OF young America 10 take this Ut
and see what can be done. The pro.
prietors of the McGill pool hall seem
TO be heartily in accord with any
such movement and are willing tc
do their part toward anything which
will help the boys along the right
line.
