People?

Of remarkable frequency of
late has this query been addressed
to the PosT-D -DIsPATcH, why not
have a live Chamber Of Com
merce for ROCKINGHAM And
why mott
Towns Of less size throughout
the;country have such organiza-
tions, and theyare bringing home
the bacon. And the time has.
now come when something Of
this sort must be done for Rock
NCHAM. From 1900 to 1910 this
town gained 648 in population,
but from 1910 to 1920 we gained
but 1854. The population accord
ing to the 1920 census gave the
town a population of 2509; 1910,
2155; 1900, 1907. q
Statistics show that the in
creasing cityward drift Of coun.
try populations go over the
smaller town like sheep over a
low gap in a fence. And this
inevitably spells the doom Of the
drowsy town of the towns that
are half-awake, falf-asleep, half
alive, half-dead. But as a matter
of fact. ROCKINGHAM is NOT
dead. This town is one Of the
best possible places to live iflsr
which means, the best schools
and churches, a good library,
wholesome recreation, freedom
from factions, a keen sense Of
civic and social responsibility

we are in a sort Of rut and the
means to shake MS UP is through

agency for town growth, with a
trained paid Secretary and funds
at his disposal to bring things to

When d woman sets out to

the case with ROCKINGHAM. The
town is the best town Of all, but

1t is up to our people to perfect

SPECTACULAR PRODUCTION
''AphrOdite," a Romance OF Ancient
Egypt, to Be Presented in Des
Moines at An Early Date.

Surprising even advance notices
and clinching for all time its claim
to supremacy in the realm of stage
spectacles, "Aphrodite, with it's
mingling of color and pagan music,
its thrilling exotic scenes, its multi
colored, gorgeous, gauzy costumes,
its ancient Egyptian atmosphere and
its eye-satisfying cast of bewitching
beauties, opens a weeks engage
ment at the Des Moines Coliseum,
Monday, January 8, with matinees
Wednesday and Saturday.
No similar production has ever
approached this stupendous specta-
Gle in splendor. The daring of its
producers, the thrilling ingenuity
Of its director and the genius of its
remarkable massed effects, togeth-
err with a large cast endowed with
ability in abundance and pulchri-
tude to spare make "Aphrodite" the
supreme spectacle.
Flashing, Kaleidoscope scenes,
bevies of fascinating sirens display
ing their physical charms through
coverings of filmy lace, breath-taking
stage settings done with lavish taste.
and seductive melodies dripping from
the instruments of an augmented
orchestra all blend to make the mas
sive production splendid evenings
entertainment.
An important fact in connection
with the presentation of the "Aph-
rodite" at the Coliseum will be the
erection of monster stage to ac-
commodate the lavish production. A
corps of special mechanics have ar
rived in Des Moines and all will be
in readiness for the opening per-
Torrance Monday evening, January
9th. The entire lighting system of
the Coliseum will be overhauled and
connections made cor fifty front
lamps, and for an additional electric
heating plant which will augment
the present facilities.
Owing to the great length of the
performance and size of the produc-
ton, night curtains are announced
for s O'Clock and matinees Wednes-
day and Saturday afternoons at 2
o'clock.
Special arrangements have been
made to handle the out.of-town mail

Mr.. and Mrs. Albert ]. Mantz ar
rived in Kimballton Saturday after
noon after an exile of almost three
years near Belle PLANE, Sasketche-
wan, Canada. According to Mr..
Mantz the Canadian farmers have
not felt the hard times with which
this country is afflicted, TO any no
ticeable degree, but they will un-
doubtedly have a taste of them next
year. The Canadian farmers sold
their grain last fsg1l just after
threshing. when prices were still
good, but this year prices are down
considerably. Mr.. and Mrs. Mantz
will spend a few months visiting
with relatives and friends here and
at Audubon before returning TO their
Canadian home.--Kimballton Re

MAKING A GOOD SHOWING

That milking is gaining in favor
as an outdoor sport" in the sum
mer and Indoor sport" in the win
ter is evidenced by the showing
made by the local creamery under
the management or Nielsen Broth
ers. According to Peter B. Nell
sen, who has been in charge OF the
creamery for two years past, they
are now purchasing about seven
times the amount Of cream they did
two years ago. At that time, it was
hardly possible for the creamery to
supply the local stores with butter.
Now about 1000 pounds of butter
are churned each week, and 1t is
with difficulty that Nielsen Broth
ers succeed in gathering in all the
cream that awaits the coming OF the
cream gathering car. The increased
business is due 60 the revival OF
milking to certain extent, but the
enterprise OF the proprietors Of the
creamery also has something to do
with it.-Kimballton Record.
