to speak with authority declares
that not once did Judge Showalter

did Mr.. Arnett threaten the
members with awful, penalties II
they failed to take out their dog
licenses within the next ten days.
Those there are who inclined
toward the opinion that Doctor
Jamison said a few words about
the milk situation and that Doc

dacy little, but this allegation
has not been full authenticated.

Old times in camp, incidents
amusing and ridiculous, were re.

the members. The party IS oe-
clared to have broken up some
where in the neighborhood of IL

open to doubt but the host, MI
Arnett, declares he was in bed be-
fore midnight. However, he re-
fused to say whether it was mid
night last night or midnight to-
night. so his statement has been
overru1ed.
The Racoon Fishing Club ban
ouet is an annual institution and
throughout the years the memb ers
have been joyfully faithful in
their attendance. There are said
to be other reasons than the fresh
fish dinner.

Tho Dixie.

"The Child, Thou Gavest Me-"
the offering at the Dixie today, is
a story that enlists the interest OF
the beholder in the very begin
ming, and holds it to the end, but
the real secret of it all is not dis
closed until the last.
Because of this there is a GER
tain element of suspense and
mystery woven into the plot,
which arouses the curiosity. The
clever child actor, Richard Head
rick, is the child in question, and
in this role he is seen at his best.
The scenes are beautifully
photographed and splendidly di-
rected.

Nurses Salary Less
Than a Cake Of Soap
(By Associated Press)

London-The monthly salary of a
nurse in the municipal hospital in
Moscow is less than thee cost of a cake
of soap in that city. This striking
example of the disproportion between
wages and the cost of living in the
Russian capital is disclosed in re-
port just made by special commission
sent to Russia by the health committee
of the League of Nations.
The commission says that cake of
soap in Moscow cost $500 rubles,
while nurses in the city hospital were
paid only 5000 hubles month and
that they had to be content with very
scanty food.
The poverty and misery that pre-
vailed in Russia as seen in the hos
pitfalls which the commission visited
made deep impression upon the mem
bers. Nevertheless, the commission
stated, there is high state of eff
fciency in the municipal hospital and
the commission emphasized the spirit
of sacrifice displayed by those en-
trusted with ministering to the health
of the Russian people, especially OF
the children.
