Community Centers

The city visitor often remarks
that he enjoys country life il sum
mer but could not stand it IN win
ter, because it would be 50 dull "
In many small towns societies and
clubs have so many dates that you
can hardly find an open night if you
want to give an entertainment.
While country town life in the win
ter is thus far more wide awake than
it used to be, still there are a good
many villages where things are
very quiet and the younger crowd
tend to get restless. Also even in a
wide awake place there are apt to be
a good many people who do not fit
in to any special circle This is par
ticularly true Of those who live on
farms and outlying roads. They
feel left out and become discomfort
ed.
A town takes tremendous step
in advance when it gets some kind Of
a community center where all the
people can meet In many towns,

Providing "a community center
does not always mean erection ola

Such equipment if kept idle most Of

In the majority Of country towns
the existing facilities are not ade-

Deer Season Starts Monday.

Beginning Monday morning al
sunrise deer hunters will start the
1922 open season of ten days. The
season begins the 18th and ends the
evening of November -. One buck
not less than a year old is allotted
each hunter--if he connects with
Nh Buck.
The conservation commission has
placed all over this northern section
many extra game wardens and it is
the aim to clean up game hogs and
pot hunters. This element has caus-
Ell the depletion Of game in every
state in the union, and their passing
will be welcomed by the clean sport
who understands that only through
conservation Of the game will hunt
ing be permitted in this section for
years to come. Any man who obeys
the tenets of the law as near as is
possible has no reason to object to
any game warden visiting his hunt
ing camp at any time.
1t is just as easy to be a clean
sport as it is to be one of the other
element. in fact it is much more
pleasanter to everyone concerned to
be one to assist in game preservation
rather than to destroy.
The influx Of hunters has already
started and every day sees their
passing through the village either by
train or auto to their camps in the
woods.
Beginning Wednesday it is un-
lawful to carry any kind of gun
anywhere except in a knock-down
condition. Shotguns are permitted

waters. No rifle, however, can be

JOSEPH VOLANT
ELECTED SHERIFF
Independent Candidate Defeats Re-
gular Republican Nominee for
First Time in the History of
the County.

Fer the first time in the history
Of the county an Independent candi-
date for sheriff defeated the regular
Republican nominee when Joseph
Nolant polled total of 1l15 votes
- Tu -sday's election to GAG cast for
Robt. Erspamer, a majority for Vo-
liant of l66, according to unofficial
figures.
The defeat Of Erspamer came as
surprise to many people in the
county. He won the nomination at
the September primary election in a
field of six candidates. To get the
Republican nomination for sheriff in
this county has generally been equal
70 an election, since the county is a
Republican stronghold, with the re-
suit that at the general election
there was not much splitting of
tickets. Many Independent candida
ties in years past have entered the
race at the general election in Iron
county, but Volant furnishd the only
instance in the history Of the county
that one was elected Volant ran
third at the primaries, Richard Kali
liomaa being the runner-up.
Nolant carried the towns ofAnd-
derson, Carey, Kimball, Knight, Mon
trea., Oma, Saxon, the village of
Hamilton and the First and Fourth
wards in the city of Hurley.
The towns Of Gurney, Mercer and
Sherman went for Erspamer and the
Second, Third, Fifth and Sixth wards
in the city of Hurley.
Following is the vote for sheriff:

The Silent Voice of the People.

There is something majestic in
the power of the popular verdict on
election day. For a long period pre-
vious the country is torn by conflict
ing passions. Bitter things are said
and the air seems filled with dislike
and the spirit of revolt.
Then on election day the hot talk
dies down and the people quietly
move to their polling places and ex-
press their will at the ballot. In
stantly change comes over the
temper of the country. The people
who wake up the next morning and
find themselves beaten usually take
licking gracefully.
If they don't they get laughed at,
as lacking in sporting spirit. In some
lands those that get beaten at the
ballot box take to guns and explos-
ives the next day. But in this coun-
try the quiet acceptance y the
situation proves the superior fitness
of the people for democratic insti-
tutions.

Recital by
 Celebrated Soprano

Miss Ve1ma Balcom of Boston will be heard in a Duo-Art concert at the music rooms of M. Steinert & Sons, 12, at three o'clock. Miss Balocm has conducted a series of forty-three Duo- Art concerts which have been musf- and other New England cities. Her voice is a soprano of lovely quality. Together with the Duo-Art which re- produces the exact playing of the great musicians she gives a delightful performance.
 At this unique recital, Chopin S Sccherzo Opus 31 B. flat minor will be heard played by Joseph Hofmann as he recorded this Chopin compost ton for the Duo-Art, the instrument giving an exact rendering of Hof- mans interpretation of the piece. A comparison number will also be giv- en in which playing by Harold Bauer of the well known Polish Dance may be compared with Scharwenka's in depreciation of the same composition
 Alfred Cortot, the greatest pianist France has ever produced, has re- corded the Hungarian Rhapsodie No II which is one of Liszt's Gypsy Epics." He will also be heard on the Duo-Art program.
 Miss Balcom's songs vii include se- lections by Frank LaForge and Charles Wakefield Cadman's By the Waters of the Minnetonka' in which the singer is accompanied by the com poser himself, through the medium of the Duo-Art.

POli Review

"A good show" These were the words that sum up the opinions of almost all who saw last nights bill at Poli's. Instead of the usual vaude- ville, Misses and Kisses" high class musical revue, by A. Douglass Levitt and managed by B. A Rolfe, was presented, and scored a big hit.
 To select any members of the cast and say that they were the headliners would be unjust to the rest, so well is the play put on. The comedians and the prirna donna, E.. Guy Rar:ck, George D. Weist and Olga Woods, in- deed deserve their places on the bill
 Excellent comedy, brilliant songs, clever dancing, catchy lines, elaborate costumes and settings, a charming chorus, an interesting plot, combined With some good acting, make the act appeal to all.
 Two songs especially we'll rendered are Just Because You're You' and t'Kfgle Goo" Down on Avenue A also received much applause.
 If there is any fault to be found with the revue. it is that it is too short. The 50 minutes, however, are crowded with fast action, and interest never wanes. Many remarks we're heard last night, -T wish it were lonser.---its so good" "Reauty's Worth" featuring Marion Davies and Forrest Stanley. This play, the story of good character tri- un1phant over clothes and luxury has a delightful attraction. The acting is exceptionally good.
 Pathe News and a comedy, Rolling formance. The musical revue will close Wednesday night, but the same company will present June Time the latter half of the week.

TO REENACT BATTLE
 OF JUTLAND AT
 PLEASURE BEACH

The Battle of Jutland is to be re- enacted. At Pleasure Beach on Fri day night. July 14. there will be realistic and soul-stirring reproduc- ton of this, the greatest of all sea battles during the late war.
 Under the direction oH eminent fireworks manufacturers this scene has been depicted with all the noise and the fire that the actual partic1- pants viewed.
 Great ships are blown to atoms, submarines are seen at their nefari- ous work. and destroyers, aircraft and submarine bombs come into play.
 The great German ships are repro duced with accurate fidelity and English craft are likewise portrayed. During the height of the battle there is action for human beings are em- ployed to manoeuver the craft.
 The bombardment is fast and furi- ous and the spectator is led almost to believe that he himself is a partici- pant SO close are the shots fired. By means of ingenious chemical combf- nations the exact coloring of high explosives is reproduced with out that danger which always lies in the actual firing of big guns.
 This is undoubtedly the most pie turesque of any recent oyrotechnfc displays and should not be missed by any person in Bridgeport

With these stars yet to try their luck at the course. Jock Hutchison's wonderful performance or yesterday when he led the first days qualifyers with a total of 1s5 may yet be eclaosed but the opinion prevailed to- day that the lanky Glenview profess s!cnal had made a bit of golhng his- tory when he set the pace.
 While Hutchison was giving the big opening day crowd its thrills so far as professionals are concerned. Chick Evans, the Western champion, provided the spice among the anna teurs. Chick found the going a little tough and finished with a mark of 151, just two points under the score needed to qualify. Evans and Ira L. Couch, the IT year old star of the Glenview club. were the only anna teurs to qualify.
 Among the stars who failed to qualify were Robert A. Gardiner, the former national champion. and Will lie Hunter, former British amateur champion. Gardiner had card of 1 154 and Hunter shot 15s.
