THE KIDD0OS ENTERTAIN

There are no slackers in the educa-
tional and social activities Of Llano Col
ony. and so it is but natural that the
little tots of the Kindergarten should
contribute their share to last Sunday
night's entertainment at the Dixie Pride
Playhouse. And there was no shyness
visible in their demeanor as they faced
the large audience confronting them.
Under the direction Of Mrs. Hendricks,
and Miss Mable Synoground, they, per-
formed their marches and sang their lit
tie ditties perfectly self-possessed, a
credit to themselves and the kindergart-
ners. The juvenile orchestra opened
the performance with stirring ouver-
ture delivered vivaciously and with
comprehensive feeling and furnished
the music for the little ones.
Miss Nellie Kemp contributed one of
her charming vocal solos, always ready
to do her part and more in any one of
the colony activities.
Mrs. Gaddis and Mrs. Scharrer, ac-
Icompanied on the piano by Miss Beu-
lah Galdis. furnished vocal duet. sung
with rare pathos and spirit.
Mrs. DR.. Ferree, by request. gave a
select reading, written in the psychol-
ogy of an unsophisticated, but imagin-
atiye little boy. Her imitation of the
boys manner Of speech was delicately
true to life and created a great deal
of merriment. She encored with a
sailors explanation of the character of
an anthem" made to one Of his mates.
Our rhymster, John Brostrom, then
occupied the stage for a while. and he
aimed his wit especially at the print
shop crew. According to his tale. one
of them has matrimonial designs, while
another aspires to be a mahatma
(whatever that may mean); and thus
the old world wags.
2 Laura Synoground then had her in
ming with defamation, which she ex-
pressed with positive emphasis as if
she was very much in earnest about
it, and her slogan was, DO the best
you canl" All right, Laura. we will
try.
Miss Ford, a visitor, volunteered a
delicious monologue of new papa
who is rather uncertain how to act un-
der the new responsibility thrust upon
him. but is surely bound to learn all
that the position involves in due course
of time. Her contribution was highly
appreciated and we certainly feel all
ways grateful for any contribution that
our neighbors and friends volunteer to
our entertainments.
An anthem solo by Comrade Beav-
ers. assisted BY quartette, consisting
of Mrs. Dougherty and Mrs. Beavers,
Mr.. Gaddis and Bill Beavers. was vo-
cal treat Of the first class. Ii was sure
ly fine singing.

The Burden
By Robert Whitaker.


Not the weak but the strong the burden we bear
We would carry the feeble to-day.
And no one be broken with heartache and care
If the strong would stand out of the way.
We could satisfy all whd have less than they need,
If those who have would refrain;
Want is not the worlds problem, the problem greed
For the slums the backyards of gain.
We prate Of detectives Z and scold the unfit"
But the people who trouble us most
Are the vauned efficient who think they are it,
And know not the things that they boast.
The handsome folks live on the plain folks of course
And the clever fosk live oh the fools;
And the people who work are forever the source
Of the and the riot that rules.
You may double the tax on the mans bread
But the rich still have his cake.
And the foolish must fill up the trenches with dead
That the wise folks may double their stake.
No, it isn't the weakness Of those who weak
That makes the world w-eched and wrongs
We shall some day discover the sinner seek
In the sef-cenered greed greed of the strong
The Public.

THINK WASHINGTON
PARLEY WILL SETTLE
PERU CHILE DISPUTE
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, April 24-Belief that the
long-standing dispute over the appli-
cation Of the treaty of Ancon between
Peru and Chile will be definitely set
tied at the coming conference in
Washington is expressed by DR.. Nell
ton F. Porras, one of the Peruvian del
egates, in an interview with L'Eclair.
Il am absolutely convinced that the
Pacific question has reached its final
stage, and that an equitable solution
will be found in Washington" he said.
The great moral authority of the Unit
cd States is evidently to contribute to
bring our labors to happy conclusion.
The American politicians understand
the question thoroughly.
II cannot exactly say what form
a solution at once compatible with the
realities of the situation and the JUS
tice Of our cause will take, but what
| think we are entitled to hope for is
that under the aegis of the United
States we shall achieve practical re-
suits"

LEAGUE OF WOMEN
VOTERS WILL OPEN
CONCLkVE TUESDAY
CBy Associated Press.)

BALTIMORE, April "a Confer
ences of committee groups of the
National League of Women Voters
were held today to clear the way for
the opening of the third annual con-
vention of the league tomorrow morn
ing. While these were going on the
delegates to the Pan-American confer
ence of women, which ended last night
with a symposium on the great Wo-
men of all the Americas" met inform
ally today to consider a resolution
proposed by the delegates from Uru-
quay, Sonora de Vitale, suggesting a
permanent pan-American union of
women. Strong sentiment for the pro-
posed organization was manifested but
leaders of the conference felt that the
subject was so large and affected so
vitally the interests of the women of
the Latin-American countries that the
delegates from these countries should
have opportunity to consider it in de-
tail and reach a conclusion among
themselves.
This afternoon the delegates will
visit the naval academy and points of
historical interest at Annapolis and
afterwards will be received by Gov.
Ritchie at the executive mansion.

PO|NCARE THREATENS
FRANCE WILL LEAVE
GENOA CONFERENCE
CBy Associated Press.)

BAR-LE-DUC, April "a. - Premier
Poincare announced in speech here
today that if the French delegation at
Genoa could not go ahead with its
work under the agreed conditions,
France would regretfully have to cease
participation in the conference.
France will, if necessary, undertake
alone to see that the treaty of Yer
sailles is executed if the Germans de-
fault in their reparations payments,
Premier Poincare intimated in a
speech before the general council of
the department of the Meuse today.
The 31st of May, when the Germans
must either accept the conditions laid
down by the reparations commission
or default in their payment, is an i'm.
portant date for France, said the pre-
mier. 1t is Frances duty, he added
''in full independence" to assume the
duty of maintaining the integrity OF
the treaty"

FRENCH BACK
PACT TO END
WAR MOVES
Delegation Announces 1t Fav-
ors Proposal by Which Ma
tions Will Abstain From
: Aggression.
GO GRIMLY TO TASK
tBy Associated Press)

GENOA. April 24-The French dele
cation announced today that it was
willing to subscribe to the proposed
pact under which the various nations
would agree to abstain from aggres-
sion, provided it was backed by prop
er guarantees considered especially
necessary in view of the Russo-Ger-
man treaty.
Once more today the gyrating Genoa
conference, which has been alternat
ing between fears and the political
crises which have threatened it alto
gether, set itself grimly TO the task of
readjusting the economic life of Eu-
rope.
The announcement by the German
delegates late last night that they
would not reply to the allies second
note because they did not wish to
endanger the success of the confer
ence was received everywhere with
frankly uttered words of relief, for al
most everybody was beginning to de-
spair secretly that the conference
would end in economic achievement.
Praise italian Heads
In all quarters today were heard
words of praise for the patient effort
of the Italian leaders to establish har-
mony so that the conference might
concentrate upon the constructive
problems for which it was organized.
Six sub-commissions were scheduled
to hold meetings today, and the COM
mittee of experts on the Russian
question made plans to take up seria-
tim the report on the reconstruction
of Russia prepared by the allied ex-
perts who met in London. This re-
port concerns not only the question of
the handling of Russias debts, but al
SO matters vital to foreigners in their
relations with Russia, bearing on the
legal protection they are to have in
| their dealings in Russia.
The soviet delegation has over
, thrown for the moment its noted mem
orandum issued as an answer to the
| experts, because it is in contradiction
with the later Russian note accepting
| the allies terms as a basis of discus.
| sion.
/ Russ Modify Opinions.
| Russian spokesmen explained that
the memorandum, which the powers
found unpalatable, merely voiced the
| opinions of the Soviet delegates at
the first stage of the negotiations,
whereas now they have decided to
modify their earlier opinions
They were careful, however, = to
make the reservation that this modi
fication was contingent upon "the sue
cessfull outcome of the present pour
parlers,' but the conference has pro
duced so many shocks and examina
tions mere phrases no longer are
causing the panic which they did al
the outset of the deliberations.
Everybody appears to desire some
concrete results, and then to return
home feeling that at least hopeful
beginning has been made toward re
building the deranged economic ma
chinery of Europe. Such seems tho
spirit at the opening of the third
week of the conference.

MUST ASK FOR PARTY
BALLOT At PRIMARY,
RIGHT TO CHALLENGE

At the primary election May 2, both
and Democrats will par
ticipate and there will be ballots for
each party. A voter may vote the bal
lot of his party only. If he or she is
a Republican she must call for a Re
publican ballot and if Democrat, for
a Democrat ballot. A voter cannot
vote both. Democrats cannot lawfully
vote Republican ballot nor can Re-
publican vote Democrat ballot.
The coming primary is no different
in any respect than those held during
the last six years and the law is plain
as to party affiliation and voter is
subject to challenge should he seek to
vote a party ballot other than of the
party to which he belongs or for a ma
jority of whose candidates he voted at
the last general election and expects
to vote the ticket Of that party in
November In other words, it is
pointed out, the purpose of the pri-
mary is for Republicans to nominate
their own candidates and for Demo
Gratis to nominate their own candidates
without interference from the opposite
parties of either.
No Change In Voting
The voting will be precisely as IN
other primary elections, the rule be-
ing to mark a cross (X) after the
name of the candidate for whom a per
son desires to vote. In regular elec-
tions the cross is made in front of the
name of the candidates, but voters
should remember that in primaries the
cross is made after the name, not in
front of it. This will apply to the
May primary.
According to predictions made by
party leaders at Indianapolis the vote
at this primary will not bring out more
than 75 per cent of the strength OF
either Republican or Democratic par
| ties. In some localities where there
is much interest in local tickets, the
percentage may be greater, 1t is be
| lieved, but as a general proposition the
/ vote at Indiana primaries in the last
! IL years has ranged between So anC
! IS per cent of the normal vote oi
either of the leading parties.
