NEXT WEEKS VAUDEVILLE

DR.. Maynard Pringle this morning
announced four good attractions for
the Merchants Bureau free vaude-
vile next Wednesday evening. Dude
Drulard, the dancing demon will show
the people Of Alma and vicinity some
clever footwork in high class dane
ing act. He will be followed by a
high grade blackface comedian, who
is certain to have the crowd busting
before he gets well started and to
continue to give them sidesplitters
while he is on the platform. Alfred
p. Sarl, the man with the mysterious
iingers, will give a magic entertain
ment that will be just as puzzling as
it will be pleasing. A ventriloquist,
of far more than ordinary ability, is
also scheduled as part of the enter
tainment of the evening.
The cast of this past Wednesday
evening were of high class and
were well appreciated by those who
heard them. Some people, however,
had difficulty in hearing, owing to the
constant shuffling of feet, loud talk
ing in the crowd, etc. Thise who do
not desire to hear the performances,
and desire to talk, should seek other
places in which to converse, as many
of their neighbors are present to hear
the attractions. People should re-
member that they should get in front
of the stand if they desire to hear to
the best advantage.

closely to her by reason Of the late
Ammi w. Wright having set such a
glittering example for her people to
strive to emulate to such degrees as
they may find possible. Alma, in
defeating this memorial monument
to her benefactor did not do so as a
repayment for the wonders that he
wrought in the community which he
called home, but rather that her citi-
zens might continue to realize the ex-
ample of good citizenship that had
been set for them, and that they
might never forget the debt to the
former distinguished citizen which
Alma can never pay, unless it should
be by doing homage and honor at his
shrine and from his worthy example
becoming better and more unselfish
citizens.

What Are symbrea,s?

The novel of the future, according
to Shaw Desmond, will be like his
novels, not novel at all but a SYM
breal. Mr.. Desmond goes on in highly
technical and polysyllable terms to
define what symbreal is, comparing
1t to a kaleidoscope, and to a many
faceted diamond. but disregarding the
spelling, one is very likely to think
the name originated with the tinkling
symbal and that the great difference
lies in the Introduction of one syllable

The incubator room or cellar should
be large enough to allow the attend

provided with some system of ventila-
tion in addition to the windows, while
in others the ventilation is controlled
entirely by the latter method. Muslin
screens on the windows provide good
ventilation without draft and at the
same time keep the direct rays of the
sun from the machines. Many incuba.
tor cellars have cement floors, which
are easier than dirt floors to keep clean

ufacturers to Quick Action.

Local merchants in some cases al
ready are having difficulty in obtain
ing shipments of their goods, it was
learned today. and this served to spur
the efforts for the appointment of
committee of the Merchants and Man
ufacturers Association which is to
formulate plans for the movement of
goods in the event that the railroads
fail.
The personnel of the committee
which is to be appointed by Brig
Gen. Anton Stephan. president of the
association, will not be announced
until each member has accepted the
position. There will be much work
for the committee. and it is not con-
sidered BILE to appoint any one
who will not have time TO give to this
most important work.

the statement of the railroad freight
agents is quite true that lots of

Freight is congested all along the

shipments which ordinarily are re-
ceived here few days after they
leave the point of origin now take
weeks.

map out plans for getting materials
into the city in the event the rail-
roads fail or shipments are delayed
and is to acquaint each merchant

cial representatives OF France, to-
day and thereby were started the
first formal negotiations leading to
the funding Of the allied war debt
to America.

session, before which NJ. Parmentier

tier declined to discuss the pro-
spective negotiations. maintaining
that anything to be- said should come
from Secretary Mellon, who Is chair
man of the commission.
Several sessions between NJ Par
menticr and the commission will be
necessary, 1t was believed at the
Treasury, before the French repre-
sentative will be able to submit to his
government for approval tentative
arrangements for transferring the de-
mand notes of France held by this
country into long time obligations
Under the authority of Congress Gre
ating the debt commission the matu-
rites of the funded foreign obliga-
tions are limited to twenty-five years
and the interest rates to not less than
AZ per cent. but there have been in
dtcations at the Treasury that some
consideration might be given a lower
rate. although special permission
from Congress would be required to
make lesser charge possible.
Arrangements worked out with
France. according to the view at the
Treasury, probably will form the
model for the funding plans adopted
with the other debtor nations. with
the exception of Great Britain, which,
1t has been reported. is preparing to
begin the payment of interest on its
IS. 900. 100000 debt to this country in
