Dramatic Club to
Give Benefit PLAY

An Arizona Cowboy" "a four-act
comedy drama, will be presented at
the High school auditorium next Sat
urday evening, March IS, by the Tiger
Butte Dramatic club. Those who
have seen the play declare it to be
a highly entertaining one, abounding
with all the climaxes which its title
suggests, and say that the members
of the club present 1T in really cred
liable manner. Ted Johnson will be
seen as the cowboy sheriff, who does
his duty, and julius Paulson as his
partner. Harry Siegling takes the
part of stranger from Frisco, while
his bride plays the dual role of his
sister and Mrs. Petunia Bugg, from
'old lndianny." Rasmus Nelson takes
the part of glorious liar, while Wal
fred Sheldon is the Chinaman so nee
essary to all western plays. Ralph
Irwin interprets the part of Navajo
chief, while Nels Johnson is very sue
cessful asa cattle thief Miss Edith
Engdahl, as the pretty ranch owner,
is abducted, and Miss Elinor Peters,
as an Indian maiden, is sacrificed to
save her, while Mrs. Walfred Shell
don, as young 'un," is mot much of
anybody"
The play is being given for very
worthy cause-to add to the fund
which will enable George Mahoney TO
go to a specialist for treatment need
ed to restore him to perfect health,
and for this reason the members of
the club hope to play to full house.

formed about Is years ago by the bus
mess men of the town, Incorporated

par value of $40 per share fully sub
scribed and paid for in cash. With
the 500 thus raised pool hall was
opened with soft drinks and candy
for sale and at once became popular
with the young men. No gambling or
drinking was permitted. nor school
boys allowed to frequent the place.
The object was TO supplant the saloon
asa place for recreation and the busi-
ness was successful from the Begin
ming. Since the opening SO in dfvi-
dends has been paid for each $40 share
Of stock At various times the cap
italizatjon has been increased by the
issue Of few shares Of stock until
the total shareholders are about 100.

Attendance at the Farmers Short
Course, held Thursday, Friday and
Saturday of last week, was disap-
pointing to the promoters and was far
short of that of former years. due
in great measure to the almost i'm
passable roads and the mild epidemic
of influenza prevailing. For those
who attended, however. the discus
sions were none the less interesting
and instructive, and the entertain
ment features equally enjoyable as
any given in past years. The same
causes detrimental to attendance ac-
counted for the small display in the
poultry exhibit, but this made up in
quality what it lacked in numbers,
The exhibit made by the grade schools
and normal training department. an
feature, called for an un-
usual amount of favorable comment,
and creditable showing of the pro-

noon in the auditorium building with
several selections by the Higt school

missioners, and Chairman Ben C.
Kommers have been working upon the
proposition for the past week Let
ters have been sent and inquiry made
of the state highway commission as
TO what may be done In the matter.
There viii be something like half
million dollars Of road money to be
spent in the county this year. split
ting the federal aid funds, and it is
the idea being worked out by the
board to have the contracts let in
small units to farmers of the count
ty, as the railways do, instead of let
ting the road in one hump bid 10 a
large contracting firm. To bring this
about the county would be willing to
take the contract itself, IL possible,
and sublet In units Of half mile or
so to different persons, the work to
be done under the supervision Of the
state highway commission, bat the
.ounty To furnish engineers to aid the
small contractors in carrying out the
work

DESPITE SHORTAGE

W had obligations to keep the
mission fields going" declared Charles
E. Carey. of Paramount, in explaining
b deficit of the Board of Foreign
missions at a session of the Indiana
yearly meeting of Friends Friday,
and we could not go back on the
promises that we had made to the
various yearly meetings who a
turned them over to US.
TT cost more to bring missionaries
home than it did to keep them in their
field for a year" he explained, &C
counting for the keeping up of the mis-
sion fields in certain cases.
The ability of the Friends to raise
the slight deficits each year before,
the unexpected slump in financial cir
cles, and the raise in costs of main
tanning the mission stations were all
given as contributory facts.
Belle c. Bailey opened the meeting
with devotional services, while Charles
E. Carey followed with the Admins
trative Problems of the Board" Alta

ing that the money for the proposed

up of the meeting had not been pro
vided by the yearly meeting and tina,
plans had to be dropped.
Adopt New Plan
A new plan for the raising of tht
finances of the yearly meeting was pro
posed by the permanent board. 1t pro

1t is proposed that the moneys TO
all purposes be raised at n drive
and that all of the funds raised be sen
up to the Yearly meeting and Fiv
Years meeting through the regula
