Musical Comedy to
Be Repeated TOnite

Probably no other local musical
comedy has received more favorable
comment that"Round the Clock with
the Shriners," the Korein Patrol
performance presented for the first
time at the Strand Theatre last
night and to be repeated this even
ing.
The scenic effects and pleasing
costumes were perhaps the out
standing features of last nights per-
Torrance while the chorus work
and individual acting of the mem
bers of the cast reflected the di-
rectoral ability of frankie Terril
Young, New York playwrite-pro-
Queer, who directed the perform
ance.
Arrangements have been made
whereby a number of delays. as seen
IN last nights performance, will be
avoided and Director Young states
that tonight's performance will be
shortened approximately forty-ive
minutes. This does not mean. how
ever, that the program will be
altered.
Lack of space forbids the detailed
mention of yesterdays performance,
which account will be contained in
the next issue of The Republican.

Many citizens who last fall par
ticipated In n movement which re-
suited in the selection of the present
site of the Producers and Reiners'
refinery recall the. friendly spirit In
which Mr.. Wertz. and other officials
OF the corporation. met the sug-
gestion that the refinery he located
at Grenyille. AT that time II was
known that an argument OF con-
siderable strength was advanced In
behalf OF FIT. Steele. as the site for
the plant, and when the Producers
and Refiners decided to locate on q
site close TO Rawlins they did so
knowing that such n decision meant
the expenditure of larger sums than
would have been the ase had the
site been closer to the North Platte
river.

IL has been pointed out that kerosene
contains a greater quantity OF heating
energy than coal when the comparison
Is made upon the basis OF weight. one
pound OF kerosene contains about 49,

The cost OF the various fuels for heat
