WESTERN SLOPE CANDY STORE
USES ONLY PURE SUGAR

How much is it worth to you faith
ers and mothers to know that the
candy which your children eat is
made only from pure sugar? During
the past few years glucose and many
deleterious substances have been used
to such an extent that analysis has
disclosed that candy in any quantity
with such deliberations would be
not much less than suicide.
The Western Slope candy store is on
Institution of which Delta may Justly
be proud. Mr. Jones informs US that
he uses only the purest sugar and
other materials in the making OF his
candies and that the inspector will
bear out his statements. He is an ex-
perienced candy maker and il quail
fled to make all kinds Of candies, both
plain and fancy. and you will make
NO mistake by buying your candies
there.

SWEDEN BUYS RUSSIAN
 WOOD TO MAKE MATCHES
Shipments of Aspen Wood Being Bought By the Swedish Match Company

Stockholm, Nov. 16.-The resump- ton on a large scale of the shipment of aspen wood from Russia to Swe- den, just reported on by Svensk Finanstidning Swedish Financial JournaD, has aroused great interest here. According to this authority S,000.00O board feet Of aspen wood have been imported from Russia dur ing the first nine months of this year. as against less than half of that quantity during last year.
 All of these shipments Of aspen wood have been bought by the SWed- ish Match Company. which consumes about 120,000,o0O board feet per year in its domestic and foreign factories, and if is an lroniCal fact that much of this wood comes from tho forest properties formerly owned in Russia by the Swedish Match company and Confiscated by the Boshevists.
 Although no trade pact has as yet been successfully negotiated between Sweden and Soviet Russia. each coun- try sends commercial commissioners to the other. and general foreign trade in both directions is picking up.

we cannot hope for better thcater. 1 If we cannot get q hearing from ac- tors and managers, then as a group we will be forced to avoid this be- cause we realize that the actor or author who becomes a manager, be- comes primarily manager.
 This solution l have to offer is simple. Yet I believe it will prevent haggling over control of the stage and will permit also the production of better plays.
 Let all differences of opinions among authors. actors and managers over ethics, business and other mat tcrs be submitted to q jury composed Of an equal number Of each group. This jury should be able to make and enforce its decisions through a sort of boycott system. If an actor, manager, or author refuses to abide by de cision hc will be boycotted by all the rest.
 This system will prevent strikes; if will do much more than that in bringing into the choice of plays for production the voice of men who are interested in beauty as well as money"

AUTHORS ID BETTER
 STAGE STANDARDS
PlayWrishts to Own One-Third Share in the American Thtater

New York. Nov. l6. - American playwrights have decided to make an effort to wrost from the managers and actors a third share in the Am erican thcater as a mcans of lifting the intellectual and artistic standards of native dramatic art, This is the assertion of owen Davis. one-t time president of the American pramatists and Composers, and now leading spirit in American Dramatists, guild Of the Authors League of America.
 We" Mir. Davis said today, who gre the backbone and the brains Of the American stage, go unnoticed which actors and managers struggle for control of the thcatcr. and while the stage is permitted to give the public only fraction Of the beauty and artistry 1t might give if directed by persons of wider horizon and greater intelligence" He pointed out that actors and managers now were arrayed against each other in a fight for control Of the stage and that, meantime, both dramatists and plays were given scant if any attention by either of the warning factions.
 Tn the old days of the American stage tho dramatic author was all- powerful. and he is even today in many European countres.' MT Davis declared, yet in this country no one pays any attention 10 him or to the great public of Americans he serves, Tive years ago a large number of &C., tors went on strike in New York. They did not consult Ills. The thea ters were closed. Our plays were sus- pended or left uuproduCed. When actors and managers settled the strike. again wo were not consulted.
 Next June the Actors Equity As soCiation intends to strike for an Equity shop; the managers will re- fuse the demand, I know. We, tho authors who constitute the one crea- tive and the all-important element in the situation of play prod uction, will be represented on neither board. We will lose no matter who wins.
 Therefore the American Drama lists have been driven to take an ag- gressive position, to demand one-third voice in the theater, to demand that excellence of the theator rather than control Of it be tho most important object for all Of Us, managers, actors and authors.
 Until WIG authors arc occasionally consulted in the business direction.

WAR MONUMENTS KEEP '
 MARBLE CUTTERS BUSY
War Memorials Act As stimulant to the Stone Cutters Who Are
 Kept Busy

Briculles, France, Nov. 16.-Thc track of war along the river Mouse, between Nerdun and this little city. where there stands a monument com memorating the capture of he place Oct. 9. 1918, by the Third American Corps, furnished evidence of the stimulation that the war has given 10 tho marble cutting trade.
 Thirty thousand monuments have already been erected by the French to their dead. and this department of the Mouse. where the French fought the battle of Verdun and where the Americans fought the battles of the ArGonnc and Mouse, has its share of them. An enumeration of the posi- tions around Verdun and along the Mouse where there occurred actions deserving commemoration would be tiresomc. The marble cutter has work ahead for his there for many years.
 It is in this region, also that the Americans find more occasions than anywhere else to commemorate the participation of their troops in the war. It was here that the American forces, as separate units did the greater part of their fighting. Some monuments have been put up by Am erican divisions and American corps.
 German monuments are more nu- mcrous than American. They were erected during hostilities. Where they mark the resting place of Ger man soldiers they are respected, but those that seem to have been erect cd to the glory of the German armies are being destroyed.
