Mirage, a play in one act, is
neither a comedy nor tragedy,
but as in life the two, intermingled.
1t is a serious attempt to put on
the stage, piece of life.
The plot centers about young
college graduate, an ethnologist, by
the name of Stone, who on an ex-
petition wandered away from the
others to look for a poisoned pool
Of which the Indians had told him.
Lost on the desert of the Hopi
Indian country of Arizona, he loses
his memory through sunstroke and
exposure.
In this condition, Stone is found
by Polaina, the niece of Chief
Lolamai. She is a descendant of an
ancient Amarind tribe, an heir to a
civilization different from, but in no
essential sense inferior to that of
the paler peoples who have invaded
it's demesne. She is strong girl
with an intense desire for happiness,
an ardent love of life, and the
courage to attempt their satisfac-
ton, whatever the cost. In spite
of constant warning from two older
Hopi women, she falls in love with
Stone.
Stone was married just before
going on his expedition. His wife,
Christine, with DIR. James Hormek,
have searched a year for; him be-
fore arriving at the Hopi pueblo.
Here they face a situation which
forces them to ask, "what is real
and what is unreal in life, what is
mirage in life"

Dramatic Art Club compose the

New Real Peace
Conference Wanted
(By Federated Press)

Philadelphia, Pa.-The American
Friends Service committee has ap-
pealed to President Harding to call "a
new and real peace conference. lts
letter follows in part:
"Sad as was the condition OF the
people of Europe when we started our
relief work, it is appalling to realize
that their condition in many instances
is worse today. We feel that in great
sections of Europe, hope has been
lost and despair has seized great
parts of the population like a disease.

Low Living Standards
Drive Americans Out

New York-Writing in local
newspaper, Henry A. Wise Wood, in
ventor of printing machinery, chal-
lenges the plea of the national associ-
alton of manufacturers for more i'm
migrants to do the rougher tasks that
Americans now refuse. Mr.. Wood
says:
"The American has shown aversion
to the 'rougher tasks only where
these were performed by the foreigner
with whom he does not care to asso-
cate, and upon whose lower pay he
can not subsist. One need only go
upon the farms and cattle ranges OF
the country and into the smaller vii
lagos where foreign labor has not yet
penetrated, to find robust natives con-
tentedly performing the rougher tasks
of agriculture and industry.
"The truth of the matter is that into
whatever walk of industrial life the
foreigner has come his lesser living
needs have driven out the American
"The committees report broadly
charges the shortage of labor to the
absence of immigration. 1t does not
reveal the fact that the most keenly
felt shortage of labor is in those
highly skilled trades that are always
beyond the immigrant; nor the other
fact that the so-called shortage OF
rough labor is local and not general;
that it is a matter of maldistribution
and of pay.
"The committees report, of course,
does not reveal what is to be done IN
bad times with the alien labor it wants
let in now.
"Were the manufacturers them
selves, instead Of the whole commu-
nifty, to be charged with the SLACK,
time support of this mucn wanted
alien labor, it is to be suspected that
they would be able to worry along
without it."

Unions Are Aiding
LOCked-Out Bakers

Chicago-Organized bakery work
ers are making effective resistance to
the Ward baking company's efforts to
establish anti-union conditions in
their several plants throughout the
United States.
This concern is the largest bread
trust in the country. 1t has aimed a
blow at the heart of unionism by re-
fusing to deal collectively with its
bakery workers. No anti-unionism
could be more pronounced, for with
individual bargaining every element
of trade uninism disappears.
= The bread trust would establish
Garyism in the food industry. That
the bakery workers are aware of this
is shown by their response to Wards
anti-union declaration.
The trade union movement is rally
ing to the bakers cause and indepen-
dent bakers are profiting by the Ward
lockout and are securing the business
of the trust.
The bakery workers are alive to the
value Of publicity and are spreading
their story to every member and
friend of organized labor.
The bakery workers are stripping
the question down to fundamentals
by showing that the bread trust
wants anti-unon conditions through
it's demand that it be permitted to
bargain with individual workers.

THE 25 LARGEST BANKS IN
AMERICA

The twenty-five largest banks in
the United States whose total deposits
in 1914 aggregated $2,620,000,000 to-
day show deposits of over $685.
100000.
Thus, in the nine years of vlcis-
STUDIES between these two dates, dur
ing which the world passed through
the most violent cataclysm of history,
and during which America passed
through the greatest boom and reac-
ton of it's existence, with tremendous
banking imitation, defation, and sound
recovery, the net outcome is that the
total deposits of these twenty-five
representative big banks are now
more than two and a half times what
they were at the outset.
Taking banking as whole, there
were in 1914, some 26,8OO banks in
the United States with aggregate
deposits of about $19,0O0,O00,OOO.
To-day there are more than 81 ,OOO
banks in the country, with total de-
posits of about $4,000, 100000.
The average deposits for the
twenty-five 1923 banks is $27O,O0O,-
600, as compared with $100,000,000
in 1914.
The major factor in the expansion,
however, is the growth of the nations
business and the commensurate en-
largement of banking facilities. Tne
total wealth of the country in 1914
was estimated at $187 ZOO, 100000;
present wealth has been put at $780,
0OO,OOO,OOO, and business to-day is
done on larger scale and at more
rapid rate, demanding greater re-
course to banking facilities.-John

Back in the Harness

George j. Hagmeier has leased the
room formerly occupied by the Piggly
Wiggly store on West Main street
and will formally open cash grocery
tomorrow. Mr.. Hagmeier, who was
practically born in the grocery bust
ness, will carry full and complete
line of groceries, meats, bread and
baking products, which he will sell
at prices which will make the public
sit up and take notice. This he is en-
abled to do because he buys all stock
directly from the manufacturer and
broker and is thus enabled to save his
customers a goodly sum on their net
purchases.

The WALTON Dance Pavilion

The WALTON ''over the water
dance pavilion at Buckeye Lake since

and with it's exceptionally fine floor
and splendid union orchestra, "The
Musical Imps," of Wheeling, one of
the best in West Virginia, which is
under contract for the season, is draw
ing immense crowds. Billy Hoover,
who is again in charge for the coming
season, is immensely proud of his or
chestra, which in their tasty uniforms
present a fine appearance, and his
predictions of a record breaking at
tendance during the summer is fully
justified by the crowds which daily
pack the floor.

BOTH ENDS AND THE MIDDLE

Government experts tell us that
the country has many more coal
mines than the country's fuel demand
justifes, and surplus of miners and
equipment. We do not doubt that
this is true, if all were kept busy.
Yet, in spite of this plenty, we have
coal famines in winter, when folks
need coal. And profiteering holds
high revel.
When miners want wages, there are
too many mines and miners.
When folks want coal, there is a
fuel famine.
Both ends pay the coal spectators
the miners in starvation annual
wages, the consumer in extortion
prices for fuel.
