IKE ROSE ROYAL MIDGETS COMING
Twenty-Five Of Them To Fea- ture Next Weeks Bill. At
 Loew's Bijou Theatre

l. Rose. the man who brought the famous Bohemian twins to the United States, returned from Europe recently with l25 of the most wonderful midgets ever seen on the continent, and these royal midgets have accepted a con. tract to appear in this city all of next week. beginning Monday afternoon February I, at Loew's Bijou,
 There has been tremendous de. mand for the Lilliputian performers, and practically every vaudeville man. ager and theatrical producer has of fered huge sums for their services.
 Everything indicates that tremen- dous crowds will witness the perform ances of these 25 midgets at Loew's Bijou all of next week. There are three distinct troupes in Roses Royal Midgets. and critics declare that the Bella Musical Troupe never fails to please the spectators. Although small in stature, these midgets are wonder full performers. sE
 Roses Royal Midgets represent va rious nationalities, and from among their members are gleaned many anus ing stories of midget life. The na- tionalities represented are Swiss, Hun garian. Javanese, French, German and Belgian. Their talents. range from singing to acrobatics.
 Before being assembled for the American tour they formed five or six individual acts, playing the variety thea tres in the neighborhood of their birth. The normal parents of the mu- sical troupe will tell you as you gaze on their toddling offspring that they range in ages from 20 to g years and that they have taken music les sons for years.
 The youngest of the troupe will toot his cornet, almost as large as himself, just to verify the parents statement. Then there is the brother for the bass horn. who stands hidden behind the in nun,ant u-ha., .,Io i.,.x

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Lyric

Vaudeville at the Lyric the first half of this week appears considerably more | in favor than did either of the two an niversary week bills. It is better bill than were either of the two special of ferings.
 1 Howard Smith, as Dr. Graves, in Good Medicine" is the individual star of the bill. Good Medicine" is the best of the five acts. It is all that it's name implies to a person in recep- l tive mood, provided one is capable of digesting some hearty laughs.
 Hal Berg and Jack English, two dark horses of the screen, are intro duced by means of special film as playing double" for we'll known mo- vie characters. They open the bill with a series of acrobatic offerings. Prob ably they intend to show just what must be a movie comedian's qualifica- tions. These fellows are said to play parts which require a great deal of personal danger, relieving the big stars of that element of motion picture pro- duction.
 Clever dance steps and songs feature Broke" with Jess Block and Frances Dunlap. The act is easily on a par with the average and that's not mean ing it's at all bad
 John King and Dave Irwin inject a liberal sprinkling of originality into their blackface act, which is responsi- ble for it going over we'll. Both tmen are good comedy character actorstand neither are offensive.
 Billie Williams Momtaineers in "A Cycle of Music could or could not be rated as the headliner, depending en- tirely upon personal choice. If excep- tionally good music should be that choice, then the act should take first place. In either event, it's a mighty good act.-R. W. K.

COMING TO JEFFERSON

Tt is rather strange" says Neil OBrien, the famous minstrel come dian who will be. seen at Jefferson three days beginning Thursday, the difference that putting burnt cork on q mans face makes in his personal ap- pearance. Sometimes it is an improve ment and sometimes not. Of course there are different ways of making up !; often it is done just to get comedy ef- feet. In the latter case of course this is gained usually by accentuating the size of the mouth and the eyes. Very often, however, it improves the appear- ance and there have been many min. strel men who have been matinee idols and gained the approbation of the feminine part of the audience who would never be looked at off the stage. Among the oldtimers who might be called really handsome when they were 'blacked up were Billy Emerson, who was mighty good to look at when he was singing Happy as Big Sun Flower while another was Carroll Johnson, who was one of the most pie turesque figures on the stage when he was made up for the first part.
 William H. West, who was nigh ty good looking man off the stage, was simply wonder when he corked his fact no handsome man need be afraid pearance of his partner, George Prim- rose, when he blacked up for his soft shoe dance speciality. As matter of fact no handsome man ned be afraid that blackening his face will in any way interfere with his good looks. With me, of course, it makes no particular difference because l never posed as d good-looker; comednians should not be you know

Mrs. Wilson came to Ensley last fall with her husband and endeared her self to host of residents of this com munity, all of whom regret that cir cumstances will necessitate such an early separation.
 Golf Club Cafe
 Ensley. and Fairfield members of the Woodward Golf club were much pleased with the announcement received here Monday that Mrs. w. H. Hulsey had been given charge of the cafe at the club and would operate that depart ment. Mrs. Hulsey will provide cafe SCiNitc upVh IcuuSst dt any tiHlc tO tHc members and their guests and on holi- days, Sundays and Saturdays there would be maintained service for golfers.

HARTE SAYS NO
ONE WANTS CULLS

While H. w. Harte of Brook
Park, was in Askov yesterday
afternoon he went to the local
school and spoke for about 10
minutes before the high school
and eighth grade pupils. Mr..
Harte has had much to do with
young folks in Sunday school
work and other endeavors and
seems to be a man who takes
well with boys and girls.
His young Askov audience
seemed to be no exception to the
rule as the children listened at
tentlvely and showed their ap-
probation of his remarks. Among
other things he said in part.
there are No. /, 2, 3, and 4 of

I'VE admit, however, that we
do not know just where he stands
on ski jumping, and we are glad
that you called the matter to our
attention. We are proud, how
ever, to say that we do not be-
long TO that coterie of nuts who
would vote for a man for the i'm
portant office of governor be-
cause Andus Haugen told us he
was a good ski Jumper. We
would thank you to send us Mr..
Leach's record yump, and we
also want to know if that yump
was made on Northland Ski
Manufacturing Co.'S skis, and in
the meantime the first time we
see Curtis Johnson we will try to
find out what his best yump is
and whether or not he favors the
sport.
I'VE happen to know, however,
that Mr.. Johnson has sold a
great many pairs of Northland
skis in his many years of ex-
perience in the hardware bust
ness.
I'VE do not know whether or
not he has placed his order for
fall, but we will send him your
letter and it may help the North
land Ski Manufacturing company
to get the order. In sending us
Mr.. Leach's record yump on skis,
you might also let us know who
we ought to vote for for United
States senator, for lieutenant
governor, secretary of state and
the rest of the offices, and in
time we hope with careful
coaching on the part of Mr.
Haugen) to be able to exercise
the franchise without assistance
from either Mr.. Haugen or the

company"

short original sketch. II was a
little laugh provoker but was
made all the more funny on ac-
count of him losing his "gotee'.
Like all home talent plays
there was of course opportunity
for criticism. One suggestion
that might be beneficial would be
to get the performers up nearer
the front of the stage. The act
ing was too much toward the
back of the stage. The play was
directed by Glenn A. Ferguson.

children tend to commercialize
their ideals. II is not the func-
ton of the schools to make bust
ness successes of the children,
but to make them men and
women of high characture and
culture"
Prof. F. ID. Slutz Of Dayton, o.,
listed the most striking signs OF
the present times as follows:
% Recognition that there is
no authority except truth, (2)
humiliation of distances, (3) do
mination of men by machinery,
az crowd rule, 90 excessive
strain, and (6) spiritual hunger.
He would meet these condi-
tions by:
% Teaching boys and girls
how to distinguish between the
DRY and truth, (2) acquainting
them thoroughly with the other
nations of the world, (3) giving
them plenty of music and art to
make amends for the dominance
of the machine, (4) encouraging
individuality and initiative
rather than conformity, 90 re-
deeming physical education from
the curse Of specialized athletics,
and (6) teaching the great spirit

PROMOTING MHITARIsM

In another column will be
found a news item about the
probability of Pine City acquir.
ing an Artillery Battery. Per-
haps our county seat town can
not be blamed for accepting this
plum from the Government--on
the assumption that il they do
not accept it some other town
will get il.
We are constantly crying for
peace--down with militarism--
and lower taxes, so why keep on
promoting things that will give
us both?
The government pays the bill,
but who is the government?
None other than ourselves-the
taxpayers.
Vacation with pay" sounds
good. But who are the ones best
able to pay expenses Of a vaca-
tion if il is not the young men?
II is undoubtedly necessary TO
have enough soldiers for home
protection to quell disorders
that may arise within our own
borders but if Pine City is to
have an Artillery Battery other
towns of the same size will want

and we will have men by the
hundreds of thousands in mill

burden.
