Splendid Cast of
Principals for Elks'
Musical Show "BimbO"

Scintillatng with wit. sparkling
with romance and novel situations,
having some of the prettiest song
hits of the day. "Eimbo." the Elks'
big musical show that will be pre-
scented at the Opera House on the
evenings of February 1919 will be
an event in the annals of amateur
theatricals.
The heroine of the piece is Sylvia
vanderveer. an heiress. played by
Miss Antoinctte Lacombe. Miss La
combe is admirably fitted to delini-
ate this character. being bright and
vivacious and possessing that elusive
quality known rs pep Augusta
theatregoers have seen her previously
in musical productions and she is a
favorite. The hero. Jack Damon. an
engineer. who Is on the Island of
Bimbo to build railroad. and who Is
engaged in the construction of air
castles as well. these having to do
with Sylvia, is portrayed by James
Campbell. who is comparative
newcomer to Augusta. Presenting a
fine stage presence and having a
splendid voice. there is no question
but that he will make n pronounced
hit and will carry over this part in
fine style.
Ruth Henderson appears as Aunt
Portia. botanist, who specializes in
bugs and Latin and who just adores
men. Miss Henderson is admirably
fitted for this part, being fine COM
edienne. and her characterization
will cause the audience to howl with
laughter. The efforts of Sylvia and
Jack TO secure n husband for Aunt
Portia and thereby make 1t possible
for them to wed, furnishes all sorts
of action.
"Bimbo" is not simply another
musical comedy" it is musical show
with pretty romance running
through IL. with tuneful numbers.
dainty dances, with pretty girls, real
comedians and specialties. Augusta
has never seen an amateur show
like "Bimbo' for nothing so preten-
tious has ever been attempted.

your tickets early to avoid disap-
pointment. for record breaking
crowds are anticipated. Advance
tickets may be secured from any Elk.

FARMERS SPEND WISELY
Agricultural Workef> and Industrial Workers ENpend Their Earnings in similar Way.

Washington. Jan. 4.--t,conomists Of the department of agriculture have completed study of the average an- nual expenditures of q farmers family in Livingston county, N. Y, and finds the amount to be S2,0l2. The purpose of the study which will be extended to various parts of the country. is to determine whether tanners get 'ade- quate returns in comfort, health and enjoyment from their expenditures as compared with the industrial family.
 Livingston county was selected as a general farming community of aver age prosperity. The most striking fea- ture of the study the department said, was the almost complete similarity found in items Of expenditures Of the two classes.
 About one third of the farm eX- penditures was figured on items not involving direct purchase--food pro- duced on the farm and unpaid labor. Of the total, the expenditure for food was 39.5 per cent; clothing lS per cent; education, recreation and church and social activities, l6 per cent.
 Automobiles were owned by 75.6 per cent of the families and the cost Of their operation and repair classed under expenditures for advance ment," was s65 q year.

IMMIGRATION POLICY.
 THREATENS AGRICULTURE
Restricting of Foreigners From |. $. Is Forcing Them to Seek Other
 Ha,ells and Agricultural Fields

Chicago, Jan. 4.-Restricted immi- grafton is causing the development of new agricultural regions, which in a few years will compete sharply with American agriculture, in the opinion of James R. Howard, president of the National Transportation Institute.
 Expressing this opinion at the re- cent convention Of the American Farm Bureau Federation, Mir. How ard said:
 Development of new agricultural regions to feed thu world is resulting from our policy Of restricted immigra- ton. There is little likelihoods that this policy will be changed. So fai as the farmer is concerned the policy shall be adhered 10. But this closing of our doors means that the congested populations of Europe must seek other asylums. Already promotional settlement programs are under way in various South American nations as well as in Canada, Australia and Africa. These people crowded out of Europe and into new lands must en- ter agriculture because agriculture always preeedes industry in the build ing Of any new country. There is no doubt that new fieals of compe- tition for the American farmer are developing.
 "fhesc settlements mean the estab- lishment Of industrial trade routes and these routes, unless the ships are under our flag, cannot be expected to be other than favorable to the new settlements and will have a most vital influence upon the. American agricul- ture Of the next decade.
 "If America is to stay in the world market and produce a surplus of agri- cultural products. ships are as much a part Of the farm equipment as blows or wagons Too few farmers realize this. The government still owns something like thousand good steel ships. operated at a heavy deficit or which the farmers are paying their share. We cannot afford to allow these ships to go out from under our flag while VIC arc facing a fight to keep both trade routes and markets

selves. Those of small incomes and small business must rely upon their representatives.
 In speaking on the bonus, Senator Johnson said that with few exceptions the bonus had been promised by the leaders of the republican party and cited various times when the promise had been made.
 The matter comes first as one of good faith and one of keeping a definite pledge" said the senator. We adopted the principle of adjusted compensation for the railroads and for the mining interests. Business would now deny the same principle to the man who barred his body to shot and shell across the sea. And remem- Der this adjusted compensation bill can be passed and the sums due un- der it paid by the government and taxes reduced, too
