TROUPE COMING.
WINNIPEG KIDDIES TO APP
PEAR HERE AT THE OPERA
HOUSE JAN. 2.

The Winnipeg Riddles, an or
ganization of Kiddie actors that
came into existence through their
work on behalf of the different war
work societies, during the early
part of the war, were practically
forced through popular demand to
carry on as a professional organiza-
ton. These young troupers, every
one of them an artist, have prac-
tically spent their lives in the work
that they are now doing, enjoying
every minute of it.
There are twelve children rang
ing in age from eight to twelve,
every one of them being an artist
in their particular line of endeavor.
There is little frankie Bird who is
quite well known as the Eddie
Leonard vest pocket edition, his
speciality being, all the known step
dances from the soft shoe dance as
originated by that famous minstrel
man, George Primrose, up to and
including the gymnastic gyrations
of the present day Frisco.
The entire company of little art
lists are under the care of trained
nurse, school teacher, and per-
sonal escort, and from a real hap
Ply family. They enjoy every min.
ute of their tour even to the time
that they put in in study. Then
ensemble numbers are perfect il
every way and as there is not any
more publicity given to one than tt
another, the company is nevel
threatened with temperamental dis
ruption as are other companies tina
have an equal number of stars.
i The Revue. that is presented b,
this Kiddie Company, is sometime
you are bound to marvel at-eacl
of the children are natural-borl
actors and do their respective part
with all the atistry and earnestnes

The wardrobe for these dainty
little actors was imported directly
from London, and is of the finest
materials that could be secured,
made by artists that have spent a
lifetime in designing costumes of
this kind. They also carry with
them a complete scenic investure
that was designed especially for
them by one of the foremost scenic
artists of America.
The press of the cities in which
they have appeared speak in glow

speak on the time "Why 1 love the
old Book" The evangelist gave as
his first reason: Because it is the
most interesting book in the world"
He said, eff you want story of love,
it is there. If you want a story or
political intrigue or war, you will find
it there. If you want story for the
children, tell them of the little red
headed shepherd boy VINO killed a
giant eleven feet tall and then married
a princess" The second reason was,
Because it is the album of humanity
Did you ever turn your back upon
YOUR friend when he needed you as
he never did before? So did Peter.
Did you ever sell your friend? So did
Judas. Did you ever curse and
swear? So did John Boanerges. Did
you turn to Christ and follow Him
loyalty? So did this same John, who
later became the apostle Jesus loved
best" The last reason was, ct is
the only book which prepares us for
the grave, and takes away the sting of
death when our loved ones are taken. y

Two Candidates Out
for Co. Commissioner

There have been two filings with
County Auditor Larson for county
commissioner in this, the third. COM
missioner district The first candidate
to file was John Welter the present
incumbent, who desires 10 succeed
himself on the county board.
Mr.. Welter will be opposed by Jens
Schou, also of Morgan township, and
secretary of the Morgan Cooperative
Creamery Co. Mr.. Schou threw his
hat into the ring by depositing the FL
ing fees with the county auditor.
The list of candidates is not COM
Dlete, however, according to rumors.
1t is said that former commissioner.
Edw. Steffl of Three Lakes, is giving
the matter consideration. Two we'll
known Brookville men are also receiv-
ing encouragement. They are VIM.
Schultz and JAS P. Kragh.
We have also heard the name of
K. M. Jensen, the live wire furniture
dealer of Morgan, mentioned in con-
nection with this office as man who
would fill the bill.
Undoubtedly not all of the men who
are being encouraged will get into
the race but an additional filing or
two is Morgan Messenger.

ut would be desirable to have
these alley spaces simply planted
with trees and small grass plots. The
parking areas could be either open
or covered with ornamental fireproof
shelters. Thus, these areas, which
no wexist as a menace to the health
and proper development of the Capt.
tai, can be transformed into attrac-
tive and useful portions of our city.
THE municipal authorities now
provide parks and Fairgrounds for
the people. Public market places are
also provided. So, the writer believes
that there is sufficient precedent
here, as we'll as in other cities, for
the District to provide free parking
space. On the other hand, 1t might
be well to follow the custom-used In
some communities in England-of
charging a small fee for the use of
public parking space. and thus pro-
vide for the proper maintenance and
