Much Southern
Charm in Junior
Class Play

A comedy drama full of the charm
of an old Southern plantation set
ting, with fair amount of compli-
cation, and a deeply dyed-in-the-
wool oldfashioned villain, was "Old
Days in Dixie" presented last night
at the city auditorium by the Junior
class Of the Bismarck High School,
under the careful direction of Miss
Winifred Robertson and Miss Barg-
hid Dahl.
The play was pleasant enough, if
not strlkipgly original in theme, CEN
tering around the orphan, Azalea,
ward of the blind mistress of the
plantation, Madame Bonfoey. and the
Vaccinations of the lady-klller,
cabling villain, Raoul Chaudet ROSS
Cullen) of Quebec, to get Azalea to
elope. Of course, he fails through
the timely Intervention of the hero,
Beverly. Bonfoey, the young heir, but
damage has been done. Azalea has
killed the hopes of the heroic Bever-
W. for her love, whereupon he goes
off to the wilds of California and is
supposed to die. But, naturally, that
really didn't happen at all; and he
arrives just in time three years lat
CT, when his blind mother is pining
away, and Azalea Is still heart brok-
en- and mourning, to make everybody
happy
By far the best Characterization in
the play was that Of Jean Macleod,
as the blind Madame Bonfoey. Bring
ing considerable conviction and SER
iousness to the role, she achieved a
reality of the blind, courtlv old gen.
tlewoman, that never left her au-

also handled with considerable skill
by Clarice Belk, her costumes being
quite delightful, as were, in fact,
most Of the others.
John Moses made nice, manly
duel-challenging hero. and Azalea, a
sweet appealing orphan, but their
roles were bit too commonplace to
call for anything extraordinary.
Other members >of the cast were:

LIBERTY BONDS AT
NEW HIGH LEVELS
NEW TREASURY CERTIFICATE
ISSUE is OVERSUBSCRIBED.
EASY MONEY INDICATED.

NEW YORK, N. View high
prices continue to be paid for United
States government loans. Both treas
ury issues, the As and 454's, made
new tops not only for this year but
since they were first put out. Practi-
cally all of the liberty loans have sold
at record figures for 1925, and in one
instance at the highest for all time.
Most of the older loans, however, are
still below the high points of midsum-
mer a year ago when call money on
the stock exchange was loaning at 2
per cent.
Illustrative OF the demand for gov
eminent securities is the oversubscrip-
ton for the new 3 per cent issue of
treasury certificates comprising the
governments June IS financing The
amounts applied for were between
three and four times the total which
the secretary of the treasury asked.
The significant feature, officials de-
clare, is in the greater proportionate
strength of the longer maturities, indi-
eating banking belief that easy money
is no temporary affair.

WAREH0USEMAN is
CONVICTED AT ALBANY
BURTS SENTENCED FOR VIO-
LATINO FEDERAL LAW. IS
SUED BOGUS RECEIPTS.

A M. Burts, cotton warehousemar
at Albany, has been convicted in the
United States district court of the
fraudulent issuance of cotton ware
house receipts.
The conviction was the first under
the United States warehouse act. Its
purpose is to provide warehouse re-
ceipt of such character as to make it
acceptable to bankers as security for
loans made to farmers and others
handling agricultural products.
The court fined Burts 500 after
the prosecutor, pointing out that no
losses had been sustained through the
defendants acts, recommended light
sentence.
Hundreds OF millions of dollars are
loaned annually by bankers on federal
ly licensed warehouse receipts, and
many cooperative marketing organi-
cations depend entirely on these re-
ceipts to carry on their operations
Judge Barrett in passing sentence
said: 1T is very, very important that
these receipts be in every way pro-
tected."

STATES TURNED
DOWN WAR PRIZES
SLOW TO CLAIM THE GERMAN
TROPHIES FROM UNCLE SAM.
DRUG ON MARKET.

Uncle Sam has discovered that tro-
plies of the world war are drug on
the market just now. The federal gov
eminent has notified the 48 states that
they may now apply for their allot-
ments of war trophies from the sup
ply on hand in Washington.
But it looks as if the states wish to
forget all about the war" one high
government official laments.
Only Seven Accept Offer.
Only seven states have accepted
their shares of the trophies. The Wis
consin legislature has definitely re-
jected the offer.
There are several reasons. One Is
that decorating public squares with
war tools no longer is in style. An
other is that, since the states must pay
freight charges for shipment OF the
trophies, governors have turned the
matter over to the legislatures, but
they have been too busy with other
matters.
Every kind OF German war DEVICE
conceivable-fro Cannons- to paper
BLANKETS in storage in Washington
waiting for a taker. 1t was assumed
that almost every city and hamlet in
the country would battle for the priv
ilege of getting the choice OF these
victory memorials.
But now the federal government
finds that it cannot get rid OF them.

JAIL INMATES DRAW RUM IN
RUBBER HOT WATER BOTTLE

ATLANTA, Cats a bad
case of rheumatism that brings no
good TO anybody.
That's one adage. Another is:
Stone walls will never make a
prison so long as there is a con-
venient bootlegger and means
of supply.
These lessons were drawn from
observation by custodians OF the
Fulton county jail when, investi-
eating the occasion of mysterious
bacchanalian revels held every
night in a tier of cells i'll the sixth
floor the last six weeks or so, they
found the prisoners there have
been lowering a rubber bottle, de-
signed for hot water, into a va
cant lot behind the Jail, there ITO
receive each night a ration of corn

The hot water bottle, the inves-
tigation disclosed, had been given
a rheumatism sufferer six weeks
ago as a means of easing his pain,
and then had been forgotten.
A census of hot water bottles
was started at once-also of neigh
borhood bootleggers.
