A Square Deal
For Actors

For Actors
An effort is being made b
the professional actor to cleans
the name of his profession. 1t
their contention that too ofte
persons under arrest are desie
mated as actors or actresses
by the press, when in realit,
they are not members of tina
profession.
In letter to the editor of tn,
Times-Recorder, E. F. AIbee, o
the Keith Circuit of Theaters
says: @gk
Dear Mr.. Eve: Speaking for
the National Vaudeville Artists
association, may I ask you to con-
slider a request which seems to me
fair and reasonable, but which I
beg to assure you is offered in
no spirit of criticism.
Very frequently items appear
in the newspapers in which wom-
en- under arrest for petty crimes
are called Actresses" Nine
times out of ten this term is used
through some custom which is
certainly not justified in fact nor
in the spirit of fairness and truth.
In the ordinary cause of our
activities these cases are investi-
gated by the National Vaudeville
association. There were two in
stances last week in which women
under arrest were spoken Of as
actresses, whereas they were
merely unfortunates of the street
not connected in any way with
the stage. Only recently one
of the metropolitan newspapers
attributed the criminal tendencies
of two little runaway girls to the
fact that they had been taught to
do shoplifting by "two actresses
whom they had met in New
York" 1t is hardly worthwhile
saying anything to emphasize the
injustice this did to the reputa-
BILE members of a Woodworking
profession, especially since it was
quite untrue.
May 1 ask you to establish
rule in your office which will
provide that no woman who is
arrested or otherwise comes in
for mention in derogatory way
shall be called an "actress" I'M
less the fact that she is really an
actress is we'll established. 1t
seems to me, if I may offer this
suggestion, that safe and proper
ruling would be to say that
woman is an actress only if she
is acting on the stage in some
theatre, or is we'll known in the
profession.
AS a profession, we believe
the actor no worse than others
We know that, as Mr.. Albet
points out, many times crimes
and misdemeanors are laid OF
their shoulders undeservedly
and we are sure the newspaper
will endeavor to comply witt
MIR. Albees request.
OF course, the reporter, max
ing the Jail or prison beats, mus
as a rule, take the prisoner
word as to the prisoner s profes
sion, but most reporters anC
most newspapers will use NOR
care in the use of the term
actor and actress. Their
always has been a close bond be
tween the two professions.
Blanch Ring, in one of the cur
rent magazines, tells of her dis
appointment in not being abb
to find among her profession
that Bohemian life" of whic
she had heard so much. Sh
completely explodes the public
belief in wild midnight partie,
stage door yohnnies and unprir
cipled managers.
Taken as whole, the actor
a very human sort of a pF
intensely loyal to his.

and moral; as a coy

Marks Historic Spot

The Verendrye National monument,
established in 1917, marks the spot on
the left bank of the Upper Missouri
river where the celebrated French ex-
plOrer Verendrye and his sons es-
capped during their explorations in
1888, more than sixty years prior to
the expedition of Lewis and Clark.
1t is associated with the first explo-
ratiOns Of North Dakota and the inte-
rior of the Northwest, says the New
York Times The records of their
journeys are the subject of conflicting
interpretations but there is no ques-
ton that the Verendrye party was the
first to enter North Dakota and to-
look upon the Upper Missouri Thus
it is. that picturesque Crowhigh butte.

RECLAIM 3. O0o,oCo
ACRES IN MISSOURI
Lands, Once Worthless, Now
of Much Value.

Cape Girardeau, MO.-What engi-
neers describe us the worlds greatest
drainage reclamation project is now
nearing completion at an ultimate tota!
cost of more than $5O,OO0,OOO Nearly
100000 acres Of swamp lands in th;
st. Francis river basin of southeastern
Missouri and northeastern Arkansas
will have been made tillable.
Excavations will total upwards of
oOO,OOO,OOO cubic yards, according to
engineering estimates, or more than in
the construction of the Panama canal.
Lands which were virtually worth
less now are valued at from $40 to 500
an acre. Corn, wheat, cotton and
numerous other crops are successfully
raised on the soils built up by de-
posits brought down by the Mississippi
and other large rivers.
With the removal Of stagnant water
the mosquito has disappeared, and
with 1t malaria. HOmeseekers have
poured in by the thousands.
The Little river drainage district,
the largest ever organized. has author
lied new $5,OOO,OOO bond Issue to
provide additional drainage and flood
protection for it's 100000 acres
The plan originally adopted and car
ried out provided for the diversion Of
the water of the hill streams by dig
ging a channel on the northern border
Of the district to the Mississippi river.
This was paralleled by 40 miles Of
levee. More than 700 miles Of bitches
then were constructed to carry off the
surface waters. These bitches, which
are 100 feet wide and Is feet deep,
empty into Big lake, Arkansas.
The cost of drainage has been met
by bond issues, retired in 20 years by
taxes levied on the lands according
to benefit. The average cost has been
around $40 an acre.

Christmas time at
the store. People will want small
packages in a hurry-string or ribbon
or tissue paper, and every time you
run an errand.I'll pay you just as I'd
pay anyone"
I'D like to be, paid in pennies" said
Mahalia.
pennies will be paid to you" said
her daddy.
81 will give you a penny day If
you eat a piece of bread at each meal
without fuss" said her mother, land
If you eat two pieces of bread l will
give you two cents" Mahalia did not
like bread.
Her uncle told her he had an old
desk which he hadn't time to clean
out. and he had always told her aunt
that he would be doing it himself some
time so she shouldn't bother about it
But now, he said. if Mahalia would
take all the papers and put them to-
gether, and all the elastic bands in
another pile and all the pencils with
out points in another and the ones
with points in still another, and put
everything nicely sorted and arranged
on a table nearby and then dust the
desk in every corner thoroughly. he
would give her lots Of pennies.
II will go over the papers then and
throw away what | don't want, and
really have that desk in order. 1t would
be useful to me If it were in order.
AS it is don't want to put anything in
it for fear it should get mixed up with
all the trash there now.
"Of course you must be very, very
particular in job of this Sort
And Mahalia promised she would be.
Her uncle told her that she could do
1t between supper time and bedtime,
and then it would not interfere with
the work she was going to do for her
daddy.
Her aunt told her that when she
got through with the work for her
uncle she could spend several evenings
fixing up work baskets about the
house.
"The threads and pieces of silk are
all mixed up. They're all In q tangled
mass. shall be delighted to see them
In order"
Her grandmother told her that If she
would come over and brush off the
front steps each morning before she
went up to the store she would get
pennies for that.
"Of course the snow would be too
heavy for you, but 1t would be great
help at this time to have the steps
done. for we're so busy with cooking
that I'VE haven't time"
Well, as you can see, Mahalia had
busy time of it. But they all saw
that she didn't overdo. She loved the
work. OF course she wouldn't have
cared to have been busy like that all
the year.
But in the holidays before Christmas
when everyone was so busy, anyway,
it was fun to be busy
And oh. how lovely it was when
she had her own pennies to spend.

THE END OF THE TRAIL

/ attended a funeral once way out
on the last frontier in Idaho. He had
worked hard for the up-building Of
the community and they laid him
away in good style. They cut
through a ledge of beautiful blue
granite TO make his grave and yet
a little tombstone they put above
him was from Vermont. They bur-
fed him in the heart Of a pine forest
but the pine coffin was imported
from Michigan. They buried him
within a few miles Of a great iron
ore deposit and yet the nails in the
coffin and the iron In the shovel they
dug his grave with were imported
from Pittsburg. They buried him
by the side of the best sheep grazing
country in the world and yet the
wool in the coffin bands was import
ed from the East. Idaho did not
furnish thing for that funeral but
the corpse and the hole in the
ground.
They buried him in a New York
coat and a Boston pair of shoes and
a pair of breeches from Chicago and
a shirt from st. Louis, leaving him
nothing to carry into the next world
t oremind him of the country in
which he lived and had fought for,
but his earthly remains
His sorrowing family crawled into I
a Detroit automobile, on Akron rub
Der, with California gasoline as the
motive power, driven by a negro
from Louisiana.
And yet this was Idaho and his
family have to make a living here.
