HORSE SHOWS SENSE
IN ESCAPING FIRE
Climbs on Roof and Then f-fo
Hotel Window.

Chicago. - Oscar, gifted horse
housed in Garner Bros. Teaming COS
stable, had always borne the reputa-
ton of thinking and acting quickly
and when some careless employee
tossed cigarette stub into a bundle
of loose hay, Oscar had the oppoftu-
nifty to prove his intelligence. ana
did it.
Ordinarily horses are panicky in a
fire and will dash back into a burning
building.
But not SO with Oscar He had 10
fear Of fire II he could get away from
IT. He had .Isssse sense ana9p$etl4it.
The fire was sweeping toward him and
the smoke was sitting, but lie moved
over to a door opening on a SLED roof
and stepped out. The fire became
hotter and Oscar proceeded over tha
shed roof to large French window &C
a hotel adjoining the roof and clam!
bered through.
This explains why Fred Wicker,
asleep in the room, sprang wildly TO
the telephone and informed the clerk
of the hotel that there was horse in
his room.
Better change your bootlegger," I'D
vised the clerk. "Throw the horse
out"
But l can't lift a horse" protested
Wicker
"Then jump out of the window"
said the calloused clerk
Firemen found Wicker on the pave
ment with sprained ankle. Oscar,
the intelligent horse, had to be eased
out of the hotel with a block and
tackle.

During the Civil war, the northern
states were able to supply all the but
tons needed by the Union army. At
the outbreak of the war hutton man
ufacturers in Europe expected to re-
ccive orders from both the North and
the South, but were disappointed to
find as time went on that the North
could fill its own requirements. They
found some consolation, however, in
Icing called upon to supply all the
buttons needed by the southern
states, though in doing so, they were
forced to run the blockade. There
were numerous losses of cargoes as
a result and this made it necessary
to charge high prices for the buttons !

FOOTBALL TEAM
THANKS HELPERS

When school started Sept. 5
there was no money in the ire
asury of the athletic association
and there was no means in
sight for financing a football
team: In fact we had nothing
to begin with but a desire to
play. But thanks to the gen.
crosby Of the Fair Association
also to the lovers OF sports who
have showed so much interest
in our success this past season
in football. The fair association
gave. US a stand to use during
the fair which started us on our
way, and the sport lovers help
ed to put us on across. We had
no fenced ball park, but the peo-
pie were generous enough to
come out and pay to see us play
by doing so helped us to succeed
They did not only support us at
home, but each time we played
away, there they were to en-
courage us, to cheer us along,
which we certainly appreciated.
We also thank the town sport
lovers for the splendid Thanks
giving panjuet, which they
gave us at the Hotel Thanks
giving night, for / am sure we
enjoyed it immensely.
We cincerely hope that next
year they will show the same
cooperation spirit and help the
football team of 1923 to success
May we again take the OPP
portunity to extend to you our
thanks and appreciation for
your corporations and support,
during the football season that
has just passed.

Tulips, cheese and Ice were the
three important and stupendous
problems faced in the production
Of Marion Davies latest Cosno-
politan vehicle, THE Red Mill" a
colorful romance of Holland, staged
on a spectacular scale now at the
Palace Theater.
Tulips, whole fields of them, had
to be grown for the Holland
scenes in the new play. Bulbs,
imported from Holland, were
planted and raised to maturity in
the lighthouses at the Metro.Gold-
wyn-Mayer studios, then trans
planted on the settings represent
ing a quaint Dutch village and in
fields beside the dykes.
The cheeses were needed for
barges floating in a huge canal
thanking the Holland village. Piles
Of them had to be placed before
the town cheese factory; barge
loads had to pass to and fro. The
sacked, and almost every available
cheese in the city was purchased to
add veristmilitude to the odd scene.
The Ice proved the heaviest task
of all. The great canal had to be
frozen over for winter festival,

meath the water, and a refrigerat-
ing plant erected out OF the
camera lines, through which freez-
ing mixtures were generated and
pumped to the pipes, until the
water was frozen into a huge
block.
The new story Is colorful ro-
nance of the Land of Dykes,
adapted from the stage play of
the same name by Henry Blossom
and Victor Herbert.
Miss Davies plays a quaint
Dutch heroine in a strange story
Of blended comedy and mystery,

legendary series ''Puck of Pook's

this opinion on the Capital as a

a query as to how Washington
ranked with the Broadway pro-
ducers. Elucidating further, Mr..
Brady said that the Washington
first-night audience provided the
necessary intellectual and cul-

worthwhile production and that
the standard Of theatrical criti-
