 He believes, do the army engineers that the only and stronger evees He little faith in reservoirs for holding surplus waters although he admits that they would aid navigation. He recently said:

ALI SET FOR TIE DREAMLAND 0SHOW
 TONIGHT, SAYS MACK
LOCAL TALENT AND PROFESSION AIS TO VIE WITH OTHER
 THIS EVENING

With a large staff of carpenters, painters and electricians, all under the supervision of Sgt. Charles R. Evans finishing a strenuous two days effort, Dreamland hall is ready to cOmforta bly, accomodate an expected large at tendance of theatre goers tonight when the Mack Comedy Vaudeville Company, under the aupices of the United States Army Signal Corps, augmented by the pick of local talent, including harmony singing number by members of the Jesse Lee Home vocalists, a complete orchestra, that will play selections between acts, all presenting what gives promise of being as interesting an evenings en- tertainment as has ever been witness ed in Seward.
 The program will consist of some 14 numbers being the best of the ex-
  Mack Company and according to Man. ager Hart will include as variagated an assortment of vaudeville as could be desired. A local touch will be pre- sented in the appearance of the Miss es Roberta Mcintosh, Neville, Sheldon, and Rosness, who are important fact ors in tropical song and dance num- Der by Bobby Mack, while the Jesse Lee Home singers will render several favorite harmony songs. The pleas ing surprise will be the first appear ance with any show here, of a full stringed orchestra, adding a metro politan touch
 Bobby Mack, ever a favorite fun maker, promises some highly ludicrous Quibs and situations and claims his sketch offering tonight is one of the stages comedy masterpieces, it being George Ade's "A Horse on the Par son."
 Madeline Lamont has a specially selected program of popular and operatic songs and this will be the last opportunity of hearing her as she leaves for the Outside to rejoin the San Carlo Opera Company. Maxine Kline, the graceful, versatile dancer of the Mack aggregation, will have the opportunity of the Dreamland stage to present program of dances that were not Permitted on account of lack of stage space during her last engagement here, and, by request will present new vHrsion of the famous "Black-Bottom" dance
 The performance will be worth while, there is no question as to that and, inasmuch as the proceeds go to assist the Signal Corps workers to make their post exchange more com fortable and inviting, tonight's show deserves packed house.

Industry Leads World

A report written by Presiden.
John E. Edgerton, of the Nation
al Association of Manufacturers,
shows that industry mas eclipsed
the progress achieved by any of
the professions or non-industrial
pursuits. The report claims that
politics and education have not
kept pace with the success and
progress Of industries. This in re-
ply to an appeal of al bishops,
ministers and teachers asking in
dustrial leaders to improve labor
conditions. The report states:
IF the same degree of progress
in the reformation of our political
religious, moral and educational
lives had been made in our indus
trial life, America would have
very much less to worry about.

ELECTRICITY DOMINANT FACTOR IN

Suppose for moment that all
electric service in any city should
suddenly cease forever; that tel
ephones everywhere went out of
commission, that radio, so recently
found, was lost, that trolley lines
stopped, ignition on the autos
failed to function, that electric
ally-driven industry stood still,
police signals and fire alarms fail
ed to work and fire pumps failed
to pump water to the heights, and
when night came. darkness could
no longer be disslpated by press
ing a button or swapping a switch,
the streets remained in gloom
and citizens everywhere had to
carry candles.

show that such a catastrophe
would strike the city a blow all
most as overwhelming as that
which struck Pompeii. Older

Insurance is World Wide

Fire might be called the univer-
sal blessing-the greatest civiliz-
ing force the world has. Fire,
however, when it breaks it's bonds
causes suffering and disaster, in
every country, The Bushman in
the heart of Australian wilderness
watching his home destroyed, has
the same feeling of intense des-
pair that the American expert
ences on the other side of the
world.
The manufacturing plant wher-
ever it may be, suddenly halted
in the midst of some important
work, always becomes a tragic
picture as a fire dertroys its use
fitness.
Insurance, after all, is the only
practical solution that commerce
can offer to minimize the suffer
ing, and provide the means of
continued progress after the dis
aster has been repaired.
AS the theater crowds in New
York watched a partially COM
pleted 38-story sky-skraper be-
come flaming torch against the
evening sky on April 18th a re-
newed feeling of strength gained
by insurance protection must
have been felt.

CAPITAL LABOR and BRAINS,

The Jefferson County Union,
Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, says:
Here are two interesting para
graphs from the things that are
Caesars by Guy Morrison Wal
ker:
Social economist claim there
is only one source of wealth La
Dor. Political additional econo-
mists insist that in addition to
Labor Land and Capital must
be classified as additional sources
of wealth. But they both deny
the economic value of that which
is the greatest OF all in the pro-
duction of wealth -Bra'ns.'
"'Capital would generally be
idle and waste away if it were
not for the brains of some thinker
who finds a better way to use it
than it is being used. And Labor
would otter be idle if it were not
for this SAINT. thinker who devises
invents and creates undreamed-

DEMAND CMEAM AIR AS WELL AS
CLEAN STREETS And FOODS.

Plenty of sunshine means bet
ter milk and more nourishing
vegetables; fewer cases of NAL
nutrition, ricketts,, general debility
tuberculosis, colds and nervous
disorders.
It is estimated that a prolonged
Jog due to smoke cloud overhang-
ing a big city, will kill more people
in two or three days than will
succumb to motor accidents in
the same community in many
months. When we insist on bac-
teria-free food and water, why
not also insist on pure air, which
we consume at a rate five times
greater?
Nine coal fires out of ten pro-
duce enough sulphur dioxide to
injure plants. How foolish it is
to spend money to keep streets
clean, and never contribute a cent
toword keeping the atmosphere
clean!
The ultimate remedy for smoke
and SCOT laden atmosphere is to
burn gas instead of raw fuels.
Gas is absolutely clean, the sup
ply never fails, and the curve of
cost for many years in the future
will be definitely downward.
Those who burn gas serve not
onlythemselves and their neigh
bors, but they are helping to pro-
mote a clean civilization.

ACCIDENT COST NEEDLESS.

The Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company insists that it's employees
wear goggles at their work, to
prevent the eye accidents that
were coming to be a physical and
social drain on the company and
its workers. The company lays
off any miner found working
without goggles, three days for
the first offense; six days for the
second; and the third time he is
discharged. The company goes
yet further; it fights to have any
eye injury award reduced by so
per cent, where the employee neg
lected to wear goggles for protec-
ton.
This making the employee join
in the safety campaign, is the
short sure road to minimizing in
dustrial accidents. Some similar
form of progressive penalization
for motor accidents or hazards,
might do as much for the high
ways as for the coal and iron
mines. The four billion "a year
accident cost in the United States
is load that the public cannot
