Victor Gustafson and Miss Ida Abra-
hanson. Mrs. A. Stenlund was the
chef. The Russian Princess, Miss
Amelia Stenlund, sent over by the
government for the occaion, furnish
ed the music. Other dignitaries of
the Russian government were also
present and after being awarded the

everyone danced and enjoyed the

these dogs-not kooties.

1.-THE HOUR GLASS"

Ceaselesly the scroll of time un-
rolls, bringing to every mortal the
changes to which are attached what
ever of interest life may hold, The
hour glass, which symbolizes the
passing of time, supplies the title for
photoplay as told in motion pic
lures, which will help to bring every
man who is, or hopes to become head
of a family a fuller realization of
his responsibilities. First presenta-
ton of 1.-The Hour Glass" in Ely will
be given at the K. R. Hall, Novem-
Der 28th, at 8 o'clock P. M. 1t will
be shown under the auspices of Ely
Camp, Modern Woodmen of Ameri-
ca, by special arrangement with the
national headquarters at Rock Is
land, Ill. This is brand new three
reel film with unusual spectacular
features and true-to-life action. Part
of the story was filmed at the Soci-
ety's free Sanatorium near Colorado
Springs where the bright sun and
vivid color contrasts make the cam
era so effective. Here, in large
part, was enacted an interesting
little drama which might have ended
in tragedy, but didn't. Modern
Woodmen who know the signs of
the forest may guess why. Others
will be afforded the oppurtinity to
find out for themselves when they
witness the showing of this inter-
esting photoplay.
Admission will be free and the

RED CROSS DRIVE
GOING OVER FINE

Chairman Kenneth Duncan of the
Red Cross membership drive Tor this
CITY reports that workers are meet
ing with success and that the drive
bids fair to 60 over the top to con-
siderable extent. Those approached
by the solicitors are fully aware of
the benefits of the Red Cross and are
securing memberships and buttons
without much explanation.
When it is considered that the
Red Cross last year rendered assist
ance to nearly a million people in
this country, victims of II disasters,
it at once becomes apparent that
the organization is doing noble work
and work which no other organiza-
ton can accomplish On an aver
age of every five days this country
suffered a disaster of sufficient mag
nitude to bring the Red Cross into
action. The amount of money the
organization spent in meeting these
emergencies is greater than the bud
gets of twenty-six states, while only
six cities in the country have popu-
1e.t.on larger than the number of
o3ter sufferers assisted.
American Red Cross is headed
Preident Coolidge and it has set
100000 as its membership goal fol
MS year. 1t should also be remem-
;ered that half of the amount col
9cted for memberships in this city
mains in the treasury of the local
epter for emergency use.
Chairman Duncan is being assist
ID by the following committee in en-
rolling memberships: Mrs. Arthur

Peter Schaefer, Mrs. H. A. Berg

VALET'S DEATHS
ASCRIBED TO GRIEF

PARIS, April 2 R)-The death in
Bucharest of Fraudenau, valet for
Is years to Carol, ex-crown prince
of Rumania, is ascribed here to
the grief and disappointment of a
faithful retainer over the fhisfortunes
Of his master.
Fraudenau died suddenly, in the
royal palace, after serving dinner
one night to the king of Rumania.
He was found in chair facing a
portrait of Prince Carol
Fraudenau was the first valet
Prince Carol had. He served him
until the prince renounced the throne
of Rumania for Madame Lupescu
From the day of Prince Carols de-
parture the old retainer was changed.
1t is said here that until his death
he did not speak, even to members
of the royal family, Of his feelings
where Prince Carol was concerned.
He hoped for the young mans re-
turn until the end but became less
optimistic day by day.

France Good Market
For Fake Paintings

PARIS, April R-France, with
all her artistic culture, is good
market for fake masterpieces.
A collection of 6S paintings re-
Gently was bought by wealthy
Frenchman for 100000 francs because
many of the canvases were signed
s.Delacroix," "Millet," "Corot," Monet"
s"Courbet'' and other names with
places in the Louvre.
Friends soon disillusioned the rich
buyer and Charles Helm, the seller
of the "heirlooms," had to refund
the money. His defense was that
he sold the collection without guar
anteeing it's authenticity.
Anyway, he told the judge, "he
might have known he couldn't get
genuine pictures by such masters
for that price"

OKLAHOMA CITY, April (P--The
governmental machinery within the
domeless capitol of the state of Okla
homa is driven with oil and runs with
oiled wheels.
A tax on the production of oil and
gas, in which Oklahoma leads all other
states, supplies funds to pay all state
employees, to defray outstanding OBJ
legations and to maintain the schools
of higher learning within the state.
Some 100000 barrels of oil daily
boiling up from the subterranean
chambers Of the earth, pour rich tri-
butte into the Golfers of the states
general fund.- and, as result, the half
mill state advalorem tax simply has
been forgotten 1t has not bee neces-
sary to collect it.
The gross production tax on crude
oil and gas brought nearly $1O,O0O,O 900
into the state treasury last year. One
third of this sum was distributed to
the counties for roads and schools. The
rest went into the general fund. Of
ficials point out that the amount Of
the taxes indicates that producers of
crude oil and gas received about one
third of billion dollars for their pro-
ducts.
The gross production tax has been
an ever-increasing boon to the govern
ment, and correspondence to the gem
eral tax-paying citizenry, officials
say. In 1926, it exceeded the tax for
1925 by more than $1,OOO,OOO as the
huge Seminole-E -Earlsboro pool daily
poured more and more oil into COM
mercial channels. To be exact, the
gross production tax for 1925 was
$S,2SS,Ss5, while that for 1926 was
$9,925, 47O.

The second picture illustrated was
that of home the dearest place OF

ideals and charms. Why? "Mother."
This challenge sometimes calls men
from their homes to be with those
from without. Surely, those from
without must be able to come within.

CoIored Man Saves
rs White antilles.
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel White SuccOr
Nei6hbOrs Driven Out by Flood.

NEW ORLEANS La, May 10
Following the flooding Of certain
sections of the city by the recent
record rainfall, the heroism or sam
uel White, Negro railroad employee
who rescued and cared for twenty
FIVE white families, is being warmly
acclaimed by the public and the
press.
When the waters began to over
flow the suburb of Edgewood, White
who works in the adjacent stock
yards, hastily built a raft from com
mandeered timbers, voyaged among
the submerged homes and brought
twenty-five families to safety. He
first placed his own home at the
disposal Of the refugees, but that
was soon crowded and he provided
shelter and straw beds for the others
i'll box cars in the railroad yards.
Meantime his wife was busy pre-.
pairing hot coffee and food and from
Friday night until Monday morning
the two furnished meals to the re-
fugees and helped nurse a family OF
children who were i'll with measles
at the time Of their rescue. COM
menting editorially on the incident
the Times-Picayune says:
The submergence in that neigh
borhood persisted through Saturday
and well into Sunday, but White and
his wife faltered not nor failed in
their well doing. They cooked such
food as was available and fed the
rescued folk until Sunday night,
when other relief finally reached
them. This sustained and self-sacri-
ficing service by an humble Negro
family to it's distressed white neigh
bors deserves place upon the per-
manent record, as surely as it will
hold place in the memories OF the
> families who were thus rescued and
fed and sheltered. All residents OF
{ Edgewood, it is reported, are loud
in their praise of Whites heroic
work. The entire community Joins
in that praise which might fittingiy
be broadened, we think, to include
Mrs. White, who cooked the meals
and kept the coffee hot for the
drenched people who were brought
cut of their flooded homes by her
husband and his hastily improvised
raft"
