VAUDEVILLE MAKES
 ANOTHER HIT, PALACE

The second vaudeville bill ol the present engagement of tht Van and Gilbert's show, present ed at the Palace last night, drew larger audiences than on the opening of the first bill and again made hit judging from the ap plause and laughter. The higf spot of the skit part of the show was perhaps School Days il which Van Alst and Marie Gilbert are given splendid opportunity to hand out the funny stuff, assist ed by Lee Parry as the teacher Van Alst is making a splendid impression by his characterize tions and quaint comedy and Marie Gilbert, in whistling O, dancing, is neat and puts it over As a foil for the comedian she can't be beat. Several smal boys from the audience were add ed to the cast last night and the quibs they got were highly pleas ing to the audience. The opening skit of Van and Gilbert, the Salesman and the Girl" went over nicely with new jokes and talk and incidentally the vest pocket still came in for considera tion.
 Lee Parry repeated his previous success as a banjoist and piano accordion player. Special mum bers were required and the audi ence seemed reluctant to let hin go after his two different appear ances. "The Doll Dance" as play ed on the piano accordion was perhaps his big hit although tho other selections Oh this instru ment and also the banjo took i'm mensely l"The Claw" with Normaf Kerry and Claire Windsor, is tho movie feature and is a thriller "A short synopsis is as follows:

board of directors of the Tri-
County poultry association after
opening bids December 1st. Bids
were opened at Plentywood and
after deliberating for some time,

The bids received by the asso-

close up the year with as little
loss as possible; however, the as

INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC
GENERAL OVER CITY

The epidemic of influenza in this
community has reached an extent
that is inconvenient if not alarm
ing. There is no accurate check
on the number of cases, as the
form in most instances is mild and
often physician is not called. Es-
timating from the number of cases
incidentally heard of along the
street or in ones neighborhood, it
appears within bounds to say that
from one-third to one fourth of the
people in town, at least of the
male population, are suffering
from flu in some degree The
number of men sick appears to
outnumber the women
The schools have not been clos
ed but class work is seriously at
fected by interrupted attendance.
Very few cases of pneumonia are
reported.

CHANG MARVEL MOVIE
IS HIGHLY HERALDED

Chang" motion picture re
vealing the hazardous life of the
jungle, has been brought back to
America by Merriam G. Cooper and
Ernest B. Schoedsack, who spent
% months in the remote interior
of Siam making the production
Heralded by Paramount in such
extravagant superlatives as "one
of the greatest pictures of all
time Chang" is utterly different
from any photoplay ever made, in
that although ferocious animals of
the jungle-tigers, leopards, ele-
plants, great snakes and chatter
ing monkeys are the principal ac-
tors-the picture contains a basic
plot, skillfully embroidered with
the conventional dramatic forms
of sympathy, struggle, menace,
tragedy, pathos and exceptional
comedy, furnished by white glib
bon named Bimbo.
Chang" will be presented at
the Liberty theatre Thursday Fri
day, Dec. 1914, also matinee on
Thursday, under the auspices of
Paramount which organization
financed Cooper and Schoedsack
in their extraordinary effort.
The theme of Chang" is most
elemental-th conflict of man
against his implacable foe, the
jungle, and the hostile beasts
sheltered by its abundant foliage.
In making Chang" Cooper and
Schoedsack constantly faced
death, not only from the tigers,
leopards and snakes,
but from cholera which took the
lives of seven native members of |
their expedition, Schoedsack him
self was stricken with a severe at
.ack of malaria which delayed |
work on the film
AS the protagonists of man in
lis. eternal fight to wrest living
rom the wild, the producer chose
IN heroic Siamese family, a man,
lis wife, their two children, house
lold pets and Bimbo, the monkey.

RANDALL ASKSPATR0NS
WRAP PACKAGES WELL

With Christmas close at hand
Postmaster Randall asks The Her
aid to call the attention of pat
rons of the postoffice to the great
advantage of cooperation with the
postal employees to secure prompt
and sure delivery of Christmas
mail In the first place Mr.. Ran
dali asks them to get their pack
ages in the mail early allowing
plenty of time for the holiday
rush and congestion that is bound
to slow up the transportation of
packages. The next thing is to
address packages carefully. Be
sure you have the right address
and write it or type it on clearly.
Another important item is to have
the address of the sender on the
package without fail. Use strong
paper around the package. Wrap
and tie securely. Do not seal
package as that will make it take
a higher rate unless you take the
precaution of explaining that it is
merchandise only. This must be
printed or typed, writing in pen
and ink does not comply with the
AS everyone knows, Mr.. Randall
and his assistants do everything
in their power in the matter of
accommodations to patrons, and
should be given full cooperation by
those employing the postal service.
