The company which is to appear

The story Of the play deals with

ment is furnished BY the fathers OF
the young couple marrying outside

Nichols has succeeded in handling
this delicate problem in a most anus

REED PLEADS
FOR HARMONY
High Tariff Raped by
Candidate in Talk
At Tulsa

TULSA, Okla, Feb. 22.-CP)-The
plea Of Senator Reed Of Missouri for
party harmony won q round of ap-
piause as he carried on hisGwestern
campaign before a crowded hall here
last night.
I'VE democrats can't get a party
together" he warned, 'by writing
u party differences into a plat
form. You can put things in a plat
form but you can't make men vote
against their judgment"
An attack on the protective tariff
which he attributed as the cause of
the farmer ills was coupled here by
the Missouri democratic presidential
candidate with another assault on
the Coolidge administration and a
plea for 'the return Of honesty in
government"
Asking for party unity, Senator
Reed 81 far in his western speeches
has refrained from direct reference
to prohibition or TO the row over the
league of nations although he did
refer last night to Woodrow Wilson
whose league proposal he helped to
defeat. He recalled that Wilson
"drove the lobbyists out Of Washing
ton" and added that however you
may have differed with his advisers
you could say he had an honest adj
ministration."

cloth has increased from 81 to 81
square yards in the last % years. the
