 BE PRODUCED
High School Glee Club to Stage T h e Sailor
 Maid Next Week

Sponsored by the High School Glee Club, the operetta, ''The Sail or Maid" will be put on at the Elks Hall on March 29 and 30, by the high school. The musical pro- duction has a large cast with 38 in the chorus, and seven principals, The directing is divided between Miss Ardeena Lear, who handles the spoken lines, Miss Dorothy Fisher, in charge of orchestration and Miss Dorothy Chisholm, who is directing the chorus and vocal work.
 An orchestra picked from the school is being trained in the snap py music of the production, and the stage crew has been working for weeks on the special scenery.
 There will be specialties by Har- riet Holman and Gardner Leighton, that will range from the sailors hornpipe to the latest Frisco, it is said.
 The story of the operetta is a version of a light love story, that becomes tangled, and the scene is laid in a lighthouse off the coast of New England. The time is the present and action starts on the evening the lighthouse keepers daughter is celebrating her 18th birthday and the announcement of her betrothal. Everything pos sible is being done to make the performance smooth, finished and snappy in tempo.

LONDON, March 20.-The Lib eral Party has taken to the fielC early in the campaign for tn, forthcoming general election. Cam. paign literature is already beins distributed.
 The British voters will elect 61t members of Parliament and set ur an entirely new government within the next few months, probably ir June. l An inspection of the number ot votes cast at the last general cleo tion in 1924 will give some idea as to the relative strength of the three important parties. The conserva- tives received 8,112,811 votes, the Laborites got 5,47O,695 and the Lib erals 2,909,122.
 Last year the Liberals sent a small delegation to the United States to study the methods used during the Presidential election, and they intend to turn the lessons learned to good account.
 They already are offering prizes for a slogan, and it has been face tiously suggested that they adopt "our turn next" in recognition of the two last governments being re- spectively Labor and Conservative. Slogans have long played an im- portant part in British politics Disraeli chose the phrase peace with honor" when he negotiated the treaty with Berlin. Tn the past the Liberals have been for tunate with catch phrases. Two of their famous war cries were: Three acres and COW" and "Ninepence for fourpence
 And while the preliminary cam paign literature is being distrib- uted and political alignments gen. orally frightened the brains of Eng lands smallest big" party are busy scheming to win Kudos at the el- i ection.
 The leaders of the Liberal Party are David Lloyd George, Sir Her bert Samuel, Walter Runciman, Lord Beauchamp, Viscount Grey and ST John Simon.
 Viscount Grey Of Fallodon once was British Ambassador to the United States, and he is a former Secretary of State for Foreign Af- fairs. Lord Greys counsels are eagerly sought by his party col- leagues, but his lordship's role has been largely inactive since he be- came nearly blind in 1919 It is doubtful whether he would again accept active office.
 Walter Runciman is a former President of the Board of Trade end is the son of Sir Walter Run ciman, the famous ship owner. Sir John Simon, one of the most prom inent Liberals, is famous lawyer at the head or the Simon Commis- sion, which is studying conditions m India to determine that coun- try's capacity for self government.
 Sir Herbert Samuel is Secretary of the party. He has had distin- guiShed career. Once he served as High Commissioner for Palestine. Sir Herbert has said that the fail ure of the Geneva Arms Confer ence was the worst thing that has happened to Britain since the World War. T view with grave disquiet the present tendency of American opinion in relation to this country" he is quoted as say ing.
 David Lloyd George is, of course, the little Welshman who has be- come almost a legendary character in the minds of many Americans. He was Prime Minister from 1916 to 1922, but his hold on the leader ship of the party was hotly con- tested by the late Lord Oxford and Asquith.
 Generally speaking, the Liberal Party platforms most important blanks are free trade, industrial re- form, international peace and dis armament.

William d. Burton, near George

week with the contents which in
cluded a considerable quantity of
farm machinery, a large quantity
of hay and $50 bushels of wheat.
The loss is $4,000 and is partly
covered by insurance. Fire, the
origin of which is unknown, was
first discovered in the tenant house
occupied by Carmine and the
Georgetown fire department was
summoned. The flames in the
house were extinguished but five
other buildings caught fire and all
were destroyed except one chicken
house. When it was seen that the
fire was spreading, fire companies
