CAST FOR SENIOR
PLAY ANNOUNCED
AT I SCHOOL

Practice of the annual senior
class play, the cast of which was
announced here this week, is now
engaging upper class members at
Carbon county high school under
the direction of Miss Mary C.
Larkin.
This year the class has chosen
a three-act farce, Funny Phinny,"
for presentation to the public
which is said to be one Of the out
standing plays of its type. The
theme of the play revolves around
the efforts of one, Amos Plummer,
hen-pecked manager of the Ban
ner Laundry, where the scenes are
laid, which is owned by his wife,
and Richard Kendall, agent of the
Laundry Workers union, to find
a plan whereby they can wreck
the thriving business of Mrs.
Plummer.
The hero, Phineas Pike, en-
gagged in the not too prosperous
trade of selling books, happens
along at the critical moment, and
is hired to drive the delivery wag-
on of the Banner Laundry. Mr..
Glucksman, an inventor, furnishes
lots of fun to the audience when
he reveals his marvellous inven-
ton to his friends at the laundry.
A romance between the hero,
Phineas Pike, and Ruby Shaeffer,
employed as a sorter in the laun-
dry, is woven into the theme and
is spurred on as much as possible
by Mrs. Plummer.
The cast as announced Tuesday
by Miss Larkin includes Margaret
Albert as Ruby Shaeffer; Antonio
Schneider as Genevieve Mac
Goosh, a marker in the laundry;
Mary Chefren as Clara litter
employed as a polisher in
the laundry; Petronella Fernando
as Ella Flynn, a mangler in the
laundry; Bee Lynes as Millicent
Murray, the counter girl; Elmo
Ollila as Amos Plummer, laundry
manager; George Abraham as Mr..
Glucksman, the inventor; John
Rossetto as Richard Kendall,
agent of the Laundry Workers
union; Evangeline Schuss as Mrs.
Plummer, owner of the laundry
Dick Loughney as Phineas Pike,
the book-agent hero.
The business staff of the play
includes Jane O'Connor and Ruth
Cooley, business managers; Wal
ter Helm and Eddie Weydt, stage
managers; John Schneider and
Fred Klepich, advertising man.

thus every district in the county
may make the most of this oppor-
tunity of having textbooks made
disable for some time to come. In
every case the principals of the
various schools where the project
has operated to date have ex-
pressed satisfaction and commend
ed the project and the quality of
the work accomplished. They re-
port that in the salvaging of these
books, several hundreds of dollars
have been saved to school dis
tricts in Carbon county.
Clerical placements, as con-
tanned in the CWA report, show
that one stenographer has been
placed in the office of the super
intendent of schools, one in the
Red Lodge public library and
three have been given employ
ment in offices at the county
courthouse.

SIMMONS RETURNS
FROM HELENA MEET
Describes Session as Most
Spectacular In the
States Past

Terming it the most spectacu-
lar and unusual legislative session
in the history of Montana or any
other state, Senator H. A. Sim
mons returned to his home here
Saturday from Helena after par
ticipating in the special session
of the Montana Legislature which
adjourned Friday.
AS chairman of the committee
on labor and capital, Senator Sim
mons said that he was kept busy
with the numerous bills dealing
with those subjects which came up
for consideration before the upper
body. He also serves on the ju-
dietary, education, insurance and
election and privileges commit
tees.
The act to create a water con-
servation board, he said, was an
important and holly debated issue
of the session. With twenty other
members OF the senate, he opposed
the creation of the board because
of the added expense to the state,
feeling that there was already
boards on the payroll of Montana.
Further, he said, they favored
turning the duties of the water
conservation board over to the
state board of railroad and public
service commissioners. This board,
Mr.. Simmons pointed out, also acts
as a state trade commission and
irrigation committee and is ably
fitted to handle the duties of the
water conservation board.
Of four garnishment bills pre-
sented to the legislative body, only
one, drawn up and introduced by
Senator Simmons, gained the sig
nature Of the governor.

RED LODGE SCRAP
Huck Finn Drops Decision
In SIX Round Mill;
Concrete Wine

Alex Snyder, III pounds, OF
Worland, Wyo., won a unanimous
decision over "Huck Finn" Mihel-
cic, lao and three-quarters pounds,
of Washoe, in the six-round main
event staged Friday night in the
Washington hall arena by Pro-
motors Henry Albert and Leland
Newman.
Packing sleep-producing wallops
in both his left and right glove,
the lightweight champion of the
Equality state found the Washoe
boys chin a fairly easy mark to
shoot at. Mihelcic hit the canvas
six times during the six-round
mill, and the bell twice inter
rupted Referee Castellano's count
over him during the bout.
The first round ended fairly
evenly, both boys taking it easy
until they struck up an acquaint-
anceship. In the second Snyder
began to shoot in his left to
Huck's face and the Washoe boy
retaliated with an offensive which
drove Snyder to the ropes. Both
seemed over-anxious and went
down in a heap in the rings GEN.
ter during the round. Huck was
down from a left cross to his face
but was up again before a count
was made at the bell.
The third period saw Snyder
work in close, rocking Huck with
swapping rights and lefts to the
chin. Huck worked in blows to
Snyder's face. Snyder kept up his
drives on Huck's chin and the Wa
shoe boy was down twice in the
round for the nine count. In the
fourth canto, Huck came out to
pummell the Wyoming titleholder
around the face and body. Snyder
drove Huck to the ropes with
rights and lefts to the face. Huck
went down and the bell ended the
count at six.
Both boys exchanged punish
ment in clinches which opened the
fifth canto. Snyder Jared the
Washoe battler with lefts and
rights to the face. Huck closed in
clinches where he took consider
able punishment. Huck went down
and the bell sounded on the six
count. In the final frame Snyder
came out confident that his sleep
ers would take effect, but found
the Washoe boy aggressive. Huck
put Snyder into the ropes to open,
and both boys came out of it to
tie up in the center of the ring.
Huck was down for a seven count.

BALL HERE
TO BE
YEARS SOCIAL E

The presidents birthday ball,
being staged here by the Young
Democrat Club of Carbon county
at the Labor temple on the night
of January 80, promises to be one
of the outstanding informal Soc
ial events of the season if present
plans of the committees in charge
are carried out.
The local dance will be but one
of over 5000 similar affairs be-
ing staged throughout the nation
in honor of the f%ifty-second birth
day of President Franklin d.
Roosevelt, the entire proceeds to
be presented to the president as
a birthday gift from the Ameri-
can people. The sum is to be used
to provide a permanent endow-
ment fund to the Georgia Warm
Springs Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis.
Ray Gibbons, chairman in
charge of the arrangements COM
mittee of the local affair. an
nounced this week that half of the
proceeds derived from the dance
here next Tuesday night would be
presented to St. Vincent's Ortho-
pedic hospital at Billings. Re-
ports of ticket sales, which start
ed here last week, so far were
proving gratifying. he said.
Local clubs and fraternities,
Mr.. Gibbons said, so far contact
ed by committeeman have ex-
pressed their willingness to lend
their support to the cause. These
are the /. o. 0. F., American Leg
ion, Business and Professional
Mems club, Italian Lodge, Vic
tory Girls, Knights of Pythias,
the Elks and Moose lodges. 9th
ers, he said, will be contacted this
week.
Every effort is being expended
by those in charge of the dance
here Tuesday to make the affair
a success, he said. The committee
has not yet completed its plans,
but hopes to obtain the use of a
loud-speaker system so that
dance-goers may hear the nation
wide broadcast being staged in
honor of the occasion on that
night. He urged that merchants
of the city decorate their shop
windows with pictures of President
Roosevelt, the hospital at Warm
Springs, Georgia, or st. Vincent's
hospital at Billings, if possible, in
order to inform the public of the
worthiness of the cause.
Proceeds from each ticket sold
to these affairs, he said, are re-
garded as a personal gift to Presi-
dent Roosevelt from the individual
purchasers, and in turn to some
crippled child.

Hester's. She studied the miniature for long

"Too wonderful" Rosemary thought. "It
hurts"
During the next hour she set out to captivate
the older woman, while Hester looked on with
some amusement and q shade of concern. Miss
Folsom had so evidently never known any one
like Rose; she was first bewildered then en-
tranced, by the girls charm, her franlness, her
youth, and, above all, by her dazzling friendli-
ness. Rosemary swept her gayly through the
next three days, shopping, taking her to a play,
q concert, to luncheon and tea before she put
her ON the Boston train.
"She was quite touchingly thrilled by it ALL"
the girl said afterward. "She adores to do
things, but sort CT surreptitiously. She's had
a horrid life She's stood things and repressed
herself 50 long that she hasn't any initiative

When the portrait was done Miss Folsom
came for it herself. In an ebony frame the ex-
quisite little head, with its high-piled hair, its
sad eyes and its small sorrowful mouth, was
a beautiful thing, and Charlotte said so warmly.
After tea they sat ON in the darkening studio.
Charlotte broke the silence.
"You don't know how kind you've both been
to me. You've made everything easy, and
you've given me a wonderful portrait of Leila.
