El Prince Albert, second son of King George of England, recently had the novel experience of turning his hand to a useful employment. One thou sand wounded soldiers were the guests of the king and the queen, and the young prince and his sister pour ed tea for the men who had risked .their lives in Flancers. In doint? this they broke a long established prece dent, for it is not considered proper in England for princes to serve the common people. DATESFO M iks Offer to Cancel Contract If Necessary.

None of these, according to the present day standards of motion picture producers, would qualify 0 great screen star, unless to tho well known charms of each sonio other great claim were added. Cleo KtdKot declares thnt It Is deflanco of death which will moro surely than any other virtue place a you.;g woman anion the ranks of the motion picture stars. J To a considerable degrco Miss Hidgely possesses In combination some of the qualities of Venus, Athena an Diana. Sho Is pretty, wiso and shy. But theso nlono will bring her little In this world, she says- Therefore, who! she decided some years ago to become a motion picture star she started on tho geneml theory that the public noj or was so Interested to anythiug as to a narrow escape from death. For sovoral years she has been dodging the Bj Scythe. j Miss Ridiioly Is one of the most expert horse-women In tho country. The chances are that when you, some yent ago, saw a laotlou picture of a woman falling down a precipice on tho bnck of a horso, that woman was Cle ltidsely. She is now a star of the Jesse L. I.asky Feature Piny Compnny and her next photoplay entitled "TU Lovo Mask," which will be shown In 1'iirnmoiint theatres, mid In which sho co-stnrs with the handsome Wallnq lield, will re- eal .Miss Hidgely In a new feat of daring.

Europe will rise rapidly ' from the ashes of war. , Demobilizing the great .rmies, re starting the machinery and collect-, .". Ing the threads of coinnierce will take time, :t the spirit of revival will be much greater than ever be fore. The belligerent nations' enormous new machinery for making munitions will, mostly, be adapted to develop ing various manufactures. This will be a great asset. I question whether labor will ever permit a return of the pre-war low scale of wages in Engtnd, France !. or Germany. I think the standard of labor has been permanently raised '' throughout Europs.l I 'am -Wry felad' of it. Tremendous Impetus has been glv- more. ! It has been the custom for a man j to retire from or never enter busi ness, just living upon his small or , large income, and seeking a peerage ' or baronetcy. Now he will find It wise and inviting to become a busi ness man who helps produce.' I think society, so often snobbish and unintelligent in big affairs, will break off the barnacles of the ml'il- Victorlan period and again look upon work, trade and commerce . as praiseworthy rather than pitiable. England has many beautiful estateB with much idle ground. A great many of these estates will he sold because the owners cannot af ford to hold them. Thus, much land heretofore Idle will become agricul tural ground, used In the real inter ests of life. Many young men who had unln terestlne posts have joined the army ;ii'an.i crnt n tnntn nf fresh air and sun shine which they will have difficulty in forgetting. Those posts now must en female labor.

No cheap carnival com pany or shows will be allowed this yea it It being the plan to liavo ev erything high class and of the very best obtainable. ' A plan for an athletic meet anions the grade and high schools of the county to be held on the three days of the carnival has been proposed by some of the school officials and should the contract with the com pany be canceled this suggestion will probably be adopted. Grounds will be arranged for and field and track team will compete for honors. A merry-go-round and . ferrls wheel could be obtained from Salem and plenty of entertainment could be provided. , No definite action will be taken until further word Is received from the carnival company although the well known aviator .

I don't believe the young man whose head is full of brains and whose body Is full of good red blood will be content to continue n the old smewhat feudal basis which existed In parts of this portion of the world war. England Is recognizing for the first time in 50 years that Commerce is the most necessary branch of ac tivity In building up tho state. I think the terms of finul settle ment of this war will have much to do with possible trading among themselves of the nations now at war. Many people feel that Ihe public never again will buy a German made article Othors feel that trading ngain must begin between Germany and great Britain after the settle ment, to a greater or lesser extent depending on the manner in which the final treaty Ib drawn. England may adopt a protective tariff, taking the matter out of poll tics. Before the war, the Issue of protection was nearly dead, but with the new industries springing up there will be a feeling that they should he, at least for a period, pro tected from lower priced contenlntal labor. America rduld manufacture for the European market but has not during the laHt year and a half mani fested any great desire to do It, or taken any serious stops toward It, with a few exceptions. America has not yet quite learn-1 cd the science of export business. It Is difficult for a commercial lo de-i velop the Intricate export business j w;i.r! the oiements of trading are; unfamiliar.
