BRITISH KING'S SON TURNS TO USEFUL
EMPLOYMENT; POURS TEA FOR WOUNDED
CARNIVAL CO.
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.

wns shv. 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

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.

made to bring some o( the shows to

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

merry-go-round and . ferrls wheel
could be obtained from Salem and
plenty of entertainment could be
provided. ,

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
