shipped but 17,000 carloads of
foodstuffs last year, while Yakima

smaller and less fertile place, had

that he would like to see done
away with, and advocated cooper

means of bringing about an in

The meeting was devoted ' to
speeches-by several members, of
the local organization who brought
out and stressed .various points on
Kiwanis ideals. Those who snoke

"What Price Glory," a drama
of war into which a seasoned ma
rine, Laurence Stallings, and a
great dramatist. Maxwell Ander
son, have. poured their resentment
of privation, and slaughter, and
futile sacrifice of conflict, until a
living picture ot war has been
created, brutal and real in detail,
was presented before an ample and
enthusiastic audience at the Heilig
theatre last evening.
Of profanity, there was plenty;
the cussing of the war days, but to
focus attention upon that was to
ignore the genuine purpose of the
piece, which shows the conflict not
a "mere playing with paper dolls,"
but a grim and dirty business. '
Exceptional talent was marked
in the cast, from the convincing
presentation of Captain Flagg. an
old campaigner, characterized by,
himself as an '"epoch making dis
aster," to the unvanquished top
sergeant, strong in his love, un
forgiving in his enmity, but first
and last a marine, ready and will
ing to battle. "
NAVY PICTURE COMING
ARMY MAJOR TO SPEAK
RETIRED . SALVATIONISTS TO
RE HERE OVER WEEK-END .
Major and. Mrs. A. W. McCurdy",
Salvation- Army officers of ,25
years standing, now retired, from
active service and living near
Gates, Ore., will be guests of the
local Army corps Saturday and
Sunday, when they will conduct
three . special meetings for the
public, ,'
The major and his wife have
spent sixteen years of their Salva
tion Army career as missionaries
in India, during which time they
were- in charge of settlements for
criminal tribes, farm colonies, and
Indian village district work.
Mrs. McCurdy. prior to her
Over the affections of Char
maine, these two former com
rades, each of whom at one time
has "broken" the other in rank,
manage to quarrel throughout the
piece, victory being snatched from
each when the company is forced
to move into trenches.
Of the college soldier, there is
plenty, with all contrast In favor
of the marine. The second act, a
cellar in a disputed town, is
gruesome enough, a real cross sec
tion of men's lives under fire, full
of humor, and drama and brave
boys who, a moment later are
"only a pack of bloody rags, and
a pile of dirt."
Wounded in action, the top ser
geant returns to Charmaine only
a few minutes before his company
commander arrives, having been
relieved at last in reward for the
capture of a German officer, de
manded by the staff. Sick with
fatigue, the two rivals find their
enmity smothered out when head
quarters revokes the promised
leave and the division moves back
to the front.'
"I don't know where we're go
ing. Nobody does," is Captain
Flagg's parting comment. "Which
goes to show "it takest a lot
of fools to pake a war," .calls Top
Sergeant Quirt, as he races after
his departing command.
Throughout the piece, the audi
ence responded with spontaneous
bursts of laughter, and- genuine
surges of sentiment. Of its kind
t is a play well done, and was well
received.
