A committee from Arlington
met with the court in regard to
the Columbia Highway work but
the right of way haa not been se
cured yet and inasmuch as no
bidder will undertake the con
tract until thia is done there ia
no prospect of work being com
menced immediately. It ia not
kno vn yet who will have charge
of construction.
Let's give a little mors and
help to make Christmas h little
more merry for the, poor Belgian
children.

County Roadmaster Smyth re
ports that the county will put in

the road crosses just above the
Maddock ranch. This will be a
welcome improvement
To raise a more substantial
sum for the Belgian children.
who are now and will be for some
time to come greatly in need of
continued assistance, the con;
mittee which has in charge the
raising of these funds -will offer
for sale small Christmas greeting
cards at the small sum of 15
cents each. These cards are
simple but exquisite with the
words peace on earth, good will
towards men" printed beneath
the Christmas decoration. There
will be only 50 sold in this com
munity and these should eaaili
be disposed of in less than an
hour. Condon has so far raised
by the milk bottles $206.18.
While' thia , is appreciated and
will go far toward relieving much
suffering among ' the Belgian
children, it is not up to the
amount Condon should have
raiscJ for thia great work.

Old Timer Never For
gets the Game
Fred Anderson, cashier of . the
Mitchell bank, was in Condon
Saturday and called at the Globe
office to see that everything was
all right in the mechanical de
partment ' Several years ago
'Fritz" was a printer and a good
one, a Globe veteran, and he has
never been able to get the germ
out of his system which after all
is nothing strange. So every
time he comes to Condon he calls
in to get his hands smeared with
ink and grease and the old never
to be forgotten smell in his nos
trils. vHe came at an opportune
moment too for one of the presses
bad developed a streak of mulish
ness which defied the present
force and the best mechanics in
town. In ten minutes "Fritz"
located the trouble and fixed it.
He had ink on his fingers, and
the fervid blessings of the Globe
force and was happy again.

The great picture. "My Four
Years in Germany," which is to
be shown tomorrow. November
30, at the Liberty Theatre in a
2:30 matinee and in the evening
at 7:30, gives the outstanding in
cidents of the story, visualizing
scenes of the great strueele so
graphically told by Ambassador
Gerard. That the picture is a
great success is evident by the
enthusiastic reception it has re
ceived in all the big cities.
Practically the whole picture
s concerned with the Ambass
ador's experiences in Germany
from the time the war broke out
until this nation joined with the
Allies. . Perhaps the incidents
shown which will prove of the
greatest interest to spectators
are Mr. Gerard's audiences with
the madman who ruled Germany.
lheir conversations are illus
trated in the sub titles. The cli
max is reached when the kaiser
slurs the United States and its
fighting ability and the screen
displays multitude of our land
and sea forces. What the Huns
did to Belgium and to northern
France is shown with marvelous
and realistic fidelity to the facta.
Gerard's visits t6 ihe Hun ptison
csmps are pictured and also that
scene where Gerard is handed
hia passports after having told a
pompous German that he would
stay right in Germany till hell
freezes'? before he would sign an
agreement to permit interned
German ships to depart from our
ports.
