Caution dictates that we buy from AMENDMENT On the ballot on election day you will find a measure entitled "Anti- Compulsory-Vaccination Amend merit,” 312, Yea, and 313, No. This measure was drafted by those who do not believe in compulsory vac cination. They do not believe any one has the right to say you MUST be vaccinated. The bill meets our ap provai, and we are going to vote 312 YES. The opposition to the bill sends out literature to the affect that It ; would “Pemit children in whose homes there is smallpox, diphtheria, infan- tile paralysis, meningitis, or • othei catching diseases, to attend school and infect your children.” 1 We all know this is a base falsehood, and shows how desperate the people are who would kill the measure, foi they have every reason to believe it will pass. And we hope their fears are well founded.

MARGUERITE CLARK SEEN IN "WIDOW BY PROXY” Marguerite Clark introduces a nav el addition to her long list of charm ing screen heroines In her latest Paramount-Artcraft picture, "Widow by Proxy,” which will be the attrac tion at The Play House Saturday, October 23 rd. The story is from the Broadway stage success of the same name, wrlten by Catherine Chrisholm Cushing. Miss Clark has the role of a vivacious batchelor girl who pre tends to be the widow of a soldier mising in action, so that her dearest chum may collect an inheritance which is due her, but which she is too proud to accept, Complications ensue thick and fast, and the climax is reached when the “late” husband walks in, very much in the flesh. ‘‘Widow by Proxy” is crowded with wholesome Comedy and provides Just the sort of part that has raised Miss Clark to her present pinnacle of popularity. A capable cast supports the little star. Still Building Sidewalks Contractor Beisse is still putting down concrete walks.

He is interested in anything that will increase his profit. He knows the importance of good seed and well bred stock. He has been talking about it for years. Thought and a little investment pay big dividends in buildings as in stock and seed. When good farm buildings will pay for themselves in the saving of grain, stock, feed and machinery in one season—surely they can be called a good investment.
