INTERESTING A delightful program was given at the Masonic hall last evening by the Literary Department of the Worn man's club. The program opened with an interesting account of Folk Lore and Mythology, by Miss Murthg Tyner followed by three very pretty folk games ami dances by the pupils of Misses Ruth Parrish and Florence Haney of the Riley school, under the direction of the former. Mrs. L. A. Holthouse then sang a beautiful song in connection with the program, fol lowed by Mrs. Anna Vance’s reading of an entertaining story concerning Budah. Then after a description of the ancient Vestal Virgins by Miss Tyner, a number of high school girls representing the Vestal Virgins gave a most artistic drill. This concluded the evening’s splendid program.

GIVE MEN A JOB National Education Association Urges School <)fncials to Build AND REPAIR SCHOOLS That Army of Unemployed Might Be Kept BusyBulletin Comes Here. School officials in Adams county have received Bulletin No. 17, sent out by the National Education association with headquarters at Washington, which urge them to build new schools where needed, und repair and reequip others during the time of business depression, in the hope that thousands of men over the country may b» kept at work in various lines necessary to produce materials for the construction work. The program is a part of the Harding-Hoover plan at the recent unemployment conference. The bulletin says: Hundreds of new school buildings are needed in every state in the union. Hundreds of thousands ot school children in the Nation's leading cities are in school only half time for want of seating space. Other hundreds of thousands are seated in buildings whose light and sanitation is a menace to health. Millions are in buildings ill suited to the purposes and requirements of education as it is now conceived and organized. Every city in the United States needs school buildings—and there are probably no exceptions—can by getting its building program under way give immediate relief to its unemployed. Especially in small towns and in the open country school building should be encouraged. The thousands of small building enterprises amount to an immense total. A school building for even a hundred pupils in the small town sets men to work. These men pay grocery bills and buy supplies and thus give work to other men in other places. Small buildings call for lumber, sand, stone and other materials, the supplying of which gives jobs to idle men. Many such buildings added to the larger building programs of the cities can be made to create a great tide of employment which must certainly mean better times for the nation and its people. AT GREEN BRIER CHURCH. O. I. Vance of this city was one of the speakers at a Sunday school convention of the Willshire township Sunday schools held at the Green Brier church on Sunday. He had a part in the afternoon program, and the two session were very interesting. Dale Cowan is the president of the town ship organization and Jerome Morrison. secretary.

At last that elusive object for which all the movie-makers are continually seeking—the picture that is "different." Cosmopolitan productions achieved it in “Humoresque”; now it is said, the same producers have done it again with “Heliotrope." the screen version of Richard Washburn Child’s popular story. While the romance of two young people is developed to a happy ending in this picture, the main theme is that of a father who sacrifices his life to precent disgrace from befalling his daughter. It is the story of a sinister woman foiled by a regenrated convict and of a happiness that comes to the latter’s daughter as the result of his heroic action. Thrills a-plenty and a finale tligt is surprising as it is satisfying is promised in “Heliotrope.” The picture will be shown at the Crystal tonight and Wednesday. It is a Paramount. Special music at night. Louise Koldewey of Union town ship, shopped here this morning. Dallas Spuhler of Union township, was in the city this afternoon on business.
