PRAISE FOR THE "BUCK ON LEAVE" "As a soldier show 'A Buck On Lave Is, I honestly believe the very best thing of its kind that has ever been presented," wroto Colonel Erlo Fisher Wood, of Pitt-burgh, after a successful week's engagement In that city last season. Its Pittsburg success was followed by trumphant weeks in Cleveland and Detroit and when tha play is presented at the Parthenon Theulre In Hammond on Thursday. Friday and Saturday nights, March 9, 10 and 11 unuer the auspices of tho Veterans of Foreign Wars, it will come direct from the Auditorium Theatre in Oruotgo where it packed that big house for two weeks. "A Buck on Leave" which Sergt. Barnes wrote in France and presented for more than elx months over the A. E. F. circuit, is a musical comedy which has the unique distinction of striking a big human note. The "Buck" is a true type, drawn from life, of a big, hulking, slow spoken, gawky doughboy. On his first furlough, after months in the grime and mire of the trenches, he goes to the famous French resort, Aix-les-Rains where a magnificent modern hotel has been set aside for the entertainment of the doughboys. Here "A Buck" is the real personage and is treated as such. The felings of the rough back private after his active service can be imagined when he finds himself living in real luxury with hie every want supplied. Of course there is a girl and a regular American girl too. When the "Buck" first saw her well Just see tn show and find out. An additional feature is that the local produotlon will be offered at only $1.00 for reserved seats and exempt from war tax, as it is for the benefit of ex-service men. The reservation of seats has bon deferred until next Monday, the 6th. instead of tomorrow on account of a delay in the printer In furnishing the jpeial reserved sat tickets. Bear this In mind and do not go to the theatre for your seats until next Monday but buy tickes off the members and other places until that time and exchange for reserved seats on that day or efter.

When a man or woman is so little they don't reach up to our waist-line, we marvel much and look upon them with curiosity The truth is they marry and give in marriage; they love and laugh anl cry and sometimes cmss a bit that Is, the men. They are a good deal like their brothers who make six feet and their sisters who are perfect thirtysixes. Midgets smoke and play cards and gossip and now and then one of the men, men, mind you has been known to take a high-ball. Stenard's Midgets are an unusual entourage of little people. Jolly, happy, well read. All are world travelers who have done Europe and are now doing America.

THE STATES HAVE 95 0F WHISKEY Of These Three Kentucky Haa Twenty-five Out of 38 Million in Whole Country. BT W. H. ATKINS tSTAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE WASHINGTON, Feb. 27 Three states Maryland, Pennsylvania and Kentucky now hold 35 per cent of all the visible supply of or real whiskey In the United States. This was shown today by a survey made by enforcement authorities, preliminary to concentrating the remaining liquor stocks Into fewer warehouses, tq reduce costs and protect the dwindling liquor supplies s gainst robbers. Commissioner Haynes said that within a short period his officers will havo reduced the 300 warehouses to 100. Most of the bonded warehouses are In Kentucky. The figures revealed that of the 25,000.000 gallons of whiskey which Haynes said must run the country for ten years, about 15,000,000 gallons is etored in Kentucky. Illinois has nearly 2,000,000 gallons; Ohio about 1,500,000 gallons. Commissioner Hayens said the concentration will save the government $100,000. Forces of guards, gaugcrf and Inspectors will be greatly reduced. During the last year It is estimated that about 1.000,000 gallons disappeared from warehouse stocks through "evaporation," loss of "holdups." The largre number of fake holdups In which liquor owners are suspected of having conspired with those who engineered deliveries, now will be stopped by safer methods to be followed in guarding the liquors in bond.
