MASK AND MANTLE DELIGHTS AUDIENCE IN FIRST PRODUCTION Presenting & difficult play In a very creditable manner, the Mask and Mantle, Earlham's dramatlo society, made its initial appearance Saturday night before a large and appreciative audience. - The youthful actors deserve praise for their successful presentation of Milestones, -which is a play requiring experience and staging facilities not generally within the reach of amateur producers. ; Difficulty would be encountered in selecting any star performer from the cast as all of the charcters took their parts well. John Green In the role of an enthusiastic young iron founder who as the action of the play proceeds and his age increases gradually loses his ambition, had perhaps the most important part and showed remarkable ability in his interpretation Of it Characters Contrasted. The action of the play covers a period of 52 years and brings forth Ihe ever presnt conflict between the pmbitions of the rising generations as conflicted with the more conservative views of the passing generation. Each act brought on another set of new charcters to show the contrast between their views and those of their ancestors. ; The Mask and Mantle will continue the study of worthwhile plays at their reruiar meetings and may make another public appearance later on In the year. Prlase Mrs. Robinson. The play was coached by Mrs. H. R. Robinson, who has had previous experience in coaching Enrlham productions. Much credit, is due her for the way in which the character development was portrayed. Part of the costumes. were ordered from a costuming house and the remainder were obtained by Mis Eler.uor Dav, costumor of the club. Properties and ret fines were worked out by Miss Day md Robert Swain. Miss Tvi Verne Jont-.q was in rhartre of the make-up. The -Rt of charcters follows: John Rhejd John Greer. Certmde Rhead..

Wis., Dec. 20. After clearing 18.000 acres of land in 1920, thereby establishing a world's record, Marinette county. Wis., through the Marinette County Land Clearing association, proposes to clear 30,000 acres in 1921. Larry F. Livingston, secretory and directing engineer of the association, in announcing the program for 1921. says that the impetus given land clearing in the county by the 1920 campaign would insure at least a duplication of this year's clearing without the aid of the association. A complication of reports and projects indicates that 100,000 acres of lnd wMl be cleared in 'inner Wisconsin. Michigan, and Minnesota in IQ'M. under the impulse given bv the V'eonsin College of Agriculture, which began the first organized lajid e'earing campaign of education in 1914 and has continued it ever since.

LAW ENFORCEMENT (Continued from Page One) they pleased or displeased you? , Isn't it true that there are a large number of local people indifferent about conditions? It must be so, or you would not have allowed your officials to be lax in law enforcement." Discusses Means. Discussing the ways to go about securing relief from liquor violations when city and county officials turn a deaf ear to supplications, he said : "You can call upon the attorney general of the state, federal officers or the anti-saloon league. While we have no special authority we can often help as a medium between the citizens and officials. I was here at the request of the attorney-general recently." Mr. Shumaker spoke at Intervals, always insisting upon local citizens

changing from an Indifferent attitude to one of keen interest and activity. Talks were made by the Revs. L. E. Murray and R. W. Stoakes, and a representative from the Central Labor Council. The meeting took the form of a round table discussion. Pleads For Enforcement. Making a plea for law enforcement, Mr. Shumaker, called upon the people of Richmond "to stand solid for the enforcement of the Eighteenth amendment," at the morning church service of St. Paul's Lutheran church, Sunday. Silimar pleas were made by seven other anti-saloon league representatives in Richmond churches, during the day. "We will not need a league of nations; the countries of the world can disarm and beat their swords into plow-shares and their spears into prunning hooks when world prohibition has been realized." To back up this assertion the speaker told of how Mexicians have been led to evil deeds when they had been

filled with intoxicating liquors. He!

cited figures to show that approximately $100,000,000 annually was being spent by the United States for border protection, and that this great sum of money could be saved yearly providing liquor was not to be had by

the otherwise harmless Mexican citi

zens. Mr. Shumaker event went so far as to declare tnat it was " booze" that caused the World war, and that from its results we are now called upon to feed and clothe the starving millions. Explains Duties. "It i3 the duty of all law-abiding citizens to uphold the law of our land, yet after the United States congress had passed the Volstead act, California declined to put into operation effective legislation to carry out the 18 amendment, by a majority of 80,000. Massachusetts likewise failed to restrict the sale of beer and light wines. Ohio went on record by 772,000 votes as against law enforcement, when the people went to the polls. "People practically stand for anarchy when they take desperate means to get and sell liquor, contrary to our national laws. Thousands and millions of gallons have found their way out fo legalized bonded warehouses, and are being used illegally. Then there is the springing up of stills throughout the land, hundreds of them right here in Indiana." From this point Mr. Shumaker told of the blockade running from Canada into the United States by high powered motor cars carylng gallons of

liquor. Of the traffic between persons in the United States and Mexico, Cuba and St. Thomas Island. Describing the route taken he said : Describes Route. "It is imported into the United States and taken to St. Paul, Minn., and Chicago. From these points it goes to Ft. Wayne, South Bend, Indianapolis and," here the speaker paused, then shouted "Richmond." "It is up to the people to rally around their public officials and demand law enforcement," be continued. "See that their mayors have backbone before they elect them. Then stand

by to see police boards and patrolmen chosen who will stand for enforcement of our laws. You must have a city court that will lay a heavy hand on the wilful law violators. "With a city government that stands for righteousness and not iniquity, the problem will be solved."
