the other hand the merchant who
gets the money Is the one who
creates a demand for his wares
through the advertising columns
of the newspaper.
If you have something for sale
write up an advertisement telling
its merits. We will bring it be
fore the people and are confident
it will bring results. Try it.

SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT WAS
SUCCESS IN EVERY WAY
PUPILS OF PUBLIC 80H00L SOO RED A PRONOUNCED 8U0CE88
IN MOOSE HALL LAST NIGHT AND WILL REPEAT THE
PERFORMANCE AT A FUTURE DATE
The entertainment given last
night by the pupi!s of the public
school is one of the ruling topics
of conversation in Valdez today.
The only other subject under dis
cussion is the phenomenal strike
made in the Solomon gulch cop
per mine. Any subject "which can
divide the interest of a mining
town when a big strike has just
been made must have merit and
the entertainment surely possess
ed that quality.
When the curtain went up at
8:30 o'clock every seat in the
house was tilled with seats in the
aisles. Those arriving late were
obliged to stand. The cnicrlaiu
ment may lie said to lie the best
ever given ill Valdez by the pu
pils. The entire program was
carried out with smoothness
1 which spoke highly of faithful
practice by the pupils. The per
formance will be repealed at
i some, future <|;ile in order llial
I those who could not attend last
night may lie given an opportun
ity of seeing the show.
The singing of "Am -rica" and
"The Star Spangled Manner" by
the school children was good, I he
young voices blending in har
mony.
The hoop drill by the pupils of
the primary grades and the scarf
drill by .those of the grammar
grades were very pretty and re
flected credit on I he pupils and
instructors.
"Taking Sam's Photograph" af
forded those who took part in the
playlet an opportunity to tickle
the audience. Fred Fish as Sam,
a typical Southern negro, made
a hit with everybody and he was
ably supported by William Ben
nett, Jr., as Fred, Jewel Rudolph
as Blanche and Lurline Leavell
as Maud.
"A Box «»f Monkeys" proved to
he a scream. It was wi'll acted
throughout and kept the audience
in laughter from start to finish.
The actors were well suited to
I lie characters they port rayed and
[carried their parts to perfection.
It is safe to say when the perform
ance is repeated the hall will again
he crowded, as those who attend
ed last, night are advertising the
show as the best ever. The cast
of the play was as follows: Mrs.
Ondego-Jones, Yerna Fish: Sier
ra Bengalinc, Marion Ingram:
Lady (Juinevere I.landpoorc. F.\a
