The lowest point the thermometer i
has reached so far this winter is 11 i
i
degrees above zero. This, of course i
is in the town of Kodiak, Alaska, an «
ideal winter resort. Aside from two .
rather stiff gales and a moderate pro- j
cipitation the climate here has been j
delightful. ;

Christmas Eve numberless presents j
were handfed out to the children and i
i
grownups after the splendid school •
children’s entertainment at Blinn’s
hall. There are no wolves at any
body’s door; everyone seems to hare
plenty to eat and wear, and a moie
contented and happy population never
existed on this mundane sphere.

peas. Mr. Abberts states that he will
hold the silage for spring feeding,
when the range grasses contain lit
tle nutriment.
CLAIR WINDSOR SCORES
BIC IN DANCE MADNESS
This year has seen more dramatic i
i
actors turn to comedy than any oth
er, and in “Dance Madness’ \yhich
opens tonight at the Liberty theatre,
Claire Windsor and Conrad Nagel
are seen in romantic comedy roles.
And they both make the grade with
ease. While Nagel has had' a little
experience in “Excuse Me,” Miss
Windsor here makes her first appear
ance in a comedy.
“Dance Madness” treats a dramat
ic plot in a farcial manner. It is done
in an entirely refreshing manner,
however, and proves that the treat
ment of the story is the only thing
that counts.
Robert Z. Leonard, directed “Dance
Madness.” In the estimation of this
writer, it is the best thing he has
ever done.
