We could not help bat notice on Saturday last the large number of carriages that were hitched to the chain around the public park. The time was when it was the exception for a farmer to own a carriage. Now nearly all are able to come to town in carriages to do their trading, which indicates the changed conditions that have come over this section of our population as a result of the great, prosperity brought about by continued Republican administration, and we know of no one who begrudges the farmers this comfort and thrift. We hope the time will come when they will all be able to use automobiles. --Woodstock Sentinel.

'HUSH MONEY' HARRIS THEATRE of this vicinity who it a practice of seeing only the usual plays appearing at the Loop theatres, will be interested in knowing that in "Hush Money" now at the Harris Theatre, they will find a dramatic offering that is not only an unusual attraction, but one that is declared the most powerful play the stage has offered in the last decade. The authors of "Hush Money" have dealt with a new phase of -society which has recently developed into one of the most widely discussed, and at the same time, most dangerous conditions that our modern pleasure mad people have encountered; i, e., the night clubs of the large cities. It depicts these "upholstered cellars of jazz and bootlegging" in a most daring and convincing manner. And yet it tells its story in a manner so clean that even your old-fashioned-grandmother can seen it without even a suggestion of a blush mounting her revered cheek. But while "Hush Money" teaches a powerful lesson, it is far from a sermon, being instead a red blooded drama filled with laughs, thrills and suspense; in fact it is a bully good evening's entertainment, perfect in its construction and admirably acted. The latter is assured through the selection of a cast of players who have been chosen for their truthfulness of type and capabilities as actors. The story of "Hush Money" has t.) do with two foolish society women, who become frequenters of a certain night club during the absence of their husbands. Here they meet socially, various members of the underworld who frequent the club. One of them dances with a supposed "sheik" who reality is a member of the gang"of jewel robbers and the result it that she loses a very valuable necklace. To recover this bauble and to free herself from the toils of the gangsters results in three acts of stirring action that make "Hush Money" $n« of the best plays of the season. FRANCIS A.
