"Tommy" Sparkling Comedy, Here Redpaih Week "Tommy," popular comedy success which will be presented here on the third night of Redpath by a notable New York cast, belongs to that rare group of plays which have registered a Broadway hit overnight. It was heralded by the metropolitan critics, without exception, as the cleverest, most thoroughly enjoyable comedy that New York has seen for ages. The charm of "Tommy" is to be found in the fact that it tells a human, understandable story, and tells it ■frith shouts of laughter and gripping pathos, through real, living human beings.

The Kansas City Convention will require approximately thirty new circuits to provide sufficient talk ing facilities for convention dels gates Six new circuits between St. Louis and Kansas City will be ready for use by June 1. Other circuits will be operated from Kansas City to Wichita, Minne apolis. Des Moines, Chicago and New York, also to Oklahoma City, Washington and Omaha. A "car rier" telephone system will be placed in use between St. L«ouis and Denver In arranging for the Democratic Convention in Houston, other car rier telephone systems will connect St. Louis with that city by way of Little Rock and Texarkana There will be six new circuits in opera tion between St. Louis and Hous ton, including the first direct wire circuit between the two cities which will be 805 miles in length. From Houston seventeen Addition al circuits will be strung to San Antonio, Austin, Galveston, Beau mont and Dallas, and an additional circuit will likewise be provided to Chicago and to St. Louis. New Orleans, Shreveport and New York will also receive additional connec tions with Houston. Houston ana Kansas City will be connected with chain broadcasting stations while the conventions are in progress, making necessary a further use of additional telephone circuits to transmit the broadcast ing program. It is expected that while these two big conventions are in prog ress, Long Distance telephone calls will radiate out of the convention city to every state in the nation,, whi'e additional press wires will carry hundreds of thousands of words that will be sent out during the sessions to the newspapers of the nation. HAD TO DO SOME EXPERT SLEUTHING, BUT GOT MAN The resourcefulness of Long Dis tance telephone operators is illus trated by the experience of a man in Alva, Okla., who desired to speak to an old friend whom he be lieved to be located at Grand Rap ids, Mich., bnt with whom he hadn't been in touch for a great inany years. In trying to put through the call, the operator dis covered that the man had left the Michigan city in 1902. She was eueceesful, however, in tracing him to Lawrence, bnt only to find that he had moved to lowa In IMS. He was filially located at Glen wood, la., much to the pleasure et his Oklahoma friend. TO EXTEND LINES Daring 1921 new Long Distance telephone circuits to take care of the growth of business and to fur ther improve the service will be added in the southern states to an extent ef IL2BI miles. This would increase the total circuit mileage to 241,641 miles. MORTGAGE BLANKS—For sale at this office, or sent by mail, lc each. No mail order for less than 10 Lime and cement.
