"Class '18"
Just yestermorn beheld us forlorn, Timid Freshmen, groping our way O'er boulders of Latin and lessons with "math" in, And of light ahead — not a ray!
As we look back o'er the less'ning track Imprinted by vanishing Time, I tender the palm as a Gilead balm To this falt'ring Freshman line.
For we stood alone, not fully grown, In a land all strange and new. Then magic arose with our Sophom,ore clothes, Which we quickly, as Juniors, outgrew.
Now, as Seniors grown, with a world our own We pause on the threshold here With a smiile in our eye and a tear close by And a joy just tinged with fear.
We're starting again, with women and men, As Freshmen once more to fare, And we're leaving these walls for larger calls In the world of Do and Dare.
Here we're put some stars on our flag of wars, And Mary, and Tom, and Gene Have worked without pause for our country's cause And the name of "Class '18."
We've saved and knit, each doing his bit For our boys somewhere in France, And buried ourselves in libr'y shelves Our grades in class to advance.
But we've toiled in vain and pleaded in pain, In the walls of C. H. S., If a sheepskin roll is the only toll We exact at the end of the test.
So give us good will, as our places you fill; And write our names subject to call. We've not gone yet to the land of Forget Out there past Mem'ry Hall.
So lend a hand to our trusty band, Ere Fate tread in between; Old ties, and tried, may yet decide The future of "Class '18." |H;IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII;,KI lUlllllllllllll

"Hobo Day"
FEW years ago a number of Seniors decided that April Fool's Day was for the vulgar and the common multitude and that it was up to them to give it a A dignity befitting a Senior. As a result of their august deliberations "Hobo Day" budded forth. Since then every succeeding Senior Class has endeavored to surpass the preceding one and we are confident that this year's program was the best yet.
Did ever one see such a conglomerated mixture of nationalities, hobo-alities, and personalities. Representatives of every country on the globe promenaded in the halls. Lilian McCarty and her dusky companion, Reybourne Fearnsides represented the in terior of Africa. Our colonial ancestors, Corinne Culp, Francis Hawkins, Corrine Bilker, and Nora Wing, made us almost wish that this was the Colonial Period. But speaking of kidlets did you see Anna Payne and Peggy Patterson (it was rumored that Mr. Smith, principal of Washington School, tried to catch them and take them back to school with him, he thought they were some of his youngsters out for a lark), weren't they great. As a fresh egg seller Ruth Acree would have taken the prize at any fair. The above are just samples of the famous Shakespearian actors that performed under the big tent at Central High on April first.
We hope no one will forget the dance that was given at Leighton in the afternoon.
As a warning to the classes to follow: If this sacred ceremony should ever be omitted on April first all the Hobo ghosts of '18 will rise up and smite the evildoers. May we rest in peace.

ITII the opening of the 1917-18 school year came the football season of '17. Practice was started about the middle of September with Coach Cooke at the m helm. Besides the new material, Coach Cooke had Hamm, Cormack, Wanasek, Miller, Slaight, White, and lliff, all seasoned veterans. The new men added to the squad were LeRoux, Deck, Cain, Burnell, and Mosier. After three weeks of Strenuous training the coach decided the fellows were ready to go after the bacon. On the fifth of October the Green and White journeyed to Warner to meet the Warner Aggies in a practice game, but alas fickle fortune favored Warner and the team returned to the tune of a 19 to 0 defeat. Due to his effective work in holding down the Warner score, Deck won a permanent place on the team. On Friday of the next week the C. H. S. defenders clashed with the Nowata eleven on the local field. The boys had at last hit their stride and emerged from the game with the long end of a 13 to 0 score. "Chubby" carried the ball over for both touchdowns. A week later the Green and White met the Okmulgee Warriors on the local park. At the end of the first half the score stood 0 to 0 in favor of Muskogee. During the third and fourth quarters our men pulled some strategy that took their opponents off their feet. The whole Okmulgee team was completely baffled by our shifts, and it didn't take long for the Green and White clan to roll up a score which gave them a victory, 14 to 0. "Chubby" again held a monopoly on scoring, making both touchdowns. The team next defeated the Bacone Indians in a fast game; the score being 20 to 0. With three victories to their credit Cooke's heroics proceeded to Henryetta for the purpose of reeking their vengeance on the Henryetta team. Another notch was cut in OUT belt. This time it was accomplished by a 30 to 0 score. The victory was due to the brilliant work of the lineman. In this game Mosier went behind the line and downed his man three successive times. The ends, Wansek and Deck, also played a great game. In addition to the splendid work of the lineman, the backfield played like a bunch of demons. Miller and Burnell circled the ends for gains while Slaight plowed through the line as if it didn't exist. The classic of the football season, however, was the game with the Fort Smith team.. The game was to decide the final possession of the P'ort Srrvith cup. Heavily out-weighed Muskogee played one of the greatest games ever witnessed here. The game was one grand tug of war. First Fort Smith would threaten Muskogee's goal and then Muskogee would threaten Fort Smith's goal. In the first half one of the Fort Smith players intercepted a forward pass and scored. The game went on in Fort Smith's favor until the last few minutes of play when Sammy Burnell grabbed a pass and carried it over for the tying score. The final score was 7 to 7. The game at Okemah resulted in another victory for the Green and White standard bearers. This time 13 to 6. Our next game was with the Bartlesville team. In this game C. H. S.'s chances were smashed by a 19 to 12 defeat. The defeat was due to the excellent work of the Bartlesville team. This was the first time Muskogee's goal had been crossed by an Oklahoma high school team. The Thanksgiving game closed the season of '17. The Tulsa team out-lucked us and won 14 to 13. The features of the game was the spectacular playing of "Chubby" Miller for Muskogee and the work of Hopping for Tulsa. Miller made both of our scores by long end runs. The Turkey Day game closed the season with a record of five games won, three lost and one tied. The season as a whole was a success, although we failed to win the championship. The team was one of the lightest that has ever represented Muskogee on the gridiron and in every game played we were out-weighed. The old Muskogee Spirit was always present however, and kept us from losing more games than we did. Dow Hamm, our center, was placed on the All-Oklahoma team and it is the opinion of many that "Chubby" Miller and "Ducky" Deck should have been placed on this team.

/^T ENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL this year has put on the field the best baseball team I the school has ever seen. Coach Cooke whipped into shape in little more than a \*r week's time a team that has been defeated only once; a team that won the State Championship at the annual tournament at Norman, Oklahoma, in a walk away. Of last year's team, we have with us Captain Cotton, short stop; Spanlding, outfield; Deck, pitcher; LeRoux, second; Garrett, pitcher; and Hamm, first. Our new players this year are, Hardin, out field; Henderson, catcher; and FeaJ-s, third; all of whom have strong records behind them. The team met its first and only defeat at Fort Smith on April 12 by a score of 6-3. Since then the team has trounced all comers. The next day a double-header was played at the same place. The Green and White emerged from both with the victory of 5-3 in the first game and 6-4 in the second. Garrett allowed but two hits in the first game. The fourth scheduled game was played at Warner against the Warner Aggies. The game was a farce on the part of our opponents as they put up a very poor game of ball. However, it was a good practice game for our team and it fattened all the players' batting averages. The score was 8-1. Not an error was made by the Green and White. On April 26 and 27, the team played four games at Norman in the annual tourna ment. The first game, played against Shawnee, ended in our victory to the tune of 13-6. The second game, against Calvin, was a shut-out for the Green and White. During the game, our team rolled up a score of 10 against the opponent's 0. In a more closely contested game with Guthrie, the home team emerged victorious to the tune of 9-8. The last game of the tournament was a cinch from the very beginning for our team. After the first inning, C. H. S.'s players knocked the ball at random over the field while the Lindsay team could not get but three runs. The final count was 23-3.

N spite of the fact that Basketball practice did not start until January 7th, when it should have begun December 1st, the season was one grand succeess. With J Captain LeRoux, Hamm, and Bower—all of whom played on last year's team— and Cotton, Burnell, and Mosier, all strong players, representing the school, the team played such a game as has never been equalled by any of the former teams. The first game of the season was played against Council Hill on the home court. It was more of a practice game than anything else for our boys as they then had prac ticed as a team only about four days. However, an excellent game was played and the final whistle blew with the Green and White in possession of the large end of the .'!.'! to 23 score. Hamm's work featured. The next two games were played at Atoka. Due to our lack of practice, the Atoka team won both games by a score of 31 to 30 and 25 to 6. On Friday of the next week the C. H. S. defenders met the Tulsa team on the local court. A fast game ensued in which the Tulsa five demonstrated its superior knowledge of strategical plays, as a consequence of which a victory of 37 to 13 was annexed. Wood was easily the star of the game. The game against the Dwight Indians on January 29th ended in another victory for the Green and White. The victory was due to the inferiority on the side of the Indians rather than superiority of our men. The Indians left with the small end of the 69 to 15 score. The next game was played against the Okmulgee team on the Okmulgee court. The Okmulgeeites put up a stiff fight in spite of which the C. H. S. scrappers returned victorious to the tune of 21 to 8. Captain LeRoux won stellar honors by his effective dodging and goal-throwing. In both of the games against Fort Smith on the home court the local boys "brought home the bacon." The game on Friday night was marked with brilliant playing on both sitles, and ended with the 28 to 18 score in our favor; but in the game on Saturday night, the Fort Smith team fell back making the victory easier than in the first game. The score was 34 to 22. On February 16th the C. H. S. quintet journeyed to Tulsa. In spite of Hamm's sensational playing, the Tulsa team emerged from the game victorious. The score was 31 to 19. The game on the next Friday was played against the Okmulgee team who came here with high hopes of retaliation for the game lost to the Green and White earlier in the Mason. But those fond hopes were not realized, due partly on account of the poor guarding of the visitors, but mostly to the superior team work exhibited by the local team. The hardest fought game of the season was played against the Oklahoma City team on the home grounds. From the very outset, Oklahoma City held the upper hand which was maintained throughout the entire game. As a result of constant use of strategy on the part of the visitors, the local team suffered to the tune of 23 to 66. On March 9th the Green and White played an all-star team organized by and under the direction of the Deshon Sporting Goods Company of Tulsa. The game—a real test of the strength of the C. H. S. team—showed that our team was a match for a more experienced team. Although the victory went to the all-star team by a score of 47 to 39, the All-Stars earned every point made and our loyal defenders are to be commended for their excellent work, both in scoring and in holding down the opponent's score. The final game of the season was played at home against the Shawnee High School Five. The Shawnee team put up a game fight but it lacked the team work that the local team showed and consequently was defeated by a score of 41 to 24. With a standing of 8 games won and 5 games lost, the season goes on record as one in which all rules of the game were observed to the letter; and one in which the istudent body turned out on every occasion with its whole-hearted support.

^*THE Boys' Glee Club, which was organized in 1911, has always been an important ill factor in Central High School. Under the skillful direction of Miss Minnie Starr, ^m* the club has completed a very successful year. The membership of the club, which consisted of only ten boys at the beginning of the school year, has in creased to twenty-two good voices. The Faculty, during the year was represented by Messrs. Ryder, Thorne, Weller, and Williams. The club made its debut January 18th in the "P'irst Annual Concert," a well-attended and very successful affair. Two weeks later, its second appearance was made in Wagoner under the auspices of the Red Cross Society of that city, fifty dollars for the Red Cross being the result of that affair.

Editors: Lola Harris and John Pearson, Business Manager, Bernard Breeding. Assistants: Beulah Hosmer, George Seibold, Juanda Rhein, Cortright English, and Hubert Hauser. Besides continuing the Employment Bureau and the Fife and Drum Corps this year, the club arranged a series of lectures to be given by the business men of Muskogee. It also arranged a Booth at the Oklahoma State Fair. Touch Typewriting was demon strated by Dorothy Huffman, Lola Harris, Clarence Selby, Tom Sterne, and Hazel Cory. The results of the Annual Contests are given below: In Bookkeeping Phelma Snyder won first, and Charles Harper second. Mr. Bender, Assistant Cashier of the First National Bank, judged the books. In Quick Figuring Roland Erdwurm won first, Granville Tierney second, and Gilbert Duncan third.

N order to further the interest in Science, particularly in Physics and Chemistry, several Juniors and Seniors met at the beginning of the school year and organ J ized the Central High School Science Club, securing Mr. Williams as their faculty adviser. All of the members have had at least one year's work in one of the two branches, a fact which increases the interest in the work and has aided the club in its development. The greater part of the members of the club are specializing in Science and intend to continue this course in college. Several trips have been made by the club to various industrial plants of the city where the practical application of Science has been demonstrated to the members.

^*THE Forum Debating Society is as old as debating in Central High School. When ill the need of debating became apparent, the Forum was established. Since then ^sV she has at all times been a loyal supporter of all activities for the betterment of her school. 1918 has added another chapter to the glorious history of one of C. H. S.'s livest organizations. During the year Forum members have played an im portant part in all school activities and forms of "student life." They have held important offices in both the Junior and Senior Classes. Finally, the Forum with no humble dignity begs to state that the six Triangular debaters who represented C. H. S. interscholastic debates during '18 were all Forumites in high standing. The Forum has set a high standard for boys' debating societies and is a creditable asset of Central High School.

Boys' Triangular Debate

N April 5th the Tenth Annual Boys' Triangular Debate was held in the Auditor ium and in Oklahoma City. (B The Debate was, RESOLVED, That the United States Should Permanently Retain the Philippine Islands. The Affirmative team was represented by Lawrence Wanasek, Luther Reid, and Ralph Barney. The Negative team was represented by Ellis Garrett, Thedore Keller, and Freeman Burford. The Affirmative team won a unanimous decision from the Tulsa Negative team. The result at Oklahoma City was different, it was a 2 to 1 decision in favor of the Oklahoma City team. This is the second time Muskogee has lost a debate since the Triangular was started. Next year with Wanasek, Reid, Barney, and Keller back, the Oklahoma City and Tulsa teams might as well quit.

(N Friday evening, April 19th, the Annual Girls' Triangular Debate was held with Oklahoma City and Tulsa. The question debated was, "RESOLVED, That Con w gress should pass a bill providing for the compulsory arbitration of all railway labor disputes." The Affirmative team composed of Cecelia Conway, Catherine Patterson, and Ruth DuBois met the Oklahoma City Negative team here. The Negative team composed of Sarah Shepard, Elizabeth Wagner, and Lilie Reisburg, met the Tulsa Affirmative team at Tulsa. Both decisions were against our girls 2 to 1. The work of both teams was hampered by the sudden departure of Mr. W. A. Ham- man, instructor in Public Speaking in Central High School. The work of preparing the girls then fell on Mr. Jones, Mr. Fordice, and Miss Barton. It is nothing short of miraculous that the debaters were able to argue the question from any standpoint with a preparation of but one week. However, that is the stuff Central High students are made of and we are all proud of them.

FOUR MINUTE SPEECH GIVEN BY HAROLD FISHER IN BEHALF OF THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN.
S the time goes on and the date has passed when we have been one year at war it is a commendable fact that the spirit of the people at home is in harmony A with their government. The American people are upholding the government as they have never done in the past. We owe this debt to our country. Co operation is the smallest measure in which we man repay our debt for our safety at home and our respect abroad. For our country's protection of our interests and command from the world of the respect and dignity due to the citizens of our great republic. On our nation we are dependent for our unified people, our limitless resources, our extensive commerce, our educational advantages and our institutions. Our Government was founded and built upon the principles whose benefits we have enjoyed since our national existence—social equality, freedom and justice. Now we are engaged in a struggle to set before the world as well as maintain for ourselves these benefits of Democracy. The nation to whom we owe our privileges, and our very existence is in distress. She needs our support otherwise than in words, she needs our money. Those of us who cannot repay our debt by offering our lives to the cause may do an inestimable service by lending money to continue the war—by buying Liberty Bonds, Savings Stamps, and Red Cross Certificates; also by aiding in the conservation of food; by raising all we can and by wasting- as little as possible. It is needless to expound the necessity of food or money in carrying on the war or by telling where to buy Bonds or how to conserve food, you know that as well as I do, but I do wish to impress upon you the necessity of financial support instead :of support in words only, for without money our cause cannot succeed. Our service to our country will not end in a mere matter of dollars and cents; it is the cheerful sacrifice, the liberal support which will create in the hearts of the American people a spirit of cooperation which will render us invincible to any nation or coalition of nations. It is the morale of an army which makes an invincible legion of raw recruits, or unmakes the efficiency of years of training to the seasoned veteran. The morale of the army is always identical with that of the people at home; the morale of the American people determines the morale of its armies, either stimulates them to superhuman bravery or discourages and demoralizes them before a weaker foe. What sort of a morale our people shall have is entirely up to you and me to determine. This good spirit must continue, however, if we would win the war, and it will continue. The spirit of '76 is not dead, it has only lain dormant, and at the outbreak of our present crisis, has risen forth as indomitable as ever, the spirit of 1918. An appeal to the patriotism of our citizens is not needed, only a reminder of the duty of financial support which must always accompany this spirit is necessary. When we shall have done our duty, in all these things, to the full extent of our abil ities, when the present war is over, and the last mortal remains of the Hohenzollern out fit shall have been forever consigned to oblivion, and their ashes mingled with those of their abused and disgraced ancestors, the earth, which their remains pollute, the world and its progressive trend, enjoying the rights of liberty, equality, and justice, which it has so dearly earned, will point out to the succeeding generations the debt of their posterity to the American people for their liberality and financial support of the cause, as one of America's instrumental contributions to the struggle in which the world was saved from tyranny and oppression.

STYLE IS IMPORTANT So Is Saving
You want style in your clothes, of course, but if you're a through and through young American, you want something else besides. You want clothes that save the things your older brothers and friends need over there in the trenches of France.
We're saying a good deal about this because it's one way of do- ••"Tiifl tng our bit. The more young « men we can help to be wool sav ers, the more we indirectly help the cause.
Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes save, and they give you the live, spirited mili tary style touches you want.

S. 19 1 THE FOUR YEAR'S BATTLE OF THE ARMY OF '18 When the barrage of the charge of the Class of '14 cleared away, the fourth line trenches were discovered filled with the Class of '18, one hundred and fifty strong. With Wayne Cameron as commanding officer and Foster Robinson to give the signals we arrayed our battle line for the first great clash—the Boys' Triangular Debate. During the remainder of that year our sector was free from attack and we were not called into action. The fall of '15 found us strongly fortified in the third line trench. The attacks on other fronts demanded skillful generalship and Commandant Hannum ordered that we be left "on our own." Anna O'Shea, Catherine Patterson, and John Gibson were detailed for "Scout" duty. October, 1916, saw us advance to the second line trench with Buffinton Burtis as Captain, and Lon McDonald, Curtis Leekley, and Ruth Swanson as his aides. Under the direction of Lola Harris, Noble Daugherty, and Floyd Craft our illus trious forces were entertained by a Hallowe'en frolic at the Severs Hotel, and in the Spring a second frolic at the same place. To furnish interesting entertainment for our fellow fighters, we sent Wayne Cameron, Stockton Porter, Dow Hamm, Harold LeRoux. Ellis Garrett, Berry Cotton, John Gibson, and Dwight Schaub into contest on the diamond, the gridiron, the court, and the track. Our "Smjleage" work was directed by Ruth Dubois, with Catherine Patterson and John Gibson as able assistants, which cul minated in the presentation of "She Stoops to Conquor," after strenuous preparation under Miss Mary Craig, the troop-mother. Those detailed for "Scout duty" in this campaign were Catherine Patterson, John Gibson, Anna Payne, Anna O'Shea, Lolo Harris, and Curtis Leekley. In preparation for our "Spring drive" to go "over the top," we arrayed for battle in the front line trenches in September, 1917. Berry Cotton was chosen to general our forces with Chandler Nelson, Ruth Swanson, and Grace Harper as his lieutenants. Catherine Patterson was Chairman of the Recreation Committee with Ruth Dubois, Anna O'Shea, Wayne Cameron, and Buffinton Burtis as her subordinates. Our "smile- age work" this year was put in charge of Curtis Leekley. Feeling that those who follow should keep in mind our famous regiment, we chose Corinne Baker with Katherine Gibson and John Gibson to select a fitting monument to our glory. In order that our forces might be readily distinguished, Lilian Keaton, Wirt Hooker, and Ruth Acree were chosen to select the ensign of the illustrious company of '18. Our "Scouts" in 1918 were Anna Payne, John Gibson, Reba Moore, John Pearson, Corinne Baker, Curtis Leekley, and Frances Shields. The regimental publication was put in charge of Tom Sterne with Ruth Swanson, Anna O'Shea, Buffinton Burtis, Adabe! Jackson, Ruth Acree, Ruth Dubois, Kenneth Reid, John Pearson, and Oscar Stoutz as assistants. The Recreation Committee gave us a Hallowe'en mask dance at Leighton Hall and B jolly Hobo-day on April 1st. The Smileage Committee has arranged to entertain us on May 28th with "All on Account of Polly," in which Catherine Patterson will play the title role. Miss Juanita Fink, our troop-mother for this year, has given her un tiring efforts that this production may be a decided success and we are looking forward to it with great expectation. In the athletic contests Harold LeRoux, Dow Hamm, Ellis Garrett, Berry Cotton, John Gibson, Harlow Leekley, Dwight Schaub, Jack Mosier, Hugh Dickson, Allen Moorer, and Chandler Nelson won honors for our forces. In contests of mind Ellis Garrett, Ruth DuBois, Catherine Patterson, and Lilie Reisburg upheld our standard. And now as we climb from these trenches of school "over the top" into the battle of life it is justly fitting that we pay a final tribute to those of our ranks who have actually gone into the battle lines. The Service Flag of one hundred and eleven stars which C. H. S. has unfurled and dedicated to those who have pledged their lives to liberty is a living symbol of our devotion to their pledge. From the ranks of '18 have gone Leonard Saxon, John Harris, Meredith Hickey, Ledyard Walton, and George Francis. All honor and glory to the army of 18, REBA MOORE. ED. HELD.

(With plenty of apologies to Lincoln) Fourscore and seven years ago, a little dried-up shrimp of a bachelor brought forth upon this continent, a new weapon, conceived in tyranny, and dedicated to the proposition that no men are created the equal of women. Now we are engaged in a great nuptial war, testing whether the rolling pin, or any other weapon so conceived and so dedicated, can long be used as a means of securing matrimonial harmony. We have come to consecrate our forces (urged on by all the blissful memories of happy bachelor-hood days), into one Union of wretched, deceived, jaded, woe-be-gone, poor excuses of husbands, in order that the tyranny of the housewife may no longer be felt in the once-happy homes of America. But in a larger sense, we cannot consecrate, we cannot unite, we cannot strengthen our forces. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but we can never forget what our wives will do to us when we get borne. It is rather for us to hunt up the jail-bird that invented that instrument of Hell (the rolling pin), and take off his pants and give the little devil the licking of his life. It is for us, the married, to thus blaze the trail to nuptial freedom, that others, partaking of the same draught of Unhappiness, from the same cup of Eternal Discord (Dang that preacher), may not come to realize the same sense of pain caused by the descent of that factor in bread-making. It is for us to take an increased interest in the affairs of the household, that we may keep an eye on all suspicious-looking articles of war-fare, and we do here highly resolve: That Matrimony shall have a new birth of Freedom, and that Government of Husbands, by the Husbands, and for the Husbands, shall not perish from this earth.

AIN C. H . V ^N Class Prophecy New York City, June 39, 1940. MR. HAROLD T. LeROUX, Anywhere in France. Dear Old Speck: You can't know how happy it makes me feel to know that you and Hamm have enlisted in the service of your country as homb throwers, especially since the war has been over for twenty years and there is no danger of "going West." I thought since I knew your address so definitely that it would be a good chance for me to tell you some news about the Class of '18. Over here in New York City you know I keep in touch with everybody. I'll begin with the most important (myself of course). I know it seems queer for me to be so egotistical, for you remember how bashful and unassuming I was in old C. H. S. Well I am the leading man and manager of the most popular Broadway skit. Peggy Patterson is my leading lady. Of course you heard that she and Tom tied the matrimonial knot. You know Tom and John Gibson were superintending the issuing of H. S. periodicals throughout the U. S. It did not turn out to be a great suc cess, so Peg had to go into vaudeville, and a very charming actress she makes, too. A few days ago while in the midst of our act I noticed among the vast and seething multitude of spectators our own little Skeeter Bloom. Guess what she is doing. She is with the Washington Square Players taking the part of Portia, Ophelia, Cornelia, and Rosalind, on account of her dignified air and portliness. Truly the Class of '18 was a class of marvelous geniuses. Among the most illus trious members is John Quincy Adams, who has been nominated by the Free Speech Party for President of the United States. He has already named Gerald Wren and Juanda Rhein as his joint Secretaries of the Treasury on account of the marvelous efficiency they displayed in managing the W. S. S. campaign in C. H. S. in 1918. Speak ing of political parties, had you heard that Nora Wing is leader of the National Anti- Suffrage Society? I know you'll think this letter is surely theatrical and political, but I just must tell you about Ed and Corinne. Edward Carlisle Held is heralded as a second Caruso. Corinne is at the present making a great skit with her new comic opera, "Come Home Early, Very Early, Ed." I must close now as it is time for my act. Yours, ever admired, WAYNE CAMERON.

Baldwin Beverly falls desperately in love with her. The crash Beverly has been expecting arrives and he returns from the city facing financial failure. At this juncture Polly comes to the rescue and with sublime faithful ness places her legacy, which represents every penny she has in the world, into the hands of her guardian to help him stem the tide.

H. 9 1 8 Q)hen the Furniture Industry Q)as Youngs 'fj/lN THE EARLY DAYS of America, some excellent furniture, patterned wk^ a^er English and French models, was made. This is the furniture you 1*N I often hear of being handed down from Grandmother's time. But with the rapid growth of our country, almost any kind of furniture sold for a time. The main idea seemed to be "how much" and not "how good." This was due to untrained men going into the furniture industry, who were ignorant of the first principles of correct furniture design. American Furniture is Now Produced Better Than Any Other Cheaply made and cheaply priced furniture is expensive experimenting. Quality furniture pays big returns in pride and satisfaction and the saving due to long service. We know our furniture. We give you the best at the price. No matter what your furniture needs may be, you will eliminate all risk of a bad buy if you will let us serve you. SMi .mmmmmmt Furniture .. Carpets ..
