VOL. XX NO. 26 Marion Talley in Hershey Sunday Hershey Park Theatre to Open Monday With Metro politan Vodvil The Hershey Park Theatre will open on Monday, May 31st, (Decoration Day) with matinee and evening performance, featur-ing 4 acts of metropolitan vodvil and the best in movies. The Marcus booking agency, of New York City, the largest independent booking agency in America, which books acts for 54 metropolitan theatres, totaling 200 acts a week, is booking the acts for the Park Theatre. The vodvil will consist of one single, two double and one big feature act. In addition to the vodvil feature films will be shown. The vodvil and the pictures will be changed every Monday and Thursday. The prices of admission will be the same as last summer, as follows: General admis-sion, adults, 30c; children, 20c; reserved seats, 50c. The performance, begins at 7.45 o'clock. The program for Monday is as follows: Alfredo & Jeanette in "Novelty Par Excellence." Bob George in "Nature's Laff." Hal & Hazel Langton in a comedy skit, "Marketing." Arth Sisters & Co. in "Dancing Some." Metro-Goldwyn feature film "Mike." There is an unusually strong cast in "Mike." The roster of well-known names includes Charlie Murray, Ford Sterling, William Haines, Muriel Francis Dana, Junior Coghlan, Frankie Darro, Ned Sparks and Sam DeGrasse. The title role is played by an utter newcomer to the screen, Sally O'Neill, who is a recent "dis-covery" by Neilan. It is said that in this, her first picture, Miss O'Neill proves to be a real find. "Mike" is a return by Neilan to the form of photoplay in which he excels. His quick wit, his delightful comedy sense and his ability to devise and work out naturally many extremely laughable situations is given full play in this picture. The director wrote the story himself. But in injecting a running fire of comedy into the picture Neilan has not neglected to build up the excitement and dramatic power of the en-grossing plot, which deals with the life a desert railroad section boss and his family who live in a quaintly appointed box car. John Barr ymore in "The Sea Beast" at the Park Theatre Friday and Sat. "The Sea Beast" which will be shown at the Hershey Park Theatre on Friday and Saturday evenings, May 28th and 29th, at 7.45 o'clock, justifies in every way all the giowing heaps of golden adjectives that have been piled up about this supreme effort of the Warner Brothers. John Barrymore is the star, but even w '.ih Barrymore, the one actor who brings to the screen the feel of that indefinable quality called genius, the drama of "The Sea Beast" is the thing. For 'The Sea Beast," in its suggestive power, in its overtones of surging life, is more than a photoplay ; it is an epic of the heroic lives of the American whalers when, in thejr swift clipper ships, they carried thejr whale hunts through the seven seas. It is a picture of rich, colorful beauty; of heart-searing pathos; of poetry that sings in action of courageous deeds; of emotions as vioient and eternal as the terrific storms that sweep through the picture. The sea dominates, and, even Barry-more, superb actor that he is, is less, as any human would be less, than the epic that flashes tumultously across the screen; the epic of the American sailors of 1840. Nevertheless, the picture gives Barry-more the opportunity for the biggest and most impressive characterization that he has given to the screen. As the New England harpooner on the hunt for the great white whale, Moby Dick, he is so breathlessly fine that he makes even his own stirring performances in such pictures as "Beau Brummel" and "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" fade from memory. The beauty of the scenes in Java , the magic way in which the atmosphere of the East has been captured ,the never-equalled thrill of the surging storms at sea, the anguished suspense of the battle with the whale, are some of the things that stand out most vividly. But it is in the massing of detail that "The Sea Beast" achieves its total effect. Such things as the titles, by Rupert Hughes, the photography, by Byron Hawkins, the scenario, by Besa Meredyth , are exceptionally fine; and , dominating all , the magnificent direction of Millard Webb. The cast is long and perfectly chosen, the outstanding performances, in addition to Barrymore 'a, being those of Dolores Cos-tello and Georjie O'Hara. Hersh ey Park Dancelan d Is A Popular Place That there iv O diminution In the craze for (lancing among young folk has liccn evidenced (luring the past week at "Dance-land ," the attractive dunce pavilion at Hershey Park , where tlie popular dance orchestras provide music Wednesday and Saturday evenings for the enjoyment of the modern disciples of Terpsichore. Though "Danceland" has lieen opened only a week the pavilion has drawn hun-dreds of dancers—in fact (luring the May Hop feet and elbow room was at a premium. The floor of the pavilion Is one of the lx:Ht to l)e found anywhere and the building Is constructed so that it can be opened on all sides to permit cool breezes to sweep through it , or closed tightly to protect the dancers in the event of a Midden storm., In addition there is a balcony and ample aide lines where spectators may watch the dancers "do their stuff." On Saturday evening, May 29th, the attraction will be the Mannlx Orchestra , of Hnrrlaburg. On Monday (Decoration Day) May 31st. afternoon and evening, the attraction will be the C. Lloyd Major Orchestra , On Wednesday evening, June 2d, the at-traction will be the "Bum" Crawford 's Orchestra . THE BARES RETURN TO HERSHEY Mr. and Mrs. Clarke Bare, formerly of Chicago, have returned to Hershey. Mr, Dare will have charge of the sales-record department of the Hershey Chocolate Company office, Indications Point to a Capacity House to Hear American Singer Marion Talley, the 19-year-old Ameri-can Nightingale, will give a concert in the Hershey Park Convention Hall on Sunday afternoon, May 30th, at 2.30 o'clock. Miss Talley comes direct from Pittsburgh , where she gives a concert in Carnegie Hall on Friday evening, arriving in Harrisburg on Saturday morning, stopping at the Penn-Harris. The public interest in Miss Talley's singing has not been equalled since the last tour of the late Enrico Caruso. Hundreds of cities have endeavored to secure concerts by Miss Talley, and the music lovers of Central Pennsylvania are indeed fortunate in having the privilege of hearing one of the first concerts to be given by the sensational new singer. Miss Talley possesses a voice of extra-ordinary beauty, a flawless artistry, and an evidently intuitive musical insight and understanding, that conjoined with a personality -that is the embodiment of graciousness, sincerity and modesty, make an indefinable appeal to her auditors, and holds them by that peculiar odvc or mes-meric; power that emanates from genius and virtue. William W. Britton, the noted music critic, having heard Miss Talley in one of her recent concerts, states: "The writer has heard during his life, which musically is not confined within a few years, many of the greatest singers from Patti to Talley, in the operas of which these arias are a part, and he does not hesitate to assert that he has never heard them given in opera or concert, with the unapproachable and transcendent beauty and artistry of per-formance, of Marion Talley, last night. "This is a broad statement, but a true one. The writer has heard other singers at more advanced periods in their lives, as far as years may be regarded, but it must not be forgotten in weighing the critical worth of this statement that while our gifted American artist is relatively young in years, she has been musically active since her early childhood. She proves that she has had judicious and intelligent in-struction and training and as a result, therefore, this educational development covers the greater part of her life, she has already while'still in her girlhood, attained an artistic maturity not ordinarily until far later in life. "Everything she sang last night proved the truth of the declaration of Gatti- Cassazza (and it is doubtful if there be a more competent judge) that she is a singer. a rara avis indeed, who sings true to pitch." Her vocal artistry is apparently complete in everything that contributes to the make-up of those preeminent singers who have featured the history of vocal art, Pasta, Malibran, Patti, with whom it is not presumptuous to include our own gifted Talley." The advance sale of tickets for Miss Talley 's concert at Hershey Park indicates that the large convention hall will be. taxed to its capacity, and when Miss Talley steps on the stage to sing for us "Caro Nome" from Rigoletto, in which she made her debut, and some of her other operatic arias, and to sing, as only an American woman can sing such favorites as "Home, Sweet Home", "Annie Laurie" and "Ave Maria ", we will feel proud that we are her compatriots. High School Pupils to Present Class Play Tuesday Evening "Penrod", which will Ik: given by the pupils of the Hershey High School in the school auditorium on Tuesday evening, June 1, at 8 p. m„ Is adapted from Booth Tarldnqton 's story of the same name.

It wai decided to hold the next meeting In Herthay Park. . ——— ,. .,, .., .,., Nex' We noticed to-day ' As we waddled our way Through the crowds on the city's wide walks What a difference in necks Could be seen on the specks Of humanity dotting the sidewalks. The flapper in brown Living right there jn town Had a neck simply built for necking— You could tell by the bent In the neck of that gent He had suffered a lot of hen pecking. From under the brim Of this old lady grim All the hair of her neck just bristled— And beside her young Jack With his neck streaked with black Was shuffling along as he whistled. Some necks were rough, And some others were tough, And a few were the kind you'd die for, Or with heart that was glad You would stake all you had Without asking wherefor or why for. But, as necks go. We have found it is so Between Highspire and Campbellstottel, There is never a neck Can compare—no, by heck— With the neck of a well filled bottle. That Foolish Feeling After you have been out to a late hour doing your bit in the parade celebrating your man's victory at the polls, after you have spent most of the following day ex-plaining just how and why your man was elected, after you have rubbed it into the other fellow a bit and joshingly twitted him about losing his vote, how does it feel to get news that late returns put your man in second place? Perhaps some kind-hearted reader will write in next week and tell us, We need your help. Not So Much "What damage did my dogs do to your garden when they had that friendly little fight, anyway?" inquired one neighbor of the other, heatedly. "Scarcely any, scarcely any," said the second neighbor to the other in an apologe-tic tone of voice. ""In fact they only broke off such plants as got through the ground before your . chickens could gobble the seeds." What would people of fifty years ago say if they could wake up into this busy bust-ling state of affairs which we call, for want of a better day Rip Van Winkle had been watching the playing of nine pins in the Kitten skill mountains in 1876 and had awakened in time to spruce up a bit for the Sesqui-Centennial, how he would have rubbed his eyes at the strange world into which he had awakened. Well might he have thought himself transported to some other planet. Had he chanced to pick up a copy of a paper recounting the recent polar flights in which one of the explorers kept the world informed of his progress by radio, he wouid have classed this news with the Arabian Nights. The idea, he would have thought, men flying in the air like birds and talking thousands of miles through the air. And yet, we people of Everytown, un-concernedly skipped the great drama which was told in our newspapers, of deeds so wonderful that Old Rip would have classed them with the "Arabian Nights." We unfolded our favorite newspaper and with perhaps a glance at the headlines dis-missed Arctic expeditions from our fagged brains and turned to see what the people were doing in the funnies. So it is that people of every age are blind to the great changes going on about them and ignorant of the fact that history is being made around them day by day. Many people over twenty know more about happenings in 1812 than they know about happenings in 1912. In 2012 people will look back and say, look what was done a hundred years ago, the while they are blind to the "goings on" that will be history for their descendants. It won't be long now till families will week-end at the North Pole instead of the sea shore. Sunday excursionists to the Pole will bring home with them a week's supply of ice for the refrigerator. That Sinking: Sensation After you have been enjoying a few rides on the scooter at the park , and you glance at your ticket to see how much you owe and then count your cash on hand and discover your liabilities are greater than your assets, oh—that sinking sensation. The Modern Pied Piper You have all read in your school days of how the Pied Piper of I Iamlin lured the rats after him and drowned them in the river, haven 't you. The modern pied piper is the saxophone would-be artist who drives all the rats, mice, bed bugs and what not out of town by his ululating echoes. Many a bachelor does not understand the real reason why the average benedict wants him to marry. The bachelor figures his married friend is tipping him off to a good thing, whereas the married nlhn 's in-vitation to join the ranks of the blessed Is a whole lot like the invitation the first-of-the-season diver Into the icy waters of the old swimmin ' hole flings hack at his hesitant pals on the bank: "C-c-com-in-m-monin! The w-w-w-atersfmel" A Ditty for Any "Succeaa" Magazine After all It 's the man with the grin And thrust out chin That 's hound to win And co]) all the tin. We Wouldn't Be Surprised If a lot of us fellows who paid four or five or six dollars a bushel for seed potatoes this spring have hard sledding to get our money back out of our tuber crops this summer and fall. Back to Nature The greatest Joy extracted from a trip to the North Pole Is the freedom from tele-phone calls. The swimming |>ool lost out in the popu-larity contest Sunday. "Say," queried the Man with the Wooden I-eg. "If my sister fell Into n well , could I help her out?" "Certainly. If you used your head," said the Man with t lie Cedar Chest. "But how could I lie a brother to her and at the same time a sister?" asked the Man with the Wooden Leg. Why Is a printing press like the for-bidden fruit? Because from it springs the knowledge of good and evil. (Continued on Pago 2) ...ft.!.-.... i^^^^ .^^w^-^^ .^.^,^.

The first grade children led the procession , headed by Harry Barr Suavely, carrying a larRe American (Iiik. followed by succes-sive grades, ending with the Senior class and the High School faculty. As the pupils, 1200 in number , and two abreast , passed by the offices of the Her-shey Chocolate Co., a visitor , ii|x>n seeing this wonderful parade, was led to explain : "You don 't meat) to tell me that you have all these children in Hershey I" Upon being answered in the affirmative he again exclaimed "Well, there isn 't any race suicide In Hershey, that 's sure!" In the Park the pupils played games, engaged In folk dances, and gave an ex-hibition of calisthenics. Through the courtesy of the Park man-agement, every pupil of the primary grades was given a free ride on the Merry-Co- Round. Chocolate bars were also dis-tributed to the children.

Hershey Minstrels to Present Musical Jamboree On Thursday evening, May 20th, the Hershey Minstrels partook of a chicken and waffle dinner at the Hershey Cafe. Elmer Erb, of Harrisburg, was the speaker of the evening. Elmer, in his original Erbesque manner, told of the days when he was a minstrel, acting as counsel for J. R. Snavely, who was accused of stealing Mr. Murrie's Goat. .. Elmer, how-ever, had his mind on the result of the primaries, and he soon forgot all about Mr. Murrie's Goat, and he, in his most florid manner, imparted to his hearers all of the whys and the wherefores of the political situation . So wrought up was Elmer that it was quite unable to determine whether or not he was urging one to vote for Beidle-man, Fisher, Pepper or Pinchot. But the election is over—and it makes little no never mind. J. F. Snavely and Paul Ruf were the other speakers who confined their re-marks to the plan they had in mind of pre-senting a musical event par excellence, whicli will take place right after the regular Park season. This musical feast is to be in five parts. The first part will consist of an English setting, consisting of English songs of that period. The second part will depict our Pilgrim Fathers, with songs of that period. The third part will depict the Colonial era , with songs of that period. The fourth part will depict the days of the Civil War, with songs of that period. The fift h part will depict the present, with the jazz and sentimental songs of the day. Mr. Ruf has already chosen all of the songs, and rehearsals are underway. This will be a musical trea t indeed , and , no doubt will make such a decided hit that other engagements will be the result. The Hershey Minstrels consisted of the following: Edward Shea, Henry Schaeffer, Clinton Hotter , Carl Smith, George Zim-merman, William Barry, Jay Stahl, Nor-man Stable, liarl Stable, John Snavely, John Leese, William J. Miller. Alex Ma- ?rini , Horace Storm , John Arnold , Al. lice, J(x: Schmidt, William Shaub, John Richards, Andrew Henry, George Warner , Lawrence Edwards, Glenn Keiffer , Paul Ruf and Walter Priestley.

Marion Talley in Hershey Sunday
Hershey Park Theatre
to Open Monday With
Metro politan Vodvil
The Hershey Park Theatre will open on
Monday, May 31st, (Decoration Day) with
matinee and evening performance, featur-ing
4 acts of metropolitan vodvil and the
best in movies.
The Marcus booking agency, of New
York City, the largest independent booking
agency in America, which books acts for 54
metropolitan theatres, totaling 200 acts a
week, is booking the acts for the Park
Theatre.
The vodvil will consist of one single,
two double and one big feature act. In
addition to the vodvil feature films will be
shown. The vodvil and the pictures will
be changed every Monday and Thursday.
The prices of admission will be the same
as last summer, as follows: General admis-sion,
adults, 30c; children, 20c; reserved
seats, 50c.
The performance, begins at 7.45 o'clock.
The program for Monday is as follows:
Alfredo & Jeanette in "Novelty Par
Excellence."
Bob George in "Nature's Laff."
Hal & Hazel Langton in a comedy skit,
"Marketing."
Arth Sisters & Co. in "Dancing Some."
Metro-Goldwyn feature film "Mike."
There is an unusually strong cast in
"Mike." The roster of well-known names
includes Charlie Murray, Ford Sterling,
William Haines, Muriel Francis Dana,
Junior Coghlan, Frankie Darro, Ned
Sparks and Sam DeGrasse. The title role
is played by an utter newcomer to the
screen, Sally O'Neill, who is a recent "dis-covery"
by Neilan. It is said that in this,
her first picture, Miss O'Neill proves to be
a real find.
"Mike" is a return by Neilan to the
form of photoplay in which he excels. His
quick wit, his delightful comedy sense and
his ability to devise and work out naturally
many extremely laughable situations is
given full play in this picture. The director
wrote the story himself. But in injecting
a running fire of comedy into the picture
Neilan has not neglected to build up the
excitement and dramatic power of the en-grossing
plot, which deals with the life a
desert railroad section boss and his family
who live in a quaintly appointed box car.
John Barr ymore in "The
Sea Beast" at the Park
Theatre Friday and Sat.
"The Sea Beast" which will be shown at
the Hershey Park Theatre on Friday and
Saturday evenings, May 28th and 29th, at
7.45 o'clock, justifies in every way all the
giowing heaps of golden adjectives that
have been piled up about this supreme
effort of the Warner Brothers.
John Barrymore is the star, but even
w '.ih Barrymore, the one actor who brings
to the screen the feel of that indefinable
quality called genius, the drama of "The
Sea Beast" is the thing. For 'The Sea
Beast," in its suggestive power, in its
overtones of surging life, is more than a
photoplay ; it is an epic of the heroic lives
of the American whalers when, in thejr
swift clipper ships, they carried thejr
whale hunts through the seven seas. It is
a picture of rich, colorful beauty; of heart-searing
pathos; of poetry that sings in
action of courageous deeds; of emotions as
vioient and eternal as the terrific storms
that sweep through the picture.
The sea dominates, and, even Barry-more,
superb actor that he is, is less, as any
human would be less, than the epic that
flashes tumultously across the screen; the
epic of the American sailors of 1840.
Nevertheless, the picture gives Barry-more
the opportunity for the biggest and
most impressive characterization that he
has given to the screen. As the New
England harpooner on the hunt for the
great white whale, Moby Dick, he is so
breathlessly fine that he makes even his
own stirring performances in such pictures
as "Beau Brummel" and "Dr. Jekyll and
Mr. Hyde" fade from memory.
The beauty of the scenes in Java , the
magic way in which the atmosphere of the
East has been captured ,the never-equalled
thrill of the surging storms at sea, the
anguished suspense of the battle with the
whale, are some of the things that stand
out most vividly.
But it is in the massing of detail that
"The Sea Beast" achieves its total effect.
Such things as the titles, by Rupert
Hughes, the photography, by Byron
Hawkins, the scenario, by Besa Meredyth ,
are exceptionally fine; and , dominating all ,
the magnificent direction of Millard Webb.
The cast is long and perfectly chosen, the
outstanding performances, in addition to
Barrymore 'a, being those of Dolores Cos-tello
and Georjie O'Hara.

Dancelan d Is A
Popular Place
That there iv O diminution In the craze
for (lancing among young folk has liccn
evidenced (luring the past week at "Dance-land
," the attractive dunce pavilion at
Hershey Park , where tlie popular dance
orchestras provide music Wednesday and
Saturday evenings for the enjoyment of
the modern disciples of Terpsichore.
Though "Danceland" has lieen opened
only a week the pavilion has drawn hun-dreds
of dancers—in fact (luring the May
Hop feet and elbow room was at a premium.
The floor of the pavilion Is one of the lx:Ht
to l)e found anywhere and the building Is
constructed so that it can be opened on all
sides to permit cool breezes to sweep
through it , or closed tightly to protect the
dancers in the event of a Midden storm., In
addition there is a balcony and ample aide
lines where spectators may watch the
dancers "do their stuff."

THE BARES RETURN TO HERSHEY
Mr. and Mrs. Clarke Bare, formerly of
Chicago, have returned to Hershey. Mr,
Dare will have charge of the sales-record
department of the Hershey Chocolate
Company office,
Indications Point to a Capacity
House to Hear American Singer
Marion Talley, the 19-year-old Ameri-can
Nightingale, will give a concert in the
Hershey Park Convention Hall on Sunday
afternoon, May 30th, at 2.30 o'clock.
Miss Talley comes direct from Pittsburgh ,
where she gives a concert in Carnegie Hall
on Friday evening, arriving in Harrisburg
on Saturday morning, stopping at the
Penn-Harris.
The public interest in Miss Talley's
singing has not been equalled since the last
tour of the late Enrico Caruso. Hundreds
of cities have endeavored to secure concerts
by Miss Talley, and the music lovers of
Central Pennsylvania are indeed fortunate
in having the privilege of hearing one of the
first concerts to be given by the sensational
new singer.
Miss Talley possesses a voice of extra-ordinary
beauty, a flawless artistry, and
an evidently intuitive musical insight and
understanding, that conjoined with a
personality -that is the embodiment of
graciousness, sincerity and modesty, make
an indefinable appeal to her auditors, and
holds them by that peculiar odvc or mes-meric;
power that emanates from genius
and virtue.
William W. Britton, the noted music
critic, having heard Miss Talley in one of
her recent concerts, states: "The writer has
heard during his life, which musically is
not confined within a few years, many of
the greatest singers from Patti to Talley, in
the operas of which these arias are a part,
and he does not hesitate to assert that he
has never heard them given in opera or
concert, with the unapproachable and
transcendent beauty and artistry of per-formance,
of Marion Talley, last night.
"This is a broad statement, but a true
one. The writer has heard other singers
at more advanced periods in their lives, as
far as years may be regarded, but it must
not be forgotten in weighing the critical
worth of this statement that while our
gifted American artist is relatively young
in years, she has been musically active
since her early childhood. She proves that
she has had judicious and intelligent in-struction
and training and as a result,
therefore, this educational development
covers the greater part of her life, she has
already while'still in her girlhood, attained
an artistic maturity not ordinarily until
far later in life.
"Everything she sang last night proved
the truth of the declaration of Gatti-
Cassazza (and it is doubtful if there be a
more competent judge) that she is a singer.
a rara avis indeed, who sings true to
pitch." Her vocal artistry is apparently
complete in everything that contributes to
the make-up of those preeminent singers
who have featured the history of vocal
art, Pasta, Malibran, Patti, with whom it is
not presumptuous to include our own gifted
Talley."
The advance sale of tickets for Miss
Talley 's concert at Hershey Park indicates
that the large convention hall will be. taxed
to its capacity, and when Miss Talley
steps on the stage to sing for us "Caro
Nome" from Rigoletto, in which she made
her debut, and some of her other operatic
arias, and to sing, as only an American
woman can sing such favorites as "Home,
Sweet Home", "Annie Laurie" and "Ave
Maria ", we will feel proud that we are her
compatriots.

. ——— ,. .,, .., .,.,
Nex'
We noticed to-day '
As we waddled our way
Through the crowds on the city's wide
walks
What a difference in necks
Could be seen on the specks
Of humanity dotting the sidewalks.
The flapper in brown
Living right there jn town
Had a neck simply built for necking—
You could tell by the bent
In the neck of that gent
He had suffered a lot of hen pecking.
From under the brim
Of this old lady grim
All the hair of her neck just bristled—
And beside her young Jack
With his neck streaked with black
Was shuffling along as he whistled.
Some necks were rough,
And some others were tough,
And a few were the kind you'd die for,
Or with heart that was glad
You would stake all you had
Without asking wherefor or why for.
But, as necks go.
We have found it is so
Between Highspire and Campbellstottel,
There is never a neck
Can compare—no, by heck—
With the neck of a well filled bottle.
That Foolish Feeling
After you have been out to a late hour
doing your bit in the parade celebrating
your man's victory at the polls, after you
have spent most of the following day ex-plaining
just how and why your man was
elected, after you have rubbed it into the
other fellow a bit and joshingly twitted
him about losing his vote, how does it feel
to get news that late returns put your man
in second place?
Perhaps some kind-hearted reader will
write in next week and tell us, We need
your help.
Not So Much
"What damage did my dogs do to your
garden when they had that friendly little
fight, anyway?" inquired one neighbor of
the other, heatedly.
"Scarcely any, scarcely any," said the
second neighbor to the other in an apologe-tic
tone of voice. ""In fact they only broke
off such plants as got through the ground
before your . chickens could gobble the
seeds."
What would people of fifty years ago say
if they could wake up into this busy bust-ling
state of affairs which we call, for want
of a better day Rip Van Winkle had been
watching the playing of nine pins in the
Kitten skill mountains in 1876 and had
awakened in time to spruce up a bit for the
Sesqui-Centennial, how he would have
rubbed his eyes at the strange world into
which he had awakened. Well might he
have thought himself transported to some
other planet.
Had he chanced to pick up a copy of a
paper recounting the recent polar flights in
which one of the explorers kept the world
informed of his progress by radio, he wouid
have classed this news with the Arabian
Nights. The idea, he would have thought,
men flying in the air like birds and talking
thousands of miles through the air.
And yet, we people of Everytown, un-concernedly
skipped the great drama which
was told in our newspapers, of deeds so
wonderful that Old Rip would have classed
them with the "Arabian Nights." We
unfolded our favorite newspaper and with
perhaps a glance at the headlines dis-missed
Arctic expeditions from our fagged
brains and turned to see what the people
were doing in the funnies.
So it is that people of every age are
blind to the great changes going on about
them and ignorant of the fact that history
is being made around them day by day.
Many people over twenty know more
about happenings in 1812 than they know
about happenings in 1912. In 2012 people
will look back and say, look what was done
a hundred years ago, the while they are
blind to the "goings on" that will be history
for their descendants.
It won't be long now till families will
week-end at the North Pole instead of the
sea shore. Sunday excursionists to the
Pole will bring home with them a week's
supply of ice for the refrigerator.
That Sinking: Sensation
After you have been enjoying a few
rides on the scooter at the park , and you
glance at your ticket to see how much you
owe and then count your cash on hand and
discover your liabilities are greater than
your assets, oh—that sinking sensation.
The Modern Pied Piper
You have all read in your school days of
how the Pied Piper of I Iamlin lured the
rats after him and drowned them in the
river, haven 't you.
The modern pied piper is the saxophone
would-be artist who drives all the rats,
mice, bed bugs and what not out of town by
his ululating echoes.
Many a bachelor does not understand
the real reason why the average benedict
wants him to marry. The bachelor figures
his married friend is tipping him off to a
good thing, whereas the married nlhn 's in-vitation
to join the ranks of the blessed Is a
whole lot like the invitation the first-of-the-season
diver Into the icy waters of the old
swimmin ' hole flings hack at his hesitant
pals on the bank:
"C-c-com-in-m-monin! The w-w-w-atersfmel"
A Ditty for Any "Succeaa" Magazine
After all
It 's the man with the grin
And thrust out chin
That 's hound to win
And co]) all the tin.
We Wouldn't Be Surprised
If a lot of us fellows who paid four or five
or six dollars a bushel for seed potatoes this
spring have hard sledding to get our money
back out of our tuber crops this summer
and fall.
Back to Nature
The greatest Joy extracted from a trip to
the North Pole Is the freedom from tele-phone
calls.
The swimming |>ool lost out in the popu-larity
contest Sunday.
"Say," queried the Man with the
Wooden I-eg. "If my sister fell Into n well ,
could I help her out?"
"Certainly. If you used your head,"
said the Man with t lie Cedar Chest.
"But how could I lie a brother to her and
at the same time a sister?" asked the Man
with the Wooden Leg.
Why Is a printing press like the for-bidden
fruit?
Because from it springs the knowledge of
good and evil.
