Jane and Katherine are sent to their Aunt by parcel post, and let
loose an avalanche of fun.
At the Hotel Insomnia in Restwell, New Jersey, the children
perform shadowgraph stunts in the lobby of the hotel that
have terrifying results for a guest, Judge Al. K. Hall.
The Lee children play checkers on the hotel lobby floor with

They perform funny antics on the hotel fire-escape.
Jane places a horseshoe under her overalls at the spot where
she expects a spanking.
You will laugh when you see Jane and Katherine try to hide in
an airplane. You will be thrilled when you notice that
Katherine has accidently started the motor and the machine
shoots into the air. You will laugh again when you see the
dog fall on the lever that stops the machine's flight, and you
will be thrilled again when you observe that they are dash-
ing toward a building. But you will laugh when they climb
out safely and begin to do stunts on the roof.
You will smile, with the dog, at the happy ending.

Eastland, Texas, June 18.—
There's an Eastland county
gob now sailing the Atlantic
who is painfully ignorant of
the following facts:
That he soon may have an
income of $1,000,000 a year
in addition to his regular pay
check from the United States
government.
That he already has an in-
come of $45,000 a month, or
$500,000 a year, exclusive of
said pay check.
That in the near future his
income willl be eight times
that amount.
Or, to be more specific, that
he has a gusher on his forty-
five acre tract northeast of
Eastland and that the indica-
tions are he will have eight
more gushers, as the tract is
large enough to care for that
number of additional wells.
That gob is sailor Eli Per-
kins, on wh®se land Root, Hup
and Duff brought in the fam-
ous Perkins gusher. He sailed
before learning of the well,
and his father has decided
not to notify him until his re-
turn to America, which may
be several weeks.
The pipe line report from
Eastland county shows the
Perkins well is making 6,300
barrels daily.
Five.-count 'em—-fine har-
vest days; Sunday, Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs-
day—but we confess it looked
a little dubious Wednesday
night when that flurry came
up from the north and it com-
menced to blow. The ther-
mometer was ranging around
85 to 90 degrees, and went
down ten or fifteen degrees
very suddenly, and a few
drops of rain fell. It soon
cleared away, however, and
the harvest sun is shining
brightly again today.
Estimates differ as to the
yield, some thinking it to be
very good, while others are
pessimistic. It is agreed that
the heads are short for the
most part, but the stand is ex-
cellent—and the quality, it is
thought, will be as good as
that of any former year. An
average of twenty bushels
over the county is about as
high as anyone will venture.
A ride over the whewt belt
on Wednesday evening found
binders in every field, and in
some fields the workmen were
sitting down at their suppers
brought to them by the wo-
menfolk; being desirous of
putting in every minute pos-
sible. The binders were kept
going until the very last min-
ute of daylight.
It looks more and more
like a good run of perfect har-
vest weather with a tendency
to a little hotter weather each
day, the weather bureau says.
The entire wheat belt is shar-
ing in the made-to-order
weather the map shows and
hot weather is making itself
felt in the entire west and
middlewest.
Devereux Flayers
Much Appreciated
! The Devereux Players were!
! welcomed by a large and appre- j
| ciative audience at the Auditor- j
j ium Wednesday evening in their j
j presentation of "Romeo and
Juliet." Clifford Devereux played
the part of "Romeo" and his in- j
I terpretation was excellent.
I Zinita Graf was delightful in
the role of "Juliet" and held the
audience in intense attention in
several tragic parts. The scene
in the tomb of the Capulets was
especially well acted; Juliet lying
as dead, the duel, and the three
deaths being very realistic.
Mercutio, played by William
Podmore, was splendidly given
and when he fights the duel with
Tybalt in defense of his friend,
Romeo, it was so artistically
Born: A fine 10-pound boy was
born to Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Mon-
net on June 19, 1919 (this morn-
ing) at the Sunnyside hospital.
All parties doing nicely, and the
numerous friends of the proud
parents will extend many congrat
ulations upon the birth of their
firstborn. The mother was for-
merly Miss Vera Darrough, of
Hugo, Okla., and a popular Uni- ,1(>ne that it was with much ,.eK,ret
versity girl. « ; that Marcutio was killed. Mr. j
| Podmore also plays the part of
j the "Apothecary" and he showed
I much ability in the role.
| Agnes Elliott Scott, as Juliet's
j nurse, deserves much praise in the
| manner in which she portrayed
l her part.
j J The setting and the music were
all in perfect harmony and the
audience left fully repaid for the
evening spent.
This (Thursday) afternoon the
players are giving Goldsmith's
"She Stoops to Conquer." Those
who have seen Mr. Podmore in
the other plays are looking for-
ward to see him in the role of
! "Tony Lumpkin." Thursday night
| Shakesjeare's "Taming of the
Shrew" will be given.

Are you sore and making dates

you lately—yesterday ?
On an average, thirty letters a
week go unclaimed in the Nor-

that is causing all the trouble is
lying uji there, just waiting, and
anxiously, too, for someone to
come along, claim it, read its mes-

Twenty-eight are there this
week, and they will be sent to the

Strike in Oklahoma City
Seems to be More Favora-
ble for the Working Men
and Women—Bolshevism
Will Not lie Permitted.
Organized labor in Oklahoma
City Wednesday was united in
| prosecution of the telegrapher's
strike.
j Unions affiliated with the Cen-
tral Trades and Labor Council
j have pledged more than $500 a
i week to support idle wire work-
ers. Each union will assess indi-
vidual members a certain amount
to make up its contributions. On
$500 a week it was said the strike
could be continued indefinitely.
Plans were perfected at a meet-
ing of the trades council strike
committee with telegraphers on
Tuesday night. Picket and finan-
cial committees were appointed
Bolshevism will not be permit-
ted to enter the strike in any
form, L. I. Beedle, secretary of
the trades council said. Strikers
will abide by the law.
Pickets were watching telegraph
offices closely Wednesday fearing
strike breakers would be imported
from other states. Women pickets
joined men and messenger boys
already on duty.
Western Union versior of the
strike, given out by S. M. English,
general manager of the South-
western district, was declared
false
and misleading Wednesday
by P. L. Collins, business repre-
y°unc sentative of telegraphers.
