The School Plays
(Contributed)
The two one act plays, “The
Old Maid’s Club" and “The
Booster Club of Blackville” giv-
en by the High School, were a
success financially and were
greatly enjoyed by all present.
Ted Fleming aa Charles Aug-
ustus Hotfoot, shewed his ability
at impersonation, while William
Cloyd acted the part of James
Jaekson Muchmouth ae no other
could have acted it. The other
characters, Opal Elwell, Oren
Crooks, Joe Fanning, George
Rush, James Dale, Alvin Dudley,
Oscar Wellman and Roy Morey
cannot be without mention, for
they acted their parts equally as
well. Mr. A. A. Makoske coach-
ed “The Booster Club.
In “The Old Maids’ Club’’
Parlee Bouse could not be e-
quailed as president, and every-
body could rightfully envy Don-
ovan Dale as the lone man and
the pet of the club.
Ted Fleming played the part
ot Mr. Philip Ai.drew James,
newspaper reporter, very well.
Mary Morey as Vice President
could not be excelled. Ruth
Thomas caused a roar of laughter
by her p, em and dance. Joseph-
ine Enlow played the part of an
old maid sister and was applaud-
ed for her song “And Then 1
Hoped On. The other charact-
ers were Lela Stansbury, Coral
Allen, Wilma Vanfleet, Sylvia
Green, Alice Seals, Alma Wilson.
Edna Vanfleet, Mildred Fielder,
Mary Enlow, and Amy Harris,
who played their parts well.
Miss Alice Adams coached this
play.
Recent Discovery Marks New and Im-
portant Chapter in the History
of Dietetics.
Bv a newlv discovered process of
liquefaction rice can now be con-
verted into milk. In asserting that
tins discovery marks a new chapter
in the history of dietetics, and opens
up an enlarged field of consumption
for this grain, scientists explain that
the transformation of natural ele-
ments into a milk has been carried
on through the water roots of the
rice plant, “upon the same principle
as that by which the milk is drawn
from Mother Nature through the
veins of the cow into the udder.”
According to \V. M. Queen, a con-
tributor to the Rice Journal, the
sun’s heat performs the work direct-
ly and in a most perfect manner, re-
quiring more time than the cow to
complete the process of making its
milk. The result is the rice kernel,
which is nothing more than a con-
centrated, etrystalized milk—which
in turn may, by a natural process,
he turned into the flowing liquid
form.
FOREST WASTE MADE USEFUL
Fallen Timber Can Be Employed to
Advantage in the Manufacture
of Grape Stakes.
Many persons at one time or an-
other have been struck with the waste
of material that is permitted in
American forests as compared with
the care of Europeans, as a rule, to
make use of every last twig that falls.
Worth noting, therefore, is the news
item from the Pacific coast which
shows that fallen timber in some of
the forests out that way is to be
used extensively in the manufacture
of grape stakes for California vine-
vards.
One order for those slakes will re-
|tiire, we are told, 100 freight cars
for its transportation, but the best
thing about it is that it will reclaim
cedar trunks that have been on the
ground for yenrs. The difficulty
lbont such reclamation in general is
not so much in finding “down stuff”
that is sound enough to be useful as
it is in discovering a use that will
make recovery profitable.
May Town Paragraphs

Motto Today —Let the Other
Sucker Bite.
J. J. and A. A. Makoske are
enjoying the company of their
brother from California very
much, as one can see by stand-
ing across the street from the
Drug Store. Doing so you may
easily tell who is making all the
changes in said location
Miss Nora Palmer was seen
toting a dozen pound* of soap
across the avenue Tuesday.
Billy Cloyd entertained the
high school girls with a melody
Tuesday afternoon. The song
Was entitled ‘Blue Air.
Mrs. Browne and little daugh-
ters were seen viewing the early
sun on Main Street the other
morning.
While reading the Wichita pap-
er Monday Daddy Remark said:
“Thi9 says President Harding
has fifty pairs of panta. Gol,
but 1 wish I was his younger
brother.’’
J. R. Wasaen was up from
Woodward last night to see his
brother, Lester, who, with his
family, has been down with flu
for the past couple of weeks.
RADIO POSSIBILITIES
“The probable effect of radio de-
velopment iipnn tie M-nrld is a sub
jeet, so far-reaching in its possibili-
ties that it is dazzling,” said 11
Oernsbaek, editor of Science and In-
vention. at a recent engineering con-
ference in New York. “The radio
industry is an infant that will grow
into gigantic importance in a very
-hurt time. Although it will prob-
ably never replace the telephone, it
will become a necessity. Even now.
with international communication in
a highly developed stage, it has
opened the door to a universal lan-
guage. It will ultimately break the
harriers of distinctive languages that
have long been detrimental to inter-
national intercourse.
NEW FIELD FOR BAD BOYS
The American had boy, brought to
fame by Thomas Bailey Aldrich,
Henry Augustus Miute, Booth Tar-
kington, and many others, has now
a new field for adventure and mis-
adventure. His voice is very loud
and very persistent in the air, wire-
less telephone owners say. lie vi-
brates and booms and gencralh
blocks transit for concerts and
speeches and many other serious
matters. Doubtless before long, “cops
of the air’ will be telling the young-
sters what they may do ami what
they may not, but until then, every
“n*al boy” has his day.
fun at winter carnival
Dog teams, ski jumping and snow-
shoe n lay races were features of tin
winter carnival held in Portland.
Me., recently, in which the Y. \Y
C. A. participated. The snow shoe
dash, the ski jumping and joring
races, and other contests, including
ice racing behind horses, were im-
mensely popular. Exhibition skat
ing and hockey games were also
featured. ...

Etiquette That Must Be Observed
When Calling on the “First Lady
of the Land."
Iii an article published in the De
lima lor on “White House Parties
Margaret W ade, dean of Waslungtui
society editors, tells what one mus
do if she wishes to call on the wifi
of thfe President of the United
states.
“Tile procedure for the average
visiter is to leave a card at 1 he hip
front door,” says this authority
“Every card is supposed to he duh
catalogued and ultimately acknowl
edged by an invitation to a garden
party, reception, musieale or tea. In-
vitations to dinner are decided b\
official reasons, in which the invita
tion seeks the guest.
“Following the leaving of tie
card or cards—one of her own ami
two of her husband’s, as he is sup
posed to be calling on the President
and President’s wife—the visiting
lady goes home and writes a note to
the social secretary, or, if the ac-
quaintance warrants it, to the Presi
dent’s wife, asking if she may have
the honor of calling in person.
“These written requests are rarely
denied, the custom of past adminis-
trations, as well as of today, being
to send an engraved card bearing the
seal of the United States and the
name of the President’s wife.”
KEPT REASONABLY BUSY
The Tenafly poon-bah is Ed Black-
well of the New Jersey town who
was recently appointed poormaster
and also keeper of the town pound.
When he isn’t taking care of the
poor or acting as host to stray dogs,
Ed is looking after some of his other
jobs—manager of a livery stable,
furniture mover, paving contractor,
head driver of the fire truck and
official fumigator and quarantine of-
ficer of the local board of health.—

PLACED Me.AN Ih'CA Ob JOE
Playful Friends Had Much Fun at the
Expense ot Bachelor Enterta.n-
ing Lady Friend.
Nearly everybody knows Joe
Stokes, the druggist. And nearly
everybody knows that Joe is a bach-
elor slightly beyond thirty-five. Joe
made the acquaintance of a comely-
young woman several evenings ago
and invited her to the theater. She
thought it unusual that as nice e
man as Joe was a bachelor.
“My friend tells me you are a
bachelor, but 1 don’t believe it,” the
voung woman said.
“Dli, Vo.- ! i : ;i I,,. !„r, - ij rv to
say,” Joe replied.
Jli r then several of Joe’s friends
arrived and tod- - in a box close
to where the • 1m m.I , friend

began to whim. i - u-mcously, east-
ing sly glances, at me pair.
“Saw Mr Stokes, you're a mar-
ried man,” the girl insisted. “The
way those gentlemen arc looking at
you and me confirms my belief.
You’re married.”
“No, I'm not—honestly. I'm not.”
And just then one of Joe’s playful
friends in the box looked down and
said :
“Where’s Airs. Stokes this eve-
ning. Joe?”
And Bachelor Joe hasn’t squared
