secured for benefit of our local fire de-
partment, personally offers to supply the
''fire laddie'' disposing of the greatest

will hustle to get this useful reward of
merit, is sure thing. Manager Myers has
an eye to business. He will find ''our
boys" capable of making a good race for
the hat.
Speaking of the performance, which, by
the way, is set down for Tuesday, Feb. 23,

forward to for a treat. They will bring
with them all their beautiful scenery
which includes the illuminated prison.
