Softly crpng feathered gossip they hoped from twg

Whilst he watched them with attention. listening to their

He ignored the fact that Smhers died of having naught

Said the Lord, Twas rough on Smithers,
But the poor always with us,
And their prayers most annoying theyre nuisance

When I'm gazing my brides
None of their petitions heard is:
watch my darling dickies lest they toppe Ger and

Whilst the Lord was busy counting every hair Tommys
(Why he sought know the number heavenly records do
not state),
He told that certain creatures worsippers of Christ

Were despatchng anotheryea, for all that they

That I'll give my best attention
To the when I've counted all the hairs on every

When worms have all abandoned every trace of thatch

Then I'll all wrongs rghted then I'll conquer death

 During the course of the meeting lively discussion took place as to the best and most effective method of com batting fire. It was explained that the fire chief, Oscar Carlson) having been appointed by the council, is supreme in authority at fire, and that in fighting fire not only members of the fire com pany, but civilians ss well, are subject to his orders.

DRAMATIC CRITICISM

When another transforming COM
pany had had the nerve to play Mac
beth" in a little country town a good
many years ago, the editor of the lit
tie country paper gave the following
account of the performance:
THE DeSmith Montague All Star
Dramatic theater company played to
a fair sized house Friday night in the
hall over the postoffice The play was
that good old fashioned farce, Mac
BETH Reginald DeSmith is the star of
the company and Miss Millicent May
Montague the staress, and they done
their parts to the life. Miss Montague
acted out Mrs. Macbeth as few ac'
tresses have ever done 1t. She had a
great flow of language, and in the part
where she said: Give me the daggersH
she showed pure grit, and Mr.. Mac
beth handed them over forthwith and
faster
Miss Montague is also a fine vocal
singer, and she delighted the audience
by singing Little Annie Rooney at the
end of the great sleep-walking scene
where she walks in her sleep with
candle and a guilty conscience. This
was also we'll done. With the excep-
ton of one of the actors being new in
the business and having to read his
part from a book. the play passed off
we'll, and, everything considered, 1t
was a good show, each actor doing
their turn well and seeming to know
their business"

WHITTlER's ACTIVE BOARD OF
TRADE
TRADE

A REPRESENTATIVE body 'of more
u than $50 local business men and
"A ranchers, with an executive di-
rectorate who are a bunch of live
wires" and an advertising committee
without a duplicate in Southern Cali
formative prominent real estate men,
and every one a booster. They pursue
the same policy in advertising their city
that they do to their own business, and
withal are guarded and conscientious
in their expenditures. Every piece of
printed matter they put out is a
straightforward statement of facts
from cover to cover, interspersed with
and natural resource. Though rivals in
to talking to the stranger as to why he
should locate in Whittier Seldom have
/ worked among such a large body of
men whose one thought and effort are
to advance all the interests of the COM
munity.
While Whittier has much in natural
advantages, its 25 per cent increase in
population in the past two years is di-
rectly traceable to the efforts of it's
board of trade in letting the world
know what possibilities are in store
for the stranger who settles within the
city's confines.
The street fair held this season, rep
resenting the products of Whittier, was
such a decided success that it will be
made an annual affair, and the board
of trade is already making prepara-
tions for next seasons celebration.

NEeLEcTINe AN ESSENTIAL

A recent cabinet member tells of one
of the funniest experiences he ever had.
though at the time it failed to appeal
to him as an amusing incident.
During a certain campaign l had
been asked and agreed to make some
speeches. Ny time had been so closely
emploved before starting out that
had not had the opportunity to pre-
pare nv speech. l arrived at the
town at which l was to make my first
address, and, thinking that it would
be best to jot down a few elaborated
notes, I went to the stenographer at
nv hotel and asked her to take my
dictation. She suggested that she take
1t direct on the machine to save time.
That seemed to be as good a way as
any other, and so, half facing away
from her, 1 begun debating.
"She was an expert operator, and
the way she made that typewriter
hum was revelation to me. She went
right ahead without once asking me
to slow up; but when was in the mid
die of my peroration she burst into
tears and begun to sob Historically.
/ wondered a little why my political
eloquence had been so melting, and SC
asked her what was the matter When
she could control herself she replied:
"'Would you mind speaking that
all over again? II forgot to put any
raper into the machiner"

Home Telephone
Company

When a company enters into the
business life of any community and
makes certain promises to the public
and keeps them faithfully, and when,
instead of resting on such a record,
1t pushes ahead to greater things, 1t
surely deserves more than passing
mention. Such an institution is the
Whittier Home Telephone company.
They entered the field five years ago
and have grown from an exchange
of seventy-five subscribers to over one
thousand. This marvellous growth mas
been brought about by adequate serV-
ice at fair rates. That the growth
of this institution should be ooincs'
dent with the growth of our city IS
food for reflection. and the thoughtiui
man will consider that the plans for
extension made by this progressive
and clear-sighted company are indi-
cations that they have faith IN their
institution and in the future OF our
fair city.
