Many Children Made Happy BY Clean
Up Day Prizes

Up Ddy fTiLcb
The prizes offered by the Monday
Club, The FortnightIy Club and the
Pennington Commercial Club, for the
cleanest yard, were awarded as fol-
lows:
First Ward-Theodor Murphy
Second Milton Simms
Third Ward-Della Sutherland
Fourth Ward-Carl, Ruth and Paul
Denman.
The prizes offered to the colored
children was won by Ebert Baker.
All the children contesting for these
prizes did very good work and the
Committee visiting the yards had
much praise for each one entering the
contest. 1t was n pleasure to see the
happiness on the faces Of the little
folks when they received their re-
wards.
The three Clubs interested in a
warding these prizes wish to convey
their thanks to all who entered the
contest because they feel that those
who did not win prizes also helped in
good way in Identifying our city.
While these prizes were small, yet,
children took a great interest in them
and it is felt that each one Of the
children winning n prize put 1t to a
good use. The only information our
informant had concerning the use
made of these prizes was relative to
the prize won by Theodore Murphy.
Theodore is the little fellow who lives
in the East part of town near the end
of Columbia Street. He undertook to
clean yard in the Third Ward and
then secured another on Saturday
morning in the First Ward. 1t was
for the yard in the First Ward that he
won his prize. Immediately upon the
receipt of his dollar when asked what
he intended to do with it, Theodore
said he was going to buy a suit of
clothes so he could go to Sunday
School. 1t did not take him long to
get to tbe Cole & Nixon Mere. Co.,
where a sale is being conducted, pay
his dollar, and have suit of clothes
laid aside for him until next Saturday.
A slight investigation of Thecdore's
life will find him to be an unusual
child living under very adverse cir
cumstances. He is enthusiastic about
his school work and has made an ex-
cellent record through the whole year.
Pennington would do well to recog-
nize more fully the value Of this
young life.

The Times editor is not willing to
vouch for the spelling of many names
that are sent to this office. Fact Of
the matter is, as stranger in the
community one is considerably hand
icapped both in the selection of news
matter, and knowing the things that
touch the life Of this community most.
However, just as rapidly as we can
do so we are acquainting ourselves
with the local community, names, etc,
and are doing our best under the cir
cumstances to meet the needs Of the
situation.

sions of interest in the success Of the
Times would help there would be no
dearth Of funds or help at this office.
Unfortunately kind words and express

and interest of our many friends is
truly most highly appreciated, but
allow us to suggest that along side of
this that a continued effort be made
to place business with the Times.

the play. On the contrary, the I'M
limited field of the camera would
greatly enhance the Illusion. In the
Richard Carrie production that has
been referred TO, there was a point
in the last act OF the play where the
heroine ran from the house into the
garden The hero pursued her, and
she led him q merry chase through
berry, until she was finally caught.
1t would be impossible to produce
such a scene on the stage. In order
to keep up the illusion, as soon as
the heroine ran from the room the
stage was darkened, a screen drop
ped and the picture commenced.
In the picture Hattie Williams was
seen to come out of a house with
Richard earle in pursuit, the picture
followed her through the garden,
in and out Of the trees, there being
about 1000 feet of film used in the
chase. The pair are finally seated
on a marble bench in the garden, and
just then the lights are turned on
the stage. and in the very place
they were supposed to be in the pic
ture Miss Williams and Mr.. Carrie
appeared in Efe-the scene having
been changed while, the showing of
the picture was in progress to an
exact duplicate of the last, scene
shown on the screen
1t is not unreasonable to suppose
that this sort of thing can be done
in number of plays and that II

tween-the-acts period utilized for

yard and the pump belonged
to Tommy Tabby. He WAS sur
prised, and little frightened, too,
FOR the kitty boy had such a naughty
twinkle in his eyes and smiled at
the Fluffy Downs almost TOO pleas
antly. Rover recalled with shudder
that kitties sometimes ate little
chickies in the real world. and he
had to look twice at Tom to be sure
there was nothing but kindness in
his smile.
But Tommy was really delighted,
and wouldn't have hurt a pin
