\ Stolen Glimpse ''

Last evening as I was strolling by the High School Building, I j was spell bound hy the melodi. ous sounds of music that reached my ears. Cautiously crept up to the window to learn what wonderful orchestra had come 1 into our city But to my sur prise and very great delight I found t to be our own Montieel To Orehestra un Ter the efficient leadership of Nr. PArry Hank ins. l listened intently while several numbers were rendered. And then light was thrown en the mystery when there came forward Monticello's most popn- lar teacher of expression and di rector of entertainments, Miss i Orlean Naloney, and knew that some delightful entertain iment was being prepared. But as l stood there listening and watching 1 felt sure that this was decidly the most varied and the most pleasing entertainment that our idol, Miss Maloney, had ever yet directed.
 Assisting Miss Maloney i'll teaching songs were the very competent instructors, Misses Maude Moore and Gladys Mum. Each member on the program was unique, exciting always a pleasurable surprise
 Among the actors were Quak- CTS, Dutch and some fat, greasy faced negroes, all in their funny costumes, and of course there were numbers of Americans.
 Glancinig about the room, 1 caught sight of sign over door which read, Side Show , My curiosity excited further, l slipped through back door into the Building It was with the greatest difficulty that sup pressed hearty laugh when l had discovered that all these weird and grotesque exhibitions were under the supreme man. agement of our dainty an l lovely Miss Sadie Spencer. Exhibited each Tn a separate compartment were the Snake Gharmer, the Wild Man from Bprneo, the Siamese Twins, the Two Headed Woman, and other freaks of na- trre, and there was the myster- ious Oracle where troubled souls may seek advice. In one room the Egyptian Fortune Teller was reading fortunes by the lines III the palms of the hand. Miss Leila Goodwin found this for tune teller on one of her tours recently The last thing I heard was Mrs. Harris Mum asking if ten gallons of ice-cream would be enough. Seeing that some members were preparing to de- part, 1 fled Ill haste, lest be detected.
 Later telephoned to head quarters for further information about this wonderful entertain ment. l learned that these de- lightful entertainers were prac- ticlng for the Big Festival which is to take place at the High School Aug. 23, at p. Ill.
 The charges for the entertain ment are p cts for adults and b cts for children, with 10 cts extra for the side show, 10 cts to have your fortune told, and 10 cts for ice-cream. The funds will go toward the support of Monticello Orphan whom the Junior Missionary Society of the Methodist Church of this city is endeavoring to clothe. The faith ful young members of this socie- ty are working untiringly to support the child, and they will appreciate a large audience at this most enjoyable entertain ment.

avoid the abandonment through consti-

throne TO name these state counscllors.
No sign developed. however OF the
manner in which this partial conces-

Allied and neutral ship construction
now is overcoming previous losses due
TO the submarine campaign.
Never again will they catch us
says +. y. Hurley. chairman of the

be overcoming the early losses they
inflicted on US"
Final figures received in his office
on allied and neutral losses COR Au

exceeded this by l,GS3 tons. showing d
total of ?6i.0Ss tons. In addition to
this great toltal there is ali the CON

plus over losses and to set against
tho earlier losses " the war.

the shipping BOARD estimates that the
