For some weeks the ladies of the
Congregational church have been
preparing for a parcel post sale.'
Arrangements have been perfected
and the sale will be held May % at
the Congregational church in con-
nection with the regular monthly
meeting of the Missionary Society.
Postal cards we're sent to friends ask

for ten cents. Most of the parcels re-
ceived are beyond this in value. Each
parcel will be wrapped and marked
with the price and placed on sale in
a specially prepared booth. The
committee are confident any pur-

package purchased. The ladies hav-

VAUGHAN WRITES ABOUT
BOYS In CINCINNATI.
Gives Some Interesting Experiences
Concerning Their Various
Duties

The letters from J. G.. Vaughan, a
Morris boy now located at the Uni
versity of Cincinnati, have been read
with interest and are proving an in
teresting feature from week to week.
The following letter tells many of
the interesting experiences the boys
are going thru in their new work:
Down on the Ohio"
1--WE were sadly disappointed when
Saturday came as there had been an
auto ride thru the city and suburbs.
The Cincinnati Auto Club had ar
ranged to come up with 100 cars
and take our bunch out at o'clock,
but at the appointed hour the rain
was pouring in torrents so nothing
bidding as the tour was postponed
until May rs. However, we are all
looking eagerly forward to the day
as the trip will be most enjoyable
thru the beautiful suburbs.
about Friday inklings began to
be heard of a second incubation so
we were all converting ourselves to
the Christian Science ideas for such
occasions. About 9:45 p. m. the
bunch were feeling extra skittish and
there was scarcely a man who wasn't
singing or indulging in some means
of showering exuberant spirits, to
offset the benign speculations of the
Kaiser's next biff at us on the NOR
row.
"The bunch lined up about nine
o'clock Saturday before noon and
soon was going thru the mill at about
SO every 20 minutes. This time the
incubation smote the right arm
while the first one and the vaccina-
ton were inflicted upon the left.
Some fellows had hardly recovered
from the throes of the first and rest
assured they now have a difficult
time getting out of the denim jump
pers which slip down over our heads
like sweaters but of course don't
have any stretching ability. AS
nearly as can be ascertained our
fellows from home stand the gruell-
ing in true Spartan style.

afternoon and inquired as to the

Theologians and other learned men
who have viewed the giant fish say it
unquestionably must have been A
creature of this species that swallowed
the Prophet Jonah related in the
Scriptures and no discovery within
the past century has created such a
profound sensation in the scientific
and geological world.
AS a matter of fact. no other spe-
cies of fish ever known to science
could possibly have accomplished the
feat Doubling Thomases and skep-
tics have always proclaimed that no
fish big enough to swallow Jonah ever
existed, but Captain Thompson's cap
ture throws an entirely different light
on the matter.
Within only a few days after the
news of the capture was flashed over
the wires of the country and the de-
tails of the capture appeared in the
newspapers. Captain Thompson began
to receive letters and requests for sci
entific data from all parts or the
country. Letters by the score were
received from newspapers and maya

tory. to say nothing of an offer or
$4,000 from a we'll known capitalist
who wanted to buy the fish for exhi-

In this connection Captain Thomp-

American Plays for
i. S. Soldiers in Paris

Messrs. Cohan and Harris have
under consideration peace celebration
movement for presenting in Paris some
of the new and popular Broadway plays
to our detained soldiers. The idea was
submitted by Grant Mitchell, star of
"a Tailor-Made Man." who reflected
that it would be months, perhaps years,
before our army of two million men
abroad could be returned, and that
meantime they would deserve and de-
mand American amusements. Mr..
Mitchell's idea is to have a popular
play, cast with Broadway players, in
readiness for Paris production as soon
as sailing arrangements can be made.
Other plays and players are to follow,
so that as long as American soldiers
remain in France a "Paris company"
will be as usual as a Chicago or a
Coast company of a Broadway success.
To get the project started Mr.
Mitchell offers his services and flnan-
cial aid for the Paris presentation of
"a Tailor-Made Man" If Messrs. Co.
han and Harris approve, Anthony Paul
Kelly, author of "Three Faces East"
now at the Cohan e. Harris Theatre
purposes to do the same with his play.
