maidens swept rapidly and ruthlessly
away by the dreaded pneumonia COM
plication; pitiful cases of twenty-one
infants and little children under
school age dying practically of the
mal-nutrition that invariably comes
where milk is scarce and all food, ow-
ing to poor means of communication,
hard to procure; there were even at
the last crop of relapses and pneu-
monia cases arising from the patients
own over-confidence, but even these
could speedily be handled by the M
posing authority Of the Red Cross,
and on final analysis of the regis
tered cases, the village found it had
lost less than ten per cent Of its total
cases as against a deata-rate OF from
twenty-five to forty per cent in re-
moter communities to the west OF the
Rio Grande, where local conditions
were such that it was practically I'M
possible for any effective help to be
rendered at all.
The fact should be emphasized here
that this swift and merciful saving OF
life would not have been accomplish
ed-certainly not to the same degree
without the admirable support and
cooperation extended by the Tor
rance County Chapter, both In the
matter of providing drugs and neces-
saries, and also in the distribution OF

HIGH SCHOOL
opERETTA

On a date to be announced later
the high school girls, under direction
of Miss Ruby Connolly, will present
their operetta, entitled "The Japan
ese Girl" at the Pastime Theatre.
Considerable time and careful at
tention have been given to the prep
aration and we are sure it will be
highly enjoyable.
The proceeds will be used for the
payment of the piano which the high
school purchased last spring. We hope
everybody will attend. The girls will
be out selling tickets Immediately,
which will be thirty-five cents for
adults and twenty cents for children.
Below follow the synopsis of the
play, the program, and the contents
SYNOPSIS (ARGUMENT)
The idea of this operetta was sug-
gested by reading an account of a
picturesque custom prevalent in some
parts of Japan. When a near rela-
tive has to be absent from home for a
considerable period he often leaves
behind growing plant, young tree,
or singing bird, which is called by his
name and regarded as his substitute.
The greatest care is bestowed on
this object, as it is considered most
unlucky to the person whom it repre-
sents, should any harm befall it dur
ing his absence.
The first act opens by number of
Japanese girls visiting o Hanu San,
young Japenese beauty who is about
to celebrate her eighteenth birthday,
regarded in Japan as "the coming OF
age"
Some amusement is caused by
Chaya, her faithful servant, who ap-
pears to be over-burdened by work.
The story is told in the dialogue
and songs and contains many amusing
and interesting situations.
In the second act, two American
girls, who are touring in Japan with
their governess for education and
pleasure, are impelled by curiosity to
enter the garden, and while their gov
erness is sketching they slip away
from her.
The japanese girls returning resent
the intrusion of foreigner and
awake the governess, who has fallen
asleep at her easel, and pretend not
to understand her explanations. 0
Hanu San comes to her rescue and in
the end invites the American ladies
to remain as her guests and witness
the interesting and quaint ceremonies
which are about to commence. They
accept gratefully and win the hearts
of all.

To the railroad and loaded
On the train and went
To the mill and was sawed,
And from there to be inspected,
And then to the airplane factory.
And soon was flying
In France on the Allies front
Watching for Hun airplane
To come down there.
For the Huns are wondering
Where they come from so thick.
They lombard the Hun trenches.
They started out after the kaiser
But he heard them coming.
And when they got there
He was in dugout
Far beneath the ground, and

But they will some day, and
1t won't be long,
For the kaiser is coming
And the good work of
The Yanks will be done
Over there and the war is won.

was half minded to say. But devil

He rose and walked to the door.
With his hand on the knob, he turned.

Then he walked out, without wait
ing for an answer.
She heard the soft whir of the ele.

his arm, a suitcase in his hand. She
saw him lift finger to halt a pass

back at noon or at dinner time. She

CHAPTER XVII.
A Letter From Bill.

All through the long night she lay
awake, struggling with the incredible
fact that Bill had left her; trying TO
absolve herself from blame; flaring up
in anger ut his unyielding attitude,
even while she was sorely conscious
that she herself had been stubbornly
unyielding. II he had truly loved her,
she reiterated. he would never have
made ii an issue between them. But
that was like a man-to insist on his
own desires being made paramount !;
to blunder on headlong, no matter
what anita yonisms he aroused. And
he was completely in the wrong. she
reaSserted.
She recapitulated it all. Through
the winter he had consistently with
drawn into his shell. For her friends
and for most of her pleasures he had
at best exhibited \ " tolerance. And
he had ended by Nrasing both them
and her. and on top of that demanded
that she turn her back at twenty-four
hours notice. on Granville and all its
associations and follow him into will

full right to her resentment. As biz

eXpressman shouldered it into his
wagon and drove away.
A few minutes after that Bill came
in and took seat facing her.
What are you going to do, HaZelT"
he asked soberly.
Nothing" she curtly replied.
Are you going to sit down and fold
your hands and let our air castles come

continued gently. Seems to me that's
