 BOOST FUR JOAN

Boy Scout Liberty bond week will start Monday in Phoenix and through out this district. according to an nouncement from headquarters yes- terday. The announcement says:
 While it was not contemplated that the Boy Scouts would delay the en- try of any subscriptions through pledges obtained from intending sub scribers prior to April 27th-their function in the third campaign in the way of actual solicitation of sub scriptions being theoretically that of "gleaners after the reapers"-we are sure that any subscriptions held up to favor Boy Scouts have not serious ly interfered with the main cam paign. We believe the Boy Scout campaign will be of great value as cleanup and will have the effect of keeping alive interest in the third loan after quotas have been reached by the various communities, which we confidently hope will have been the case by the end of the presev week.

CHAPTER xvnI-contlnued.

While they T talking, an old Jew
named key Cohenstein comes along,
and Abe engages him for cashier. After
engaging key they meet an old
Southern negro called Sambo, and
upon the suggestion of key he is en-
gagged as porter. Then the three Of
them, arm in arm, leave to take p.s-
session of this wonderful palace which
Abe has just paid $4,000 for. (Cur-
tain.)
In the second act the curtain rises
on the interior Of the Diamond Palace
saloon, and the audience gets its first
shock. The saloon looks like a pig
pen, two tramps lying drunk on the
floor, and the bartender in a dirty
shirt with bis sleeves rolled up. asleep
with his head on the bar.
Enter Abe, Sambo and key, and the
fun commences.
One of the characters in the second
act was named Broadway Kate, and I
had an awful Job to break In one Of
the TommSas to act and talk like q
woman.
Another character was Alkali Ike, an
Arizona cowboy, who just before the
close Of the play comes into the saloon
and wrecks it with his revolver.
We had eleven three-hour rehearsals
before I thought it advisable to pre-
sent the sketch to the public.
The whole brigade was crazy to
witness the first performance. This
performance was scheduled for Friday
hight and everyone was full Of antici-
patton; when bangl orders came
through that the brigade would move at
two that afternoon. Cursing and
binding vas the order Of things upon
the receipt Of this order, but we
moved.
That night we reached the little VII
lage Of s. and again went into rest
billets. We were to be there two
weeks. Our company Immediately got
busy and secured the village for q
suitable place In which to present our
production. Then we received another
shock.
A rival company was already estab-
aished in the village. They called
themselves 1.-THE Bow Bells" and
put on 2 sketch entitled, "Blighty-
What Hopes" They were the divi-
sional concert party.
We hoped they all would be soon
In Blighty to give us a chance.
This company charged an admission
Of a franc per head, and that night
our company went en- masse to see
their performance. It really was good.
I had a sinking sensation when !
thought of running my sketch in op.
position to it.
In n of their scenes they had q
soubrette called Flossie. The soldier
that took this part was clever and
made a Incorporating and chic girl
We Immediately fell in love with her
until two days after, while we were
on a march, we passed Flossie with
"her" sleeves rolled up and the sweat
pouring from 'her" face unloading
shells from q motor lorry.
AS our section passed her I yelled
out: "Hello, Flossie; Blighty-What
HopesT Her reply made our love die
out instantly.
"Ah, go to hip
This brought quite a laugh from thu
marching column directed at me, and
Instantly made up my mind that oul
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1918-07-04

sketch should Immediately run IN OPP
position to "Blighty-What Hopes"
When we returned to Jul billet from
the march, Curley Wallace, my the
atrical partner, came running over to
me and said he had found a swanky
place in which to produce u show.
After taking of my equipment, and
followed by the rest of the section, I
went over to the building he had picked
out. It was a monstrous barn with q
platform at one end which would make
an ideal stage. The section got right
on the job; and before night had that
place rugged out in apple-pie order.
The next day was Sunday and after
church parade we put all our time on
q dress rehearsal, and it went fine.
I made four or five large signs an
nouncing that our company would open
up that evening at the King George the
Fifth theater, on the corner of Ammo
street and Sandbag terrace. General
admission was one-half franc. First
ten rows in orchestra one franc, and
boxes two francs. By this time our
printed programs had returned from
London, and I further announced that
on the night Of the first performance
a program would be given free Of
charge to men holding tickets costing a
franc or over.
We had an orchestra Of seven men
and sever different instruments. This
orchestra was excellent, while they
were not playing.
The performance was scheduled to
start at 6 p. m.
At rs there was a mob in front of
our one entrance and 1t looked like q
big night. We had two boxes each ac-
commodating four people, and these
we Immediately sold out. Then q
brilliant idea came to Ikey Cohenstein.
Why not use the rafters overhead, call
them boxes, and charge two francs for
a seat on them? The only difficulty
was how were the men to reach these
boxes, but to key this was a mere de-
tail.
He got long ropes and tied one end
around each rafter and then tied a lot
Of knots in the ropes. These ropes
would take the place of stairways.
We figured out that the rafters
would seat about forty men and sold
that number Of tickets accordingly.
When the ticketholders for the boxes
got a glimpse Of the rafters and were
informed that they had to use the rope
stairway. there was n howl Of indirna.
ton, but we had their money and told
them that If they did not like it they
could write to the management later
and their money would be refunded :
but under these conditions they would
not be allowed to witness the perform
ance that night.
After a little grousing they accepted
the situation with the promise that II
the show was rotten they certainly
would let us know about it during the
performance.
Everything went lovely and it was q
bowling success, until Alkali Ike up.
peared on the scene with his revolver
loaded with blank cartridges. Behind
the bar on a shelf was a long line OF
bottles. Alkali Ike was supposed to
start on the left Of this line and break
six Of the bottles by firing at them with
his revolver. Behind these bottles 9

to represent the back Of the bar, al

An Industrial Draft.

The senate has passed without debate
resolution authorizing the president
to call into immediate service skilled
workers in manufactures or agricul-
ture who are within the age limits Of
the military draft, but who, in the lat.
est classifioations, have been placed so
lar down on the list because OF their
occupation that theyssre not likely to
be included in the coming draft. II
called, under the proposed authorim-
tion, they will be assigned 10 indus
trial service in the lines in which they
are expert.
Explanation is offered that il is not
to be confused with the proposed con-
scription Of labor, as Il affects only
such men as are liable to military
service, and that limitation is to be
recognized But it Is a stepping stone
which will make further CONSUMPTION Of
workers easier and more acceptable II

development Of the war, Obviously il
