Comes to Stay" given last Tues
day evening at the Phelps thea
ter. under the auspices of the
Meade Red Gross chapter, you
missed something well worth
time and money. The play was
we'll selected and the characters
exceptionally well selected.
Kay Dalgarn as The Honor
able Sandy Verrall, spending
the allowance given him by his
uncle carried out his part in
professional style.
E. E. Innis as Alexander
Stoop Verrall, uncle of Sandy,
comes in for good share of
the credit for the success of the
play. His manner was charac-
teristic of the wealthy uncle
Chester Dalgarn as Montague
Jordan played well his part as
the unsuccessful suitor for the
hand of Dorothy.
Without Alex Wilson, as
Herbert, the Valet, the play
would have been incomplete.
In his slow, deliberate way, he
always had the right answer
for all questions put to him.
Kitty Ellis, as Lady Penny
broke, assisted materially in
giving advice on matrimonial
affairs, Notwithstanding that
such advice proved to be more
theory than practical.
Anna McMeel as Vera Law
renee, the actress, played well
her part, and succeeded in win
ming first the dislike, but later
the wealth of the rich uncle of
Sandy.
Grace MCGUIRE as Mrs. All
way, the nurse, could not have
been better had she been a pro-
fessional actress. Both her
manner and makeup fitted well
with her part.
Miss Alice Adams as Dorothy
the source of all the trouble
held the attention of the Audi
ence at each appearance, and
at the close won the affections
of Sandy who had only prom
ised to cherish" her.
The Specialties are also well
worthy of mention. Miss
Woods readings were excellent
and appreciated. To her is al
so due the credit for the direc-
ton which added to the talent
Meade is always ready to sup
ply, and made the entertain
ment success.
Miss Katharine Adams COM
pletely took the audience with
her speciality.
To Mr.. and Mrs. J. P. Kelley,
Miss Artie Osborne, and Louise
Osborne thanks are due for
music.
To the large audience which
insured the financial success Of
the undertaking, more than just
thanks" are due.
TO r A Harper thanks are
due for his generosity in paying
the director.

The Moll Bakery of Olathe has been
forbidden by the Food Administra-
tion to make any bakery products en-
cept bread and rolls. This is a per-
manent order. A temporary order
was made few weeks ago, pending

BRITISH AIRMEN
BOMB A BRIDGE
And Demoralize the Advancing Ger
man Forces

man Forces
Behind British Lines in France,
Sept. 15-(Correspondence of The
Associated Pressl-How two British
airmen broke up an impending Ger
man attack along the Somme was
told recently by Lieutenant L. Walm-
sley of the Royal Air Force.
"Two of our young airmen," he
said, Sighted a bridge over the
Somme which neither had ever seen
before III three months constant pa
trolling of this area.
at was evidently temporary af-
fair which the enemy had built dur
ing the night, and it was now being
used to pass across men and artillery
for counter-attack somewhere. 1t
might mean very serious develop
ments for the British troops who
were holding this particular section
of front rather lightly.
"All doubt on this score was
quickly settled, for a long gray line
could be seen leading from the north
across the bridge to the south bank
of the river, where mass of about
400 soldiers was gathered. Here in
deed was target worthy of notice
"The leading pilot dived almost YER
tically, released his two bombs and
watched them burst in the river,
missing the bridge.
"The second pilot now dived and
in five seconds the Gar3:zsssa.H:.ss saw his
second bomb strike the dead center
of the bridge and explode with great
force, completely destroying and
sinking the two middle pontoons. De-
tached from the moorings, the re-
mainder broke away and began to
float slowly down stream.
Realizing their plight, the Ger
mans who had already crossed be-
came quite demoralized. Many
plunged into the water, while others
tried to hide among the vegetation.
Nothing, however, could conceal them
from the deviish hail of lead which
now poured down from the air above
them. Round and round at height
of less than a hundred feet circled
two English airplanes, the piercing
staccato of their Vickers sounding
high over the. drone of the engines.
"For ten minutes the slaughter
went on, with very brief intervals and
then, with their last round fired, the
airmen turned home, having accom-
plished as much for their side as
an important trench raid in which
hundreds Of men might be engaged"

WRITES His FATHER

Going Some

Going Some
Charles r. Burt has received the
following letter from his son over
seas:
August Is, 1918
Ny dear father:
l have been to one sector of the
front for about two weeks. There
was plenty doing and lots of noise
up there. Our regiment did finely,
they say, ard that we got lot of
Germans. But they didn't get many
of US. There was time when we
had to do some hustling to get away
from bombs and large shells. l
have seen lots of sights so far. am
writing this letter in a pasture in a
very pretty part of France on my
way from one sector of the front to
another. 1T is a wonderful trip
which will last few days. All thru
the country the French are getting
in their wheat. Most of the farmers
do their farming by hand. A few OF
them use American farming nipple
ments. Some of the people who were
once driven out of their homes by the
"Huns," have gone back to find then
homes in ruins but they stay there
and make the best of it. The
"Yanks' are doing fine work anc
have got the Germans going some.
With love and best wishes from
your son,
Guy A. Burt,

GIVING

(By Mary Carolyn Davies)
Just money! That is all we're asked
to give.
He gave his life, Jim. He'd have
liked to live
For Betty-bless her shy young
heart-had only the week be-
fore he left, put on his ring.
How long her life will be for her,
how lonely
With nothing of him but remem-
boring!
She never finched, nor he, my son,
they gave;
She working still, and Jimmie in his
grave.
And now today we're asked again
to save,
And give, give, give the country
what we've sweat
And toiled to earn. It's hard for
all-and yet,
We safe, we calm, we fortunate, we
living,
] wonder, dare we, dare we call this
giving?

of Vernont)
