esT IRE Of the Footlights" or what
ever you choose 10 call 1t has
- completely possessed Ed. Jen-
kins, East Side. He was content to
run his little hotel and go along
through the balance Of his life quiet
ly, unseen and unheard by the throng.
But Billy Malone's call for local tai
emit, like a bugaboo, pursued the aged
veteran OF the road. "reminiscences
of the days when he used to travel in
a wagon from school house to church
and village hall, giving magic lantern
exhibitions, ancient forerunners of
moving pictures, were vivid in his
memory. He did some wonderful
tricks, and the little folks and the old
er one, too, he remembered how they
sat wide-eye and open mouthed as
he did his wonderful stunts, and the
more he thought, the stronger grew
the call, and that's why Ed jenkins
was at the amateurs last night. Tom
Brannon has another reason. He is a
horse doctor, and horses are few and
healthy. Brannon can't fix an auto, so
naturally the stage appealed to him.
With young Hayes, the company was
complete, just a little makeup and
there you have lively little sketch
with three artists, all TO the good.
| Hazel Morris sang What God Made
Mothers For" and concluded her num-
Der with duet, Walt and See sung
with Alma Bowers. The number was
good, and Billy Malone couldn't decide
between the young ladies and the
Grant Town quartette. These young
men are good singers, in fact we have
heard many quartettes in tab and yau-
deville that didn't have a thing on
these boys. Both contestants were
given second prize. Tony Delegate
had 1t all over the bunch for clever
work, however, and was awarded the
prize without QLSb BILE. He 10 some
dancing kid, and with little training
would develop into world beaten.
Bet Babe LaPorte could take that boy
and make star out of him. All told,
1t was the best amateur entertainment
yet put on at the Hipp. Tonight is the
first showing of "Casey's Reception"
Today is designated as Soldiers and
Sailors day at the Hipp, and all SOL
diers Of Uncle Sans army, no matter
what branch they have served in, nor
how long or how little time, will be
admitted free ut any OF the three
shows, provided they are in uniform.
1t is little mark of appreciation that
the management of the Hipp trusts the
returned soldiers will avail themselves
Of.

THINK IN INTERESTS -SaV -
DTVS Will Start No Contests.

Not one local option election has
been brought by the drys in WiscoD-
sin this spring. The Anti-Saloon
League advised against this or the
grounds that with prohibition for the
whole country coming next Jan. l6.
the shock of adjustment should come
all at once. They counted on the
vets to take the same course.
Last year 90% of the elections were
called by the drys. This year all are
called by the vets. Last year the
drys called 300. This year the vets
called ten or fifteen. Nothing else SO
strongly points the moral that the
vets do not really expect to be able
to beat the amendment or even war
time prohibition.
The dry forces are centering their
efforts this year on obtaining enact
ment of a strong law to enforce pro-
hibition as it becomes applicable.
Two bills are before the legislature,
Senator Benefits being favored
by the drys.

PAY FOR SHIPS

Early in the war the United States
realized that IL the German U-Boats
continued their campaign OF frightful-
ness there would soon be no ships to
send men or supplies to France.
When we entered the war there
were only 81 shipyards in America.
"Ships and more ships" soon became
the cry. America attacked the prob
lem In characteristic American style.
So rapidly did the ships begin slip
ping down the way that Germany saw
her U-Boat campaign had been de-
feated. When the war ended we had
1913 shipyards that were building the
bridge of ships" that Pershing asked.
Nothing did more to end the war in
1918 than our shipbuilding program.
That program cost money but it served
its purpose. The Victory Liberty Loan
Will give everyone q chance to show
his thankfulness.

MONEY OR LIVES.

Better to Pay In Dollars Than in Lives
Of Our Youths.
Which would you prefer the United
States to spend-b billions in money or
the lives of 100000 good young Ameri-
canS2
War and navy officials knew what
your answer would be and they acted
accordingly. They poured out money
by the billions to end the war as
soon as it was possible to do SO.
The result was the signing of the
armistice months before experts be-
Neved Germany could have been beat
en- to her knees. It cost money to
pile up shells and artillery and gas
and ships and clothing but our deter
mined efforts showed Germany we
meant business.
Army experts say that had the war
gone into the terrible spring offensive
that the world dreaded. at least loo, 900
more Americans would have been
slaughtered. Perhaps your boy or
your husband or your brother would
have been on that awful roll of death.
Think of this when your country asks
you to support the Victory Liberty
Loan and subscribe to the limit on
April 21st.

One day, comm lords the kitchen,
Mrs. Hank, she overheard
Some squeaky sounds and Hanks voice
whisperin', Say, but you're bird.
what was that noise?' says Mrs.
Hank, and Hank says, sugar sweet,
I'm just a-callin' Towser. There's
some scraps for him to eat.

Hank says, light and airy,
oh, that? I was a-talkin' to the lit

Then Mrs. Hank, she picks some long
hairs off his coat and said,
No blondined wool like that was ever
CROWN on my head!'
Which might have gave most anyone
but Hank sort of joltin'.
But Hank says, Don't it beat all how

When TO Quit Advertising.

When the grasshopper ceases to hop
And the COW quits bawling,
When the fishes no longer flop,
And the baby stops squalling.
When the dunner no longer dnns
And the boot owl quits hooting.
When the rivers cease to run,
And the burglar stops his looting,
When the vine no longer twines,
And the skylark stops his larking.
When the sun no longer shines
And young men quit sparkling,
When the heavens begin to drop
And the old maids stop advising,
Then-its time to shut up shop
And quit your advertising.
