company for installation will be repaid
by the company at the rate of % per
cent of the net earnings of the local sys-

HARD CIDER MAKES
LITTLE JUDY ''HAPPY''

One of the most humorous things in
Mary PickfordMary Pickford's new
feature, Daddy Long Legs" which
will be seen at the Unique Friday, Nov.
Z, is a series of scenes in which Mary,
as Judy Abbot takes too much hard
cider.
The funny little "drunk" is not in
dulged in by Judy Abbott, the orphan
child Miss PickfOrd plays, with malice
aforethought 1t happens that she
and another little orphan with a freck-
led face have just led ''prune strike"
in which they have sought to obtain
better food for the children of the asy-
lum, who are fed on thin soup and
prunes.
The tyrannical head matron has won
the battle and, to punish Judy, and the
little boy, who aided her in encourag-
ing the children to strike. the matron
puts them out in the yard with nothing
to eat. A thief who has been stealing
from a passing wagon throws over the
fence a jug of hard cider and some
sandwiches.
Judy and the boy have been praying
for food. They think this dropped
from heaven, and proceed to eat and
drink without inquiring into the ma
ture of the donation. So it happens in
the most innocent way both children
become happy"

WAS TOLD TO SHOOT
"CHARLEY NOBLE"
Ladysmith Young Man Transferred
From Destroyer Kimberly to Z.
S. S. BrOOme

Marvin Noble, well-known Ladysmith
young man and son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Cary Noble, has recently been trans
ferred from the Z. S. destroyer Kim
berly to the Z. S. S. Broome. Marvin
expects to be released from the navy
in December as Secretary of the Navy
Daniels has announced that all those
who enlisted in the navy between Aug
ust, 1916 and March, 1917 for four
years, may be released when three
years are up. If released, Marvin eX-
poets to take position under the Z. S.
Shipping Board as steward.
A recent issue Of the Journal-Cour-
ier, New Haven, Conn, contained the
following humorous article that will
be of interest to Marvin's many Lady
smith friends:
The sailorman's vocabulary in the
navy includes many proper nouns of
ancient origin One of the latter, and
of decided Importance is, Charley
Noble" An amusing old yarn was
told on board the Kimberly recently to
an interested group of visitors, about a
young watch officer, who in reading
over the morning orders, after reliev-
ing the deck at 4 100 a. m. was startled
to find these words, in the clear, iirm
handwriting of the executive officer,
and over that worthy gentleman's sig
nature ''ShOot Charley Noble" The
young officer pondered over these homi-
nd ir G.
turbed frame of mind, as well as in a
quandary as to whether he would be
compelled to do the dirty work himself
with his service pistol. or employ a
firing squad at sunrise. The deed still
remained undone, when the executive
officer appeared on the quarterback
shortly after ''turn-tO" and inquired,
Have you shot Charley Noble?
Then it was that the young officer
found out what it was all about, much
to the amusement of the exec. Char
lev Noble" is the one and only name
given to the galley smoke-pipe, and the
galley it should be stated, if not known
to all, is the ships kitchen, whence

must be given jolt of black powder
frequently, when the wind is right to

Charley has more lives than cat), is
called Shooting Charley Noble
Now the amusing part about all this
is, so far as the Kimberly is concerned,
that the big destroyer herself has a

of Noble Is it not superfiuous ques-

young destroyer lad? Why Charley
