"M!ARY7S ANKLE"
What's in name? Shakespeare
asked that question several hundred
years ago and May Tully answered 1t
with her clever farce "Mary's Ankle"
which will be presented At the
Academy Friday and Saturday, Jan
uary "a and rs.
The Bard OF Avon tried to prove
that any old name is a. good AZ an
other. but Miss Tully shows conclusive
ly that the poet didn't know what he
was talking about There was only
one name in the world that suited her
purpose and she used 1t for her
heroine. 1t is the commonest name
known to compilers OF directories and
The name is Smith. II Miss Tully had
taken any other name for her lead
ing character there never would have
been "Mary's Ankle" Hence, is
Shakespeare proven wrong. Those
who have seen the play will recall the
purpose to which the name Smith Is
put There are three impecunious,
but daring young men who are so hard
up for cash that they are willing to
do anything this side OF murder to
obtain sufficient money for breakfast.
One OF them hits on the big idea. He
thinks II would be a good idea to issue
fake wedding invitations and pawn
the presents The other two fall in
with the scheme. They start to write
the copy for the engraver. When
they come to the bride-to- he's name
they are momentarily on-plussed. To
use the name OF a real person might
result in law suit. They get the tele-
phone directory. They think of the
commonest name and turn to the
Browns. Then they try the Greens.
They find the Greens are less numer-
ous. Next they look for the Joneses
While the Browns and Greens, they
are still dissatisfied until they give
the Smiths chance. The Smiths win
in walk. The boys find no less than
twelve columns of Smiths. They in
stantly decided to marry the hero to
some one named Smith and the in
vitauons are sent out. Everything
might have gone we'll for them, had
they not taken such a common name

invitations and the trouble begins. AS
has been said, II Miss Tully had not

had no play. AS one character re-

START MOVEMENT
TOWARD SAVING
NSSH|L6H CHURCH
HOLDERS OF THE MORTGAGE
THREATEN TO FORCLOSE AND
CONGREGATION GETS BUSY

People of Shiloh were surprised by
a visit from representatives of the
Congregational church society, who
made known the fact there was a
three hundred dollar mortgage held
by them against the Shiloh church,
and they had decided to sell the church
or move it if. the money was not paid
at once.
There were a few older people who
knew of this mortgage, but it was
not known generally, and the idea was
not pleasing as the people at large
had built the church; an up-to-date
church with everything complete.
AS there was no one who cared to
advance the money, it was decided to
ask the people to contribute and also
TO give entertainments during the
coming winter. The Aid society
money was also given and good
substantial payment has been collected
already.
The first number Of the Lift the
Mortgage" entertainments was given
Friday night at the hall, where a
large number attended the box social
which was a grand success both soci-
ally and financially.
Anyone wishing TO donate towards
the Lift the Mortgage and save the
Church" fund can leave their contri-
buttons, however small, or large, with

FRIDGE, MRS. JOHN BUN

Friday morning, November Sth wit
messed the first automobile accident
which has happened around this city
for some time.
Louis Cartridge, farmer, living
west of town, and his aunt, Mrs. John
Bunderson, of lonia, were at the Mill
three crossing just as the six-forty
nine train, bound for Howard City,
was due. Knowing that II was near
train time, both Mr.. Cartridge and
his aunt were listening for the whistle
and looking each way to see if the
train was coming. A string of box
cars were sidetracked from the cross
ing to one of the warehouses, entirely
, shutting off the view towards town.
The train did not whistle, and just
as they hit the crossing the engine
smashed into them hurting the car
and its occupants some distance.
Mrs. Bunderson was bruised quite
severly about the body and face and
very weak from extreme fright when
she was picked up and carried to the
engine, which took both people back
to the depot M. Cartridge was also
bruised severely, but, because of his
anxiety about his aunt, did not fully
realize how badly he was hurt until
some time later. The car was COM
pletely demolished, but both Mr.. Car
fridge and Mrs. Bunderson were very
I fortunate to have escaped Instant

the public in their pursuit of life, Ii
berty and happiness while residents
of the baliwick and also as a protec-
tion against bank robbers, gangs of
whom persist in roaming around the
state and carrying away the funds Of
some banking institution and there
fore purchased arms with which to
equip their firemen so they would be
ready to answer riot call at any time
A safety first method when travelling
through Portland now is to either hold
up both hands while going through or
carry a sign, prominently displayed,
giving the information that you are
no bank robber, never were and so far
as you know, never intend to be. This
will undoubtedly be all right and you
will be allowed to pass through un-
molested. The guns which the Port
land firemen are carrying are old dis
carded Springfields, purchased from
the war department at $500 each.
Thus at cost of $50 Portland buys
equips and maintains a regular stand
ing army Of its own.
