LARGE AUDIENCE CREETS
:. LAST SHOWING OF PLAY

A large audience greeted the last
performance of care You Mason"
last evening at the. Grand theatre
and all who were in attendance ap-
peared to have enjoyed this brilliant
home talent comedy to the fullest
extent. ~,
Paroxysms of laughter occurred
frequently and Fred Fraser, in the
role of George Fisher impersonating
Fanchon Armitage, French mada-
proved the hit of the per-
formance. The comic situations
proved to be admirably staged and
everv member of the cast portrayed
his or her part in excellent style and
ease. =,
Miss Josephine Parker, assisted by
Miss Lorraine Kreatz at the piano,
gave a number of. character readings
and. novelty dance between acts;
McFadden's orchestra furnished
music for the occasion gratuitously.
+ Credit for the successful staging
and presentation of the play IS due
to Sanford Dodge, experienced d.
rector. whose services are greatly ap-
nreciated by the Ralph Oracle post
Of the American Legion, under the
auspices of which the comedy was
staged. I.;..
talked up among the Legion members
and the probability is that such. a
production will be staged locally IN
the near future.

ARABI BUMPS
FOR SPEEDERS
BY Mrs. w. /. Patterson

'Tis said we live and lea.A" but
there seems to be some change
made in the old saying among
some autoists, Bump and Learn
Which brings to mind th3 most
Tidely discussed thing in Arab the
Bumps. Had the object of the build
crs Of these bumps been t. attract
attention of the tourists, V;yrders,
and the many passing through on
! business they never, never could
have hit upon a plan that would have
gained as much attention as the
Jumps Said attention being If sew
tial varites.
Newspapers in different parts of
the state have commented upon them,
and given them space that otherwise
Arab would not have received One
gentleman, when asked by commit
tee ,of ladies, if he would like to con
lrl1ute something toward building
lrCw church here, replied, "No Arabi
as bumps" SO much has been said
CT them. and so little said to tell what
they were, that people are beginning
tc ask in awed tones. What are the
Arabi Bumps, They seem t, think
it might be,a very ferocious bulls dog
1swering to the name Of Bumps
II perhaps that it is a fearful dis
! case, worse than influenza, existing
oaly at Arab SO there it goes.
In bygone days, cars literally flew
though Arahi; they flew 50 fast and
80 reckless, disregarding all signs Of
danger and speed limit signs, and
lnever seemed to realize that this
was busy little town, withs inter
secting streets, and that this place
had a fair number Of automobiles
and trucks, and that they occsionlly
would like to dross the National
Highway, without imperiling their
lives. Also they never seemed to
lcalize that this was an in corporated
town with the privilege Of making
1nd maintaining a speed law.
There are two dangerous curves On
he Highway just rs you enter and
inst as you leave the MIST thickly
populated portion of town. Sings to
warn the stranger, Of the dangerous
curve, and the beginning Of speed |

Put on their thinking caps "and /
Tvs a result "Arabi got the bumps.
These bumps are notorious Only |
