1t has many things that not found else
where, including cornhusk mattresses.
Approaching that long, low coast, with its
three lighthouses, the first thing one sees is
the Pilgrim Monument; the second is the
bobbed hair
Provncetown's main street which isn't Main
Street (but which is Commercial Street) is the
eighth wonder of the age as far as traffic con-
ditions go. 1t is about wide a good-sized
alley and is bounded on one side--not always
the same side-by sidewalk on which fat
persons are emphaticay de trop. Up and
down the devious length of this thoroughfare
and it is miles long with more curves than

and the wharves.
Commercial Street is most of Provincetowr.
There is a hinterland of little tangled alley
ways in the rear but everybody who is any
body lives Commercial Street-lives, walks,
rides, paints, loafs and sightsees this mar

are fishing smacks at Provlncetown, but there
are as many artists painting them as there
are smacks to be painted. They gather oysters
at Cotuit, but there almost as many sum-
mer visitors as there oysters The wharves
at Welhect are deserted, but the towns two
inns. one hotel and various boarding houses
are we'll peopled.
One can approach Cape Cod in two ways
at the beginning or at the end. To begin at
the beginning one goes overland, by train,
motor or foot power, starting from Buzzards
Bay or Woods Hole. To begin at the end one
takes the boat from Boston to Provincetown.
Provincetown really should be the climax Of
the Journey partly because it is at the tip end
CT the Cape and partly because the climax IS
the point at which one turns around and heads
for home again. But the Bookworm and | al
ready knew something Of Cape Cod, and so
this summer we plunged right into the climax
~Provincetown.
Provincetown is like nothing else on earth
1t is the Latin Quarter Of the United States--a
combination Of Greenwich Village, Coney ISL
and and Chinatown. 1t has a main street
which isn't Main Street but is partly street
carnival and partly an art school 1t has art
exhibits and costume balls in the Town Hall.

What the artists see
in Prouincetown along
the vuter front

always there is the sea, beating against the
base of the cliffs as at Highland, retreating
over desolate salt marshes at Wellfeet, and
continually tapping at the most deectable Of
bathing beaches.
And if one insists upon fleeing the madden
ing tea room he she can do that. There
are still unfrequented roads through the
woods of scrubby pine. There are still New
England housewives, the daughters of sel
captains, who supply the visitor with home
made bread and bluebcrry pie and cream that
is really cream all at marveously low
price. There are even--I Observation-Disclosures
and fishing smacks and cod.
But the Cape is greatly changed. Nobody
denies that least of all the old settler IS he
does not suspect that you are motor tourist.
Cape Cod to-day is no longer region of mo-
ton picture fishing villages but is the summer
playground Of college professors and Ceve-
land millionaires and all sorts Of persons. An
endless procession of motor tourists burns up
the mpeccable aphalt roads. An endless ar
ray of artists lines the streets of Province
town, painting pictures in dooryards while the
motor tourists rush by and buy paintings on
the rush.
The charming cottages with the sea-green
shutters and silver doorknobs are there but
many Of them have become Blue Gables o.

HOSPITAL

A meeting of the citizens of Wau-
seon and vicinity was held Monday
evening to further plans in the
cause of a hospital for Fulton Coun-
ty.
For some time past this PROPOSE
tion has been under way and it is
now nearly ready to be brought be-
fore the County Commissioners for
their approval and if approved by
them it will be placed on the ballot
at the November election.
Two hundred signers were needed
before it could be placed with the
Commissioners and these were
easily obtained and there are more
than that number now.
The building that is planned will
be Memorial Hospital to the SER
vice of soldiers, sailors, marines and
pioneers of the county. 1t will cost
about $500, which wuold mean a
very small tax on the duplicate of
the county as whole.
The location of the Hospital is UP
to the Governor. He appoints two
members from each party that act as
appointees to locate where the Hos
pital shall be built.
This county needs Hospital and
now is the time to push it. 1t will
mean but a very small cost to any
one.

STORIES OF AMERICA AND AMERICANS
A Turkey Shoot at Harvard College in 1921 The Boy
From Kentucky who was Marksman.

This is a true story of an affair
at Harvard College over a century
ago. The hero was one Larze An
derson, a lad of Kentucky and later
on a resident of Cincinnati. The
original narrator was Josiah Quincy,
of the class of 1921 of Harvard, who
took the incident from his journals.
Larz was a faxen haired boy, says
Quincy, and Travelled all the way to
Cambridge from Kentucky on horse
back with two companions. The
baggage of the trio was borne in sad
die bags behind the riders. This
mode of travel was the only way to
make the journey there, as the roads
were such that the trip by public
conveyance was impossible.
The scene of the story is laid on
the site Of Oxford street, Cambridge,
later very decorous thoroughfare
not adapted to target shooting, with
turkey as the target, which the
students frequently at that /. time
made their sport. They stood with
their backs to the site of old Mem
orial Hall and discharged their rifles
at turkey just discernable at long
range. The turkey was the meat of
any student who happened to hit it,
which was seldom. But the chance
offered was attractive to the young

SHERIFF FORD
FINDS STILL

Last Monday afternoon while
Shreiff Ford and his deputies were
searching in the neighborhood of
Centerville south of Swanton for the
postoffice robbers who escaped a
week ago they located a still in a
house in that vicinity.
The Sheriff was notified Monday
that the robbers were somewhere in
the neighborhood of Swan Creek
Township and left Immediately for
that vicinity.
1t was some time after noon when
they came to the farm home of
Walter Bojonowski and decided to
take look around the place. They
entered the house and discovered a
big still in operation. They imme-
diately put the owner under arrest
and brought him to Wauseon. The
Sheriff then took a truck and went
back to the Bojonowski place to con-
iisticate the still and fiery water.
The spoils consisted of two gaso-
line stoves, four barrels of mash in
process, two big copper boilers, a
quantity of coils and IA gallons of
the so-called liquor ready to be sold.
On Tuesday Bojonowski was ar
raigned before Judge Barber and was
fined $1,000 and costs. He was un-
able to pay his fine and is now board
ing with Sheriff Ford.

HARDWARE
STORE ROBBED

Sometime last Friday evening or
early Saturday mornig thieves broke
into the Reynolds Hardware Store
and stole considerable goods. En-
trance was gained through the back
door which was locked with a bolt
and also bar 3x5 that was wedged
between irons across the door.
After gaining entrance to the back
room there was still one more door
that had to be opened and it is
mystery how they opened this door
without breaking it to pieces, as it
was latched on the inside and a lock
slipped through the steeple.
Early Saturday morning the tracks
of the car or truck were still visible
in the alley back of the store and it
was plain that they headed east to
their hiding place in Toledo where
they will dispose of the stolen goods
The loot consisted of:
Six 30x31k Firestone Non Skid, new
tread.
Six, 3ox3.
Kelly Springfield 30xS1k smooth
clincher tire.
Goodrich 3Ox3h non skid, fabric
tire.

2 Goodrich 32x31k, same.
2 Hartford 32x3h, non skid.

skid white tire.

paired.

VAUDEVILLE COMING
:. TO PRINCESS FRIDAY

Among the acts of vaudeville
which are TO be seen at the Princess
Friday and Saturday is the mysteri-
GUS performance of Genesta, who is
on the card as "the wonder of won
ders."
He claims to be able to escape
from a barrel of water after being
securely handcuffed, then placed in
a large oaken barrel which has been
previously filled with water. The
lid of the barrel is composed of 12
inch square cut out and fitted with
hinges and hasps. All is secured
with a monster paddock. The barrel
will be in front of the theatre subject
to inspection at all times but when
used on the stage a committee
will be allowed to inspect it, see that
IL is filed with water, handcuff Gen
esta, place him in the barrel and lock
down the lid.
70 fail to effect an escape in one
minute will mean to meet with a
drowning death. Scientists claim
that ia ancient India the priests after
lifelong study and concentration
seemed to have the ability while
under hypnotic control, to be able to
cause their bodies to ascend and float
in midair, slowly disappear and even
to be projected through walls of
stone and again materiaiiZe, to the
awe and bewilderment of those who
beheld this wonderful phenomena.
Has Genesta discovered this ancient
secret or does he depend upon mod
ern trickery? See him at the Princess
Friday and Saturday.

fellows who paid certain price for
their opportunity. The usual end
of the match was the departure of
the proprietor with all his birds in
tact and the coin of the students.
One day a little light haired un-
assuming lad appeared at the lists
to try his luck. He seemed such a
novice that the master of ceremonies
felt called upon to show him how to
hold the gun. After those prelim-
mary instructions, young Larz who
it was, took aim and to the aston
ishment of the man, down dropped
the turkey. But thinking it an acci-
dent he smilingly bid the boy to try
his hand again and over was bowled
a second bird and am not sure but a
third, to make feast for the stu
dents.
"Well where in"-the United
States "did you come from 2" ex-
claimed the owner of the turkeys,
who saw in Lar player capable of
breaking the bank"
81 came from the state of Ken
lucky, Sir" answered Larz Ander-
son, bringing himself to as great a
height as possible" and remember
Sir, with the teachings in this manly
pastime we have had from our fore
fathers, such sport is an easy game"

POLITICAL HUNTING

Mr.. Editor:
AS the hunting season is approach
ing, allow me to warn the hunters
that while it is all right to prod a
hole to locate a skunk, yet be sure
that the prod hasn't a sharp point.
The stencil is sufficient without MAX
ing the varmint squeal so it can be
heard in the next county. This /
learned while skunk hunting lately.
Though I regret that your senior
editor did not consult the Ancient
Boss when aspiring to the position to
which he has been appointed. What
though he may have been directed
to make the annual pilgrimage ito
see pa" the sacrimental offering
would be we'll worth the price OF
peace in the party ranks.
Trusting there will be sufficient
stone road contracts and public utili-
ty franchises at stake to insure any
particular boss who commentaries
his personal and political prestige
with a livelihood, l remain
Yours truly,
