hearts of everyone.
No old man or young man or anyone

that she should be and nothing she
shouldn't be. she is about the dainti-
est, most alluring. fascinating little
creature that has yet hit the silver
curtain.
Everybody remembers her in Pink
Tights" In Risky Business" the
new Universal feature in which she
will be seen, she is even more attrac-
tive than in her last production. She
essays the role of a flip fapper, SUBJ
deb, or anything else that you want
to call a young society girl, and she
proves the CONSERVATION of her family
and the sweetheart of everyone. In

kind of a vehicle for Miss Walton and

Surprisers Surprised


The home Of Attorney General anG
Mrs. r. w. Shaw, who came home
from Augusta Friday, on a weekend
visit, was invaded Saturday evening
by members of the Harmony Club
who with their husbands had come
to give them little surprise call and
to shower congratulations upon Mr.
Shaw on the new honor bestowed
upon him. says the Aroostook Daily
News. Houlton. The original sur
prisers" had thoughtfully brought
their own refreshments along, but as
the evening wore on other friends of
this popular couple dropped in sur
prising the surprisers, until at 10
o'clock the spacious rooms were well
filled. The latter arrivals seeming,
a party in the air, sent home
or out to the nearest "delicatessen''
shop for more eatables and turntables
until when the time for refreshments
arrived 1t was indeed a merry affair
and there was sound of revelry by
night"
Mr.. and Mrs. Shaw are noted for
their hospitality and are never more
happy than when entertaining in
their own home. 1t was a somewhat
novel but nevertheless pleasurable
sensation to them to be the enter
tanned instead of the entertainers in
their own domicile. Their Houltcn
friends hope the absences of Mr.. and
Mrs. Shaw will never be lengthy ones
and it is understood that MI. Shaw
intends to be at home over every
weekend at least.

HOulton Man Buys
Speedy Calgary Earl

The handsome chestnut stallion
that has been admired by all OBJ
servers since Harry Nevers first ap-
peared with him on the Houlton
streets will however remain in the
Nevers' Stable and Harry will be
seen behind him when he turns for
the word in the free-for-alls next
summer.
This is Mr.. Powers first venture
in race horses and it will be seen that
he aims high as such a good Judge
as the Portland trainer Irving Pottle,
who was in Houlton a short time
ago says Calgary Earl is the highest
class race horse ever brought into
Maine.
The blocky built chestnut looks the
part of the iron sided campaigner he
is said to be, and his legs are as
clean as an unbrollen colts Not
showing the least sign of wear in
spite of the fact that he has been a
contender in thirty eight races in the
last two years.
Calgary Earl 2.o2a was started
around twenty times in. 1920 and in
his half mile track Engagements was
never beaten.
He won the $1,000 stake at Canton
Ohio, the $4,000 stake at Akron, the
$1,000 stake at Cranwood where he
paced the second heat in 2.0G over
heavy track; won at second Gran
wood meeting, pacing his three heats
in 2.05a, 2.064 and 2.06h, and at Dam
vile, ILL.,, won in straight heats the
second in EOS.
He paced to his record in a win
ming race at Toledo, OHIO, and was
contender in most of his other starts
over the mile tracks. The Pressure
Isle Fair has announced $500
purse for their free for-all and it is
expected that Caribou, Hollton and
Woodstock will fall in line with good
sized purses. This will induce own
ers from all over the eastern states
to race in Northern Maine in 1921
and will insure race goers of the
greatest series of races ever held in
this section.
At present the.Bangor track holds
the State record by virtue of the
mile in 2.06a made by Earl Jr., 2O11
sire Of Calgary Earl. If this record
should be beaten in 1921 let us hope
the honors may come to some track
in Aroostook and that Calgary Earl
202a may don the champion mantle
of his daddy.-Aroostook Daily News.
