A HIGH OLD TIME BY THE OLD PUTNAM HIGH
ON THE SCHOOLHOUSE GROUNDS
1t Was "Catch and Co. Every Single Minute Of Friday Evening

Mrs. S. ]. Hilburn come and sit in the
tent and tell each spender of a dime
ius- what she didn't know about the
future? OF course she would and
did; and, like all those who peer into
the future the more the client paid
the better future she saw. For some
palms she read she prophesied that
soap, long stranger, would soon be
met and a close friendship would fol-
low.
The noisest section of the grounds
was that occupied by the ''crazy
house. 1t was in charge of Walter
Shelley, and he, with the assistance of
several aides, proved conclusively that
all the insanity was not confined in
side the house. Walter is a sopho-
a holiermore; and his
booth had a continual flow of patrons

And a dozen more-all yelling and
megaphoning until their tongues
ached. Think of that! Many of
them were girls, too. But they were
really tired before the evening was
terminated.
And all this on the grounds Of the
high school Friday evening, where the
entire place was charmingly illurhi-
mated with colored electric lamps, and
where there were tents placed all
around the borders of the campus.
And there was the grand affair of
the evening-the coronation. That
took place on the steps of the school
house which answered admirably for
the dias upon which all coronations al
ways take place. An affair of this
sort would lack the real flavor of be-
ing properly governed unless rulers
should take a hand to look after mat
ters in general.
That was why by popular vote Of
the high school pupils Paul Leverett
was selected king. Then queen was
selected in the same manner. Then
after the crowning of the king and
after the band had returned from
the concert given at Druggists
Square. and after there had been vo-
cal and instrumental music on the
grounds, there came marching before
the king representatives from foreign
countries beseeching the potentate to
make his selection.
All contestants were charmingly
attired and looked their prettiest and
did their best to vamp the king; but
all the time he was wishing they
] would let him alone. He had his eye

ION what he wanted, and when came
before him Nancy Watkins, represen-
ting Florida, he waited for no others.
He was satisfied, and gracefully did
he crown her as his queen and the
ruler of all festivities. The ceremo-
ny was a pretty one, and was well
carried out; the costumes being clev-
Ierly conceived and each participant
eager and anxious that the affair be
made a success.
Of course there were some wonders
of earth on exhibition in the booths
and tents of such rareness that the
spectators who had divorced them
selves from a dime require6~to OBJ
tain entrance wondered" as much as
the "wonder;" perhaps more so. No
one asked for the return of the mon
ey, but each, made committee of one
to induce others to Ego thou and do
likewise" And most of them went.
All of which meant more money in
the fund.
Then there were some pretty girls
wandering about the grounds selling
peanuts. The number in each sack
was not so great that first-grade
pupil could not count thenl-but the
nickel received from each sale was
just as good as any nickel in the whole
of Palatka; so what was there to
grumble about? There was plenty
to eat and to drink sold from the re-
freshment counter in the center OF
the grounds, and hunger and thirst
are two attributes which youths OF
each sex claim to possess in. a super
lative degree. This stand was served
by members of the senior class, pre-
sided over by one of the teachers,
Miss Faith Potter, of the home eco
nomics department, and probably did
more business from financial point
of view than any other-although the
vaudeville attraction under supervi-
sion of Clarice Newton, a junior,
gave continuous performance to
what were styled crowded houses.
The Putnam menagerie was under
direction of N. B. Armstrong, teacher
of English, and algebra. He was inn

WOMAN APPOMTEE
GOES TO CAPITOL
FOR RECOGNITION
No Precedent for Action
Known for Seating
MSr. FELTON,
(By Associated Pressl

Washington, Nov. 18.--Mrs. W. H.
FELTON, came to Washington today
from her home in Georgia with the
announced intention of seeking the
distinction of being the first woman
to sit in the United States senate.
Whether her ambition will be real
lied, however, apparently will not be
determined until after congress con-
vencs at noon next Monday.
The situation which will arise if
Mrs. FELTON, presents herself to Vice
President Coolidge will be unpre-
cedented. She was appointed on Oc-
tober 2 by Governor Hardwick, OF
Georgia, to the place made vacant
by the death of Senator Thomas E.
Watson. Since that time, however,
Walter F. George has been elected to
fill out Mr.. Watson's uneXpired term
and he. too, holds a commission for
the seat Mrs. FELTON, seeks.
In view of this senate leaders agree
with Governor Hardwick that Mrs
FELTON, has no legal right to a senate
place, but they said today that they
were not disposed to interpose Objec-
tions unless Mr.. George should make
demand for his seat Monday. Mr.
George has announced that he will do
all he can legally to aid Mrs. FELTON,
in fulfilling her desire to sit in the
senate, if only for day.

Invitations Go to Group
Whose Names Remain
Secret
STATEMENT BY CAPPER
Declares Will Fight Ship
Subsidy Bill to a
Finish

Washington, Nov. 18.-A call for
national conferenc eof progressives
to meet here December ! and and
organize a progressive group in
congress was issued tonight by Sen
ator La Toilette, of Wisconsin, and
Representative Huddleston, of Ala
bama, chairman and vice chairman,
respectively, of the peoples legisla-
tive service.
Formation Of not only cohesive
progressive bloc in senate and house,
but also a national council Of pro-
gressives without regard to party,
was the apparent object of the move
ment. There was no mention of a
third political party, and before the
call went out, Senator La Toilette de-
clared a new party must be a mat
ter of evolution and could not be es-
tablished through meetings of any
groups Of men and adoption Of reso-
lutions.
The call proposed a meeting of
progressive members of congress De-
cember 1, and of a gathering Of pro-
gressive leaders generally on Deem
ber 2. Invitations to the latter meet
ing were sent, it was announced, to
"a representative group of influen-
tial progressive men and women
throughout the country" whose
names were not divulged. Telegraph
ic replies were requested and it was
said the names of those accepting
would be announced as repleis were
received.
Previous to announcement of the
conference call, Senator La Toilette
issued statement declaring, that
"the time has now come for the or
ganization of a we'll defined group
in support of accepted progressive
principles and policies" and the de-
feat of the administration ship sub
sidy bill, proposed anti-strike Iegis-
lation and the projected transfer of
federal forests to the interior depart
ment.
Senatro Capper, republican, Kan
sas, chairman of the senate farm
bloc, almost at the same time issued
a statement declaring against the
ship subsidy bill and outlining a pro-
gram fo legislation including farm
credits, prohibition of tax-free secu-
rites and reduction of freight rates
and government taxes. Both, Sena-
tors La Toilette and Capper said
the recent elections were victory
for the progressives over the reac-
tionaries, but it was not apparent to
what extent the plans fo the farm
bloc might coincide with those of La
B6llette-Huddleston groups.
