Nipple Company
Gives Fine Concert

A small but very apprecative
audience last night enjoyed the
concert given at the Colonial
Theatre by the Nipple Concert
company for the benefit of the
American Legion presented by
Messrs. Pearl .Griegs and George
Human.
The company composed of Mr..
Nipple, trombone, saxophone,
traps and Xylophone; Mrs. Nipple
piano and saxaphone; Mr.. Skin
ner, cornet and saxaphone, and
MI. Wakefield, violin and saXa-
phone. Every one Of the company
were artists and the management
IS to be congratulated on their
choice of entertainers.
They gave varied and pleasing
program ranging from arrange
ments of popular selections to in
terpretations of Ell Trovature, The
Humoresque, and the Litz second
Rhapsody. The Poet and Peasant
Overture, by the saxaphone quar-
tette, and Supier's Interpretation of
the Light Cavalry Overture were
exceptionally good as were the
cOrnet and trombone duet in the
rendition of The Hunting Song
from Mugolski.

Women Need SWamp-ROOt

Thousands of women have kidney

condition, they may cause the other
organs to become diseased.

times symptoms of kidney trouble.

Capt. Ferrin Sees Com
pany ID Weekly Drill
Continued from Page One

Monday evening he was present
at the dirll of Co. C at Lyndon
vile; Tuesday with Co. L. and the
3rd Battalinon headquarters at
Newport, and Wednesday night
with Co. d, at their regular drill
period.
Captain Ferrin watched the Co.
d. boys at machine gun drill and
expressed much satisfaction with
the manner in which they handled
their weapons. After the regular
period of drill he took charge of
the company for a short period in
the nonclemature and component
parts of the machine gun, after
which he addressed the men on the
Act OF Congress, of June 80, 1920,
known as the National defense
Act.
He mentioned that in the days
before the war that the regular
army, National guard, and organ
lied reserve were continually at
odds with each other due to ieal-
ously between the organizations
That was the reason for the Ma
tional Defense act, that made the
National Guard. and Reserve as
much a part of the first line of
defense of the nation as the Reg
ular army.
This done away with the old
spirit of jealousy and prejudice,
and welded the organizations into
one big army, or brotherhood of
men.
The regular army has been de-
pleted and dissipated throughout
the United States until it is only
a skeleton of its former self, due
to the so called pacifists, who be-
lieve that disalment will do away
with war, but as Capt. Fenin eX-
pressed it, Gas long as men have
two fists, red blood and an inner
ent love of freedom there will be
war, and no power except that
above can stop it,"
He expressed the aims of the
National Guard, as being to best
prepare Our citizens, so that should
another condition arise as there

did in 1917, that the country would
be prepared to face it without the
enormous and useless expenditure
of life, time and money that was
done at that time.
His talk was very interesting
and instructive, and given as only
one who has had an intimate ac-
quaintance with conditions as they
were could express it and he made
very visible impression on the
members of the company.
Captain Ferrin was very much
pleased with the shooting gallery
WHICH is being constructed, and is
nearly ready for use in the base
ment of the A1mory. Co. d. is the
only organization in the 172nd
Infantry that has an indoor range
and the members of the company
were complmented on their sue
cess with the venture.

THE DECLINE OF THE ATTIC

THE DECLINE OF THE ATTIC
The old fashioned family cher
ished its attic. 1t boarded Old
treasures. If chair OF table broke
down, it was customary to stuff 1t
away in the attic with the idea OF
mcnding it at some future day. But
moro frequently it was forgotten.
Trunks would accumulate, load
ed with remnants of old clothing,
discarded souvenirs, outWorn con-
veniences. Gradually the attic fill
ed up with a miscellaneous hodge
podge of useless stuff.
Rummage sales became custo-
mary after a time, and people
would relieve this superflous accu-
mutation to some extent. But
many conservative families still
hang on to lot of stuff that is
little better than trash, and The
bigger the attic is, the more it
gathers Of these decfdent posses
sicns.
Ali over the country, but parti-
cularly in the western states, d
multitude of fiat roof bungalows
are being put up, which have little
o. no attic space. A host Of fam
lies are living in cramped apart
mcnts. The woman who has been
used to the old roomy attic asks
how such folks care for their sur
plus goods. She learns that great
many people in these times have
learned to do without these accu-
mutations, and are unwilling TO
hamper themselves with stuff that
will be difficult and expensive TO
move. SO they have learned to
do without the old time attic
storage.
Old timers defend such accumu-
lations and maintain that il you
save a thing long enough, you usu-
ally find some use for it, and that
you usually regret it if you throw
a once useful article away But
while the old attic is pictur-
esque center of memories and one
can find there many ghosts of the
past, it is doubtful if these boards
o. old stuff are profitable. Modern
rents are too high and space too
precious, to give room to much
stuff except what one needs in
daily life.
