Party Next
Friday Night

Don't you think a kiddie
Party would be fine,
Just the kiddie grown,ups
All standing in a line?
The boys, perhaps in overalls,
Or rompers, as they please;
The girls in furbelows and fulls,
Or just a cute chemise.
Well hop and dance and jump,
And around the level go.
With childish glee, and cupid's
bow,
In gowns in calico.
Won't each of you join the rest
of us
With many, many stars,
Next Friday night at half past
seven?
And bring your pas ard mas
Well dance and sing with part
Ane then go home with merry
hearts,
And pockets full of candy.

Lumber Shipped North

What is true of mineral is equally
the case with lumber Practically all
of our lumber, and especially the hard
woods, is shipped to Northern factories
while there are a few furniture fac
tories and the like. The bulk Of our
purchases are made north of the
Mason-Dixon line
"Think of the constant drain upon
our financial system by this incessant
purchase away from home of goods
that should be manufactured within
our own borders and from our own
raw materials. Not only this, but there
is the further enormous loss of in

MILLIONAIRE HAS HARD
Time BEATING WAY TO
HOMELAND IN MEXICO

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
PARIS. Oct. S-United Press)E
Ulysses trying to get back TO his
half forgotten fatherland had moth
ing on Paul Bottle, millionaire mer-
chant of Mexico City, who recently
sailed for New York after an Odys-
sey which is a modern and magni-
fled version of Homer's epic.
By birth an Italian. issue of the
marriage of an Austrian officer and
an Italian girl. Bottle went to the
United States when very young and
was ~naturalized as an American
citizen. He worked as n waiter in
restaurants In New York and drift
ed west to San Francisco, where he
engaged 1 the oyster-raising bust
ness. Thence he went to New
Orleans, where lie amassed a for
tune and took 1t with him to Mexico
City.
Two years ago he decided to visit
the old home town In Northern Italy.
But. not knowing the European
dearth Of gold and the consequent
session of the precious metal. Bottle
slowed away on his person 1000
dollars in gold pieces.
Somebody in Italy discovered It.
The gold was confiscated, Bottize's
parenatge IA looked up and he was
deemed an undesirable person and
promptly sent whittier he had come;
in other words, he was whisked
over the French frontier. In France
he rememrebed that he had dis.
embarked at a place called Havre.
|Thither therefore. he directed his
steps. Steps is not meant in any
imaginative sense. either. for the
wanderer didn't have a sou and had
to walk. Arriving after weeks Of
weary marching in the Channel
'belied his tale of wealth and Ameri-
can citizenship. He had lost his
papers enroute. Nobody would lis
ten to his pleadings.
Bottle hawked newspapers,
shined shoes. served meals to emf
grants and did a thousand and one
other things to earn a living In
Havre while trying to find some
one who would believe him. Fin
ally, the American consul thought
there must be a basis of truth in
the mans assertions and cabled &c
an address in the United States
which Bottle had given. Promptly
came the reply. 1t consisted OF
a cable draft for $500 and informa-
ton that the forlorn wayfarer had
$3.50. 600 on deposit in tho bank
which drew the draft.
Fitted out in new clothes. Bottle
