"The Circus Cowboy" is Full of
Thrills

Charles Jones in The Circus Cow
boy his latest William Fox produc-
ton, which opened u two day run
at the Opera House Theatre last
night, is Jones at his best. 1t is a
rip roaring action picture which
gives this popular star plenty of OPP
portunity to act as we'll.
Marian Nixon, who has been his
leading lady in several of his recent
productions, furnishes the romance
and in the colorful setting of the
west and the big top" there is en-
acted drama of intrigue, love and
men that will ho.d your interest
throughout.
The story is that of a cowboy who,
accused falsely of shooting n man,
outwits and outrideS a posse and
joins q circus. Miss Nixon plays Il
tightrope walker who eventually cap
tivates Jones. but before she does it,
she supplies the motive for some eX-
traordinary action. One of the big
thrills of the picture comes when an
animal trainer, spurned by the girl,
loosens the guy rope of the tight wire
while she is performing. She falls,
but instead of being dashed to death,
she is caught in the arms of the big
cowboy. What else could they be
but happy after that"-Adv.

Monmouth, Me-, Aug. 1.-THE an
nual reunion of alumni of Monmouth
Academy is always looked forward
to with much interest and many
former students of all ages gather to
recall old times and meet old friends.
This year was no exception and
Wednesday morning brought rep
resentative assembly to the old brick
building and it's beautiful campus.
The committees in charge of the
various departments had done their
work well and all was ready for a
rousing good time. The result was
equal to expectations and showed
that the love and enthusiasm of the
old students for their school has not
grown cold.
At IL o'clock as many as could be
accommodated gathered in the main
room and old songs were enjoyed for
time. After prayer by Rev. II. c.
Bryant, pastor of the Congregational
church, the president of the Associa :
ton, Justice Albert NJ. Spear, than
whom there is no more loyal alum
nus. spoke a few words of greeting
and read letters from several absent
members, among whom We're Charles
a. Barrett and c. l.. Judkins. Miss
Marjorie Richardson gave a piano
solo, followed by the report of the
secretary. Miss Nellie f. Marston.
and, a, short business meeting. AT
the noon hour a picnic lunch was en-
joyed, with hot coffee served to all.
Carl F. Getchell Esq, of Auburn,
was POSTMASTER and filled the posi-
ton most gracefully. After a few
remarks he read letter from Mrs.
Lila Marston of Yakima. Washing
ton, a former assistant teacher. Miss
Leila King gave a beautiful piano
solo. A very enjoyable feature was
vocal duet by Mrs. Lillian Getchell
and Mrs. Rena Leadbetter McIlroy
accompanied by Mrs. Winnie Colt
Edwards. The after dinner speakers
included DR.. Charles Cumston of
Brunswick, Rev. c. T.. Owen of Wa
terville and Monmouth. Prof. f. w.

and DIR. Delbert Stewart of South
Paris. Their remarks abounded in
repartee and in "reminiscences of
school days. The speaker of the day
was Justice A. NJ. Spear, for whom
three cheers were given in the heart

vein, for he is always at his best with

his old friends. While always spark
ling with wit in his addresses before
a gathering of this kind. Justice
Spear never overlooks the serious
and worthwh things of life and
there is always something to inspire
his audience with a desire to live
and work for the good of mankind.
His subject on this occasion. though
serious, was timely in view of its
general discussion throughout the
country. He spoke on Preparedness
for War, touching on the differ
ent wars of history from those
of the old Greeks and Romans down
to those in which our own country
has been engaged. and emphasizing
the fact that without struggle Amer
lea today would not stand forth as
the foremost nation of the world.
A violin solo by Roland Head and
reading by Miss Marian Chick We're
followed by the singing of America
by the audience. This completed the
program and the people soon wend-
ed their way down the hill, hoping
that next year will bring. if possible,
an equally delightful reunion.

Tiny Tot Talk

When little tots are at the age of
learning how to walk. they have one
art that's lost whom they are grown.
They really know, but little bout
the proper way to talk. and yet they
have a language of their own.
This funny line Of patter is a thing
that's puzzling, quite. And none.
but Nom and Dad can understand.
The youngsters pull tho lingo from
the early morn till night. and only
stop when deep in Sunderland.
A neighbor calls and listens to the
little Riddles line. Her patience is
a kindly thing. no doubt. And when
the youngsters finished she will
sweetly say. That's fine" and yet
she knows not what it's all about.
The "bla. bla" with some babies
means I'D like to have a drink"
with others, please put on my coat
and hat" OF course it's rather
puzzling and you have TO stop and
think to know just what the kiddys
driving at.
But. after all, this baby talk is
something parents like and some
thing that they miss when tots are
grown. The one thing they re-
member of a tiny little tike is that
funny little language III tic own.
