ARMADA HIGH SCHOOL
The Feast of tn. Li.,I. Lantern

The Feast OF the Little Lanterns
"There ought to be law in Chi
na,' says the stern govcrness of the
Princess Chan, "that when children
run away they should be tied up in
rags and thrown into closet where
the rats and mice will run over
them"
"There is little, however, that saw
ors of such harsh treatment in the
picturesque Chinese opcretta, "The
Feast Of the Little Lanterns" which
the twelve girls of the high school
girls glce club, directed by +. A.
johnson will give Tuesday, February
2G in the high school auditorium. II
stead there is a Chinese garden with
bright colorcd lanterns, bright flow
crs and chorus Of bright-costumed
Chinese girls.
There is, too, the story Of lost
princess, whose royal sister mourns
her as dead. There is juggler maid
with remarkable ball and wand,
and an even more remarkable sleeve
from which are brought forth mos,
wonderful things. There IL n little
maid who, pulling feather from n
pcacocks' tail, is astonishcd n. find
ing IL attached TO bird. And above
all, there is happy ending.
The music for the operctta is Chin
cse in character and is unusually at

the pnrt Of the Princess Chan; Mamie
Ross is Mai ku, the Jugglcr maid +;
Vera Thodc plays Wee Ling, maid 10

Because Of conflict with other local
interests II was necessary To change
the date for "Thc Feast Of the Little

Pretty Bird Legends
Come From Portugal

The Portuguese are scarcely bird
lovers; they snare and shoot songsters
for the pot But they have some pref
ty bird legends, London Answers
states.
Portuguese bird song is rather diff
ferent from that of Britain. At Opor-
to, the chaffinch uses a different dla-
lect to the bird of, say, Derbyshire
Our chiffchaff's monotonous two notes
become in Portugal chip chip-chip-
chip, followed generally by three notes
--whit-whit-whit.
According to the Portuguese the
stone chat Of the fields Is the excom-
municated, or Judas, bird On the
evening of the Great Betrayal 1t cried /:
"Chhs, chas, por qui BEN has" (This
is the way). The chaffinch tried to
lead the soldiers in the opposite d.
rection, crying. PIN. pin por aqui ben
win" Come this way).
The nightingale was the father of
sharp practice. Before Adam was
created 1t tricked its Maker. Having
obtained leave to sing three months
in the year, 1t sings both day and night,
thus making the period equal to six
months.
The swallow is considered a sacrt d
bird, and respected because of tie
legend that it wiped the blood from
Christ's wounds on the cross, and thus
became reddish at its throat. The
same story is told of the robin red
breast.

Ancient Custonl

"Theres chap I've been in a

chance of getting out of It. He al
ways manages to have something else
to do when a person to whom he is
introduced gets ready to extend the
glad hand. That chap says that hand
shaking is survival of an ancient
custom that has no reason for existing
today. He insists If there is anything
he disllkes II is to grasp some
strangers moist paw and give It a
shake, for when he does so he wants
to sneak away and wash his own. I've
heard him expatiate upon the subject

How Lawyer Summed
Up ToWn's Officials

There dwelt down East quaint old
character, Lawyer Hopkins" whose
notion of the divine origin and char
acter of justice was certainly modern
in its practically. He occasionally
practlced law in a small way and In
a manner peculiarly his own.
On one occasion a flock of sheep
disappeared and their heads were
found In a -four barrel in the barn of
a certain man, who was thereupon ar
rested and tried for sheep stealing.
Lawyer Hopkins, in conducting the de-
Tense, maintained that the sheep were
not stolen, but had strayed away, as
was common in the spring.
The prosecuting attorney said:
Eyes, | know sheep do stray away
this time of year, but they do not
usually leave their heads in flour bar
rels in the haymow."
Hopkins went to neighboring town
to settle the case with the selectman,
but failed, and gave this report, char
acterizing the three town officials:
'Mr. A. will do nothing wrong If
he knows 1t; Mr.. B will do moth
ing at all If he knows it, and Mr.. c.
will do nothing right If he knows it"

When Liberty Party
Figured in Politics

The Liberty party was organized III
1874, and its candidate for the Presi-
dency in the campaign of that year
was James G. Birney, originally Of
Kentucky, but then of New York. Biz
ney was editor of the Philanthropist, an
aboltionist journal of that day, who
organized the Liberty party and
named himself as its candidate. Like
other personally conducted" parties,
its life was brief. In the campaign of
1848 it was merged into the Free Soil
party and later that and such rem
nants of the Wing party as were left
were absorbed by the new Republican
party says the Detroit News.
The election of 1874 was interesting
because of several circumstances. 1t
was time Of violent argument, of
high feeling, and was marked by many
and strange changes in alignment 1t
marked, too, the last appearance Of
Clay as a candidate for the Presi-
dency, when he polled his largest vote
and came within $4,000 votes Of de-
feating Polk and achieving his life's
ambition. Clay was candidate in
1920, again in 1882, and for the last
time, after twenty years trying for
the unobtainable, in 1874.

Sand Clock Was Wrong

Probably there is only one place in
the United Kingdom where the sand
glass is still used for timing purposes,
says London Tit-Bits.
In the house of lords sand glass
a squat, podgy-looking afrair-reposes
on the clerks table and is used to in
dictate the three minutes allotted to
a member during which, after the dec
laration of division, he is entitled to
record his vote.
A few years ago member chal-
lenged the correctness of the glass,
and upon a test being made he was
found to be right, the sand being ac-
tually all down in two and three quar-
tiers minutes. His vote was allowed
and more sand was put in the glass.

20 NATIONS JOIN OBSERVANCE

BY CHARLES v. VIcKREY
General Secretary Of the Near East
Relief.
With the cooperation OF civic and
religious leaders throughout the
United States, the Near East Relief
has inaugurated its campaign for the
second observance of International
Golden Rule Sunday on December 7.
The aim is to raise funds to provide
during the coming year for 100000
orphan children under American care
in Bible Lands. More than five mil
lion dollars Is the minimum needed.
The national Golden Rule commit
tee was organized several months ago,
under the craftsmanship of Cleveland
H. Dodge, the we'll known philanthro-
pist. An executive council is under
the craftsmanship of John H. Finley,
formerly Commissioner Of Education
Of New York State and now prom
inent as New York editor. State
and county committees are being or.
ganized throughout the United States
to insure success of the NATIONWIDE
campaign.
Setting aside of one day each year
in honor of the Golden Rule as a
guide to individual. national and In.
ternational life, is an American idea
which has been approved and adopted
by twenty-three nations. The day

Well, thought l might as well be

"Why, no." he said. Gosh There's
enough rubber there to supply the
world for ten years!'
"Well, she's all mlne,". / said. you

years handwriting and amt made no
shipments yet" said.
"Fd sure like to have your business"
said the prospect
"You can sure have 'er," told him.
"Tm getting kinda tired of the smell
of rubber, anyway. Mebbe we can get
together"
He said he didn't have enough
money, he reckOned, but he'd like to
see me after he had sent them sam
pies back East to have 'em tested.
And told him to go ahead and I'd be
glad to talk 10 him at any time.
Well, sir, in about two weeks he
came out to see me, and as soon as
saw his automobile coming over the
hill, started up the engine and began
BlluulIlB up HOiht LlOlC NuNidSs
Hello, there" he said. 81 got some
thing to show you"
1t was the report on them tests, and
they were pretty good. They said all
those samples were high-grade rubber,
and would make first-class automobile
tires.
Gosh, l was glad he hadn't shipped
any of that there mud along with his
samples, or they wouldn't have been
such good reports about 'em.
"HOw much money do you want for
your business and ALP he wanted to
know right off.
And, by golly, didn't know what to
tell him If l made 1t too big, he
might run, and If 1t was too low, why,
he'd suspect it wasn't all what it
looked like.
"Well," I said, 81 never thought
about sellln' till you asked me the
other day and haven't given 1t no
thought. What do you think she's
worth"
THAT wouldn't be very business
like he smiled, "me telling you what
your place is worth. Don't you know
what it's worth to your
Gimme $4,000 and she's yours" I
said, finally.
And l hadn't spilled out the last
word till he had his check book In his
hand
SO then we went over to the city
and got the cash, and gave him
deed to the cactus and the ten bar
rels of crude rubber and the mud lake,
and then, just as fast as could make
It, went and wrapped pullman car
around myself and departed away
from there.
I was afraid he'd find out how he
had been film-hammed before could
get out of sight.
/ read funny story in the paper
yesterday. 1t said:
"James Cover of Truro, who bought
Joe Sims cactus farm, has already
shipped $4,000 worth of asphalt from
the asphalt lake on his property and
expects to get three or four times that
sum for what is left in the gigantic
slough. He discovered the asphalt
when he attempted to manufacture
rubber from the cactus plant by mix
ing the mud from the lake with the
cactus. Joe Sims, the former owner
Of the lake, was well-known ne'er-
do-well about the county for years. He
never knew the real value of his prop
erty."
Yes, ma'am, Pm Joe Sims, but I
amt exactly ne'er-do-well. l still
got $500 left of that $4,000!
