Daddy Long-Legs

at the n1gn SnOOi rlludy nhu oei
day nights was by far the heaviest
play ever attempted by the Circle
High School Few plays present
greater dramatic possibilities and
| few depict more and finer emotions.
The presentation was as good as
could be expected from high school
players. We have heard nothing
but praise and we feel that the
play was appreciated
| The play opens with Trustees
Day at the John Grier Home, an or
phan asylum. Jervis Pendleton,
rich trustee from New York, is i'm
pressed with Judy Abbot, the Oldest
and prize" orphan. He likes her
attitude of defiance toward the Sc
we're and somewhat merciless mat
ron, Mrs Lippit. Thru the sugges-
ton of a friend Jervis decides to
send Judy to college. She was not
to know her benefactor. she had
not seen him but had seen his
shadow as he left John Grier Home.
She was to know him only as Mr..
John Smith and was to write
letter each month in care OF his
! secretary explaining progress made
during the month. He contrives to
! get Judy to room at the college with
i his neice, Julia Pedleton. Under
guise of visiting his neice hhe could
visit Judy. He grows more interest
ed. He further contrives to get her
to spend her summer with his old
nurse, Mrs. Semple, at Lock Willow
Farm. Here he visits her. Thelr
understandings became mutual.
She knows not what to do. Her an
cestr is so difrent from that OF the
Pendleton's. She writes her troub-
| les-the affairs of her heart-to
Daddy Long Legs and at last she
goes to see him for advice. Only
no does she realize that Jervis has
been her benefactor-Daddy Long

The Minnesota fiery cross. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1924-19??, 1924-03-21
CROSS BURNS near
POLITICAL CAUCUS
KassOn, Mimi, Crowd Gets Real
Thrill When Emblem Is
Ignited

KASSON, MIMI, March S.-What
was apparently a we'll timed climax
for Kasson's municipal election eau
Gus held here Friday night, March z,
appeared in the form of the fiery
cross of the knights of the Ku Klux
Khan. The burning emblem sudden
ly appeared in all its glory just
across the street from the place
where the caucus was held just as
the voters began leaving the hall.
Speculation was rife as to whether
the cross was set ablaze by the Khan
itself, local or outside, or whether
some practical joker pulled the
stunt. In either case the spectacle
was just as effective and made the
cold chills run up and down the
spines of some local law breakers,
and some men of doubtful character.
Such remarks as 81 wonder if the
Khan has come to Kasson," and 1T
looks as if those dirty robed Kluxers
have landed here" and others, favor
able and otherwise were overheard.
Nobody saw the cross ignited or
has the slightest idea who is respon-
sible, but the general opinion is that
the Khan is spreading throughout
Dodge county and that many fiery
cross will blaze forth this summer
The Khan will be welcomed by the
best citizens here.
