If you haven't made your reserva-
tons for the big Old Time Minstrel
Show to be produced at the Caugh-
rem Theatre, Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings, April 20, FL,
%, you had better get busy or you
will kr out of luck. ::
The soloists and circle are ready
and rearin' to go and the Clio or Sec
ond Part acts are about set. All will
be letter perfect both as to lines and
stage business when the curtain is
rung up on the Children's Matinee
Monday afternoon. This Matinee has
been advertised to start at 2:30,
but to accommodate the school chill
dren, it will start at 80, and will be
finished not later than 5 80. The adj
mission fee for the Matinee for all
children of Is and under will be Is
cents. ~
You will recall that the show given
by the Community Club last year was
a happy surprise to all attending.
While the standard set last year was
very high for an amateur production
you will see a better entertainment
next week.
Charles Harrison will preside as in
terlocutor and the stars of last years
show are in line this year. The set
tings will be entirely different; the
songs will be new, and jokes of the
end men-well you had better be
there to protect your reputation as
about rs of the local celebrities of
the city have a personal surprise in
store.
The work of the Circle last year
disclosed the fact that "Main Street
has an abundance of male musical
voices-not of the Barber shop tenor
variety, but the real kind. These
voices blend in beautifully this year
with the work of the solo artists.
There will be sentimental ballads
popular song hits, Rag Time stuff BY
the end men and southern melodies.
The Second Part will start without
a moments delay when Herman
Krohm and Joe Kusba will offer E

Ell, Light and Power Commission,
Tuesday evening Of this week, rad
ical change was made in the cperat-

BILE by the greater simplicity of opera
ton Of the new water system INSTALL
ed in 1923 and 1924; and also by the
taking over by the Secretary's Of
flee, many of the duties of the form
err Waterworks Superintendent. Under
the new plan the services Of one en-
giner, James Rogers, will be dispens-
ed with after May LIST.
The Commission appointed the fol
lowing men for the positions named
Superintendent of Light and Water,
j. N. McGibbon, with a salary of
$145 per month; Chief engineer, Os-
car Holman, Salary $110; Second en-
gineer, Ed Holman, Salary $11O;
Water and General utility, Geo.
Rice, Salary $110. V. T. Conklin was
appointed secretary of the Commits
sion at salary. of $50 per month.

Animal Life on Everest

Animal life, it appears, is to be
found on high mountains far beyond
plant growth. The highest growing
plant that the Mount Everest expe-
dition of 1924 observed was the blue
vetch, at $4,000 feet, but animals live
at as great height as $4,000 feet.

spider" says member of the expedi-

First "Boucaniers''

The name "buccaneer" was given to
piratical English, Dutch and French
adventures, united in their opposition
to Spain, who maintained themselves
chiefly In the Caribbean sea during the
Seventeenth century. The first of the
class were French settlers, whose oc-
cupation originally was hunting the
wild cattle on the islands, especially
Hispaniola, and preserving the flesh
at little establishments called "bou-
cans" they being known as "bou-
GAMERS" After being driven from
these pursuits by the Spaniards, these
boucaniers took to piracy, particular
ly upon Spanish vessels, and to raid
ing Spanish settlements on the islands
and mainland. Their career closed
about 100.
