~Andersons and four Hansons stand
at the bottom Of the Scandinavian

Nagerotts and Schausses, three
Schmidts and two Schmitts. The
Knobs lead the list of Russian
names with six.
In the English name list, the
Smiths stand first with eight names,

 Since Mir. Lewis acquired the Annoy he has fitted the craft up with twentieth century conveniences in the way of plumbing and kitchen equip ment while retaining the interesting Chinese decorations carving and ac- cessories.
 The Annoy is G8 feet in length, has 19 half foot beam and yet draws ! but four feet of water. The craft sweeps gracefully high, forward and aft, in the prefc2t curve of O cres- cent, It is fashioned throughout of Camphor wood logs, cut in the inter for of China and floated down stream to the city of Annoy on the Chinese coast, where it was put together en- tirely by hand, bamboo pins being used in place of wire nails.
 IL is built exactly the same as were the Chinese junks which sailed the waters of the Orient thousands of years ago.
 The Annoy is Of the type of junk most favored by fishermen in the waters of the Formosa channel. Chinese are partial 10 it's kind, not only because Of its fleetness before the wind but because this design of junk is rightly constructed for skimmjng over shallow inland waters.

DRY PARTY IN CONN. IS SEEKING NAMES
Presents Signatures to Insure
 Rights at Election Time

New Haven. May 21 tP)-Taking time by the forelock, the state Cen- tral committee of tho prohibition party has begun circulation in the towns of Connecticut petitions to secure 4,000 signatures needed Tn case the organization desires 10 put q. state ticket in the field next fall
 Under the law minority party which has not boiled q certain per centage of the total vote of the state to enable it to go on the ballot next time has the right to have ticket if it secures signatures equal 10 1 per cent of the total vote polled at the previous election. A basis of the total poll is established by add ing together the vote of all parties for one office, and in the election of 1924 approximately 100000 votes were cast,
 Because the petitions are being circulated there is no certainty that the prohibition party will have q ticket in the field next fall, E. l.. c. Hohenthal of Manchester, state chairman, said today. This matter of petitions is looked after at this time so that the party may preserve it's rights under the law. He said that it might be that the state con- vention would endorse candidates of other parties who are known to 1 be dry" and it may refuse to en- dorse any and put Its own ticket of 'drys" into the field to oppose all other candidates who may be re- garded as wet"
 No notice of intention to put a ticket in the field has been given, MT. Hohenthal said. Work on the petitions has to be started early, as if is somewhat of a task to obtain 1 4,00o rames if left until fall. In the election Of 1920 the pro- hibitionists in Connecticut cast 1.771 votes for their presidential candi- date. The party had no state ticket in 1924.
