with the Cuban government and the
foundation of the dictatorship of
President Machado.
Havana CANDLES in the beautiful
and other classical games of chance,
Americans join in pouring money
over the tables. Havana CANDLES at
the races in an atmosphere that jus
titles the old assertion that racing is
the sport of kings. But Havana and
all Cuba, so far as the masses are
concerned, CANDLES most of all in
the national lottery.
1t is the lottery which gives Presi-
dent Machado perhaps his firmest
hold on the Cuban congress.
Purpose Threatened

the original lottery law, approved by
the United States, was intended to
assist needy war veterans who were

It was intended that the vendor
should receive a commission of 50
per ticket and that the heroes of the
revolution would thus be kept from
begging or suffering. The street or
retail sale of tickets is no longer linn.

Girl Must Go to High
Court to Get Diploma

Eureka, Kans.-Kathleen Ryan,
who fought and won a case against
the Eureka school board for her
high school diploma, will have to
fight the case in the highest court
i'll Kansas. The board, at a special
meeting here. decided to appeal to
the state Supreme court, after los
ing the cast in the District court.
Miss Ryan, a high school stu
dent, was charged with cheating"
in a high school examination in his
tory, and refused credit for her
work. She was not allowed to grad
uate with her class. She denied
the charges and was given another
and more strict examination. This
she passed with flying colors. Still
the school authorities refused TO
give her the coveted honor.
Through her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Leo Ryan, the girl appealed
TO the District court. Judge Ben
son, before whom the case was
tried, heard testimony and decided
that in view of the fact that the
girl passed the second examina-
ton, she "a entitled to credit and
her diploma.
Now the school board has voted
to file an appeal.

sage for the youngster on his way

day; a solace for the old; an inspir-
alton for all.
Every day of the week the
chimes will be sounding their mes

in time; the chime of rejoicing;
the lament in time of sorrow. This
chime will be all things to all men
for it is going to belong not to US
alone, but 10 men and women and

Pleasantville Trust Company
Puts Illuminated Clock on
Its Building

The Pleasantville Trust company
has a magnificent electric illumi-
mated clock on the front of its
bank building on Main street, not
only adding materially TO the ap-
pearance of the busiest section of
Main street, but providing a con-
venience that will undoubtedly be
greatly appreciated by the general
public.
The most distinctive feature of
the clock, other than its usually
artistic appearance and the per-
lection of its construction mechan-
ism, is the complete set of West
minister chimes with which it is
equipped. These ring every quarter
hour and may be heard practically
as far as the clock may be seen.
The big clocks are operated by
electricity from a master clock in
side the building, in the main bank
ing room. This is an especially
handsome structure Of mahogany
and plate glass construction, with
a 18-inch dial, and guaranteed to
keep practically perfect time.
Every minute the hands OF the big
clock are sent ahead the one min
ute by electricity governed by the
master clock within, the connect
ion between the two instruments
being perfect and insuring correct

outside as wen as on the master
clock inside.
The clock is attached to the
front Of the Pleasantville Trust,
bank building at a sufficient eleVa-
ton to be plainly visible from all
parts Of the middle section of
Main street. The clock is nine feet
in height, by three in width, OF
bronze, copper and brass, statIary
bronze finish. Both faces of the
clock are alike, the dials being sur
mounted by the words pleasant
vile Trust Company" in large
Illuminated letters beautifully made
up in art glass work. The dials OF
the clock are 50 inches in diameter,
of pure white glass, with crystal
glass on the outside.
Cashier Dorsey LeCompte, of the
PIeasantville Trust Co. offers the
following explanation of the beauti-
full Westminster chimes, consisting
Of five tubular chime bells, with
which the clock is equipped, giving
interesting information regarding
the chimes themselves as we'll as

with the chic of the Parisienne. They
are dancers of grace in limb and

shoes, and here and there a flaming
hover entwined in the lustrous, wavy
black hair piled nigh upon the head
The natives arrive from the coun.

late afternoon and night, arrange
their stock and go to sleep on mats
spread in some adjacent building.
Just before 5 o'clock the Chinese
truck gardeners appear with their
molds of freshly cleaned vegetables
Then come the native fishermen with
strings of glistening fresh fish caught
during the night. Last of all come
the men with fresh meats-and the
market opens for the day.
The dancers stand out colorfullv
az the buying begins, the patrons
having come in motor cars, more in
