Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-12-01

Perhaps the best show that has
come to Douglas for some time will
be staged tonight at the Grand
theater, the curtain at 8:15 p. m.
Three Wise Fools, a three act
comedy, will corvulse any audience
with laughter as the lines are very
humorous.
Three bachelors and q pretty girl
will form the nucleus of a well bal
anced cast and one will not be dis.
appointed when he sees this attrac-
ton. Ordinarily this show does no;
play in any but the larger cities
but the KiWanis club billed it last
May through a booking agent.
The .KiWanis club of Douglas is
sponsoring Three Wise Fools and is
under heavy expense in bringing this
play to Douglas.
The seat sale has been unusually
good the last few days. Every XII
wanian is boosting this production
and if one wishes to know something
about the show call the Owl drug
store.
At the luncheon today Kiwanians
will arrange the final details anc
check in on the tickets. Every mem.
Der should be present and give d
complete report.
The following specially selected
New York cast of players will head
the bill tonight:
Carson, Davenport, Edwin Brady,
Henry Herbert, Betty Reynolds, Eva
Sargent Robert White, Theodore
Newton, Jack Ball, Clede Brown and
Philip Madison.
This comedy has been playing to
crowded houses for nearly two years
and Douglas theatre-goers are as
sured of a real treat tonight There
are few good seats left on tbs
lower floor and a few loges, but
it is expected that the gallery will
be at a premium as delegations
from Bisbee, Tombstone and Fort
Huachuca expect to attend.

CITY PARKS ARE
TOBE PLANTED
WITH new TREES

New trees are being planted in the
city parks at this season and old
dead or diseased trees are being dug
out, cut up and hauled away In
both the 10th and 18th street parks
this work is being pushed rapidly.
Plans for this fall call for the plant
ing of miniature forest in the
northwestern section OF the 18th
street park which has in the past
had only O. double row of trees
This work will be carried on grad
ually with a number Of new trees
going in this fall and larger number
next fall until the grounds are full
of trees. The pruning of all the
trees is done every year at this time
and is very big job as the larger
trees are very hard to get at and
even when the big limbs are cut
down they present quite a problem
in transportation.
Park commissioners report that a
new system is to be used this year
in the care of the trees. This system
is recognized one and is the use
of great amount of water for the
trees during the winter months. It
is a matter of fact that trees heavily
waJered during the winter months
do better the year around than trees
watered only in the summer months
The park commission reports that
the parks will be made to present,
in another year, a more beautiful
aspect than they ever have before as
great care and thought ! is to be
expended upon them during the COM
inG months to the end that they
will be a source of pride to the city
and an advertisement to all visitors
from the outside world.

FORD SECRETS
OF NEWMODEL
OUT TOMORROW

Douglas will get its full description
of the new line of Ford automobiles
tomorrow.
A public reception to be held by
local dealers is a part of the national
introduction of the new Ford models.
In thousands of communities all over
the United States tomorrow this new
line of moderate priced light auto
mobiles will be introduced to millions
! of people,
The doors of the showroonls are to
be opened promptly at 8 O'Clock in
| the morning and attendants will be
on hand throughout the remainder
of the day to explain the new, and
interesting features of the car which
lis expected to make a new chapter
/ in the automotive history.
The new Ford scars are said to
be the product of several years OF
study and planning by Henry Ford
and his engineers in the great Ford
laboratories at Dearborn. Mr.. Ford
himself has announced that Sthere
is nothing quite like the new Ford
car" and has stated that it will
prove. just as great a pioneer in the
present field of low price light cars
of quality as the famous model I
! was a pioneer in its field for more
than 19 years.
! Among the visitors to the reception
tomorrow will be many city officials
executives of business, civic and pro-
fessional organizations and other
leaders in the life of the community
who have been specially invited.
! The performance, of these new cars
it is said, will be. startling when
viewed in the light OF automobile
performance of the past.
} Local dealers have been notified
by Ford officials at Detroit that the
factories throughout the country are
now preparing to produce the new
cars in numbers exceeding even the
tremendous product ion records
achieved in the manufacture of the
model T line.
/ Company officials at Detroit also
repeated their early announcement
that production of the new Ford line
will not make the model T line
obsolete. The manufacture Of new
parts for the model T requirements
will continue to be an important
factor OF the Ford plants as long as
any of the model IT cars are still
in operation, the local dealers were
advised. Because of this policy
present owners of model T Ford cars
will be able to keep their cars in
perfect order as long as those cars
remain in commission.

WATER TANK IS
TO BE- CLEANED
AND REBRACED

sThe city water department is pre-
pairing for the overhauling of the big
water tank which sets high in the air
at the Fifteenth street park and serves
both as a reservoir for city water and
as a land mark which is visible for a
great distance in every direction.
The tank, which sets on tall steel
pillars and braces is to be emptied
and cleaned. The paint on the in
side is to be removed and some new
coats put on The braces on the big
girders which hold the tank are to be
renewed.
This tank, the only one used by the
city water system, is a sort of safety
valve for the city pumping plant
which pumps the water from the city
wells west of Douglas into the city
water mains and into this tank which
holds only enough to supply the city
for very short time if the pumps
were to stop operation.
With the entirely adequate water
supply which the city wells afford and
with a system of pumps so arranged
that there is almost no chance OF all
the pumps failing at one time, there
has never been q need for a reservoir
OF any great capacity above ground
and it has been pointed out that un-
der the present system the citys water
is held in its natural reservoir be-
meath the ground until within few
minutes Of the time it is put into use
by the citizens.

Memory of Blizzard

Memories of the great blizzard of
1883 in South Dakota are still vivid in
the mind of James B. Lazear Of
Omaha, Neb., who was national
bank examiner at that time, according
to the Kansas City Star. He had
stopped at Pukwana, S. D., on his re-
turn from examining bank in q
neighboring town and was warned by
hotel proprietor that blizzard was
on the way.
"For eight days and nights, with
the mercury from Is to Is below zero,
acted as fireman in my room" re-
lated Lazear. "The snow was packed
solid to the second story. Toward the
last all ! had to eat was dried apples.
People in the town were enabled to
make visits to one another by tunnel
ing under the snow next to the side
walk. Snow was packed 40 feet deep
an, so solid in some of the cuts tnat
trains were run by tunnelfng under
the snow. For 30 days trains were
run like this. After the storm drove
from pukwana to Mitchell over the
ton of the snow. The crust held the
two horses, the sleigh and its load
with ease. made the trip of nearly
100 miles safely"

that nobody who knows me would
ever suspect me Of being your friend.
"And you needn't apply to us for

II shall not" said Miss Brown calm
ly. She gave a little smile and bow
and left them.
Mrs. Raxon wished she could walk
like that. She was filed with sud

had never let her daughters know

Bad Peddler Made Good

The yarns about Yankee clock ped
dleis are legion. Perhaps the most
amusing is the one about the peddler
who always sold a clock on the under
standing that he would return In few
weeks, and, If the clock did not run
satisfactorily, would replace 1t with
another. 1t was also his rule to sell
all the clocks in his stock but one.
When he reached the end of his route
he turned back with his one remain
ing clock. At the first house the clock
he had sold did not run, so he replaced
1t with the one that remained. At the
second house he replaced the unsatis-
factory clock with the one he had TAX
en- from the first house. And so on
he went, selling and replacing clocks
that never would work, and waxing
fat on the proceeds From "Hawkers
and Walkers" by Richardson Wright.

Witty Retort That
Put End to Heckling

The late Rev. s. S. Henshaw, print
tive Methodist minister, will long be
remembered in Sheffield, says an Eng
lish periodical. In earlier days he
was an active radical, and did much
to help the parliamentary candidates
Of his party. A little man, he had
cutting wit. On one occasion, at cleo
ton time, his candidate was being
badly heckled by giant publican,
who had come to smash the Liberals.
The member found him difficult Gus
toner. At last the little preacher
plucked his sleeve and whispered:
LET me deal with him" Advancing
to the front of the platform, he asked
blandly: "Now, sir, what is 1t you
want?" The burly publican, thumbs
in the armholes of his waistcoat, eyed
him scornfully for a few moments,
and then growled: "Thee! Why
man, could ate thee !" Il dare say
YOU could" flashed back Mr.. Henshaw,
smiling; "but If you did, you would
have more brains in your stomach
than you have ever had in your head"
There was no further trouble.

Styling himself champion Crank"
George Francis Train led life that
places him among the foremost of
American eccentric figures yet his ca
reer shows him to have been leader
and creator of distinction. He made
a trip around the world in 80 days as
his most notable bid for public notice,
but this was preceded and followed by
many other unusual accomplishments
The Columbian exposition at Chicago
in 1893 did not start off very well and
Train announced his purpose to save
the show. He organized grand
march to the grounds, leading 1t with
u popular belle Of the time on his
arm. and aroused the West to interest
in the enterprise. While the Call
fornia gold boom was on he created
IL fleet of 40 sailing ships for the
trade He went to Australia when
gold was discovered there and the
miners in revolution attempted to
make Train the president of their

to Europe, where he introduced street
railways. During the Civil war he
took the platform In England for the
Union cause and, did much to keep

Tallow From Trees

In Sierra Leone grows the cream
fruit tree, the fruit of which has the
taste of cream and is very agreeable
to the palate. In Ceylon there is a
breadfruit tree from which type of
bread is made. 1t Is said to compare
favoraby with the ordinary article.
In South America we find a milk
tree and a tree that grows In Sunia-
ira is known as the vegetable tallow
tree. Probably the Esliimos would
like to get this to grow in the Arctic
regions, for the early Arctic explorers
had task to keep these people from
devouring all their candles as dessert
after meals
Excellent candles are made from
the berries of another tree which
grows in South Africa and the Azores.

scene, as Mrs. Raxon had dreaded.
She had not raised her voice; nor had
she begged for another chance. She
was calm, aloof, superior. Mrs. Raxon

sourly.
