The Plum street school will pre-
sent Penny Buns and Roses" as
their annual spring operetta in the
high school auditorium Friday eve
ming March z at 8:15 o'clock.
The operetta chosen is a particu-

brief with a magical oven that does
marvellous things in the culinary
art, in fact, it has the power of
baking the years away" as it were
from every person adventurous
enough to take a chance behind its
mysterious doors.
A person of fifty, for instance,
duly invited to do so by the baker,
could enter this remarkable oven
and presently emerge exactly thirty
years younger. The other characters
concerned are the Little Old Wife
and her Little Old Husband as well
as the Gay Gallant, who perhaps
may be described as the William of
the piece, though rather mild one.

MESQUITE BUSH
DELAYS RETURN
LOCAL AVIATORS

A lone mesquite bush looming up
before a plane practicing forced
landings Tuesday evening caused
considerable speculation in the city
for several hours as to the fate Of
two aviators who took off from the
Doupe- Greene flying field and fail
ed to return.
Flying instructor Paul Odneal,
accompanied by Lieut.. G. N. S. Bal
lou, of Camp Little, sailed away
from the airport about $50 P. M.
Tuesday and while above the re-
gion about Tubac decided to dem
onstrate how a forced landing
should be made. Coming to the
ground the plane made a perfect
landing but in attempting to take
off again it was discovered that a
mesquite bush was directly In line.
Having no tools with which to elm
mate the obstacle the aviators were
compelled to abandon the plane and
start the return journey afoot.
After several hours the men,
while in the quarters of Lieut.. Bal
lou, at the post, laughing over the
incident, learned that some con-
siderable furore had been created
in Nogales regarding their where
abouts. At the same time the gar
rison was being assembled to search
for them among the mountains
about the city.
Hastily revealing their presence
the search was called off. Wednes-
day the plane was flown back to
the airport practically undamaged

By these Noucll- CTS it will be possible to check the percentage of home grown wheat m relation to imported wheat the millers have handled.
