WANTS TO GET IN THE GAME
E. W. Parker a few days ago disclos
ed what he claims to be a patterns
n new boat. Ed. is the designer an.
buiider of the new craft an.l at th
last interview he seemed to be sorely
distressed because of the fact that he
failed to make his design for a larger
ship. The ship with her present plan
for construction will he able to hold
her own with any of her class and
will be equiped with power enough for
towing purposes, therefore the Sap
phire and Vega need not entertain an}
fears so long as the new ship an !
owner is on the high seas, as she will
be equiped with a tow line and Ed
will always be glad to come to !he
assistance of a friend in distress.

a minor affair,
JOAN OF ABC
War had -b-vastefl France for more
than a century. The very race was
>•: the verg ■ of losing its national ex
stance. t ‘hat moment a little
peasant girl appeared. She picked
up the great sword of conquered
Franec and making her tender breast ’
o bulwark against so many miseries,
she drew from the enegry of her faith
the force to wrest her land from the
victorious English. “J come on be-j
half of our Lord, God,” she said,“to
save the kingdom of France,” and
she added: “It is for this that I was!
born.” The holy maid was indeed
born for this. For this also, basely
betrayed to her enemies, she died a
midst the horrors of the most cruel :
texture, abandoned by the King whom
she had crowned, and by the people;
whom she saved. This gigantic fea- j
tore is the first of a series of big \
productions that will be shown at !
the Dream in the near future. Say,
boys and girls, keep in mind those
Jitney Busses, the voting contest will
soon be on. adv.
