MAGNOLIA 
The moving picture show at the 
Men’s club this evening includes two 
comedies, “Col. Heeza Liar Fools 
the Enemy” and “She’s a Pippin,” 
and a Pathé picture, “Nick Winters 
and the mysterious Bank.” Miss 
Marjorie Winters and Miss Isabelte 
Lee of the Ladies’ Orchestra of Bevy- 
erly will play the piano and drum 
respectively, and Miss Winters will 
sing. Members from the same 
orchestra will also furnish music for 
the dance next week. The series of 
lectures, which was to have been 
given at the clubhouse Monday, 
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of 
this week by Col. French were aban- 
doned owing to the serious ilness of 
the speaker’s wife. It is hoped that 
he may be secured for some later 
date. ‘The bowling, the chess and the 
checkers tournaments are arousing 
great interest this month. Rev, Mr. 
Libby, the manager is engaged in 
raising a fund of $2250 before Sep- 
tember 7, upon the success of which 
depends the donation of $750 by a 
friend of the club to make up the 
$3000 necessary to pay the notes, 
which have accumulated during past 
years, and the interest on tne mort- 
gage for the year, as well as the three 
year’s insurance, which is due this 
coming winter. If these debts are 
paid off the club will be enabled to 
start next season, encumbered only 
by the mortgage of $11,100. | Dur- 
ing the first year of the club’s his- 
tory, it was self-supporting despite 
its heavy mortgage, but the less fa- 
vorable summer resort conditions 
during the last two years have re- 
sulted in losses, which Rev. Mr. 
Libby is trying hard to make up. His 
courage and perseverance will un- 
doubtedly be rewarded by the suc- 
cess, which he and the club, in which 
he has always been interested, so 
richly deserve. Friends of the club 
are invited to rally to its support at 
this time. 
Miss Mary Boyd is enjoying a

return home in a day or two from

“Nosopy Home. 
The social event of the year will be 
the opening of the Wilbur Theat«-, 
Monday evening, August 23d, with the 
nusical comedy success “Nobody 
Home,” which will be presented by 1. 
Ray Comstock and Elisabeth Mar- 
bury, direct fron a run of <ix months 
in New York, with the original New 
York cast headed by that inimitab'e 
English comedian, Lawrence Gros: 
smith. 
“Nobody Home” is best described 
a: a wealth of delightful, syncopating 
music, with a dash of pretty girls, the 
very newest thing in modern dancing 
and a cast of artists. One of the 
principal features of the production }5 
the dancing done by Quentin Tod and 
Helen Clarke, the latest find of Eliza- 
beth Marbury, who for several years 
ranaged and was responsible for the — 
success of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Cas- 
tle. Mr. Tod and Miss Clarke have 
three feature dances—a dainty mili- 
tary dance, which is the reigning fad 
in New York at the present time, a 
new one-step and a cake-walk. 
Miss Anne Morgan, daughter of the 
te J. Pierpont Morgan, has _ pur- 
chased a box for the opesing perform- 
ance. Governor Wal:.. and Mayor 
Curley will occupy boxes and all the 
smart set from the North Shore and 
Newport will be on hand Monday 
evening, August 23d. 
State BoArD OF AGRICULTURE 
REPORT. 
The annual report of the secretary 
of the State Board of Agriculture his 
just come from the press and may be 
obtained by application to the secre- 
tary, at 136 State House, Boston. 
The book this year is a volume of 687 
pages of reading matter and 54 pages 
of illustrations. In addition to a re- 
view of the year 1914 from the farm- 
ers’ standpoint, which is contained in 
the report of Secretary Wilfrid 
Wheeler, the book is full of solid and 
valuable information for farmers. 
Cranberry Growing, Rat Riddance, 
Farm Sewage Disposal, Cooperation 
in Fruit Growing in Nova Scotia, Al- 
falfa Growing, Farm Water Supplies 
from the Health Standpoint, are 
among the topics treated, each one by 
experts. There is a very brief, clear 
R. E. Henderson 
57 
and practical article on “The Home 
Vegetable Garden” by Allen French, 
containing a map for the layout of a 
garden 165x100 feet, and this article 
should prove useful to both suburban- 
ite and farmer. 
Wuy Eprrors TAKE VACATIONS. 
Flowery and long is the wedding 
notice which the editor printeth. The 
minister getteth 10 bones. The 
groom standeth the editor off for a 
12-month subscription. All flesh is 
grass and in time the wife is gather- 
ed into the silo. The minister getteth 
his bit. 
The editor printeth a death notice, 
two columns of obituary, three lodge 
notices, a cubit of poetry and a card 
of thanks. And he forgetteth to read 
proof on the head and the darned 
thing cometh out “Gone to Her Last 
Roasting Place.” And all that are 
akin to the deceased jumpeth on the 
editor with exceeding great vigor. 
And they pulleth out their ads and 
swing the hammer unto the third and 
fourth generations. — Noble County 
Leader. 
As A REMINDER. 
Frances was finding it tiresome to 
be kept in on a rainy day. After sey- 
eral futile appeals to be allowed to 
go out, she said emphatically: “Weil, 
I am going to leave this house and 
never come back.’ ‘Thinking to 
frighten her out of the idea I said: 
“Very well, then we'll pack your 
clothes.” “No,” was the calm reply, 
“T think I will leave them here so 
you can always remember just how 
big I was when I left.” 
Cummings and Weisner were busi- 
ness rivals. One day at tne club they 
fell to talking. 
“Do you carry any life insurance?” 
queried Cummings. 
“Ves,” was the answer, “I have 
$10,000.” 
“Made payable to your wife?” 
asked Cummings. 
“Yes,” said Weisner. 
“Well,” asked Cummings, “what 
kind of an excuse do you pull off to 
your wife for living?”—E-xchange. 
PANTHEISTIC. 
“You admit you are guilty, then,” 
thundered the judge. 
“Ah do, Jedge. Ah’s guilty. Ah 
stole dem pants. But, your honah, 
dere ain’t no sin when de motive am 
good. Ah stole dem pants to get bap- 
tized in.”
