filled the expectations of the theatre
patrons to a remarkable degree In
deed many expressed a desire for a
return engagement next season
The story is too well known to re

tion

Middies Will Cruise Shortly
Midshipman Earl F Enright writes
from the U S naval academy at
Annapolis Md that the middies
there are about to engage in a prac
tice cruise of several months They
will leave Anapolis on June 5 going
directly to Plymouth England where
a special train will convey the boys
to London town for a weeks stay
From England they go to Marseilles
France and from there to Gibralter
Spain Tangiers Africa the Madei
ra Islands off the coast of Africa
and then the boys will be homeward
bound stopping a week at the Azores
and another week at Solomon Island
in Chesapeake bay This brings
them home about September 1 when
the boys will be given a months
leave of absence at home Earl

more than common attention in Eng

countries

complete school census possible
Family cards have been sent out to

sible A word of explanation is due
The size of the school census and
total population of the town are im

town influence in a commercial way
In the state at large we want to
boost for McCook The school dis
trict draws state apportionment

ties by filling cut carefully all
blanks on the cards sent home
