QUET THE HIGH SCHOOL FOOT
HALL TEAM
W. R. Terrv is Wanted for Wife
r'Desertlon. Mrs. Terry camo to North
Platte with photographs and asked
tho polico department to help her find
her husband. She tells a story that is
so simple nnl straightforward that tho
police believe it. Mr. Terry camo to
North Platte in a nqw car,, on Sept. 24.
Ho put the car in a local garago.and
registered at a local hotel. In tho
morning of the second day lie checked
out at tlie hotel and lias not been seen
j since. He left his car, his money in
i the bank, his wife and two boys, Mrs.
TqHt says ho Avas kind to her and tho
! ty'.Xf nnd never showed any signs of
j wanting to get away.
Mr. Terry was 3G years of .age.. He
is described as being about five feet
ton inches in height and weighing a
bout 150 poundsHe had a vaccination
, maj-k on .the left arm. His complexion
.was'sandylwith his face Ihclinod to be
slim. He had blue eyes and sandy hair.
' Tlie police are of tho opinion that ho
would .have taken the car if lie had
Wanted to, get away. One theory is that
his hiind, Became deranged and that ho
huM wandered away. Some have said
'ltanIglitV.be fpul play .and that tho
mystery"' "may never be cleared up.
Arrangements were made tills week
for a banquet td be given by the Chamj
ber of Commerce Directors to tho High

GKT .READY FOR THE COMING
l'LAY. !
... t-
Tfiore Is no doubt that "The Wishing-,
Ring'" Is the best play over put on
by local talent. Thcro Is a thread of
plot, 'which in many ways suggests
Maeterlinck's "Bluebird.'' The story
has to deal with two children, who,
Ilka Tyltyl nnd Metyl, fall Into slum-,
her and go wandering through Story,
Book Land In search of happiness and
finally find happiness at home, just
as Tyltyl and Metyl did.
MJldr.ed Skinner and Mary Ellsworth
assume tho rolos of tho children, and '
rlgfjt cleverly do they tako their parts. I
Old? Mother Goose, strange to say, I
seohis to nt Miss Floy Smith remark
ably ijjvcll. Of course, no really up to
dafy)lay would bo complete without
a slpwhuck at tho suffragists, so Miss
Sarfih Kelly 'becomes tho lender of
thoflady "stiffs" in tho person of Mrs.
Purnpkln Eater, and Miss Dorothy
Hinman does littlo Bo-Peop most de
lightfully. . Tho King of Hearts is naturally
Horsey Welch, who looks and acts
tho P't to the Queen's taste, tho
queen 'being Miss Marjorlo Russell.
Miss Esther Antonlules with her
tuneful voice is Mary Mary, Quite Con
trary .and hor garden of thirty roso
bud girls is qulto tho sweetest thing
in gardens yet discovered. She has
the whole bloomln' bunch daisies nnd
popples, bluebells and roses! and
when .they begin their danco they have '
the Jntest dances to a marshmnllow, J
Then among tho other alluring '
sights will be tho French Gavgtte J
danced with all tho statoly graco of
their- grand-dames by a bunch of j
twelvo year-old girls; tho ballets of,
the Nymphs, and Roses; tho Snow
drops, and llio follies; tho dnnco of.
Moon Beainynnd. a lot of others too
numerous to mention.
Then ihcfo are many catchy molo-j
dies, the alluring titles of spmo of
them belngi. j
"Tho Garden of Roses nnd Love," 1
"Ask tho -Flowers to T.clt You."
"Ddfrt Cry, Bo-Peop," and J
'JTluf Suffering Suffragettes.''
