From a Radio, to Jane Agrtat to Miranda :—take This bedtime story for the sake Of who sends it out to thee, Broadcasting from NMYZ. The program the announcer gives, Is no especial fault of his. From you he only dares to crave You will hook up to his wave, Listening with gentle patience To the latest grain quotations, Serni.ns made the more emphatic By the sputtering of static, Oracics of time and tide, “Wh, the ostrich loves to hide,” The inelodies of flute and lyre, “Wht to do in case of fire,” —.. from passing ships, Exercises for the hips, Gues-ing contests, talks on thrift, Readings by Cornelia Swift, Gem. from Arthur Schopenhauer, “How to garner selling power.” The morons who this program rought To s:imulate the public thought, Are proven by the instrument To «iter little brain content. The Spirit that inhabits it Talk~ but according to the wit Of its companions; and no more, Lest it should prove itself a bore. (A sad reflection on the brains Of our belovéd Johns and Janes.) H.W. H. The Poet Lariat Morro of the Tired Business who spends his evenings at the “All I know is what Will reads in the papers.” Old own Canoes The Joy ofa Really Fine Canoe T the foot of the float is tied an “Old Town.” It rests on the water, grace- inviting. The gunwales and decks are 0: rich, red mahogany. An artistic trim runs from bow to stern. You step in. Lightly, you dip your paddle, and the canoe noves easily over the surface. Then you revlize why the “Old Town” is the finest of all canoes, The true Indian lines make for speed and steadiness. An “Old Town” is the best made, and lowest priced of conoes. $54 up, from dealer or factory. A New Eico Modet—30 ft. Veoaeus The Most Exacting Select Elco Boats E you had the opportunity of vis- iting the Motor Boat Show, at the Grand Central Palace, New York City, no words that we could say would be needed to convince you of the outstandingly complete super- iority of Elco Standardized Boats. Thousands of Elco admirers stood in line for hours just to go aboard and examine the four boats in this wonderful exhibit and astonishing numbers placed their orders, that they might be sure of securing an early delivery. The record for success behind Elco Standardized Models—the splendid exhibit at the Grand Central Palace, and, finally, the way the public are actually buying these boats, indis- putably proves their success. At our newpermanent Show Room, in the heart of the hotel and shop- ping district, you can see all four Elco boats—just as they were at the Show—just as yours will be when you receive it. You can select your motor boat as easily as you select your motor car. The best proof of Elco values is to compare these models with other boats; no further argument will be necessary. You are cordially in- vited to call and inspect these Elco Standardized Models 30-foot Veedette, 15 miles 40-foot Double Cabin Cruiser 34-foot Cruisette, 12 miles 45-foot Cruiser, Owner’s Stateroom Twin-Screw Deck House Cruiser In the meantime, write for handsome catalog or, if convenient, visit our works at Bayonne, N.

A. eS eek Their Order Was Placed Tue teacher of the kindergarten Sunday School class was asking each member if there was a little brother or sister at home who might soon be eligible for admission to the class. One little boy, as he heard the proud responses of the children in front of him, felt that he was rap- idly losing caste. “No, ma’am,” he admitted reluc- tantly, then added in sudden des- peration: “But, we’re going to get one!” The $1,000.00 Title Contest starts next week.
