This is a musical comedy full of mre humor unij ? ?_ freshing lines. There are forty or lifty in the cast, all local talent. The production is being put cn under the direction of Miss Hanah Dixon, who is a representative of the Wayne 1'. Scwell Company, which owns the pTsfy rights"tm thi^ popular drams. The woman's Club is sponsoring the nrmluc tion. The./nr;). : <ls wil. go to the library. A btief synopsis of the play follows : In the town of anywhere lives a number ;.l charming young spinsters there being only five tligibie bacholus in tii. place (and these five det. : : ne to remain unwed), tiie spinsters see but ii* tie chance for them t ? ov i .onie thtir husbandlcs condition; . o they decide to orgr.nl/:* a club ii.r the sole purpose of devising ways and means by which they may secure mates for tlnir ionely heart.:. The "Microb eof L< ve*' opens with a grand chorus of charming girls md youtiilv l bachelors. After theii triumphant flourish the spinsters be. iit; a r. vital of their wot s and their hopes. Among the many schemes oxfeicd whereby they may secure i u. : aiids i ih.it of gctt.ng them h em tin various mail order houses by means >.f trading stamps. But upo.: leading the description of the men given as premiums, with the various urehol-J articles quoted, tlic hearts of the spinsters are sadeneil to find them hut r. bargain counter lot and not a model one among then1. However, .Madam Cupid enters with tt?ic love microbes and guarantees it' to puncture the male heart just as the hull weevil does the cotton boli. Derrlnrmnlita itrm-n it,.., i-n..,,-, what .she is talking about. Nothing could be funnier than the little "I.-It Over" scene which will be played between the ai ts. Thi y nave a meeting to di^cu. s the awfuines3 of their left-over condition, but instead i f getting sympathy, they gel only roars of laughter. Tin- second act shows a meeting of the bachelor's club portraying a i ro:....ogic;.! history of man's suf. inr . >m the time o4 Adam, blami . i-.a . '.vcryth ng to the iv.ishicvous activities of woman. The a.; u.ion guytkto lit. c'.uu t . afely \.i.l brir.g pit .sunt mer ries to every secret order man present. Mr. Honpcck, who has been wotking in double harnes- for sometime, viiits the bachelors and warns them r.gianst the- spiniaters scheme to lure them into matrimony. The last act is a garden party where Lhe spinsters have invited the bachelors to meet Madam Cupid. Here the hapless, hopeless. helpless bachelors become inoculated with the microbe. The wrecking of this club and the kidnapping of its members is too funny for expression. The climax is the wedding scene, which is perhaps the lovliest of them all, made so by the dainty little flow, or girls ar.d ribbon bearers. This brief scenario gives you only a vague idea of wh:.t your heme talent will do. Come and enjoy this rare production full of wit, hmor, musia and philosophy. The plot is deft and its lines and lyrics as bright as'spangles and as refreshing as pat tering showers on a hot day. It is the kind audiences cheer and cheer and go to see again and again.

Through an arrangement, with the publishers of the magazine., The Curtis Publishing Company, the local school will keep one half of the i money realized from the subscriptions, which funds will be used in, buying athletic equipment f? r tht 1 ?irir * 1 ! for the boys' baseball team. An interesting feature of the campaign is the keen rivalry that ha* been stirred up between the three : teams, which has been brought about by the fact that the winning team, will enjoy a party atthc expense of j the losing teams at the end of the campaign of one week. The plan was gotUn under way Monday when the three teams were organized. Harvey Akin was elected business manager of the entire three teams and Missis Alline Richardson and Lucik Hill and 11. A. Mattox were made team managers. There are 25, ;"tu- , dents on each team besides the managers. Red, blue and orange are the respective colors of the teams and the i rames are Barney Google, Spark Plug and Sassie Susans. I Subscriptions to the Country Gentleman are being taken at $1.00 each the school being allowed to keep fifi ty cent of each dollar collected, j ! Renewals count just as much as new j subscriptions. Student interest in ihc plan comes from three sources. First, they are interested in selling as many subscriptions as possible so as to swell the athletic fund so that j ; equipment for the school ran Iw had:: second, for each three subscriptions any students sells, he or she will be i given an eve.sharp pencil; and third, the fact that the winning team wili enjoy a party at the hard ? of the losers. Just the nature of the pally . is not known by anvonc. Recc m for the thing? that art to be prepared for refreshnu nts at the party and directions for playing the game* j are sealed up in an envelope, the contents of which no one y t knows. Thin envelope will be opened and i read to ih? entire three teams at tlv. close of the campaign of one week. Every morn r? . during the week 1 the team leaders havi cast up the to tnl number rf subscriptions secured ' J tach and the leading tea. t Is mad.: | known, but not the number of subscriptions secured by either. This infciniation will not be given out aniil the end of the week. It is expected that the citizens of ; the community will encourage the shildren in this undertaking, which, :.side from the fact that It is teaching them to work to earn money to ; buy their own athletic equipment, is ; suj plying them valuable training in : salesmanship. j A representative rf the Curtis Co. ; was here the first of the week to in! it late the plan, which i- being put ; on in school all over this state and j all over the country.
