All the R. Van Wi'nkles will get Ape Glands and act like Monkeys.
Don't call the Funny-Coach if you see Old Uncle Oswald in a Clawham¬ mer Suit and a Shiny Hat, Give him a chance, he's only a Young Feller try¬ ing to get along.
Why, One First-Class Gland would have made Uncle Tom run Eliia a Close Second over any Ice Track.
Those Pep Glands can't be such a new thing.
The Prof, must have been Wised by one of the Antique Gay Dogs while spending a Jaizy Evening at some Roof Garden.
Why not take a Gland from one of those Ante Belum Shimmyers and give the Ape a chance.

On next Sunday morning the pas¬ tor will join in the concerted discus¬ sion of the situation precipitated by the Governor's proposition to overstep the laws of New York and a funda¬ mental principle of the Constitution of the United States in his announced purpose to do all in his power to bring about a Referendum on the Ratifica¬ tion of the Eighteenth Amendment. This discussion is to be participated in by thousands of Protestant minis¬ ters throughout the .*>t«te of New York. The pastor is an old-timer in this kind of a thing. He has been in the fight all his life and knows all the tactics of the game. What he tella you will be to tbe point and red hot It is now time to make the Eighteenth Amendment operative and stop the babbling of a subsidized press and a Tammany Governor.

A High School
Community House
(SfK'cial Contribution) (Inc of the questions of local pride is shall Hempstead and Rot-kville Cen¬ tre eclipse Fieeport in its public en- torjiiises? Hempstead is now mak¬ ing plans for a hiuh school building 10 replace the one recently burned that wiil cost ill the neighborhood of $300,- 000. Rockville Centre is agitating it¬ self about a new high school that will surpass anything along the South .Shore. It is known to all who are in¬ terested in Ihc schools of F>t?eport that one of the restrictions under which we labor is a high school build¬ ing that i.s uld-fa^ihioned, uut of date, and too small. It is only a question of u year or so at the least when Homt>- thing will have to be done. The kind of a building the people of the village should have for their money is now worth thinking of. When thcy are taxed for such an enterprise they 'nat¬ urally want it to be adequate for years to come. .So what the building should be and when it should be built .-annot hut be a matter to hear about with deep interest now.
We, too, have to consider a new gen¬ eration of citizon.s. Our boys have come back from the World War with idi in ol' civic i)ride and enterprise awakened by the co-operation they had together and the thing that resulted Iroin it and they are interested in stir- rinir ui> ''t.' community idea at home. Some of the younger community organ- iziiiions are vitally interested also. One of these is the Liberty Girls. Most of them are high school ?^irls, but of the senior class so they cannot be moving from selfish purposes in the present matter. They are showing a fine spirit of loyalty to the village antV school in tfying to interest the fathera and mothers in the kind of a High School building to be cret'ti^d, This F'riday evening they nre having A meeting at the High School assembly room called to hear from a man who is a specialist i'n community work and life. Dr. A. K. Atkin.son of New York City, who will speak on the plan of having a combined high school and Community House.
The girls will seek to entice a good¬ ly number in a truly feminine fashion by serving light refreshments. The invitation is general.    All may coma.
