Jack Joyce did several clever one-legged dances, in which his incapacity did not seem to bother him in the least. Lou and Jean Archer sang, danced, and exhibited several beautiful costumes.

Mr. Chase, we "bother to vote" because we have backbone and because we care enough about this country of ours to do our woe bit to help it solve its difficulties. We are not spineless creatures; we are not spineless creatures; we are not so self-centered as to "despise" the men who are to guide us during the next four years...
