ANN PENNINGTON—HERSELI*
(By

O ff
W riting about one’s self isn't
As m uch fun as acting other folks'
selves,
But they’ve asked for an Autibi-
ography—
W hatever »that is—so
Here goes!
I w as born in Camden, N. J., and
I’ve never grown
Very m uch.
In fact they still call me ‘shorty" or
"little one”
And o ther nom s de guerre.
(You see I’ve been “Som ewhere
In France" too!)
And after a w hile I’d danced so
m uch
T hat I danced into a regular show—
"The Red W idow” I m ean,
And we travelled all over the
country
And then some.
It w as fun—but som etim es it
w asn’t—
Such is life—and som etim es it isn 't—
You d id n 't know I w as poet and
philosopher too, did you?
W ell, my P. A.
W hich is pet nam e for Press Agent,
Bless him —
Says I’m versatile and I'm prov­
ing it.
And after aw hile I tried motion
pictures and loved it.
First of all w as sweet “Susie Snow­
flake,”
A m usical comedy sans an y music.
Then cam e the “Rainbow Princess"
of circus life.
I did parach u te stu n ts and other
little tilings, like that.
Next “The L ittle Soldier G irl”
Kept me busy w igw agging all day.
There w ere Boy Scouts to teach me
—straig h t little lads
W ho stared a t the cam era and thot
they w ere S tars
But I liked ’em.
My newest picture’s called “A ntics
of Ann"—
W hich is a story of interest, tin-ills
and adventure.
W riten by Frederic Chapin.
Mnl Edw ard Dillion, director.
Next m ade it a photoplay ju st for
me—
Fancy that!
It’s all full of diving and dancing
and deeds
Of prowess
That Douglass F airb an k s m ight
have perform ed
But d id n ’t—
For I did.

THE PARKER “WAR"
Parker, Or., April 30.—To the Edi­
tor of the Observer—In reply to an
article published in the afternoon
edition of the P ortland Journal,
dated April 25th, and later copied
and com m ented upon by the Inde­
pendence Post, alleging th a t the
P ark er postm istress had been shot
at twice, one of the bullets passing
through her skirts, and fu rth er
alleging th at some of the residents
of P ark er are pro-Germ ans, I will
say th at none of the residents of
P ark er heard any shots fired, and
are not inclined to believe the state­
m ent. Nor do they feel responsible
for the holes in her skirt. If there
are any unnecessary holes, perhaps
a little m oth bit ’em.
The Misses Eva, W innie and Alice
seem to be some of our best and
m ost loyal citizens. They buy Lib­
erty bonds, take an active p a rt in
any gathering for the w elfare of
the com m unity, donate freely to
the Red Cross, and are good neigh­
bors.
'Hie P a rk e r people are of a peace­
able disposition, and if anyone
can ’t get along w ith them , it is th eir
own fault. The P ark er citizens are
indignant over the articles publish­
ed about them .
W hat "loyal acts" h as the P ark er
postm istress done?
