to even the larger t cities, are on
Buster's board.; ' J

the rows in which Buster's board

until. nothing- is I left of it except
the tag reading . "Passed by the

lating headings; as: 'Poetry and
Ranking." "Dumas - Centenary";
"Estimate of Masefield"; as well
as a number of poetry lead's.
The September issue is partic

One special ' group is entitled
"Beating Wings," Annice Kelland
of Port Au Prince, Haiti, having
written the verses, most of which
are in a nature, vein.' '
Dorothy 'Hawley Cartwrighfs
"Songs of Life" are well worthy
of a second reading. "Relief and
Refuge," a third group, by
Blanche O'Neil, are not to be
passed over lightly.
Among single poems, outstand
ing among the f titles are: "How
Old?"; "To Mary", "Autumn",
and "Lucifer." "How Oldf" by
Ruth Fargo is reprinted from Mc

The Covered Wagon" ,
Still Going Strong
Three day of- afternoon, and

Yesterday again the Liberty

in the Grand' for both afternoon
and evening performances. . ToUay"
a supplemented force of ushers i
will be on hand, to -insure orderly
and prompt seating of all of those
who attend at either of the two

run the plcmture today to help
handle the crowds.' ' '
-Yesterday a few more of the
