THE TIGER LILLY through their paces. 1 can’t find his twin Harold, who has joined the navy and sailor-like has a sweetie in every port. I turn the old tractor back toward Port Allegany again to get oil and gas. Say, what’s all the excitement over at Mr. and Mrs. Becker’s? What are all those movie and newspaper men doing over there. Oh, yes, they are getting the dope on Dick and Kappy’s set of octuplets. This news makes the Dionne Quins sound like an every day occurrence. Oh, yes, and over there is Helen Lacney out airing her kindergarten class. While over the peaceful valley comes the yowling of Gib Parishes’ kids. Gib and his charming wife Eva live in the backwoods up Steele Hollow; Gib comes into town once a year for supplies, and he has the reputation for shooting any one who dares to come within two miles of his cabin. Senator Merl Dunn is in town today, looking rather down-hearted after a three weeks’ debate with Senator Melvin Johnson since Senator Johnson won out. Secretary of the Treasury, Johnny Myers, is still in Washington. Helen Caskey now holds Miss Dennin’s place as Latin instructor in Port High, while Gordon Chapin is the physics teacher. Let’s go farther west to Chicago, where Fred Brockel, the outstanding artist of the century, is winning awards right and left at the art exhibits. Rose Bosnick and Alice Sullivan, that popular dance team of the stage and screen, are kicking up their heels at a personal appearance in one of the big theaters to-night. Oh, and who is doing that yodel-ing? Why, that’s “Schnozzle” Leet rounding up his herd of white faced steers. He’s the biggest cattle man in the West these days. Hollywood ! What a number of celebrities Port Allegany has produced ! Fred Grabe, the romantic Romeo of the screen, has the girls’ hearts pitapatting throughout the country. He is now making his latest hit with his dynamic leading lady, Dorothy Parish. Jim (Frankenstein) Thomas is working his way through high school by scaring the country out of its wits. Word comes that Lloyd Scherer, world famous naturalist and artist, has received an honorary degree from Oxford for his “Fauna and Flora of Some Place or Other.” He is living with John Kinney on the latter’s Australia sheep ranch. A tornado bears my trusty tractor towards home. I reach the borough in time to hear news of Raymond Flint’s victoi'y as mayor of Port Allegany. Marian Covert and Margaret Meacham are clerking in the five and ten cent stores in town. Up Portage, Virgil Larson is busily engaged in tilling the soil and raising chickens. We’ve heard that Genevieve Maxson and Milford are happily married and raising a family. It’s milking time now, so thus the prophecy ends.
