TOUCH OF SEA LIFE Young Man in U. S. Navy Service Writes Deseription of His Ship to | . Parents L Mr. and Mrs. John Kettlebar have received the following interesting letter from their son who is serving in the U. S. Navy. S - ‘ - U. S S Antares New York City - : New York . Dear Folks. Just a few lines to let you kuow that I am feelinz fine and tell you that Sea going is a great life. ' T am writing this to give you = small idea of what the Marine Corps and the U. S. S. Antares are like. I am stationed on this ship for twc

years. . ""Phe Antares was built in 1919 a! HHog Island Pennsylvania and wher she was launched she was called the “Nedmac” which come from turning the name “Camden” around. | ' It was first used carrying grain te Europe and only made a couple ol trips and was much needed Dby the U. S. Navy so the name was. changed to “The Antares” and is now used as a flag ship and supply ship and alsc tows battle targets for short and long range battle practice. ‘ The Antares is four Hundred feet long and has a beam or width ol fifty-four feet the vessel is 18 or 20 feet under the water surface and approximately the same distance above the water surface. - L ~She has a-2500 horse power turbine installation or engine and develops a speed of eleven knots per hour, a knot being a mile and one eighth. - ‘Steam is furnished by three large “B & W” boilers. The boilers are steamed up by the use of oil instead of coal. The Antares maintain a motion picture laboratory making motion pictures to show on board and also to show on board other ships of the navy, she has a paint shop and printing office and publishes the “Antares Star” monthly for the benefit of her Crew.

We also have on board a very fine pand which gives us a swell concert morning noon and night. We alsc have motion pictures, a piano and Victrola and a fine ship crew including sailors and marines the latter doing guard duty and the sailors the work. I went on board the ship at North River, New oYrk City and was there one day and one night and went to Hampton Roads, Virginia, and from there to the Southern Drill grounds where we are now to take pictures of a battle ship while they sink it. We will be here up to Dec. first and then we go into the dry Docks at Norfolk Va. Then Jan. sth we go to Guantamino Bay Cuba and from there to San Francisco California and from there to Honolulu Hawaii and back to Norfolk about the first of May. The ships crew is composed of about 350 “Gobs’ or Sailors and 40€ “Leathernecks’” or Marines and two Marine officers and a number of naval officers, who are very fine men. ' Oh! yes I forgot to mention our fanily pets two dogs and three cats and there will be more than that when we get back from the South in the spring for we are going to get some monkeys and birds of different kinds and some of my ‘“Buddies’ ’are talking about getting some goats and now then if some of you kind farmers will donate us a horse and .cow and some ducks and chickens we will be all set to start farming when we get back to the good “Old U. S. A’ again in the spring which is not very far off: Now then if some of you young Noble county boys want to travel and see your country and also learn join the Marines and you can do it for it is

a great life, but if you do join take up “Sea Going” and you can see a lot more than you can if you are stationed on land. : But take my advise if you get disgusted and give up easy, stay out of the “Marine Corps” for it is a man’s game and no one elses. If you’ve got a lot of grit you can make good and if not you can’t or wont make good sSo use your own judgment. : So wishing vou all good luck and happiness and hopping to hear from you all I will bring this little sketch of the vessel and Marine Corps to a close. “ I am your son : ~ Private Alvin H. Kettlebar U. S. S. Antares ’ ; % Postmaster = New York City, N. Y. - The ships Motto: j “He serves best who serves most willingly.” ' ' ,

He is planning to make it a successful meeting. Come next Sunday evening at 6:00 and hear Mr. Flint. : ;

W hen Liberty Party . - Figured in Politics | The Liberty party was organized in l [844, and its candidate for the Presi- | fency in the campaign of that year | was James G. Birney, originally of ' Kentucky, but then of New York. Biraey was editor of the Philanthropist, an abolitionist journal of that day, who prganized the Liberty party and pamed himself as its candidate. Like gther “pe€rsonally conducted parties, its life was brief. “In the campaign of 1848 it was merged into the Free Soil party and later that and such rempants of the Whig party as were left were absorbed by the new Republican party says the Detroit News. - : The election of 1844 was interesting because of several circumstances. It was a time of violent:argument, of high feeling, and was marked by many and strange changes in alignment. It marked, too,” the last appearance of Clay as a candidate for the Presidency, when he polled his largest vote and came within 88,000 votes of defeating Polk and achleving his life’s ambition. Clay was a candidate in 1820, again in 1832, and for the last time, after twenty years' trying for the unobtainable, in 1844, :

How Lawyer Summed Up Town’s Officials

There dwelt down East a quaint old character, “Lawyer Hopkins,” whose notion of the divine origin and character of justice was certainly modern in its practicality. He occasionally practiced law In a small way and in a manner peculiarly his own. On one occasion a floeck of sheep disappeared and their heads were found in a flour barrel in the barn of a certain man, who was thereupon arrested and tried for sheep stealing. Lawyer Hopkins, in conducting the defense, maintained that the sheep were not stolen, but had strayed away, as was common in the spring. - , . The prosecuting attorney said: “Yes,. I know sheep do stray away this time of year, but they do not usually leave their heads in flour barrelg in the haymow.”

Hopkins went to a neighboring town to settle the case with the selectman, but failed, and gave this report, characterizing the three town officials: “Mr. A—— will do nothing wrong if he knows it; Mr. B—— will do nothing at all if he knows it, and Mr. C—— will do nothing right-if he knows it.” —Philadelphia Ledger. f

Ancient Custom

“There’s a chap -I've been In 8, quandary about for a year,” said a man, indicating another who had just passed. “I don’t know whether I like him. You see, he has a prejudica against shaking hands. He just naturally won't if there is a possiblei chance of getting out of it. He al+ ways manages to have something else to do when a person to whom he is introduced gets ready to extend tha glad hand. That chap says that handshaking is a survival of an. ancient custom that has no reason for existing today. He insists if there is anything he dislikes it is to grasp some stranger’s moist paw and give it a shake, for when he does so he wants to sneak away and wash his own. I've heard him expatiate upon the subject just after avoiding a handshake wlthl‘ some one to whom I introduced him. I almost guess I don’t like him.”—Des troit News.

Ye Puritan Pessimist

Ye worlde is fulle of woe. Ye pathq way of manne from ye cradle to y grave is lined with brambles. Laugh ter is ever wette with tears. An un scrupulous viper lurketh in ye glasse of sparkling wine, or, anyhow, it us to did so e’er prohibition came uponng us. You faney you cannot live withou a certain female, and a little later, b hold, you cannot live with her. You sniffe ye fragrance of ye dewy rosq and a gadsnapper stingeth you on y nose. And thus it goeth, and thus, wot, it will continue to go until y end of time. Such being the case, there is nothing for us to do but hum our backs ilke an olde sheep in a hail storm, pull down our hattes and than providence for what it hasn’t done t us.—Kansas City Star.
