TO the Editor NATToxA1. fR1BuSE:
Our Corps has lost two members, one by death
and one by discharge. and has gained two MEM
bers by initiation. At the annual convention it
was suggested by Mrs. Bifker. our National Presi-
dent, that each Corps subscribe for The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE. The subject being brought before the
Corps at the first meeting after the convention, it
was voted to do SO, and the ladies OF the Corps
have enjoyed the reading of the papers very much
1t helps SO much TO give clearer insight into the
workings OF the Corps elsewhere. Our Corps, No
5. Department OF New Hampshire, are planning
for an entertainment ON Washingtons birthday,
by which we nope to realize goodly sum for our
relief fund. We have appropriated that day for
our special day, since started our Corps three
years ago. We are recognized throughout the
| town, and are well patronized by the citizens.
