The mechanical toys exhibited by Madame Ze-
| Iinski Mrs. Harry Baconl was quite laughabls
| piece. About dozen ladies. all members OF the
Woman's Relief Corps, were transformed TO dolls,

| even talking. One Of them, representing a poll
highest possible pitch and complained about the
stuffing of the bao-bOx on election day, claiming

| Sinners along with the boodlers and the street

IN LOVE WITH THEIR WORK.
DEAR TRIBUNE: We are still busily and hsr-
moniousy at work, and yeu will know this 10
why accomplish much. We held our regu-
lar meetings all through the Summer. and thereby
If we met but once n month during the hot weather
We held fair in November, with little enter
| tainment, The Smith Family combined. which
pleased everyone and Melted US $40.
You will be pleased to know that our Corps Is
doing their duty in thing especially, that of
teaching their children patriotism which manifests
itself by their Willingness to assist VI whenever
they needed This was the case recently when
the GAR. asked them to help them out with
Campfire In honor of Department Commander l.
r. Mack. On any occasion we find them always
ready and willing to help Us, and we think IL one
of the best ways to teach them the things We would
have them remember. We have observed that
when our children and young folks of the q. Ar.
and W.R.C. are on the program, there will be so
many other young folks to hear them whom we
could reach In no other way. All were deeply In
terested In Commander Maok's address, and We
wish every man in the United States could have
heard it.
Our December election resulted in tho choice Of
Flora Vent for President with good corps of Off
GERS. Our elections pass off quietly and barmO-
niously that 1t plainly tells the Corps feel more in
terested in the work before them than in the honor
of holding office. So many will not have an Office
at ALL thinking they can be of more use in some
other way.
Weare now busy preparing Christmas presents for
the little ones Although we send our share to the
Ohio Orphans Home. we do not forget the many
around US who have not even the comforts of that
Home.-Vinnie Phifer, Corresponding Secretary,
