Bernard Kelley, the new Depart

R., starts out right. In General Or

which q
The post located at the county seat should take
the initiative steps in these camp fires and cor
respond with the commanders of all posts in
the county TO secure their cooperation. In fix
ing dates the department commander should be
consulted so that camp fires can be arranged in
circuits and he can thus reach as many pos
sible 1t is desired that every old soldier in the
county attend these camp hres a meeting
viii be held in the afternoon also at night, and
at the conclusion of each meeting an Opportuni-
ty will be presented for soldiers who are not
members of the Grand Army of the Republic TO
present their application to the post in the
county which they desire to join. This is in
tended TO be a recruiting campaign and the
special features of these camp fires is to recruit
the Grand Army of the Republic in Kansas. IN
this work the department. commander desires
the active and enthusiastic cooperation of the
commanders of the posts and other officers
throughout the department
lola is the most suitable place in
Allen county for such meeting, and
so we hope McCOok Post will come
forward with its usual alacrity and
make early preparations for a big
Camp Fire to be held in our
park sometime in the fall. We never
have had a great big Soldiers Reun-
ion here and this is good time to
begin.
The Library ladies desire to an
Il
entertainment at the Opera House
next Friday evening March 3lst,
which they promise will be very
unique and interesting. The enter
tainment will be furnished by Ewing
Herbert, of Hiawatha, and VIII y.
White, of Kansas City. Herbert is
the editor of the Hiawatha World,
and has a reputation as a literary
man that is not confined to Kansas.
White is the poet and the wit of the
Kansas City Star. The REGISTER
has published a great many of his
poems, among which our readers may
most easily recall "Ef daddy had
plenty of Money" which Miss Clara
WEIGH recited here once. Herbert is
over six feet tall, slim, black haired,
black eyed, looks like genius.
White is about five feet short, thick,
yellow haired, blue eyed, doesn't
look like genius. Herbert talks
about Mothers Boy" in a serio-com-
ic vein, and White recites some of his
home made poems. They make a
most entertaining combination, and
we hope the house will be crowded.
A omission % cents, no extra charge
for reserved seats. School children 10
cents.
About fifty young people gathered

winds tempered their strength and
the early hours were spent i'm out-Of-
door games, while the quieter inclin-
ed played the ring and string game
which has succeeded the old fashion
ed Button, button,". Delicious re-
freshments were served and it was
pleasant sight to watch the decOrum
with which the little maids and men
cOnformed to the customs of polite
society. The young hostess treasures
many pretty menentOeS of the day and
we join i'm wishing that her best hopes
may be fulfilled in these days when
childhood merges into youth.
