I am in favor of Mayor Baxter's re-elec-

been a very able one and under it the

has been very marked. He has person

any other candidate for mayor, we know
that Mr.. Baxter will make a good one.
That has been demonstrated

am certainly in favor of him myself.

You can say for me that am for Mayor
Baxter straight out from he shoulder.
His advocacy of the revision of the city
charter and thereby endeavoring to get
our city government into more business
like organization, his foresight in advo-
eating a uniform development of our park
system as outlined in his we'll known
ideas and desires, and the devotion that
he has shown for the city's welfare, in
every way entitle him to reelection. |
think when man of Mayor Baxter's
standing is willing 10 give his whole
time to the city. we want him for mayor
just as long as we can have him.

ORPHAN ASYLUM PRIMARY.
The Little Ones Treated to Stories of
the Great War.

The exercises at the Orphan Asylum
Primary at Nineteenth and l. streets
We're of a very interesting nature, made
more so by the eager interest shown by
the pupils to absorb history as told by
the squad of Grand Army men who were
present
The Orphan Asylum Primary is one
of the best drilled schools in the city,
and too much credit cannot be given to
the Principal, Mrs. Bassett, though she
modestly says you could not have ac-
complished good results without good
material.
After the programme, which was an
excellent one, had been finished j. H.
johnson, a member of the Grand Army,
talked to the children about things they
could and did understand, and wove for
them a story of the love of country
founded upon the love of home.
Mr. Johnson was a capital story teller
and the lesson he gave those orphaned
little people will not soon be forgotten
The greatest interest was shown by the
little faces. many of which reflected ex-
traordinary intelligence, and after the
address was concluded the chill
dren surrounded the old soldiers ano
literally drank down the stories of wal
and peace, of battle and homecoming
