w. r. c. INSTALLATION

Hall, occurred the joint installation ri
officers for Garfield Post and its auxil-
liary, w. r. c, No. 4e.
AS soon as the officers of the Post were
installed by DR.. J. NJ Mininck, in a man
ner most creditable both TO the Doctor
and the Post, daylight was excluded and
soft, artificial light suggesten evening.
1t was the womans hour. Mrs. Julia
Campbell had come from Hutchinson for
the purpose of installing the officers of
the Corps. a dinner had been given in
her honor by the retiring officers and
the oticers-elect. 1t was served at the
home Of one of the officers, and was a
most enjoyable occasion.
The ceremony of installing the Corps
officers was very gracefully conducted.
Mrs Campbell proving herself thoroughly
capable of the work and No 40 equal to
the best in the ma tier of drill
Every ofticer-elect was present and no
time lost. At the conclusion of the cere-
mony, Mrs. Buckner presented Mrs
Campbell with a bouquet of choice flow
ers, at the same time thanking her for
the pleasure of her presence and work.
Mrs Sarah j. Murray, in presenting to
Mrs. Van Dine, retiring president, the
customary gold recognition pin. expressed
to her the thanks and appreciation of the
Corps for aer faithfulness in the dis
charge of Ler duties in a time made try
ing 10 her by reason OF sickness in her
family.
In acknowledgement of the gift. Mrs
Van Dine made a neat little speech. in
which she gave some idea OF the work
done by No. 40 in the year just past
Flags had been laid upon eighteen de-
ceased comrades, and funeral flowers pre-
scented. Relief furnished to food sufferers
at different points Appropriated $500. OF
course, donations of clothing and neccs-
safies of all sorts were collected. besides
the cash that was raised and sent where
it was most needed.
The chairman of the Relief committee
made nearly 500 calls on the sick and
needy during the year. SO much work
was done at home that space does not
admit a report.
Capt. Fishback. present commander OF
Garfield Post, made a speech highly com
plimentary TO the worthy auxiliary"
and was loudly applauded
Mrs. Buckner made a few remarks urg-
ing No. 40 to let no absent marks stand
against their names this year.
Rev. Harmon, chaplain of the Post
in his usual delicious manner, gave a lit
tie address, and was followed by Capt.
Burgess. of Egleston Post Of course.
Capt. Burgess complimented both Post
and Corps-he always does-and every
body likes that.
After number of little talks all
showing an enthusiastic desire to DO more
and better work than ever before. the in
stallatiOn ceremonies of 1904 were con-
Guided with singing and general hand
shaking.
Comments were all very complimentary.
1t goes without saying that Garfield Post,
and w. r. c., No 40. are in perfect and
complete harmony.
A little pleasant rivalry has existed be-
tween Joe Hooker Corps of Hutchinson
and No. 40 of this city, both in point of
number and amount of work done
Mrs. Campbell admits that lately Gar
field Corps is a little ahead No 20 in
lends TO carry the banner at the next an
