happiness and will continue a JOY on
through the years. To you as a club,
to all my co-workers on the board,
extend my sincere appreciation for the
support and help given; without that
the club year could not have been the
success and pleasure it has. I trust
that our club will continue to broaden
and expand and that each individual
member will ever feel it duty to live
to her highest in all things and lend a
hand as best she can to all others for
this same end. Let MS as club take
for a motto these words from an old
book:
"'Son. to be a true knight is to re-
mem Der the miserable, the tempt
ed and the poor. to consider the
comfort of dependents and the over
looked ones in life's road, to strive to
ease the sick. and the unhappy, to
shelter the houseless, to teach the ig-
norant, to raise up those who have
wandered and got trodden under foot.
Always to give thy hand and thy word
of cheer, even though thine own heart
be sore. Above all, son, to make thy
self least of ALL"

Ruddy Mars is Monarch of the Ceru.
lean Dome in the Present Month.
Ruddy Mars is the monarch of the
skies in the month of May and his
reddish color makes him clearly dis
cernible as he whirls through the dark
blue abyss of the armament Mars is
now the sole planet of the eventide,
and this week is in excellent position
for observation.
The new moon hung it's silver cres-
cent in the western skies on May 4.
Tonight shall see the full moon, and
on next Thursday night, the last quar-
ter will be seen. The moon of May is
one of, unusual loveliness; it is, the
moon of the Persian poet, a moon of
oriental influence Atmosphere seems
to be favorable for the influences of
mystic beauty. and wanderers abroad
under the May moon in this fragrant
month will feel It's gentle power.
Only the early bird and the ambiti-
Gus fisherman see Mercury, Saturn
and Uranus. Jupiter is also paying his
respects to the sun, and is lost in the
blazing glory of that cverpowering lu-
minary. Venus is also coquetting with
greatness and has lost Importance by
her .nearness to the god of day. Mer-
curry Uranus and Saturn are visible
in the wee small hours between mid
night and sunrise.
None of the planets of royal bril-
liancy are at their best just now. Nep-
tune is in retirement from the field
of action and at distance that makes
him invisible. He will not be seen
until summer is we'll on it's way.

unproductive farm, was compelled
to add to his slender resources by

field hands calmly resting under a

know I'll quit the law and let you
