SUNSHINE AND JOURNAL CADETS

ounoninehe aie sely happy OVER tne
for the Journal Cadets at the state
fair. Sunshine has not yet received
all it's bills, but feels confident that it
will make at least $3.50 for the good
work of bringing happiness into the
lives of deserving and unfortunate
ones. Many kind friends helped to
make this goodly sum possibility, and
Sunshiners for their aid.
The first one to help is George Biclk-
elhaupt, manager Of the circulation de-
partment of T h e J Journal, who first
suggested to the state officers that
they undertake the contract and
strengthened the courage of some of
the doubling ones by expressing the
fullest confidence that they could carry
the matter thru successfully. tt Q
Journal carried over everything
necessary to the grounds, saving the
society fully 500 for hauling. The Jour
nal also furnished the wooden plates.
the tin cups and many little things
necessary to care for the hungry boys.
Morris Trevor, manager of the
Branch, also comes in for large share
of thanks, for he kindly loaned the
society two cooking ranges, boilers.
utensils necessary.
Mr.; Davey of the New England
Furniture company proved himself a
Sunshiner by lending large portable
oven In which to bake the beans, meat,
pie, etc.. that the boys seemed to en-.
Joy so heartily.
Wesley church and Portland Avenue
Church of Christ kindly lent the silver
knives and forks.
Other contributions included 100
pounds Of rice from George R. Newell
& Co.,; groceries from Green & De
Latttre; box each Of soda crackers and
ginger snaps from Yerxa Bros; lOC
pounds Of flour from the Was burn
Crosby company; five bushels of pota
toes from Gamble & Robinson; barrel
ef apples from Stacey 8 Go, and
Messrs. A. M. Hillman, A. M. Dyste
and Palmer also gave apples Samel:
Bros. gave cheese and R. M. Chapman
and G. s: Bracket sent groceries ant
meat. Mr.. Mandel gave a 5-pound ja1
of butter. The Boyd Transfer com
pany gave a. most liberal reduction OF
400 pounds of sugar, and Keller &
Roenisch made Sunshine the Lowest
where that Sunshine purchased any
thing, special prices were made, which
all materially helped swell the fund.
Sunshine feels that Edward Haws
the chef, and Frank McGovern, his as
sistant, deserve a vote Of thanks, no
only for the excellent meals the,
served, but for their unfailing courtes;
and good nature, even in most tryinI
times. Cooking in the open air 70
nearly 400 hungry boys is no cas-,
problem. Most Of the boys in cam
realized the chef Importance, how
ever, and the slogan around the mess
tent was 'Treat the cook well, boys.
Sunshine has already. thanked j. s
Spargo for saving 'pie day. by lend
the pies to the ground.
1t will be impossible to thank ind
vidually all those who contribute
doughnuts and pies, and mighty goo
pies they were, too; but the society az
preciates greatly the help, and tn
boys certainly appreciated the pies TO
something like eighty pies were used.
With over 5000 in the treasury vas
amount of sunshine can be "passe
on,' and the good cheer brought t
many Of the tired and discourage
ones.
To feed 400 boys was the larges
undertaking the society had ever at
tempted, but with so many kin
friends supporting and aiding the SC
clety the state officers are now conf
dent that they can carry thru success
fully any undertaking to raise the nee
cessary funds for Sunshine work.
The money in Sunshine treasury |
used entirely to relieve the want an
suffering of deserving ones. No officer
of the Sunshine society receive a salar
and aside from the running expense
at headquarters, which amount to abou
$lo month, every cent goes directl
to scatter the "good cheer,' which i
