The three who remained true to their club VOWS were Messrs F. Bristol mas ter, H. Bartram fellowcraft and For rest Smith an entered apprentice.

 Justice Should be Meted Out
 In the long ago time when man ob. tained his wife by force it is to be pre- sumed he sometimes ruled her in ths same way. But even this would be pre- ferred by most women to indifference and studied neglect and insult. If the stories regarding the treatment of a young wife of this town by her short time husband, which have recently been brought to the attention of your scribe, be true, or even partly true, the man @ in question should be meted out justice by an outraged community. The writer has long been an advocate of a whipping post for wife beaters and it may be that there are other cases in which it could be used to advantage.
 Fresh Air Children Arrive
 Fifty-six fresh air children from the tenement district of Brooklyn arrived at Sharon Station Monday night and were distributed to various places prepared in advance by the committee of the Sharon Fresh Air Society. These children will have two weeks outing, which should prove the event of their lives. The com mittee greatly desire to place at least an equal number for a two weeks outing upon August 3, but cannot unless more people express their willingness to take them before that time. Before leaving Brooklyn each of these children have a thorough medical examination by an ex- perienced physician, who will not pass any who are vermin infected or in any way diseased, so that in taking these children into your home you incur not the slightest danger of any contagious disease, but are yet laying up treasure where treasure only counts. The con- have worked very hard in this matter and deserve, and should receive, the hearty support of all right thinking peo- pie in our community.
