The annual meeting of the Lam
caster high school alumni association

high school building. It had been
planned to have some former principal

the regular election of officers which
resulted as follows: President-V.
L. Showalter. 1890; Vice President
Mrs. Chas. Lisherness, 1879; Secretary
and Observation-Disclosures Webb, 1907.
The meeting then adjourned. The

minds of all who go to Eau Claire to
attend the annual encampment and
conventions, that they must not
neglect to ask for the certificates re-
ferred to. Upon reaching Eau Claire,
these CERTIFICATES will be collected by
authorized members of the society,
and, in case the number is sufficient,
they will be properly filled out and
the low rate given.
While our annual encampment be-

To Annual C. A. r. Encampment at

nounces that if there are one thou

A. r., W. R. c., Ladies of the G.
A. r., the S. of v and other visiting
soldiers and their families. with all
others who go to Eau Claire on that
occasion, all railroads in the state
will give rate of fare and a half.
If the number in attendance. with
certificates that will entitle them to
the lower rate, is less than, 1000 we
shall be unable to receive the benefit
of lower rate. hence it is worth
while to bring the number up to 1, 900
or more.
All members Of the Grand Army
and of the other three orders emu
merated who desire the lower rate,
will, when they purchase tickets of
Eau Claire, when the price is over
fifty cents, ask for a certificate that
will entitle them to half fare rate
on the return trip. The department
commander would impress it upon the

Our Flag---by Elva Dyer.

A. nations flag represents it's
sovereignty. 1t is adopted by it's
supreme authority as a symbol or sign
of itself and wherever it waves. the
fact of the substantial control of that
authority, at that point, is asserted
-. Our Star Spangled Banner means
much to us. Stop and look at the
flag. Behind its field of blue a
phantom procession marches by.
Washington, jackson, Taylor. Scott,
Grant, Sherman. Sheridan, Thomas
and scores of others. Should we not
homer the flag? Again in review
we see Lexington, Bunker Hill, New
Orleans, Lundy's Lane, Buena Vista,
Gettysburg. Missionary Ridge, San
Juan Hill. Again the question :
Should we not honor the flag? Another
phantom procession passes in review.
The sorrowing women, weeping for
the husbands and sons given so freely
for the honor of the flag the martyrs
of Belle Isle and Andersonville the
sad features of the sainted Lincoln !;
the bloody sacrifice of youth up San
Juan Hill. We need not ask our
former question. We should honor
the flag

friends are not true friends; they are
friends of his money. His home is
not a unit.
Let us value true fellowship; let
as cherish the treasures which love
brings to us; let us devote the energies
which God has given as to the work
for which He intended them: let us
not be blinded to the beauties of
nature. Let us listen to the voice of
God which may be heard in every
woodland, in every meadow, in every
glen. In these and in no other shall
we find true happiness.
The Value of Character-.-by Elva Doll.
AS an example of the value of
character Miss Doll summarized the
life of Peter Cooper. She said of
him: every child who knew him
looked with reverence upon his
venerable form slightly shrunk about
the shoulders with his gentle bearing
dAO AODtC OIO WuAbO AOoA' ANOAy
one who met him yielded him the
right of way as he drove about the
city in his plain old fashioned buggy.
New Workers. know the touching
and unique spectacle at his funeral
and remember the unbroken line of
respectful and s1rrowing faces which
silently moved along. Every class of
society was represented in the i'm
mente crowd, rich and poor alike had
the same sorr ,wful look on their
faces. In the poorer crossstreets
women held up their little children to
look at the funeral and roughlooking
and wretched people of every nation
seemed touched with a better feeling.
Not because he held high political
position, not because he had great
honors heaped upon him, not because
he had done sny thrilling, spectacular
deeds nor because he was discussed
in the daily papers for he was not,
but because of character.
Every school boy and girl in our
city and in every other city of the
United States can follow the example
which this man leaves; that character
is the greatest and finest possession. in
the world

ness, no notion of hope or the benefit
of anything or any one except their
selfish and greedy advertisers and
promoters. Never before was the
false and fiashy so loud -mouthed and
insolent with prosperity. Never De-
fore did fiat vulgarity and earthliness
have so much to say for itself, had it
so many voices Of sophistry and self
confidence, such dazzling exhibit of
material wonders, such a clever
chorus of fluent, smart and un-
scrupulous barkers before the big
tent.
And so you ask me what is the
truth? can only answer that the
truth is not go easy to get at. That
we can only wish for the truth, seek
and struggle toward the light, seek
for it if need be with pain, with
anguish and with tears, only
determined that we will not be-
blinded by the complexity and con.
fusion and the hurry of our modern
life and the thousand clamorous calls
of business and pleasure, only de-
termined that the truth shall be ours
and we will be free.
You will see that my quarrel with
modern life is that in the hurry and
scramble and complexity the purpose
of it has somehow got obscured, that
our struggle to perfect the means OF
life has. somehow perverted or
destroyed the end of life itself that
in our haste to provide for the rneans
of living we have somehow forgotten
the thing that lives-We have for
gotten the man. Surely the purpose
of any society is to make men and
women, and the final test Of it must
always be what kind of men and
women does it make or what is more
to our purpose what kind of men and
women ought it to make?
