MERIToRIoUs PROGRAM.

The anniversary of Washington's S
birthday was appropriately observed
by the Junior department of the Sun
church. A program OF exceptional
merit was presented by the scholars
who all acquitted themselves in a
creditable manner. The program con-
sisted of readings, vocal and musical
selections and was in charge of Mr..
Marshall. One of the pleasing fea-
lures was the oration of Jacob Fisher,
a young man who has only resided
in this country five years, being ma
tive of Russia. Despite the handicap
which the limited educational oppor-
tunities of Russia forced upon him, he
has, in his short stay in this country,
accomplished wonders, being Jun
ior in the High school and one of the
leaders of his class. His Grafton
showed a thorough knowledge of
Americas history and great men and
also displayed fervid patriotism that
can well be adopted by young America
of today. The program was followed
by the serving of refreshments in the
basement of the church. During the
serving of the lunch several piano Sc
iections were rendered. The pro-
gram follows: Readings, Ray Teux,
Edna Reichert, George Winklepeck,
Bertha Deal, Inez Snyder. Irma Ar
mould, Anne Barnard Jacob Fisher,
Florence Murray, Ada Van Voorhis;
solos, Paul Lutz, Mrs. Boyer, Mrs.
Dagy, George Hill, Lillian Smith,
Dewey Thompson; duets, Helen and
Gladys Smith; quartet, Paul Lutz, Por-
ter Kennedy. Norris Webber. Yelling
ton Mortimer, Thorald Winklepeck;
chorus selections, WashingtOn's Free
dom and Fishing Song; piano selec-
tions, Helen owen, Bernise Snyder
and Mrs. Peters.

CELEBRATION OF LONG AGO.

How different the celebration of
Washingtons birthday now compared
to those of forty years ago. Years
ago the day was celebrated annually
by the members of the volunteer fire
department. On this day the old vol
unteers would don their red shirts and
a parade would be the first thing in
order. Then there would follow a
contest with the old hand fire fighting
apparatus. The macnrnes would be
pIaceu on the public square with their
suction hose down in the two large
cisterns, which still remain there The
different companies wou' try to out
do each other in the throwing of water,
the captains of the companies stand
ing on their machines giving instruc-
tions through trumpets that appeared
like megaphones. These contests
would continue the entire afternoon
and in the evening there would be a
fireman's ball. At the ball the fire.
men again appeared in their heavy red
woolen shirts and heavy helmets
adorned their heads Rows were fire.
quent at these balls and sore heads
were numerous from disputes over the
work done by the firemen during the
day. Many of the members of the old
Washington, Rescue and Phoenix COM
panies are still alive and never tire
in telling of their early experience as
fire fighters.

GEO. WASH|NGT0N'S LITTLE
HATCHET MUCH IN EVIDENCE
Day Celebrated Different than Years Ago when the
Fire Laddies Gave Their Annual Exhibition
Social at Y. M. @. .A.-Swiss Male Chorus gives
Concert and BaIl-Other Entertainments,

Canton may have exhausted some
of its patriotic fervor in paying tribute
TO Abraham Lincoln upon his centen-
airy, but the ardor with which the
177th anniversary of Washington's
birthday was celebrated on Monday
was in no way stinted.
The day dawned bright and fair,
brighter and fairer than any day of
the winter. 1t was as pleasing and
balmy as any day of the early spring;
one which our southern countrymen
would seldom enjoy through the usual
ly dreary February. Old Sol who dur
ing the winter has so rarely exposed
his beaming countenance, peeked shyly
out from the clouds and then burst
forth with all his pent up brilliancy.
Aware of the occasion, Sol seemed
bent upon assisting the earth to com
memorate the day, and arrayed her in
robe of sunShine, unparalleled for it's
splendor. Citizens whose wont it has
been to haunt their cozy homes, were
enticed from their domiciles, to prom
enade the thoroughfares and to bask
in the warm smile of Sol.
Some wearly of walking betook
themselves to the theatres, to the
dancing pavilions, and to a myriad of
other celebrations, honoring the mem
ory of Washington. Theatres were
thronged to their utmost capacity,
and the Washington Birthday Balls"
were visited by countless numbers.
While the schools, the courthouse,
the city hall, and other public places
remained closed during the day, the
old custom of universally suspending
business was not entirely adhered to
yesterday. Very few of the stores
closed their doors, and in nearly all
cases business was conducted as usu-
al Legalizing Lincoln's birthday this
year probably had something to do
with this condition of affairs for it was
something of test upon the patriot
ism of the business men who have
them close their establishments upon
two holidays so close in succession
In the public schools today, Wash
1ngton programs will be carried out
In a majority of the rooms, although
on not SO elaborate scale as the
Lincoln exercises.

was absolutely untrue that there was
any quarrel between Roosevelt and
himself. That he wouldn't have been

even If it had been possible to be
there. All honor there is, and all the
glory belongs to Sperry. He said the

Junior Boys to Hold Outing at Cottage

Junior Boys to Hold Outing at Cottage
Grove Lake-BasebaII League for
Summer-Tennis Club to Be Formed
In accordance with the established
custom, the boys OF the Junior de-
partment of the Y. M. c. A. will hold
their annual outing at Cottage Grove
Lake. The outing will be held be-
tween the first and the 18th of July.
Cottage Grove Lake has been chosen
because of its peculiar fitness for such
an outing, being somewhat out of the
beaten path, yet comparatively close
to Canton. While plans for other Y.
NJ. G. A. outings have not yet taken
definite shape, it is probable that sew
eral other camps will be organized.
One may be held at some point along
Lake Erie. The older members of the
association are considering taking an
outing at Cottage Grove Lake immedi-
ately after the Juniors break camp.
Plans are under way for the organi-
cation of a Y. M. c. A. baseball league
for the coming summer. 1t is proposed
to form teams of members employed
at various shops of the city, having
each team represent an industry. An
eight or twelve team league is propos-
ed. This matter will be taken up more
definitely later on.
A tennis club is to be former at the
Y. M. c. A. during the coming sum-
mer The enthusiasm of the members
of the association, assures it excellent
support.

ing Rehearsal.

ing Rehearsal.
The Canton Symphony Orchestra has
been invited to give a series of con-
certs in Cleveland.
The proposition was presented to the
members of the organization who at
tended the rehearsal Monday night
and later it will be taken up by the
board of directors of the orchestra.
The proposition was made to
Charles Sommers, of Cleveland. con-
ductor of the orchestra, and came
from Manager Daniels, of the Keith
, Hippodrome, the largest auditorium in
Cleveland adapted to musical perform
ances. Mr. Daniels telephoned to Mr..
Sommers just before the latter started
for Canton yesterday morning, asking
him to take up the matter with the
management of the sorchestra. Mr.
Daniels idea is to have the Canton
orchestra with from so to 60 men. play
series of Sunday afternoon concerts
at the Hippodrome, at popular prices,
on a percentage basis, the terms to
be such that moderate patronage would
at least pay the expenses OF the en-
gagement, and with large patronage,
any where near the capacity of the
hall, would yield a handsome profit
He urges that if the project be un-
dertaken it be for a number of con-
certs, so that in case of bad weather
for one concert, more favorable con-
ditions for another would compensate.
Some time ago the orchestra did
fill a single Sunday engagement in
Cleveland, playing at the Armory, but
a storm was raging during all the
time the Cantonians We're in the Forest
City and the net receipts little more
than paid the actual expenses.
Mr.. Sommers, in an informal way,
announced the overture during the re-
hearsal last night but did not ask that
any action be taken at that time. 1t
was his idea to allow the matter to
be talked over among the members
for time and then if favorable SEN
timent developes to have the manage
ment Of the orchestra take up the
proposition and close a contract.
