SPIRIT OF
OPTIMISM
PATENT

There Is a noticeable spirit of optim-
ism apparent among the business men
of the city today The fact that the
crops are better than they have been
in years; that stocks are on the rise ;
that the balance in trade in favor
of the United States is much greater
than it has been recently and that the
banks are all showing increased re-
serves and deposits indicates that an
other period of prosperity is due.
There is a tendency to revive all of
the old promotion projects that were
dropped year ago, and it is believed
that after the elections business will
be better than ever.

pie, and the work of building the new
club house will begin next spring
The Elks in the meantime had been
agitating the matter of building new
Elk's home in this city. Under the
progressive leadership of John f.
Reilly the project has been fairly
launched. The membership has been
greatly increased. A lot has been pur-
chased on Rimbach avenue, one of the
finest sites in the city, and it is con-
fidently expected that a new home for
the EFks will be in the process of con-
struction next year.
UNIVERSITY CLUB GROWS.
The University club of Hammond was
an organization of congenial spirits
who had the common experience of a
college education, but it was sadly in
need of better quarters than were af
forded by the three rooms in the
Hammond building.
A number of the members got to-
gether and decided to see what could
be done towards providing. more ade
quate quarters. A lease ON the third
floor of the Taper building was Sc
cured and the new quarters were beau
tifuHy finished and decorated.
The new rooms include large main
CluD fOOnl,s IN winch there is nfS-
place, a library. card room, a bill
lard and pool room, ball room, la
dies and gentlemen's retiring rooms
and an administration office.
The rooms will be fully occupied
blythe 1st of November, when the for
NAL opening will take place. The club
is of the finest. devoted to a pure
ly social activities in this part of the
state.
WOMEN PLAN HOME.
| The Hammond Womens> club is an

| of the city which has made provision
| for new quarters. A lot has been pur-
chased Rimbach avenue and the
| members of this organization have TAX
en- steps to raise a fund for a building
/ of their own.
1t is understood that this organ

| it is believed that it viii be launched
| within a few months and that the city
| of Hammond will soon be provided

can be found in any city of its size

The progress that has been made
by the social and fraternal organiza-
lions in Hammond in the way of pro-
viding new homes is one of the en-
couraging features of the citys devel-
opment. The following are some of the
projects that have already been launch
ed or have reached the point of con-
summation.

The University club rooms -. 10000
The Elks' clubhouse building $4,000
The Saengerbund- Fidelia bldg. 10000

volve another $4,000. making. a total
of 5000 600 which has been or is to be
invested in buildings of a semi-public
character.
MASONS PIONEERS.
The Masonic temple is the only
building which has been constructe ed
so far and it may be said to the credit
of the Masons that the members of thsi
order were the pioneers in the build
ing of a new home.
A few of the more progressive mem
bers of the lodge thought Hammond
ought to have a Masonic temple. A
building associatio nwas formed and
the new home was built
SO successful was the project that
the building Indebtedness is being rap
idly reduced the membership has
grown to enormous proportions and the
nized as one of the most progressive
in the state new shrine temple is
ne of the possibilities of the future.
When the other orders and societies
saw that a little enterprise was al
that was needed to make a success OF
these projects they at once laid plans
for the building of new homes.

Mrs. Augustus F. French.

The Monitor gives the following
additional facts regarding the life of
Mrs Augustus F. French, whose
death on Sunday. March 13. was men
toned last week. Martha A. Saw
yer was born in Highgate June %,
1924. She attended school in her home
town until the age of 16, when she
began teaching, which profession sh e
followed several years. Her expert
ence in teaching went back to the
time when the schoolma am boarded
around, and she sometimes had to
walk several miles to and from the
schoolhouse, and many times work
out of school hours at housework or
dressmaking. She then went to Low
ell, Mass, and took up work in a
cotton factory; this she followed un-
til past middle age, taking advantage
of every opportunity for financial
gain she not only boarded herself,
but out of factory hours did dress
making for others. working many
nights far into the '.wee sma' hours. "
During the Civil War when common
cotton cloth took on the price of
Scotch wool of today, she, with many
girls, got the tip of prospective
rise, and was prepared for it. When
there was scarcity Of men she helped
fill the vacancy by repairing looms, in
this way gaining many an extra dol
lar. She remembered receiving $40. 90
for a week work. In 1894 she was
married to Augustus F. French in
Brooklyn, N. Y, and took up the la
Dor of caring for the family of her
dead sister, Hannah, who had been
his first wife. They removed to this
village in 1893, where they built a
commodious residence. which has
since been their home. Mrs. French
was very quiet unassuming person,
but possessed of strong Christian
character, as her life and benefac-
tions testify. Soon after her removal
here, she, with her husband joined
the Congregational church by letter
and has since been a consistent mem
ber. Her funeral was held on the af.
ternoon of March IL, Rev. W. A.
Warner, her pastor, officiating inter.
ment was at her former home in
Franklin county. She is survived by
her husband, son and daughter, E.
g.. and Mrs. Stevens, who reside
here, also Horatio French of Bridge
port, CT. and Augustus, Jr. of Cleve
land, Ohio.

An Opportunity for Patriotism.
Mr.. Editor


Love of country should be taught in
every home in Vermont, and both
young and old SHOULD find an incentive
for unselfish endeavor in the desire
to make our state and our nation
strong and pure and progressive and
Christian In time of war our free
heroism and alacrity to the call for pa
triotic service; and those who have
made the greatest sacrifices best ap-
preciate the liberty and prosperity
that we enjoy. Not only have thou
sands laid down their lives to redeem
their native land, but time and labor
and money have been freely cousecrat-
ed to this holy cause.
But now and always our country is
threatened by foes of ignorance and
selfishness and constant warfare
must be waged against them. Men
and means must not be wanting to
carry on this urgent campaign of SER
vice and instruction. An army of
Christian missionaries of high attain
ments and earnest and loyal purpose
is pushing this. Indispensable crusade
of enlightenment into every corner of
our land. and far away among the
backward and degraded peoples. Our
paCrloC1c sympathy and cooperation
are required, in order to render their
work in the highest degree success
full. Here is our golden opportunity,
while making ourselves and our chill
dren familiar with the natural re-
sources and social conditions of our
country, to trace out the footprints of
! these pioneers to Christian enterprise,
and send forward the means to pros
ecute their work. Our money thus
consecrated to the cause of liberty
will not be gift, but the discharge of
debt We owe to those who toiled in
earlier years for sus, and proof of
the love we cherish for our country
and our fellow men.
