basket social and sale of goods. Rare
judgment had been used in selecting

able goods and every article offered
sold and the prices obtained far exceed
ed the expectations of the ladies. When
the baskets we're auctioned off the
scene became one of interest. The boys
apparently realizing that all of the
baskets contained fine suppers and in
order to get one they had to bid up
promptly. The proceeds in all amount
ed to upwards of 800. Great credit is
due to the ladies for their unceaslng
endeavor to build up and furnish their
church, which at this time may be said
to compare favorably with any IN the
county.

Not So Much of a Joke.

he was always fond of playing practi-
cal jokes, and a French craftsman EN-.
ployed at the engineering works often
became the butt of his humor. One
day Sambourne hit upon the bright
idea of mailing the Frenchman's hat
down to his desk. He awaited the
consequences in high glee. But when
lunch time came instead of attempting
to tug the hat from the desk. as ex-
pected. the French youth calmly took
another hat from the peg and went
out. Then the future c%artoonist looked
closely and saw that it was his own
hat he had nailed to the desk.

Thanksgiving by the ladies of the parish
was a grand success everybody voted it
the best thing in the social line they
had attended for a long time. The
large hall was packed and the pile of
boxes seemed enough to feed a small
army, but they went like hot cakes and
when the last was sold there was
still demand for more. The net pro-
ceeds amounted to sl34, being a nice
item to add to the heating plant fund.
Among those who helped to make it a
success special mention should be made
of Contractor A. f. Darling, of Beaulieu
who is the life of such an occasion and
can be depended on tc see that every
young man who aspires to become the
possessor of that particular box which
represents the artistic skill and accom-
plishments in the culinary art of his
best girl, pays good and plenty for his
privilege. Through the untlring efforts
of Mr.. Lucas the hall was beautifully
decorated for the occasion and great
credit is due to all who put their
shoulder to the wheel and help a good
thing along.

SOCIAL PROGRESS.
What a Small City's Civic Club Has
Accomplished.

accomplished.
All over the United States small
towns are realizing that they, as we'll
as the great cities. have social and
civic conditions and problems which
call for a rally Of citizenship and COM
munity action. How much can be
quickly accomplished in a small city is
shown by the work of the Civic club
Of Cumberland, Allegany county. Md.
which is only a year old.
The direct work has beer done by
the women, but the men have risen to
the clubs suggestions and are turning
to it for help in a surprising number
of cases. says the Survey. The major
part Of the meat dealers petitioned for
the clubs cooperation in doing away
with insanitary conditions of sale
from wagons. The city officials were
interested to cooperate in removing
weeds. The electric railway authori-
ties have been brought to see the need
of a new station and lavatory. The
board of health is coming to realize the
necessity of locating the slaughter
houses more suitably and controlling
their conditions.
A committee of merchants petitioned
for an arc light where d%isorderly men
and women congregated and for the
requirement of screens over fruit.
meats, etc., exposed for sale.
Unfortunate conditions after dark in
a cemetery led to the appointment of a
committee to look after the nuisance.
composed of members Of the church
controlling the cemetery. The school
authorities have established an even
ing school this year, and a union of
forces has brought about a very sue.
cessful beginning of Fairgrounds. Dur
ing the year a committee of men has
put the Cumberland charities upon a
business basis.
The Allegany county schools have
made great progress during the last
few years under the leadership of an
efficient superintendent, and their
service as social centers is being de
veloped. All these social advances are
likely to broaden into a comprehensive
study of conditions and further prog
ress in securing civic institutions and
social legislation.
