Everything seems in readiness for the
coming of President Taft for the service
of Sunday morning, June 25th at 1920. |
Local musicians under the lead Of Mr..
} Ohm Hills and Dean McCutchan, are
the music Prominent people
from all over the country are writing
that they will be present, and word IS
received from the railway company
that weekend rates, on sale Friday and
Saturday and good returning Monday,
will be offered from all the surrounding
territory. The boarding houses are
planning to receive guests on this date.
and every arrangement is being made
for the accommodation of the people.
1t is hoped that the friends of the
Park will remember that the proceeds
of the silver offering, that is expected
of everyone, will be used for missions,
home and foreign. The original attempt
was to get President Taft here during
the week, between the two missionary
conventions, in order that his talk
might be in connection with this sub
ject, as well in time as in topic, but it
was impossible for the President to
give the Park so late a date, and he
comes to talk on this particular subject,
and it is hoped that all friends will be
as liberal on this occasion as possible.
The Woman's Civic Club, that organi-
cation that always has done and is doing
so much for the welfare OF those who
spend the summer in the Park. has
been especially fortunate in arranging
for an illustrated lecture (moving pic
tures) on the subjecs of The Domestic
Fly" and Professor Waitress will also
give an address during his stay in the
Park on Tuberculosis and It's Proven
ton" The public will be interested,
not only in the subjects of these lee
lures which mean so much to the health
and comfort of everyone, but in the re-
markably interesting pictures, which
will amuse as well as instruct.
A seven ton steam roller has been
performing gymnastics on the golf
links this week. The term gymnastics
seems not to be i'll used when the trib-
ulations of the engineer are taken into
consideration. But in spite of all diff
culties, his work has leveled the ground
almost beyond belief, and when he has
finished and the new horse lawn mower
has been artistically applied a few
times, our ladies are hoping that they
will have the beginning of a first class
series OF, links.
The Summer School opens July 9TH,
with every promise of most successful
season. The latest addition to the
corps is Dr. r. H. Dolliver. of South
Dakota, for the Department of English
Language and Literature. Dr. Doliiver
is of that talented family that produced
the late Senator from Iowa, but whose
home was in this near neighborhood in
West Virginia, so that 1t is to him
homecoming rather than visit to
strange country. 1t is expected that
he and his family will reach the Park
next week. Mr.. James McIlroy, Jr,
supervisor of public school music for
greater Plttsburg, has been secured for
this special department of work. and
the teachers may consider themselves
especially fortunate in being able to
have instruction under so competent an
expert.
Bathing in the lake has already be-
gun, and our young men are seen giving

and every fair afternoon parties have
been out on the lake. In fact. things
