memorial services in the park Sunday
afternoon. The several lodges met in
their halls at 2:30 and marched to
the park. The services were opened
by song by the chorus, led by Miss
Thomas, Rev. 7. A. Allison said in
vocation. Miss Thomas rendered a
beautiful solo. Chairman j. A. Tai
bolt then introduced Rev. w. T.
Laidley, who delivered the address.
Rev. Laidley is always an interesting
talker and he did not disappoint his
hearers on this occasion. After the
splendid address of Rev. Laidley and
a song by the chorus, the line was
formed, and under the leadership of ].
S. Arnold, the procession proceeded to
the cemetery, where the graves of de-
ceased members were decorated.

FIVE years. Judging from the number
of agents in the field there must be
something in the book business. To a
commission composed of Misses Hell
en- Mckee, Elsie Reser and Alberta
Callison, is delegated the job of max
ing the selection. The task is any
thing but pleasant one.
