ranged, which was Introductory to the
general business which followed.
Rev. F. H. White gave the invocation
DR.. r. p. Walker acted as chairman
of the meeting and under lis usual
intelligent and business-like direction,
the meeting proved grand success
He explained the purpose and scope of
the club, which is the study of child
welfare and embraces such lines of
work as hygiene, education, recreation
and moral training of children. He
emphasized the fact that all women of

Oh Cne other Rabbits were the victims
and jack was to count five points and
a cottontail, three.
When the smoke cleared away the
winners had twenty six points and the
losers three and the winners we're
ohesty enough to say that they pointed
that innocent little fellow out to one
of the opposing hunters.
The banquet had been scheduled for
an earlier date but on account of the
absence of some was postponed until
last evening when fourteen sat down to
one of the swellest seven O'Clock
