 Ketchikan, Alaska.
 Dear Sir:
 As Chairman of the Dayton Citizens Relief Committee, ! desire to extend to you and, through you, to the people of ketchkan our sincere thanks and deep appreciation of the material assistance you have afforded us. Please accept this grateful recognition of our practical sympathy not only behalf of this Con,- mittee, but in the nen1e of every citizen of Dayton.
 It is beutifuI tribute to the Ameri- can people when one city will cone to the relief of another, sorey afflicted, with the promptness and whoc-hearted- ness with which the city of ketchikan answered the call Of payton's distress. Our city is passing through a dark period in her history, yet are not dismayed; the words Of cheer, encourage ment and kindly ynpathy we have re- ceived from our eister cities throughout the length and breadth of the land, large and small alike, have frightened the gloom that surrounded and given the strength to enter confidently upon the work of building bigger, better and grander Dayton.
 We shall never forget your kindness to Us and ketchikan will ever be held in fcnG and grateful rememberance by every man, woman and child who calls Dayton "Home".
 Very Sincerely,

With a terrible curse addressed

1t remained for the physician at

She had planned all during the
pious meditations of Lent to give a
poker party after Easter, with cards
painted with such innocent symbols
as rabbits and eggs and lilies as the
favors. Then her mother fell sick,
and 1t was given up.
She would give a May day festival

Daysey Mayme and Her Folks
By FRANCES L. GARSIDE

L. GARSIDE
She grew so sick she was sent to
bed Guests came. her imother
sprained an ankle, her father lost all
his money; more guests came, and
her grandmother died
Daysey Mayme, in her moments of
delirium, babbled about receiving
lines. banks of flowers, color schomes
ices favors. what's trumps, and I am
so glad you came.
The physician shook his head
wisely.
She is affiicted with a germ of the
most virulent nature. 1t is called the
insectavum scenario festiviticus.'
Lysander John turned pale; his wife
collapsed.
"Or. in other words the physician
continued, the Party Germ. Until
your daughter gives that party she
will never get the germ out of her
system
Which explains why Daysey Mayme
with two trained nurses in the receiv-
ing line gave party to her friends
yesterday. She was getting the party
germ out of her system.
Moral--When a woman has made up
her mind to give a party, make no
attempt to resist her. though the
floods come, crops fail, fires devastate,
famine lays waste the land, ana un-
desirable kin arrive. For, having once
planned to give q party she will never
get back to her normal self till she
gets the insectavum scenario festivi-
ticus out OF her system.
