The Artisans lodge will entertain-at
an open meeting this evening at Moose
hall. Games and music are always
pleasant features of these monthly af-
fairs, and refreshments are served in
hospitable fashion. 1t is probable that
an impromptu literary program will be
given as there is much talent among
the members of this organization.
The interest in the garden clubs for
school children is not tagging and in
Tillamook county last week 22 organi-
cations were effected with an average
enrolment of 80. In the high school
at that place every one of the 235
pupils of eligible age joined and agreed
to take up some part of the work out
lined by the ten projects.
The schools will observe Arbor Day
with appropriate literary exercises and
upon nearly all the grounds some sort
of tree or shrub will marke the event.
In the country schools there will be
considerable shrubbery planted as those
planted generally die during the sum
mer vacation when they receive no care
or protection.
A very interesting meeting of the
Women's Relief Corps took place at
Moose hall, on Saturday afternoon
when Mrs. Rosina Fouts-Evans, of Ore
gon City, department president of Ore
gon inspected the work and addressed
the corps. Twenty-Five comrades of the
post called on the ladies and after the
business session dainty refreshments
were served. A delightful social time
was enjoyed by all. The attendance
was large and the reports of this order
show rapidly increasing membership
of enthusiastic workers.
The churches of New York have
issued world wide appeal to all peo-
pie to pause for an interval at noon on
Good Friday in silent prayer, or if that
is too much, to do some kind act during
the day as an appreciation of the event
that commentaries Easter.
