try out a few male voices and
find enough to fill out a Double

made it's first attempt Sunday
evening. 1t is planned that it
shall assist in the regular ser

ing two regular services each
month. Mrs. Floersheim at the
organ and Mr.. Hanson with the
violin with a prospect of one of
latter's pupils assuming the vio-
lin and Mr.Hanson adding the
cornet should give us musical
features that will make church
services one of the most popular
attractions of Roy.

Last week in the rush of get
ting the paper out we allowed a
mistake to get by. In recording
the death of the infant Of Mr.. and
Mrs, B, A. Beller, we got the
name Becker" The child was
born three weeks previously and
remained just long enough to
gain a hold on the hearts of the
parents and friends when it was
taken from them. Its death re-
suited from measles which have.
been prevalent of late. The Bel
lers are prominent young home
steaders in Union County. The
sympathy of many new friends
found during their brief stay in
Roy goes with them to their
home to soften their grief and
disappointment.

Lecturers Here

The State College "Short
Course" as advertised, opened
Monday in Roy, the new church
being opened for the purpose.
The attendance the first day was
not large, owing to the fact that
the farmers are all so busy with
preparations for spring work that
they dislike to spare the time.
Many came, however and heard
the several lectures.

Wewish that she were wiser,
More capable and kind.
Her path re always stalking
To criticize her talking,
Her clothes her ways walking
Her manners and her mind.
We say" "Oh, highty-ti tightly!
She's frivolous and fiighty,
And all her ways are mighty
Undignihed to see.
She dances and she chatters,
Our golden rule she skaters,
And laughs at serious matters
With unabated gleer'
We chide and we correct her,
We shadow and detect her,
We study and dissect her
With all her smiles and tears.
And find, on looking DER her
(And learning to adore her)
She's just like girls before her

not yet reached the war department
through its military attaches, it is be-
lieved these have been so important as
to demand complete reorganization OF
military tactics. 1t is now practically
impossible for a commander to mask the
movement of HIS troops or the DISPOSE
ton of his artillery. so that henceforth
battles probably must be decided, not by
strategic movements on the field so much
as by the original strength of the oppos-
ing forces Consequently in the opinion
of the general staff, victory must come
to the side that enters upon war most
thoroughly prepared in equipment and
with organized forces.
