Nearly all of the refugees had what

of them were practically penniless and
these were given assistance by the San

time may come a new birth of the
sentiment of unity. | do hope that in
the midst of all these troublesome con-
ditions, we have a better realization
of our national strength and of the
import of our democratic institutions.
The boy is going to thrill at the
sight of the flag today just as he did
80 or 100 years ago. We are all going
to thrill when we hear the words of
our national hymn and when we think
of the long years of struggle and de-
termination that have brought us to
this hour. But we want something
more than thrills in our patriotism;
we want thought, we want intelli-
gence
I'VE need not vast extent of terri
tory. not great population, not simply
extraordinary statistics of national
wealth. although they speak in elo-
luent words of energy and ability, but
what we need more than anything
else is an intelligent comprehension of
the ideals of democracy. These ideals
are that every man shall have a fair
and equal chance according to his
talents 1t is not an ideal of democracy
that one alone shall emerge because
of capability. but that there shall be
a great advance of the plain people
of the country, upon whom the pros
perity of the country depends.
I'VE deplore every condition in which
we find man lower than he should be
under a free government. We want
victories of democracy that the level
of success shall be raised.
My dream of America is America
represented in public office by its best
men. men working entirely for the
good of the republic and according to
the laws and ordinances established
by the people for the government OF
their conduct. and not for their per-
sonal or political desires and ambl-
tons: America working her institu
tons as they We're intended to be
worked, with men whose sole object
shall be to secure the end for which
their offices were designed.
And. if one will throw his personal
fortune to the winds, if he will per-
form in each place, high or low, the
manifest obligations of that place, we
will soon have those victories of de-
mocracy which will make the Fourth
of July in its coming years far flnel
and nobler day than it has ever beer
in the fortunate years of the past

PROMINENT YOUNG PEOPLE
ANNOUNCE ENGAGEMENT

One of the most enjoyable affairs
of the holiday season was the five
hundred party given by Miss Cora
Cora Cresswell last Saturday after
noon. The younger set and a large
crowd of young matrons participated
in Miss Creswell's hospitality. The
house was very artistic in its decora-
tons of blue birds, that emblem Of
happiness being used throughout the
entire decorative scheme. After the
cards the guests enjoyed a delicious
two course luncheon. The climax Of
the happy affair came when each
guest held card over a tiny candle
and found written thereon Engaged,
Cora Creswell and Herman Kahl."
Miss Creswell's friends have known
of this for some time, but it had not
been announced until this date. Mrs.
Wheat of Flagstaff was the out Of

MANY SOCIAL AFFAIRS IN

Already the Christmas Seniors are
realizing the demands of the strenu-
GUS life. Socially they occupy the
center of the stage for this week has
contributed many affairs in their hon
or. One most delightful affair was
the dinner given for their pleasure at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. T. E. Pol
lock. A time honored custom it has
become in fact, for the Seniors at he
holiday season and in May as well, to
be entertained at the Pollock home.
Very attractive were the rooms on
this occasion last Friday the eighth,
for the dainty tables bore evidence of
thoughtfulness on the part Of the
hostess; each table held a center
piece of jonquils--the class flower and
at each guests place was a dainty
favor representing in miniature, the
flower chosen by the class as their
own. Most appetizing was the dinner
served in five courses and at the con-

WEATHER MAN AND THE
WOMAN'S CLUB TANGLE

Surely the weather man forgets the
Woman's Club when he makes up his
calendar for the year. General Club
must always be written up with an
apology for attendance and what
more natural than to condemn the
weather. Last Saturday, therefor we
would state was SO disagreably windy,
that only about twenty-five responded
to roll call of the secretary.
Mrs. Griffin, the president, presided
at the meeting and after roll call,
asked for reports from the various
committees. Perhaps the most inter
esting report was from the chairman
of the Building Funds. Mrs. Breen,
in her eport gave an insight into the
rapid growth Of the fund and while
not making a direct plea for more, it
is an understanding among all men,
beers, that the chairman will accept
any donations.
Various departments are contribut-
ing with the assurance of more as the
club year goes forward.
An item not overlooked by the club
was the support of the Library. Re
alizing the building of club house
is a more remote task for them, the
club does not intend to neglect the
work taken over by them in support
ing the only Library and Reading
room of the town. The funds in the
treasury of this institution are low
and the proceeds from the picture
shows are not quite adequate to meet
expenses, hence on Saturday vote
was carried TO give sis during the
year to the Library Fund. New
names were voted on and at the con-
clusion of the business session the
program was turned over to the LII
brary Board as the Art and Litera-
ture section had been unable to pre-
sent it.
Calling upon the ever willing stu
dents of the Normal made it possible
to present program varied and in
teresting in a very short time.
The first number was a violin and
piano selection given by the Misses
Haywood and Frost, this brought
forth applause and a second number
was graciously given. Following came
a lovely Spanish folk dance given in
costume by Miss Ruth Bayne. The
dance was gracefully given and the
vividness of her Spanish costume
made lovely picture. The third
number was guessing contest which
was participated in by sixteen young
ladies from the Normal, representing
in costume, popular books of the day.
The members of the club wrote their
answers on cards and after the last
number, it was found Mrs. j. c.
Clarke and Mrs. Harrington had tied
in guessing the greatest number. Mrs.
Harrington was successful in winning
the very pretty prize, the club then
took few minutes to decide which
book had been best represented and
"The White Sister" proved the favo-
rite and was rewarded with a lovely
box Of candy. Both prizes being gifts
from the president, Mrs. Griffin.
A closing number with the violin
and piano, was greatly appreciated
and after vote of thanks to the
young ladies for their kind response,
the meeting stood adjourned.

Donations to Public Library

Donations from the various lodges
and private individuals are being re-
ceived this week by the Library
Board. Perhaps all do not know that
for the third year of its existence the
various lodges and few friends have
supplied the very fine collection Of
magazines which one may find in the
Library. One lady came up the other
day for Scribner's and said: 81 sure
ly could not afford to take this myself
but never fail to read it here"
Others not barred from DOING so as
the Board will surely spend your
money wisely.
