about as follows:
"I-I-I-I-was w-w-walking down the
road a-a-a l-l-little while ago-n-n-n-n
/ met-met-met n-upper class man.
n-n-n-n; he w-w-was dandy f-fellow.
n-n-n-n he slapped me on the b-b-back
and said, Hello, old man! MN / was

dead. "-EXchange.

Rare.
The country around the camp is
most wonderfully beautiful with the
Aiils around and the river within a
stones throw. the great oak trees
for shelter and shade, while the
many apple trees nearby have fur
nfshed good apples for every one. Tho
farmers near the camp have been
most cordial and helpful in providing
fresh eggs. milk and butter and well
coming the girls to the apples from
their orchards. The evenings at the
camp are long to be remembered
ones.with the numberless stars and
no wthe bright moonlight, the cloud
less sky and the cool night air. \
camp fire burns brightly every even
ing around which the girls have had
corn roasts. vicente roasts, marsh
mallow toasts. popcorn and peanuts,
songs and camp fire stories.
Miss Ethel Jane Davis. the physical
director Of the association. is now in
charge Of the camp and besides the
hikes and games and camp fires, Miss
Davis gives the girls lessons in SWIM
ming. The camp is a good place
to get acquainted before the fun of
the coming year begins in the gym
nasium.
This week being the closing days
of camp some of the delayed parties
ne being crowded into the time. The
Arls from the Bell telephone Office
have had n good share in the enjoy
ment of the camp, as last week more
than half the girls spent part or all
the time there. Some of the girls
who were busy in town all day, went
out to the camp in the evening while
others went one or more times dur
ing the week. On Monday evening
of this week crowd of twenty-six
had supper together around the
camp fire, and Tuesday night another
crowd enjoyed a similar feast. On

The Retail Merchant

The prosperity of community depends
upon it's retail business.
The manufacturers can make, the farm
ers can grow, only as the retail merchants
sell, and the retail merchants can sell only
Us the people buy.
When the people buy, and the merchants
sell, cash and merchandise is kept in mo-
ton.
The retail merchant is an important fac
tor, and the measure of his Importance de-
ponds largely upon the good he does. He
becomes an economical factor by rendering
the maximum of service at minimum of
cost.
With great stocks, great variety, great
advantages in every way, women with an
interest in fashions can have the finest and
best at her command.

VOTE DECEMBER 5
OR REGISTER AGAIN
To Hold Registration Under New
Law Voter Must Miss No
General Elections =.

All city voters who fail to vote al
the general city election December s.
will have to register again after jan
uary 1, in order to vote at any elec-
tion that may be held in 1917. The
new registration law requires regis
tration only once in four years pro-
vided the voter does not miss each
general election. Immediately fol-
lowing each general election the city
clerk is authorized to strike from the
books the names Of all those who
failed to vote.
Under this rule there are a few
voters who are not now entitled to
vote at the city election because they
failed to vote at the general election
Nov. z. In all there were 81 persons
registered in the three city wards who
did not vote but the most of these are
persons who have moved away. Five
local voters who were away from home
election day voted in other parts of
the state under the absent voters law.
Their names have been certified to the
city clerk and their registrations will
hold good.
AS there are no contests for any of
the city offices the vote will probably
be very light and many new registra-
tions will be necessary. The port dis
trict election December 2 does not
count as a general election and voting
or failure to vote does not in any way
affect the registration.

MT. VERNON SINGERS ARE
COMING NEXT WEDNESDAY,
Second Number of Redpath Lyceum
Course to be Given at the
High School Gymnasium

The next number of the Redpath
Lyceum course, the Mt. Vernon Sing
ing Party, will be given at the high
school gymnasium Tuesday eve
ming, November %. Seat reserva-
tions may be made at Vibber-G Chords
beginning Saturday Of this week.
The Mount Vernon Singing Party is
an ideal singing company for an
American audience. The mixed quar-
tet gives great opportunities for each
solo voice and allows every singing
effect except the chorus. Equal stress
is placed on the personnel and on the
program. The four soloists are of
artist ability, with voices of beautiful
quality and are endowed with engag-
ing personalities. A finished accom-
PIANIST, who is also a solo pianist, is
the fifth member of the company.
Songs have been selected that have
pleased most, chiefly those not often
heard but always liked, with boun-
tiful offering of brilliant quartet num-
bers. The program is ideal in its con-
ceptions; it has symmetry, it has va
riety; above all it has that element
of human interest that reaches the
heart and soul Of the audience. It in
cludes patriotic devotion and higher
regard for ennobling, uplifting senti-
ments. It has humor, it has action.
