THIRTY MEMBERS
ADDED TO CLUB
IMPORTANT MEETING OF TEN
THOUSAND CLUB.
MRS. FAWCETT HOME
PHI. SWING TALKS OF BUYING
LIBERTY BONDS.
Series of Musical and Literary Num-
bers Unequaled in History of
the Organization.

The spirit of unity, loyalty and
progress very surely characterized the
meeting of the Woman's Ten Thou
sand Club Thursday afternoon.
The president, Mrs. Fawcett, was
in her place, and the almost full mem
bership was present to greet her and
rejoice in her safe return.
Through the quiet but effective can
vass for new members, Mrs +. B. Full
ler and Mrs. Thomas Beerman pre-
sented twenty five applications, which
with others handed in, will make a
tCtal of thirty new names to be added
to the club register-surely fine be-
ginning of the new year.
Mrs. Horne was very present with
her hollyhock seed, which she readily
sold for enough to pay the expenses
of the home gardening posters. The
program for the afternoon was just
full of interesting and entertaining
features.
Current events We're given by Mrs.
w. w. Apple. She told, in a very
clear and concise way the latest news
from the great world war. She was
followed by Mrs. A. C. Butterfield,
who pointed out our own country's
part in the great crisis. Mrs. f. E..
Clements gave the more hopeful out
look-the facts that tended toward
peace, not German peace, not ponti~
fical nor Allied peace, but U. S. peace,
dictated by our president.
Phil d. Swing gave short talk
urging the purchase of Liberty bonds.
Mrs. M. f. Kepley, chairman of the
Twice Told Tales section, then took
charge, and the beautiful stories, so
well told, gave evidence of the good
being accomplished by this new sec
ton of the club. Mrs Warren Currier,
Mrs. Dan V. holland and Mrs. S. La
rev gave the stories. Miss White
more played two violin selections,
which closed one of the best pro-
grams ever given by the club.

visits and his labors for Ming on the
ranch; how, after he had labored
throughout the day of September %,
he had taken the cattle into the pas

lieved him; how they had eaten in
the little ranch house together, and

while, how he went to his bed in the
bunk house, to be awakened by the
excited cries of those rushing to the
aid of Ming after the shooting.
Explaining his presence under the
bed of Mrs Ming, Vogel testified that
Joe Ming had suggested that he
crawl under the bed, before the wom-

the sixth when their team started a
bombardment of Johnson's offerings
and batted all the way round. Kirke
walked and Byers slammed the ball
over the left field fence for circuit
smash. An error at third and some
timely hits brought the total up to

was safely tucked away.
Saltwater made it 6 to 8 in the
seventh. on a passed ball by Byers.

for pitching duty. Kline walked and
Harper and Bemis followed with
clean singles, filling the hassocks.
With the crowd clamoring for hit,
Kehoe stepped to the rubber and
drove a triple over the head of the
center fielder. Kehoe scored when
