Plan Thanksgiving Boxes
For HaHiesburg Boys

give them just now)-and apples
and dOughnuts without very much
hole in them) and more nuts and
cookies, with all kinds of frOstings
on them and jellies and cheese. For
100 boys Think of il! 1t will mean
that again the mothers and sweet
hearts and sisters of these lads who
have gone will have another wonder
full chance to contribute a bit to this
good cause. The plans are not all
finished, but Mrs. DR.. Z. p. Moore
will he glad to advise anyone who
will communicate with her No
meat is TO be sent because the
journey is such a long one and be-
sides there will be a sufficiency of
that provided by the army messos,
but il is the little frills and fuss
ings which are so dear TO the mem
cries of these kids who are gone
that are going TO be sent so that
they may know that the folks be-
hind are thinking of them more
nearly and dearly than ever before.
Fathers Don't Say Much.
The fathers didn't say much.
They just sat around and looked
wise generally. But occasionally
there was a sigh and there were oc-
casional exchanges Of meaning looks
between the lot. II isn't that they
don't feel and il isn't that they're
not doing their bit, either. Their
very presence there at the meeting
contradicted that 10 all satisfaction.
But il was just kind of sweetly fun
ny TO watch them sit there with
funny misty things in their eyes and
never saying anything.
The mothers of South Bend are
not forgetting anything and the
boxes that will go from South Bend
TO the 100 men in the headquarters
company will be splendidly represen-
tative of the worth Of them.
All contributions will be grateful
ly received. Definite plans for the
collection of all contributions will
be given out later and the people
of South Bend will have another
fine chance TO show where their
hearts are.

An APPRECIATION
By Howard z. Taylor

Those evening bells, those even
ing bells,
How many a tale their music tells
or youth, and home, and that sweet
time
When last heard their soothing
chimel
Those joyous hours are passed away;
And many heart that then was gay
Within the tomb now darkly dwells,
And hears no more those evening
bells.
And so twill be when I am gone;
That tuneful peal will still ring OH,
While other bards shall walk these
dells
And sing your praise, sweet evening
bells"
Sitting one evening last week on
the veranda at the close OF q busy
day, the sky painted in heavenly
colors; the evening star just ready
to welcome the starry hosts Of night
the air clematis laden and reso-
nant with early fall night sounds
in this beautiful environment we
were reviewing the blessings Of the
day now gone when the Vesper
Chimes rang forth with restful mel
ody: softly now the light Of day;
Come thou fount Of every blessing"
etc. knew from the master touch
that Doctor FELTON, was sitting at
the bell console.
Melody after melody came TO us,
bringing memories OF other days
now gone and suddenly the thought
came upon me that perhaps in
the busy rush Of 'Berea Life,
few OF us had ever told Doctor Eel
ton and others Of the Bell Ringers
Guild how much we really ap-
preciated these eventide recitals
and then my guilty conscience
rebuked me for other similar
