 On Tuesday evening Mrs. Wallis entertained the members of the Pri- mary Sunday School to a bewitching little Halloween party. A dozen lit- tie tots had most interesting time bobbing for apples and other games of the usual Halloween variety. A real witch came to keep them compa- ny for little while and after a dain- ty lunch the little folks departed.

 The Halloween dance given by the members of St. Margaret's Guild last Friday night was a most successful affair. Quite effective were the dec orations of oak boughs among which wise old owls, black cats and fear in- spring witches peered. Games and dancing continued late into the night, while refreshments were served throughout the evening. A nice lit- tie sum was cleared for the benefit of the Episcopal church.

 What a fine meeting was that of Sunday night at the Federated church! The Normal Glee Club added materi- | ally to the interest with their inspir- ing music.
 Next Sunday night promises to be of even greater interest for it is to be termed Business Mems Night, and the topic discussed will be "Is There Religious Side to the War;" Were not the topic an absorbing one, it might nevertheless be quite worth while to attend, for there is ever a subject pertinent to ones needs.
 This should be big meeting, for it is big theme. In the morning the topic will be "An Abiding Christ"
 Make it big day and attend both services.

 Flagstaff was again privileged on Monday afternoon, when Charlotte Herr gave a most entertaining lec- ture on James Whitcomb Riley, the children's poet. Miss Herr is most admirably fitted for such talk as she was a personal friend of Riley. Her intimate glimpses into his life were most happily given.
 Miss Herr disclaimed the ability to give the Riley interpretation to the poems, for none, she said, could imi- tate the poet.
 Among some she gave was "Old Glory", the first to receive that rec ognition which placed upon his work the stamp of literary perfection. I. 1. i. i.
 The reception at the home of Mr and Mrs. Asa Clark in honor of their fiftieth wedding anniversary was a most happy affair. All day old friends came and went, offering con- gratulations to MT. and Mrs. Clark, who have weathered the storms as we'll as the smiles these fifty years. At seven in the evening the Re- bekahs called in body to bring their good wishes. Mrs. Clark has been the efficient secretary of this lodge for many years. A lovely gold plate was presented as a remembrance and token of the high esteem in which the sister Rebekahs held their secretary. Coffee, Cocoa and cake were daintily served throughout the hours.
