expressing the spirit of true patriotism
which all Chautauquans cherish. While
seated at the table partaking of the album
dant feast of delicious dainties so TEMPT
lngly arranged before us, all wished that
our absent and more distant members
could be with us to share in our enjoy
ment. The toast mistress, Mrs. Mary S.

followed by each one at the table, wish
ing her happiness, prosperity and all the

were pleased to welcome a member who
now resides in another State and seldom
has the privilege of attending these
meetings, Mrs. Sarah Lewis, a graduate
of the c. L. S. C. class of 1889, and who
retains an interest and love for the Chau-
tauquan organization in Belfast. Each
year for sixteen years this alumni has as
sembled for the annual meeting held with
some member. In our membership are
c. L. S. c. graduates from the sRecogni-

the record of Seaside C. L. S. c. Circle,
thus we close another Chautauquan
Alumni meeting.

At the regular meeting of the Boy
Scouts on Thursday evening there was a
good attendance and very interesting
meeting. Herbert A. Snow and Paul
futile of this city were elected to mem
bership. Others have applications pend
ing and there is good interest among the
boys, which was the case last spring
when the summers work came on. Two
members have been suspended from mem
bership for failure to keep the Boy Scout
oath. At this meeting there was a
debate between Donald Knowlton and
Wallace Pendleton in the affirmative and
Perrin Arnold and George Randall for the
negative, and the latter side won. At
the next meeting there will be period
of story telling by Donald Knowlton,
Thomas Knights, George Randall, Frank
Downes and Perrin Arnold. There will
be debate on the subject of "Should
there be military training in the Gram
mar SCHOOL," Wallace Pendleton and
Orland Orchard will speak in the affirma-
tive and Paul futile and Walter White
head in the negative. Last Friday after
noon, following the school work, there
was drill on the school common for one
half hour and this will be continued for
some time until the boys are able to do
good work in that line. The excellent
escort duty done by the boys on the
morning of the departure of the soldiers
was indeed a credit to them and there
was much interest shown. The first hike
of the fall will take place October 9th
with Pitchers Pond as the object i've
point of interest. 1t is expected that
with good weather, there will be very
large delegation to make the trip.

RED CROSS ANNOUNCEMENT
To the Women Of Canon city:

It is hot weather and the Red Cross
headquarters is not the coolest place
in town Not by any means as cool
as your own comfortable rooms or
shaded porches. But what do you
think of such temperature as 10S in
the shade? That is what some of our
young men have been enduring lately
at Fort Riley and they have been
working hard and with long hours.
Have we not been thinking a a-wee
bit too ni1ch about the heat and the
discomfort? The reason this question
is asked is this: OF late there has
been marked falling of in the num-
ber of those sewing on the hospital
supplies. There have been afternoons
when not one machine has been run
ming. The need for these supplies be-
comes more urgent every day. To
produce them workers are needed
Every woman who can use her needle
should give part of her tirie Even
II your leisure time is very limited
you can give little time. Plan your
home work so that a definite time
each week can be given.
A careful directress is in charge
each afternoon and she guides the
work. II you have never done any
thing of the sort before you win find
it easier than you expected and it is
richly worth your while.
Realize how greatly we want your
help. Do not put the matter off but
getin touch with some directress at
once. Tel her when you can come
ard how often. Remember every day
counts.
4 list u those in charge follows:
On Monday. Mrs. J. p Farmer
TUESDAYS. Mrs. Herman
Wednesdays. Mrs. Clyde Farmer
Thursdays. Mrs. r. w. Irish.
Fridays. Mrs. F. F. Hunter
SATURDAYS, Mrs. Chappell.
Saturday belongs TO the girls who
are sewing under Mrs. Chappell's
care. So we ask all the girls to come
then.
Yesterday additional fans were
placed in the Red Cross roms and they
are much pleasanter in consequence.

more comfortable Come and see the
improvement
