Recital

The Evolutionary recital givin
at the School House by Rev.
Hearn's class Tuesday evening
was a decided success. The AS
sembly hall was we'll filled with
listeners and the program was
rendered with no ostentation and
with the assurance born of con-
fidence.
The program, which appears in
another column, was a well Sc
ected one and all members of
the class acquitted themselves
creditably.
The musical numbers consist
ed of piano solos, by Miss Erma
Russell, and vocal solos by Miss
Clara Martin with Miss Russell
as accompanist. Both presented
pleasing numbers in a manner
to arouse pride in our talented
young musicians.
If asked for our judgment as to
which pupil displayed the most
talent or responded best to their
training we should unhesitating-
" give the prize to Miss Dorothy
Gibbs, whose rendition of her
Impersonation entitled Jane"
in which she successfully presen-
ted five divers characters unaf-
fected by the storm of laughter
and appreciation of the audience
was immense. Mrs. DeFrees and
Miss Phoebe Russell rose splend-
idly to the occasion with very
difficult selectionsand the Others
deserve much credit as does
their teacher for the very please
ing entertainment.

The meeting closed with the
National Hymn sung with fervor
by the entire audience and the
balance of the day was observed
as a holiday. Many people were
in town and it is noticeable that
our Americans of German decent
were among the most prompt in
registering and enthusiastic in
expression of loyalty the U. S.

100 young men ofthe prescribed
age for military duty and it is
believed all have registered, if
any have been overlooked tits an

The sentiment generally, ex-

the story of the Canadian Patriot
told by Rev. Russell who in
reply to the query by "a German,
What will you do when Ger

1T will make little difference to
Canadians how Germany rules
Canada for when she does there
will be no Canadians left to
