The Leonard Memorial Fund con-
tinues to grow. Every day new sub
scriptions are added, and every day
people tell us that they want to con-
tribute. We would suggest to those
who intend helping to raise this mo-
ney that they let us hear from them
at once, in order that something may
be done before long. 1t is not our
intention to ask anyone-this is to
be a voluntary contribution. The
man to whom this tablet is to be
erected was volunteer, and the
tablet to honor his memory will be
bought with money given with the
same spirit of willingness with which
he gave his life.
There will be a war bread demon
stration at the parish house at two
o'clock Wednesday afternoon, June

bread will have the opportunity to
see the bread made and baked by
Miss Walker, the County Home DEM
onstrator. The work is done under
the direction Of the Women's Sec
ton, Council Of Defense. 1t will
take valuable time and money to
give this demonstration, and no pa
triotic woman can afford to miss the
opportunity of being shown how to
use substitutes instead of wheat.
There will be two kinds of bread
made.
The Neck district claims the cham
pionship on many of the best things
in the county, for instance there are
some persons in that district, or who
are natives of the district, who claim
that its waters produce the finest oys-
ters, crabs and fish; its farmers
claim that it contains the most pro-
ductive land in the county; some of
its girls claim that it has the hand
soonest men, and the young men,
likewise, claim that it has the pref
test and most accomplished girls,
but all of these claims may be dis
puted, but when it comes down to
the number of persons eighty years
old or over, it is doubtful if there is
another district in the county that
can compare with it. There are
over twenty men and women in the
district who are eighty years old or
over, one or two of whom are around
| ninety. If there is another district
| in the county that can equal this
record, we should like to hear of it.,
