lines, refined elegance. Directly out
side of the club is a plateau on the
river side and running down from
this plateau. to the river is q set of
terraced steps fianked by Lombardy
poplars. The dining room looks as
though il had been transported
straight from Oxford itself. 1t is
entirely in the perpendicular style
with loaded panes to its windows
and quaint old china closets and
cabinets.
This club house is said to be the
handsomest in the state and l can
well believe this to be the case. Not
only the Civic Club members, but
the whole of Harrisburg feel pro-
prietorship in this building with a
sense of deep respect for its beauty.
This year they have turned over the
whole building to the Red Cross on
certain days, even giving them their
china for their use. also linen and
everything that one might need, and
yet. although these workers come
day after day, there is no sign what
ever o. wear and tear upon the
house.
The president OF this club, Mrs.
William A. Henderson, is what might
be called a live wire conservative;
indeed, il it does not sound too
paradoXical one might say n con-
servative of the most progressive
type. She chases no isms, she is not
one who believes that a single social
scheme can save the world, she sifts
out the best of everything mixing
in the new material with that which
is tried and tempered. Her sense
of humor is keen and delicious.
Many there are in the club who are
far more radical in their ideas, but
Mrs. Henderson is invariably elected
president of the club e'=ry year.
In Harrisburg as in the Civic Club
of Norristown the Civic Club was
instrumental in having the curfew
law passed and whenever in Il dis
trict of Harrisburg it is felt that this
law is not properly enforced down
come the Nigilantes and see that
it is enforced"

Market Square Will Lose
|. Member and Teacher in
First Draft Call Here

The first man to be taken by draft
into the Army from Harrisburg is
Charles Stephen Anderson, of 1872
Verbeke street He is u member of
Market Square Church and teach
er in the Sunday school.
Next week twelve neighborhood
prayer meetings will be held in as
many homes of members of Market
Square Church. The homes selected
are at strategic centers of the con-
gregation and accessible to large
numbers of homes and members.
Market Square has at least one per-
son, a member of the congregation,
in 800 homes of the city.
The month of February was
busy one for Charles a. Davis, the
janitor of the church. There were
siXty-two meetings, in addition to
the regular church services. The
month of March will pass this large
figure. When a building has three
meetings a day, every day in the
week, the critic hasn't much reason
for talking about the shut-up
church building"

Keystone. S. D., Aug 31.-The

Of witnesses, shot and killed a deer

BORDER AUTHORITIES
BECOME VERY STRICT
Former South Dakota Man I'm,
able to Get Back to His
Canadian Home.

Ramona, S. D., Aug. 31.-To Judge
by the experience of James Levee, a
former resident of this county who
Went to western Canada some years
ago. the Canadian authorities are be-
coming very strict about whom they
permit to cross the border into Can
ada. Levee had been visiting old
scenes in South Dakota He had be-
come citizen of Canada, but never
theless he was refused permission to
enter Canada after completing his
visit in South Dakota. He had papers
with him showing he was citizen OF
Canada and owned land there, but the
officers were obdurate. and he now has
returned to Lake county. He reports
That four other men and a woman with
q child We're refused readnittance to
Canada at the same time. No reason
was given.

AMBULANCE DRIVER
TELLS EXPERIENCES

DeSmet, S. D.. Aug. 31.-In a letter
received by the home folks, Carl HIM,
South Dakota boy who is attached
70 an ambulance company on the bat
his ambulance by the explosion of a
German shell and escaped without a
scratch. He writes:
We were stationed in a town short
distance from the lines the other night
occupying fine chateau, which, Of
course, had been deserted by the owner
ana we were SO proud of it, It was
such a beautiful place, and fine ac-
commodations. But, no! 1t did not
last long. 1t was too fine. Along
came 'Fritzie's shell and knocked it
all to bits. None Of US was hit or
knocked in the radiator
Gets a little chilly at night while
driving, but we are well fixed for that
1t gets mighty dark, too. OF course
we cannot use light Of any kind. and
there is SO much traffic it keeps
along at all. Have to be very careful
even of lights Of our cigarets, because
the boches have very keen eyes and
are pretty good shots.
We were awakened this a. m. about S
O'Clock by the whistle OF the 'Fritzies'
ting ourselves into a dugout away
from the shrapnel or gas"
In letter written much earlier,
which had been left in his ambulance
and temporarily forgotten, Him. writes
OF a German attack.
Ny ambulance" he writes, was all
