ization will be completed at the next
regular meeting, at which time the
secretary, treasurer and sergeant at

The course will run through a Pc
Rod of some eight weeks and will
take up and discuss frankly the things
that concern boy life.
The inception of the plan had its
beginning in a banquet held at the
Flat River Y. M. c. A., called at the
request of Mr.. Marsh, the president.
All the schools of the Lead Belt were
represented and the following sched-
ule was worked out: A course of six
or eight weeks for High School boys
covering the varying phases Of High
School life; a Father ard Son Week
beginning next Monday, Feb. II, and
continuing throughout the week. To-
ward the latter part of the week
"Fathcr and Son" banquet is planned,
at which the father or nearest male
friend will be invited and entertained
by the son. At this banquet live
speakers with live speeches will be
On hand. The father and son will sit
together at this banquet. The follow
ing Sunday, the 18th. the father and
son will so to church together and sit
together. Young men will serve as
ushcrs on that day. In this way it is
dipped that fathers and sons will grow
to know each other better than they
have perhaps in the past. We be
speak the earnest cooperation of all
fathers and all sons to that end.
This, then, is the plan of the Or
ganization. Mr.. Marsh will explain
the essential features at tonight's
literary program. Come out and hear
him.

OH, FAITHFUL FRIEND!

The Animal World, of London, says
The brilliant correspondent Of the
Daily Chronicle, Philip Gibbs" tells
in recent dispatch, this story of a
dogs silent, pathetic devotion: ITO a
casualty clearing station was brought
a boy of nineteen who had been gass-
ed. He was lifelong paralytic and
wizened like an old man, and deaf and
dumb. No one know where he had
come from or to whom he belonged,
but he had one creature faithful to
him. 1t was a small dog, who came
on the stretcher with him, sitting on
his chest 1t watched close to him
when he lay in the hospital, and went
away with him, sitting on his chest
again, when he was sent farther away
to another clearing station" Close
your eyes, reader, see the mental pic
ture Of this story, and say, if you can,
that there was no spark of the divine
mystery of life and love in the heart
of that silent but faithful friend.
