Cong. Brotherhood
Entertaiinls Ladies

For many years the various com.
mittees from the Ladies' Guild of the
Congregational church have provided
splendid suppers at the monthly meet.
ing of the Brotherhood The men felt
that they wanted to show their appre.
citation and so some weeks ago ap.
pointed E. c. Hilborn chairman of a
general supper committee. After
meeting it was seen at once that the
proposition of getting dinner for 15O
people was no small undertaking and
required the skilled hand and mind OF
an experienced chef. c. E. Hamilton
proprietor of the Valley Hotel was
asked to suggest some one for the po-
sition. He generously offered his own
services. Early Monday morning and
all day long the committee on deco
ration including Messrs. Williams
and Bloom with large number Of
willing assistants was busy trans
forming the parlors and dining room
Of the church into Japanese garden
Messrs. Stee and Schmidt had charge
of the electric wiring that added 50
much to the charm.
Shortly after half past five the la
dies were admitted. On opening the
door the sign Brotherhood Cafe" met
the eye. Small tables lastly set were
placed about the rooms. Attentive
! walters under the able coaching of
F. T. Goodier served the guests. 1t
was understood that all tips given the
walters were to go to the local Red
Cross fund. Several dollars were
given in this way. The menu was
most delicious and prepared and
served as only the chef knows how
There was a large corps of cook as
sistants busy all afternoon and
through the evening in the prepare
ton of the edibles.
During the dinner, between the
courses and afterwards special mu-
steal program was given. D. w.
Clark had charge of this. Dorothy
McF arland was on for special stunts.
The Musical Clarks in their orchestra
pleased everybody and were generous
with their playing. The Mandolin
club of girls from the Normalonians
added greatly to the pleasure of the
evening.
There was a splendid time from
start to finish. Best Of all perhaps
there was left deep impression on
the minds of the ladies that if the
worst came to worst, the men actually
could get up and get a meal worth
while.
There is some talk among the men
of making this an annual event.

OBITUARY

Samuel Rorke. the notice of whose
| death was received Monday by his
daughter, Mrs. Annie Greenwood, of
this city, was born July Is, 1888, in
Toronto, one of a large family of
brothers and sisters.
! In early manhood he served three
years in the Canadian Volunteer
! Army, of that city, and spent seven
years in an apprenticeship, becoming
ia skilled mechanic and cabinet max
er. Later he removed to Grey county,
Ontario, where he was married to
! Lydia Ellen Cole, the home being es-
tablished at Collingwood on the Georg-
ian Bay, where they renamed for sew
eral years. .s r..
| Westward with the tide of immi-
grafton they came in 1878, to Man
chester county, Manitoba, where a
! typical pioneer life was lived by the
family for sixteen years. During
these years many changes took place
as the community developed from the
wilds Of the frontier into well-set-
tied neighborhood of prosperous
! farmers. At all times Mr.. Rorke was
the kindly and helpful neighbor, the
ever-ready friend and co-worker, aim
, ing ever at the best methods, plans,
and cordial cooperation. Leaving the
farm in 1893, the family removed to
;; Minneapolis where they remained a
number of years.
For several years Mr.. and Mrs.
;; Rorke made their home in Valley
City with Mr.. and Mrs. W.. NJ. Green
wood, leaving here in 1907 for Brit
ish Columbia to reside with their
youngest son. While here they were
active in church work and took much
interest in local activities. They will
be remembered by many. "
During the summer 1909, Mrs.
Greenwood received word Of the
death of her mother, since which
time Mr.. Rorke has gradually de-
clined, the last few years having been
spent in total blindness.
His passing away January "a,
marks the end of long life Of SER
vice. He has left to his children a
rich heritage in the memory of four
score years of industry, integrity.
thrift, generosity, devotion to high
ideals, and unfailing Christian citi-
ASAA0NAP' AAAo WOAu was as kUOU his ms
bond; his loyalty to the right never
failed.
Mr.. Rorke is survived by brother,
James Rorke, of Picton, Ontaria; a
sister, Frances C. Rorke. of Toronto;
two sons, James E. Rorke, of Mime
apolis and Roland G. Rorke, of En-
derby, B. c., at whose home his last
years were spent; three daughters.
Mrs. j. M. Hunter, of Toronto, Mrs
Annie Greenwood, of this city, and
Mrs. j.. B. Batson. of Kirby, Mont,
and twelve grandchildren.
At his personal request the last
sad rites were conducted in the simp-
lest and most informal manner. He
was laid to rest in the cemetery at
Enderby, British Columbia, near the
home of his youngest son.

Back Yard Farming
Community Club Topics

The Community club was addressed
Monday afternoon by M. C.rJames on
| Back Yard Farming. Mr. James
made plea for increased production
this year, utilizing the back yard. His
talk was given in most pleasing and
practical manner bringing out the:
pleasure and profit of raising poultry
and vegetables even on only small
piece Of ground. He said there were
few things more interesting than.
watching a plant or an animal grow,
and develop.
One man in Valley City besides
getting pleasure and exercise working
IN his garden cleared three hundred
dollars IN one year from three lots of
ground. >.., .o -.
| Some people make the mistake of
planting their tomatoes too close to-
gether: If given enough space, seven
or eight stalks of tomatoes will yield
enough tomatoes for table use, can
ming and picking.
Contrary to the opinion of some
people in North Dakota, pumpkins and
squashes may be grown here and will
get ripe. One way to get good re-
suits is to plant rs or 80 seeds in a
large circle and then thin down so
that about four plants are left. When
the dry season arrives, dig hole in
the center of the circle, and pour in
pail OF water, covering it over with
DIRT. It this is done couple Of times
1t will tide the plants over the
drought. From about four hills of
squash Mr.. James produced about.
AZ marketable squash. 20
onion sets bring good results.
Mr.: James suggested that 8 garden
plan be made placing on one end the,
small vegetables such as lettuce and
radishes then peas and beans: then,

The dead were buried today in the

Of them.
A pretty girl from Poughkeepsie,
N. Y, asked permission of an officer
to allow them to operate Salvation
Army hut in the village which is
bombarded daily by the enemy.
Il admire your pluck" responded
the officer. "I'm accustomed to seeing
men killed in action. but I never want
the blame of fine American girls

to remain in the rear"
Food is Served
The Salvation Army girls, deeply
disappointed, returned to another bat
tered village, three miles from the
front, where they are rapidly winning

hot doughnuts, apple pies and home
