BOYS CLUB

Owing to war conditions calling for united effort the Boys Club of the Episcopal Church, and the Boy Scouts of our city will be one organization until the war is over, so it is to be hoped that all the members of the Boys Club will attend the Boy Scouts meeting this evening in the Forest Service Office at seven o'clock If there are any members of the Boys Club who are not also members of the Boy Scouts it is sincerely hoped that they will join the Boy Scouts with as little delay as possible.
 We shall, and must win the war, so let us put forth our very best eff forts to support our President, the Gov ernment and our boys who are fight ing for our freedom, and, for the worlds freedom.
 May God grant us victory, protect our boys, and bring them home safe again is our daily prayer before the throne of Almighty God.

SCHOOL REPORT

The first month Of school closed last Friday with total enrolment of 228. The per cent of attendance for he entire school was 9SS The Jun for High School under Miss Derrick was perfect in it's attendance thus winning the attendance banner. This is a splendid record for a room con- taining 40 pupils. Miss Buor's room was close second with a per centage of 99.5 The others follow: Miss Gaines 99: Miss Barlows 9S.S; Miss Hawks 9S6; Senior High School, Miss Brewster, 9S; Miss Rossiter's 97.6
 There were total of 421a days of absence during the month of which the first grade had thirteen, the larg- est number There were eight cases of tardiness reported. While this re- cord of attendance is very satisfac- tory. nevertheless, there were some cases of absence that could have been avoided. There should be no cases of tardiness during such splendid weather as we have been having. Those coming late have done so thru carelessness. Parents are urged to see that their children come to school on time Habits of punctuality de- veloped in youth will remain great asset to the individual throughout

THOUSANDS THRONG HALL TO GREET
 DRAFTED BOYS
Sailor Boys From Ships in Port And Local Drafted Men Are
 Guests of Honor

Moose Hall blazed with light and color last evening for the dance given by the people of Ketchikan in honor of the last contingent of local draft ed men of the 1917 class who leave shortly for Haines, Fort Wm. H. Sew ard, the preliminary step in entering the lists of the greatest combat be- tween nations ever known.
 Hundreds of people visited the hall last evening, some remaining only to hear the program part which opened the festivities, under the direction of MT. T. J. Pennell. The Star Spang- led Banner" sung by the entire aud- fence was followed by a patriotic ad- ! dress to the boys who are leaving, in terspersed with good advice and re- minders by MT. Jno R. Beegle, Jack Barbour, tenor gave three patriotic songs, the crowds joining in the chor- uses.
 The Dream Orchestra, Mrs. Woods emu MI fiOuoLdHl, dSSlSIcu Dy MT. Kuhn, one of the sailor boys on board the Unalga, dispensed snappy music for the dancing which continued till a late hour.
 Wonderful refreshments were served "a la cafeteria" about mid night, and delicious punch was pro- vided between dances.
 The sailor boys present pronounced the dance huge success and declared they had never enjoyed themselves more.
 The Hall, veritable kaleidoscope of color, was never so resplendent as last night when the lighthouse flags and Old Glory were displayed to such advantage by the boys of S. C. 31O Myriads of colored lights strung about the ceiling of the hall added to the effect, together with the gowns and uniforms of the guests, made the scene one, which will remain in the memory of Ketchikan as long as there are dances.

 ON EXHIBITION

Dr. H. J. Minthorn, of Metlakatla, who has sent in a number of specimen of Alaska agricultural products this summer, has surpassed anything ever seen in this town, at this time of the year, in the cabbage line.
 A cabbage is now on exhibition in the windows of the Progressive-Miner office that would do credit to Burbank or any other wizard. and is certainly proof enough of what can be grown in this part of the country with a lit tie care and patience. The cabbage weighs 20 pounds and is as solid as a rock.
