WOODMEN CIRCLE ENJOYS
VERY PLEASANT EVENING

Last Thursday evening was pleas
ant one spent by the members Of the
Woodmen Circle at the Hall Three
new members were obligated and
given the password They were Mrs
Barnett, Beulah Dixon and Miss
Banks We hope our enjoyable
meetings will entice them to come
back again
Upon entering the hall we encoun-
tered the familiar face Of Sow Ben
son, who had been absent on an eight
months pleasure and prospecting trip.
The very beautiful ceremony Of
dedicating our service flag distin-
guishes this meeting from all Others
in the past. Our loyalty stands pledg-
ed 10 the memory Of those on the
Honor Roll An earnest prayer was
uttered by Sow Luna for the safe
return of those boys who have left
the home fires to help win the free
dom of the world How gloriously
this has been achieved is related to
US in terms Of higheset praise by the
most noted men in the world today.
When the message that peace was
declared was flashed from the cables
of Europe we felt that being Ameri-
cans was priceless honor
Spontaneous good nature was vi
brant throughout the time spent in
the dining room where sandwiches,
cake and coffee were served
Last month just before the raw
ages of the Influenza prohibited fur
ther public gatherings we welcomed
two other members to our Circle.
Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Brown. Our
thanks are due Mr.. Phillips who treat
ed us to ice cream at the Manhatton

Adoo in a letter to bankers explain
ing the treasury's program for float

bility, had been abandoned and that

great popular campaign" Previous
ly he had announced that the bonds
