Public sentiment is coming to en-

THE GIRLS! Can They Do It?

 The old theory that the female population of the world cannot 1 carry on anything big and vital and important is fast giving away as all such theories must and will do. ~
 It seems in America we are blessed with plenty of days, New Years Day." " Christmas Day" " Birthday, " Girls Day, :" and for a long time we have had Dog Day."
 No doubt every man, woman and child of St Johns have been looking forward to the big Girls Day" program and dance, " to be given Friday 19, 1918, and Gee Whiz, but it will be good. They certainly are not calming down, My goodness no! Why they are just awakening " One big, grand success is merely serving to stimulate them to achieve greater success.
 There's a little bee buzzing around among the members, and it seems to say, Get ready, Boys" cause this is going to be the best ever. And if one judges from appearances, it is going to be, oh, just mighty good.
 Now it would never do to tell you quite everything we are go- ing to do, because you know that no punishment is so great as that of suspense. You never saw such an excited bunch in your life as they were over the electing of the Girls Day Queen.
