Dear editor of Spectator. As there have been several bright, sunny days and many glori us rain since attempted to write a line to your paper. which aI- ways enjoy reading. l will try this lonesome rainy day to scrib- ble line or two.
 Church, Sunday school and Mothers Day was attended yes rerday by . large crowd. A nice program was rendered in the evening.
 Bro. Mcqueen will preach at Cass Wednesday night. It goes without saying that our latch strings all hang on the outside when Bro. Mcqueen is around Cass.
 Silas Childers has been carry inglthe mail on his mothers colt. as old Gray has a sore on his back.
 Leonard Barham and Willie McIlroy stole . horse and buggy Sunday eve. but as there was no damage done guess it will not get into the courts.
 Mr. Norman Friddle got as the gate at w. A. MeIlroy's Sunday, but. believe me. well. he took the other end of the road.
 P. H. James says the snow on Cobb mountain always looked good to him, but it is all melted now.
 We understand that there is to be seven new house built in Cass at once. The we'll drill is furnishing water before the foundations are laid. We also expect to have electric lights. Charley Hoggard can furnish all the gas the town needs.
 The old man Fred Russell was able to be out Sunday. He stood and watched the boys and girls pass by and said if he had his life to live over he would try to marry. Isn't it funny some peo- pie have no sense until they get old?
 We'll. as l don't know whether this will meet a welcome or not. will drive on mAcart.

Be Satisfactory So Far.

Evidence that the Roosevelt me-
mortal campaign is meeting with
success in Rock Island Is being
hourly received BIZ those leading
the movement.
There were several applications
by members of the executive COM
mittee,, as well as the captains OF
teams of workers today for addi-
tional books of receipts. These are
being issued at the Rock Island
club by Major Walter A. Rosen-
field. Inasmuch as it is most de-
sirable in this campaign to have
the greateT~aaIImbeT of subscribers
rather than the fewer larger sub
scriptions. this indication that
many receipts are being given to
people who contribute, is consid-
cred very good sign.
There was no approximate fg-
ure ascertained today upon the
amassnt of funds or the number of
subscriptions received to date. This
will come out in the meeting at the
Rock Island club tomorrow noon
OF the Rock Island executive COM
mitteemen and those chosen as

with how great enthusiasm Rock

educational value, the photOplay is
a fascinating Aim drama The two
elements combined make it proba-

The two leading roles are taken
by Claire Adams and Richard Ben
nett. Miss Adams plays the part Of
a Red Cross nurse in a manner
which meets instant admiration
from audiences wherever the pic
ture has been shown. Mr.. Bennett,
who is one OF the country's best
known actors, plays the part of an
army doctor. The picture abounds
in intense moments and dramatic
situations throughout The entire
seven reels.
The idea OF the story OF The

by DR.. Katherine Bemet Davis, for
mer commissioner of corrections
for New York city. DR. Davis serv-
