 Mrs. Lewis B. Price, correspondent of The Press, now in the Hartford hos pital, was pleasantly remembered on Saint Valentines day with shower" of Valentines and notes of greeting from her many Holland friends and neighl ors.
 The Ladies' Aid of the Methodist church held sale of useful and fancy articles at the town hall, Friday even- ing, followed by a supper and enter tainment. Weather conditions were unfayorat le to a large attendance. As part of the entertainment a short play was gTyen, entitled No Girls Wanted" The various characters of the play were taken ty the following Center grammar school girls: Ida Chorches, Minnie Hammar, Julia Ceisl Florence Clough. Harold Clough. Raymond Ladd and George Luce.
 Saint Valentine is surely believer in education. This is demonstrated by shower" of sixteen pictures of the Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World, that came to MT. Case on Val entine day. Some instruction along this line was necessary, 1t would seem, as MT. Case had shown very poor ability as a guesser in a game at a recent meeting of the Holland Study club. We are sure now that he will be able to identify Mrs Liberty under any, or all disguises. In the honor list of pupils of the Rockville high school for the first half year the following Holland names oc- cur: Florence Meacham, senior class Katherine Bartlett, junior class; Ern- est Adicks and Howard Metcalf, fresh men class. Howard Metcalf has the studies. In the list of honor pupils for the second quarter one is the name of John Machacek. This makes a very good showing for Holland com prising as it does about half of the pupils attending the high school from this town.
 Rev. Edward T. Mathison, rector of St. Johns Episcopal church, Rock vile, will give an illustrated lecture on The Holy Land," in the Holland own hall this Thursday evening. .,lr. Mathison has a fine series
 # slides, collected by his brother
 Ghile touring Palestine some twelve Eears ago. No admission will be charged for this lecture and everyone IS urged to come. The purpose is to give information about the land and he people and arouse our interest ill preparation for the Syrian Armenian IreekPersian relief drive that is to legin Feb. 23. Hollands quota is 5250, which amount should easily be raised when we consider the fortunate the people of those devasted and i'm poverished countries. MT. Mathison will also speak of the wonderful work of the British army during and follow
 ng the Palestine campaign.
