well, as far as we know at thi
time. Nezperce went over the tol
:, the first day of the drive, but al
of the district has not yet reported
and quite a sum should still bC
added.
We have near 800 deposited
from the districts reporting to this
office, but have not received any
thing from the other towns, and
do not yet know the amounts they
have raised. Vollmer and Win
chester reported that they went
over. Reubens reported some
days ago that they had half their
quota and expected to raise the
rest. The other places have not
as yet reported.
Most of the solicitors have CON
sidered it an opportunity to do
what they could for this cause,
and have worked faithfully. The
returned soldiers, especially, were
glad Of this chance to do what
they could, and they did finely
They learned to do that way over
on the other side. Bryc Post made
liberal donation, and the indi-
vidual soldiers gave literally also.
They make some of the rest of us
ashamed for the little we give and
do.
The Temple Theatre gave
show Sunday night for the bene-
fit Of the drive. The pictures were
appropriate for the occasion and
for the drive. They showed the
life and acts of a Man who gave
the world life Of service; who
taught that service to others is
characteristic of the highest type
of man. that it is a duty and a
privilege which should be follow
ed by all. Our army of young
men gave us of their time, serv-
ice, and even of their lives, and
what more can any one give? At
this Sunday evening entertain
ment the soldiers were represent
ed by Allen McCready, who gave
us short, timely and appropriate
address. The receipts were given
to a fund which will all be used
for the good of the people Of this
state, through the Salvation Ar
my, whose soldiers preach, teach
practice and live lives of sacrificed
and service to their fellow men. |
The initial cost of the film was
paid out Of the ticket receipts.
Mrs. Peterson paid all Of the ex-
press and telegraphic charges and
for the hall, and all the work of |
giving the show was donated by |
the several parties who gave the
entertainment. The pictures were
good, and the music was certainly |
fine, and we all thank those who |
put the show over. The sum Of
$25 was turned in from the enter
tainment.
When our boys were across the
pond, they kept asking for oppor-
to get at the enemy and
they sure took advantage Of all
such opportunities that they had,
and made good. The Salvation
Army is begging for an opportun-
ty to fight the enemies of man
xind in this state. They need
'unds to do this work, and for all
he good thew can do. These S.
A. soldiers do not grumble at the
work that comes in their way, but
July grumble that they cannot do
more. Some Of us have missed

pany of Wilmington, through the
, courtesy of President John S. Rossell.
A preliminary Farm Bureau meeting
will be held in Wilmington, November l
to consider changing the annual Farm
Bureau membership fee from fifty cents
per individual to one dollar per family.
This change will necessitate amending

contest against the north. The losing

ners.

and previous to the annual Farm Bu-
reau meeting in December, meeting
will be held of each Of the fourteen
community committees where COM
munity program of work and plans for
the membership campaign will be
adopted. In those communities where
feasible it was recommended that the
farm bureau and subordinate grange
cooperate in developing the program
of work.
The following resolution was adopted:
Resolved that the New Castle Farm
Bureau acknowledge the appreciation
0f the 20. 0neratiOn of the Countv
Superintendent Of Schools, W. H.
Jump, and the teachers of the County
in the Boys AMI Girls Club Work.
And be it further resolved that the New

The committee on Prayer Book Re-
vision offer many suggestions. In q
sense an effort will be made to Ameri-

some of the things we should like to
propose are the following:
Have the Holy Communion as the
chief service of sunday morning. Per-
nit great freedom at evening prayer.
Promote congregational singing. Use
simple music in choir anthems. Have
congregation join in 1.-The General

Omit dearly beloved brethren" and
all other prayer book sermons.
Put the Bible into the pews.
Explain the lessons.
Use few prayers and vary them.

A~Handy Dog

Were you ever kept awake at night
by the bowling or barking Of dog?
Not very pleasant is it? If you know
how it sounds, keep your dog locked up
at night. Put him in your barn or out
shed at night so that his music will not
make your Christian neighbors say
things which should be left unsaid.
Keep him up so that your yard will not
be filled with tin cans and brick bats
aimed at the dog-poor innocent crea-
ture. Lock him up, my friend. The
deed will add q star to your heavenly
crown.
