On Saturday afternoon new custom
was started when the Y. w. c. a. gave
May party to all the children of the
vicinity. The little guests began to ar
rive before three and the Oak Grove
girls seemed to enjoy the games as
much as the little folks. After playing
all the May day games a real May
queen appeared with her attendants and
assembled her throne on the campus near
the place where the children were hav-
ing their games. They went up and
gave her flowers. and then began their
frolic about the May pole. There were
times when older folks would have
wound the many tinted streamers in a
slightly different fashion. but the chill
dren were perfectly happy with their
way. After the games the girls served
refreshments of ice cream and fancy
crackers in the dining room. The Y. w.
=. A. girls plan to continue this pleas
ant custom each year. The following
guests were present. Mary Porter, Ed

DRIVE NOW At HAND

Many people of this city who aided
in the successful campaign which
has just been finished for the Victory
Loan now are enrolled as workers
for the sl3.Q0o,OOO drive which will
be conducted in the week of May
1926 for the Salvation Army Home
Service Fund.
Local headquarters have been es-
tablished and the workers await only
1.-The arrival of the opening day for
the campaign to put in motion the
machinery that has been assembled
for collecting the funds necessary to
support the work of the Salvation
Army in this city for the coming year.
The Home Service Fund campaign
is unique among similar movements
in that, while national in scope, the
money which it raises will be devot-
ed only to the needs Of the particular
localities which contribute it. Less
than one per cent of the total will be
devoted to national work in the Unit
ed States. None Of it will be used to
help the endeavors Of the Salvation
Army in foreign lands, nor is any Of
it to go for war work.
Some Of the most eminent men in
the country are members Of the ma
tional committee which has the cam
paign in charge. These include the
governors of 20 states, United States
senators. bankers, lawyers. manu-
facturers. engineers and officers of
the United States Army
The work Of tho Salvation A rvov
has been endorsed by President Will
son, General Persing. Cardinal Glib
bons and many other internationally
known men from both sides of the
Atlantic. Especial stress has been
laid by these men in their messages
OF praise on the unselfish and eff
cient character of the labors per-
formed by Salvation Army workers,
as we'll as the freedom of the organ
ization from sectarian bias.

Work has begun on the little plot
of land known as Kennebecside
Park. Several interested citizens
volunteered to give a days work
Monday, and the task of hauling in
dirt. with which to make it level and
ready for shrubbery, has been be-
gun. There will soon be another
day appointed and people who feel
like helping, with their time. or
money to hire some one else, will
perhaps like to think that they had
a hand in making Hinckley the
pretty little village which it. is sure
to become in few years. 4 land
scape gardener from New York, who
was recently called to Good Will
Farm to give advice, has made sus-
gestions in regard to this park, and
advises the planting of about so
shrubs at once. Lilac, dogwood and
elder have been mentioned, with
vines and a few evergreens. It may
seem almost ludicrous to some, to
think of trying to make park" of
so small a piece of land, but every
thing must have beginning, and a
neatly kept, level piece of land,
with shrubs and flowers artistically
arranged in front Of the Railroad
station will add to the appearance of
small village, the same as beauti-
fully kept park adds to the looks of a
city.
Hinckley people are generous and
all responded when the appeal was
made for flag and it was estimated
that 300 people attended the flag
raising in October 1917. Several lee
lures on Civic Improvement, ETC.,
are to be given at the church in this
place in the near future and every
body is urged to attend. A Town
Improvement society would be a
help in community like this with
regular meetings when the men and
women who have the betterment of
the place at heart, and that means
all who live near it, could talk freely
OF their ideas. Trees could be set out
on the main street, which would
mean much in years to come.

The cause Of the accident was said to
have been blind curve and the wrong
