K|VAN|S TO GET
GOING THIS WEEK
Full Quota Of Members for
New Organization al,
ready in Sight.

The Fairmont Kiwanis club is like
" to be formally organized this week.
The movement was launched at a
meeting held last Friday night and
has received such a warm welcome
from prominent men in various lines
Of business that there is little ques-
ton but that the club will start of
here with the full quota Of members
desired and and will be q big factor
in affairs from now on.
The purpose Of the Kiwanis club Is
to put business men in touch with one
another, to encourage acquaintance to
the extent that one calls another by
the first name, to promote the inter-
ests Of the city and to build" in
every way possible spiritually and
materially.
The Kiwanis club has Its weekly
meetings either at noon hour or at
dinner hour and one hour Of each
week is devoted to social Intercourse,
although business is not taboo by any
means.
The purposes Of Kiwanis require
regular attendance and It Is usual for
such clubs to have by-lays which auto
matically drop from membership
those who miss so many meetings un-
less out Of town or having a mighty
good excuse.

Death of an Infant.

A precious baby, Marcia Mary

borne on Aug. 8, 1920, died Oct. q,
1920, age / month, 20 days.
All was done that loving hands
could do to rescue this little life, but
God knew best, and took her to rest
where no sorrow nor pain come. The
little rosebud was pure, so l say weep
not, dear mother and father, for we
know she is at rest. To you l extend
my sympathy and pray that this may
form an unbroken family around the
throne of God.
Oh, not in cruelty, not in wrath
The Reaper came that day;
1t was an angel in the home,
Who came to take our baby away.
Lonely is the home and sad the hours
Since her sweet smile is gone,
But, oh, 2 brighter home than ours
In heaven is now her own.

Il do not see how any man who
loved his country can look with un-

he said. There was "A chance for
the United States TO stand at the
head of a council OF nations of the
world: TO lead the universe in the
pathways OF peace. The opportun-
ity was rejected and future histor-
ians will refer 20 the last two years
as the time OF the great cOnspi-
racy." We preached TO our boys at
home and in France that this war
was being fought that wars might
be no more We looked on the suf-
ferings Of Belgium and Serbia and
resolved what we would do when
il was over. Then il finally was
over and we have done nothing. So
far as we are concerned il appears
we are wiling TO go back TO 1914
before il al began.
The long winded arguments in
