SCHOLARSHIP FUND
TO HONOR MCDONALD
Hollis G. Mcdonald Scholarship
Fund to be Established by
Local Church

The members of the Sabbath School
Board Of the First Presbyterian church
unanimously decided at their last
meeting to establish scholarship at
Manchester College as a memorial to
the late superintendent, Hollis G. Nc
Donald. There was a spontaneous de-
sire in the hearts of all the friends of
Mr. Mcdonald in the church and COM
munity that something be done to
honor their friend and to perpetuate
his memory. 1t was felt by all pres
ent at the meeting that no more fitting
memorial could be established, in view
Of Mr.. McDonald's interest in Macal-
ester College, than a permanent sch
olarship in that institution to bear his
name ..5
The plan is this: The Sabbath school
has pledged itself to raise $4,000 for
this scholarship with the aid of friends
of Mr.. Mcdonald. This sum is to be
invested to bear interest amounting
to S120 per year. The principal is
never to be touched, the interest to
be granted annually to some deserv-
ing student of the church attending
Manchester College, the amount being
Sufficient to pay the yearly tuition.
The Hollis G. Mcdonald scholarship
viii! thus be permanent thing, and
the memory of Mr.. Mcdonald will be
perpetuated from one generation to
the next.
The scholarship will be dedicated to
the virtue of faithfulness, a character
istic so evident in the life of Mr.. Nc
Donald. On Sunday next. DR.. Bess
president Of Manchester College, will
sreak in the morning and two stu
dents will speak in the evening. The
free-will offerings will go to this schol-
arship. Report will be made in the
evening service of the total amount
given. 1t is hoped that the friends of
the late Mr.. Mcdonald will be pres
ent in as large numbers as possible
and that the plan will meet with tn cir
hearty approval and support The pub
lie is cordially invited to attend these
services next Sunday.

r I've nun0red young black walnut
trees were planted in Sibley State
Park on the north shore of Lake And

gladen the hearts of future visitors of
the park.
A drainage survey was made of the
ball grounds and plans arranged for
putting in tile. Levels were also TAX
en- on the spring which showed that
the spring is plenty high, so that by
using pipe, drinking fountain can
be installed at convenient location.
Marked improvements have been
made in the Park during the past
year, this is especially noticeable by
| the spaces that have been cleared of
| underbrush and the system of roads
thru the park. More and more each

State Park is being appreciated
The book for registering on top Of Mt
Tom shows evidence of frequent Wis
tiers.
Considerable of the work has been
done by people donating their services
A good share Of the interest and the
progress in the park is due to the ef
forts Of Peter Broberg. While every
body got up a good sweat planting
trees, there was excellent spirit anG
plenty of good will At parting time
at the close of the afternoon, some Of
the men said that they would be or
