CT. PATRICK, as the patron
-. saint of going to school, may
not appeal very strongly to
small scholars of today. But
green shamrocks, white clay pipes,
and little pink toy pigs are three
memorials of him that make the
seventeenth of March popular with
children everywhere. And when
you add a potato hunt and re-
freshments gay as a jig, you have
the start of a st. Patrick's Day
party that is sure to be the top OF
the afternoon.
Begin your party with invita-
lions written on green cardboard
shamrocks or pale pink paper pigs
with green ribbons tied around
their necks. Have these invita-
lions read:
Come all ye lads from far and near!
Come every gay Colleen!
For good 81. Pa ne'll dance jig
A'DeGrin' of the green.
FRIDAY afternoon Three o'clock
Come TO John Bray mouse
5 Eastwood Street
AS soon as the young guests ar
rive, present each boy with a neck
tie made of green crepe paper and
every girl with a colleen's head
dress, a green mob cap or two
green rosettes connected by mar
row band of wired green ribbon.
spuds and Clay Pipes
The first thing on the program
is a potato hunt. For this you
need small well-scrubbed potatoes.
They may be hidden exactly as
you hide Easter eggs. To make
the hunt more exciting, scoop out
q few larger potatoes, put in them
tiny trinkets wrapped in paper,
and tie or glue the tops back Oh
them. Give prizes for the largest
collection of potatoes, the biggest

totaling $4,000, leaving a net loss OF
100000 for the year as compared
with a net loss of 1,650,OO0 during
1882, The number Of telephones IN
service at the end of the year was
about 10, 100, 900, which is 16 per cent
below the maximum development
reached In 1880.
The total number of toll and long
distance calls handled during the year
1888, he said, was about 9 per cent
less than for 1882. The last half Of
1888, however, showed an improve
ment, total toll and long distance calls
being only about 3 per cent under
those for the corresponding period in
1882.
While final figures as to earnings
for the year 1888 are not yet avail
able, according to Mr., Clifford. prelim-
mary data indicate that, treating the
System as whole and including the
Western Electric Company, the earn
ings on American Telephone and Tel
egraph Company stock were approx
mately $3.50 per share as compared
with $500 per share in 1882.
The annual report to be issued later

"the ould man." a funny bumpy
potato with a face marked on it.
If the children are old enough
you can make the potatoes into
race horses and hold an Irish
Sweepstakes. Write names like
Danny" Brian Boru," Dublin
Boy" pride of Cork" and "Gal-
way Gossoon" on slips of paper
and attach one with a pin to each
potato. Each child chooses
"horse," which he moves ahead by
inches, according to the throws of
a dice. For a large group of chill
dren, you can have as many as
four or five different race courses,
with four children assigned to
each one.
If the children are too small for
this exciting game, give each one
clay pipe and let him do honor
to all the "little people" of Ireland

and rainbew-tinted as an Irish

METHODISTS PLAN
 DRAMA ON SUNDAY
'The Great Choice" to Be
 Presented By Young Peoples Society

Armistice Day will be observed at the First Methodist church by the presentation, Sunday evening, at 7:30, of an unusual drama en- titled "The Great Choice" Writ ten by Fred Eastman, one of the leading proponents of high type religious drama, and himself a playwright of outstanding ability, this play is the story of the next war. The conflict between the young people, who refuse to be "cannon fodder" while older men issue the orders, and the conserva- tive older civilians who believe that war is inevitable. that never will civilization free itself from the war method of settling difficulties-is brought out with a degree of power and emotion seldom achieved, even in dramatic form. Members of the cast presenting this play Sum day night are Miss Betty Cashman, Miss Muriel KKnapp, Miss Betty Toleman, Miss Mildred Rosen- grant, George W. Belcher, Richard Taylor, Harold Blum, and Miss Ol- i've Wilder. The service itself, of which the presentation of the play will be the major feature, will be in charge of the young peoples so- ciety of the church, with John Powell the president presiding. The public is invited.
