by Mr.. Anderson, himself. The

The Glorious Fourth of July

At meeting of the Community Club Monday
evening it decided to celebrate the Fourth of
July, and this year the idea would be more appro-
pirate than for many years. With democracies at
tackled and threatened as well people in
this country who willing to let go of those
cherished ideals brought to mind through the obser
vance of the Fourth of July, it would not be amiss
to bring back rousng, old-time celebration.
But the time is short, and such action should
have been taken at least two months ago. 1t is
possible to stage good celebration, but it will
take vigorous action and complete cooperation if
it is to be successful.
fine celebrations and they left mark to shoot at

celebration which will not compare with that

improve upon past experiences. There are certain
things that people like, and attempt should be
made to get that kind of entertainment.
majority of those present or voting voted to
hold the celebration of 1910 on Main and Third
Thus everyone should cooperate regardless of his
sentiment. The writer still favors celebra-
ton in the park, but will give fullest cooperation
to any plan the majority has favored. Yet, we be-
leve, that this matter should be given greater con-
sideration.
Sank Centre has left it's swaddng clothes be-

let's do it in worthwhile way, or not at all!
Let's make people feel that this is their city,
and if they have enjoyed their visit stay here,
they will return. Thus can we secure wider area
of trade and good will for own town as well as
ourselves.
A Glorious Fourth of July celebration this year
can be made to serve two purposes. First, that we

peace and second, that Sank Centre is city of

and graduation from College
when Anne Holley and Dick Gavan
vaulted the social fence into Dun
STAINS country club set. Then the
stars, which had seemed so secure
in their sky, performed a hundred
unaccountable antics, and her neat
conventional world failed for once
to provide the answers to her ques-
tions.
Some Of the answers Barbara
discovered by running away to New
York and taking job as night
club entertainer. Her mothers
tragedy provided her with others.
And the rest she found by search
ing her own heart.
But this is not Barbara's story
alone. 1t belongs equally to Wedge

caught with her in the mesh of

their social groups.

THE MORNING is NEAR US
BY Glaspell
After several years of silence,
Susan Glaspell has again come for
ward with a powerful and unusual
story. 1t tells of a woman strug-
Cling to understand her true place
in the world. Successful realization
Of her position comes after a con-
flict with the conventional emo
tons regarding strange love af-
fair which involved her mother.
Generally considered as one of
Americas most gifted novelists, it
is something of literary event to
find Miss Glaspell once more in
the lists, and in this rich story she
has drawn a character as tender
and lovable as you can hope to find
in the world Of fiction. Lydia
Chapman comes home from the
far places of the globe to recapture
for her two adopted children the
peace and gentleness of the small
American community she had left
years before.
Though Koula and Diego. the lit
tie Greek girl and Mexican boy she
has adopted, find joy and a new
contentment there, Lydia feels that
a cloud Of sinister unquiet hangs
over her, recalling the strangeness
of her earlier relationship with her
beautiful mother, around whom
there is an aura of mystery.
