Mrs. Alldean Stneby was chairman of the atfair which opened with the story of the opera, “Madame Butterfly.” told by Mrs. Nelson Miles in a most pleasing manner. Mrs. Kenneth Harkless sang the beautiful and well known song, “One Fine Day' - -a song the Japanese maiden sings in the second act of the opera. A large pine log. civ from the Community Christinas tree, was thoughtfully saved for this occasion by the hostess. Mrs. O. C. Stoelting placed the log in the fireplace so the club members could have this last pleasure from the tree, which so delighted every one. “An Ode to the 1 Christmas Tree.” a imk‘hi written by Mrs. Strieby, Mrs. StoePing then addressed to the log: Another year has passed; O Christmas TrCe!

"Craig’s Wife,” the drama chosen for study on this day was writ.en by George Kelley and with it he won the Pulitzer Prize for 1925. A brief sketch of his life was given by Mrs. Preston Miles. . Mrs. I. J. Markel. of the Elkhart Thursday club, then introduced to the guests as the one who would review the play. Mrs. Markel chose to interpret the drama by building up the character of Mrs. Craig, a supremely selfish woman w’ h o makes a bitter and. ironic picture of domesticity presided over by a woman determined to rule or ruin. Mrs. Markel read extracts from the play and commented an these words. She was very well prepared to review the play—having seen it acted on th' stage and also read by Professor Frazier, of Indiana University. The program was concluded with three piano selections by Miss Gladys Minandow. They were: "To a Wild Rose,” “To a Water Lily.” and "The Sea.” All were composed by McDowell and Miss Minardow preceded her numbers with a very interesting story of his* hfe. The hos’ess then invited the guests to drink a cup of tea - thus ending an altogether delightful afternoon.

PLI.XS TO MAKE 1 CHANGE The Gosher> Daily Democrat say’s that A. R Hundred has announced that he will give up his iris and peony farm at White Pigeon, and grow these flowers on his gladiolus farm, just west of Goshen. Next spring and fail seventeen acres of these flowers will be grown in a “ract which fronts on the Lincoln highway. An increase in the demand for the Kundred iris and pecnies, has brought about the change. Mr. Hundred feels that the White Pigeon tract is too far away from the gladiolus farm. The change means employment of more men and women at the Hundred Go shen farm and considerable increase in the company's local post office business. ■ —o- — MILITARY TRAINING Since 1912. the number of colleges and universities incorporating course in military training had increased from fifty-six to 225, and the enrollment had increased 400 per cent. In eightythree colleges it is compulsory, and 7.000 high school boys in this country were compelled to take it. Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps units as well as courses of instruction in military aviation are increasing. In 1914 there were four summer camps for military training with the student paying his own way. whereas now there are forty with expenses pa d by the Federal Government. The World War evidently not only failed to put an end to militarism but inoculated this country with the Prussian virus.

Those which blossom in the spring should no 4 be pruned now. but after their flowering. when all the shoots that have bloomed should be cut back or cut out at the base of the plant. If these shrubs are pruned, now. all the flower bearing wood will be removed. On the other hand summer flowering shrubs like hydrangeas and hibiscus should be pruned early in the spring, removing the oldest canes a* the base and shorten ng the remainder at least one-third.

NEED MORE FOR (NTS Every country, foresters believe, should have one-third of ?s land'area in forests in order to meet its timber and woods needs, says the Forest Service of the United States Department of agriculture. Our country now has 138,000.000 acres of virgin forests, together with 250,000,000 acres of cut-over land, or a total of only 388,000,000 acres that are really valuable for timber production. This is only onefifth of our total land area. In addition Jo the wood used in buildings and other construction, thousands of articles/Jneluding even medicines and clothing, are made from trees or lumber. Furthermore, forests protect game and give enjoyment to hunters and vacationists. They also prevent the washing!
