Club Notes
Th# Tarry.a-while Club met at
the home of Mrs. Geo. Carlisle
and was called to order by the
president, Mrs. Ed Casteel. The
roll call was responded to by
cboioe quotations. The minutes
of la4 meeting were read by the
secretary and approved. The pro-
gram was rendered as previously
prepared, but the recitation given
by Mrs. Carlisle was especially en-
joyed aB it was rendered in ber
usual talented way.
The program oommittee, Mes-
dames Whitlock and Gilmore,
then gave the members a contest
in the form of a country lady's or-
der to the store, which was to be
answered by cities. Mrs. Yaley
secured the prize for the most cor-
rect answers. Then the hostess
gave an age oontest and Mrs. Cas-
teel and Mrs. Ryan answered the
greatest number correctly and was
awarded lovely bon bon plates.
Then all the members with two
visitors, Messrs. Johnson and Yal
ey, enjoyed a treat of fruit salad
with Nabisco's and wafers. To
say it was greatly enjoyed is plac-
ing it very mildly. After a time
spent in pleasant conversation all
went to their respective homes
hoping the club would again soon
be invited to this hospitable home
They will next meet in two weeks
with Mrs. Todd.

Resolutions of Condolence
Maramec, Okla., Sept. 2, 1911.
Headquarters Maramec Poet No.
35, GK A. R.
The following resolutions were
in behalf of the late Com-
uad Covey, who died at
Yale, Monday, August 7, 1911:
Whereas, the hand of an allwise
Commander has seen fit to remove
from our rank and file by that
dread messenger known as death,
and whereas, he has gone to be
enrolled in the Grand Army now
gone before, therefore be it re-
solved by the members of Mara-
mec Poet No. 35 that we extend
our heart felt sympathy to the be-
reaved family of our late comrade
and refer them to the Great Com-
mander, who doeth all things well
for comfort, in the lose of a good
oitizen and father.
He was a member of Co. B, 39
Regiment, 111. Vol. Inf. His two
sons, Roy and Lester and four
brothers survive him. He served
four years and four months until
the close of the war.

Face The Sun
Don't bunt after trouble, but look for
success;
You'll find what you look for—don't
look for distress;
If you sec but your shadow, remember,
I pray,
That the sun is still shining, but you're
in tha way.
Don't grumble, don't bluster, don't
dream and don't shirk;
Don't think of your worries, but think
of your work.
The worries will vanish, the work will
be done,
No mau sees his shadow who faces the
sun!
