Dr. Tupper was introduced by Rev. W. L. Wright who in well chosen words paid him a beautiful tribute, ■eferring to his achievements as an author, speaker and minister. Before presenting the real meat of his great message, Dr. Tupper served his audience with a sort of appetizer, a succession of well told anecdotes flavored with humor which left hearers, particularly the young folks, in a more receptive mood for the more serious things that followed. The message ringing with American patriotism was such as can originate only in the heart and mind of a true American. America’s tremendous re sponsibility in the great war was clearly pointed out, as was the need for every individual to rally to the support of this responsibility. he close of the address Col. Watts Powell was asked to state the r.l purpose of the presence of Dr. Tupper. The speaker receives no mpensation for his service but takc3 a free will offering which is used to supply reading matter to the soldiers at the cantonments. Something over $20.00 was donated for this purpose. Several bright musical numbers ad ded to the entertainment of the even ing. The entire program was very much enjoyed by those present. local gaged Since the members of tl Red Cross Branch have been in making surgical dressings there has been a' shortage of material which has made it impossible for them to accomplish what they otherwise would However the work has bpen carried on as effectively as possible in spite of this hindrance with the result that more than 300 gauze dressings were shipped to the Bureau of Supplies last week. Unless material can be ob tained this part of the work will have to be dispensed with for the present. The preparation of muslin dressings will be continued however, and work along other lines will be taken up.

Tin* greatest hindrance to the mani pulation of the affairs of our govern ment at the present time is not the luck of patriotism, but the lack of in- fo|mntlon. Never before has the groat American Chautauqua been of such service to the people who have sup ported It ns it lias been since the war was forced upon us. It bus become one of the roost powerful mediums where by the government departments, upon which »$&, burden of the winning of the war must fall, may send out n per sonal message to the rural districts ns well ns to the great cities. The Chautauqua program which has been arranged for our town during the three days as advertised has but one object In view, and that Is to help win the war. It comes with messages 'of patriotism and with Instruction along vital lines, nml is worthy of the sup port of all our citizens. Not only will noted speakers and representatives from national Institutions be present, but through the Inspirational music nnd splendid entertainment numbers, we will strive to “KEEP THE HOME FIRES BURNING” while the boys are “over there.” We must not forget “the old home town," for It must bo better when the boys come baek than when they left It to tight for us.
