Patriotic Day
Over COO friends and members of
he Christian Reformed church spent

A. H. TeSelle's canteen proved to be
a very popular affair.
During recess in the program and
ifter it was over, everyone joiued in
naking things pleasant by cracking
jokes and entering into harmless
iports. To put it in a few words:
everybody was in for a good time and
everybody had a good time.

den Dramatic Company made a grand
hit with their comedy play, "Above
the Clouds." It waa given In Jaml
esou's Hall and the place was pack
ed to the limit. The parts were all
so well taken that It would be hard
to say who waa the star-actor and
the appellation seems to shift owners
nearly every time we" hear the play
liscussed. Mr. J. H. Oale, the dlrec
or, deserves the highest praise for
lite excellent "make-up" of the ebar
aeteis.
The spectators, in fact, were so well
pleased with the play that they are In
sisting that it be played augln in the
near future.
Below is the cast of characters..

J. B. Oale.
Alfred Thorp, villian, Fred Sajeur.
Amos Qaylordi father, Geo. De Witt
Howard Uaylord, son, H. E. Stuart.
Titus Turtle, gormand, Ceo. Hall.
Nat Naylor, poet) Frank Kuapp.
Curtis ciiipmau, chipps, Jim Stark.
Hester Thorn, deserted wife,
Mrs. Certy.
ilrace Ingulls, artist, Mrs. Beach.,
Lucretia Uerrish, spinster, Mrs. Hall.
Susy Cay lord, soubrette, Edith Harris.
The I.y nden Dramatic Company will
repent their comedy play, "Above the
Clouds" at Jamleßou's hall In Lynden
on July ltiih. The play made a great
hit on the Fourth and the manage
ment has decided to repeat It for the
benefit of those who wish to hear IV
again, and for those who were out of
town on the Fourth. Tickets will be
