potato shower.
Visitors from abroad in the
persons of Mrs. U. B. Taylor of
Ottumwa, Iowa, president of the
the Phyliss Wheatly club of that
city and Mrs Dyer of Lincoln,
[11. These ladies were highly
pleased with the work of this
noble club and said many things
which helped to encourage the
faithful few in their untiring la
bor for good.
Mrs. Roie Hunter our ex-pres
ident, in a very few words ex
pressed her earnest desire to be
one of the ten ladies to solicit $1
or more per month for the piano

yuendable in that it is for the
pleasure and comfort of the L.
O. P’s. Home. Look out for the
boxes on entering the drug stores
mentioned last week, and leave
your yennies and dimes.
