The delicious was prepared by Mrs. Mayme Harrison and Mrs. Jas. T. Perkins. The junior girls acted as waitresses.

Mc­ Henry also has a few who belong to that class and we are sure that our will appreciate seeing these fellows ordered to work or fight. •e is no excuse for a man being out of employment at this time and who do not work are of the class that do not want to. However, the new law, which becomes effective on July 1,* will place these men at some useful occupation or enroll them in the service of their country. The day has come when this country of­ fers no room for idlers. now Perhaps you have no surplus money at the present time that yoii want to place on a hank account But you expect to have at some future time, at "harvard time" jperhaps, whatever it you expect to harvest. ̂ , n 1 v ; f ...
