Our Club signed the contract as two guarantors besides many of the mem bers signed as individual guarantors. They worked assiduously for the sale of tickets. The fundamental rea son for this was Community service. On ¡Sunday of Cfiautauqua we promoted a real “ get-together” Com munity dinner. Our Club furnished and served coffee to the entire gathering. The day was a Red-letter-day for our town, in November we gave a Community hard times party which was attended by over one hundred couples. T’hruout the year we kept in mind the thought: “ H e has served, who now and then helped along his fellow-men.” Along educational lines we offered prizes to High ¡School students for the best essays on OregouHistory. TheClub devoted the month of April to the study of the measures and engaged speakers for the meetings. W e endorsed the educational measures and worked for same. In the way of diversified study we devoted a session to French cus toms and spent an afternoon with Ella Wheeler W’ilcox. In a civic way we are working and concentrating our efforts for a Club-house of which you heard something last year. W e gave a successful minstrel show which added materially to our already substantial Club-house fund of which you yet shall hear more. W e also promoted a “ clean-up-day.” W e are now working to beautify a fill on one of our main streets. W e plan to plant shrubs, add lights, etc. to make this place more attractive. W e have aided in many worthy causes and are planning a joint benefit for the Scholarship Loan fund and W om an’s building. W e arc still hoping to entertain this splendid gathering of women in our proposed new Club-house some time in the not far distant future. Our Club stands for Community Service. Individually, we believe with Mrs. W iggs, “ Good things do not really belong to me un til I have passed them on to my friends.” Respectfully submitted, MRS.

Toel, an elderly citizen of Diilias, Or., was ready to die. He had a pre monition that he would pass away because he was to he deprived of beer—his staff of life. So Dr. Toel made his last will and testament. He bequeathed to Dr. F. O. Lehman of Portland Mns. Harriet E. Smith and Walter L. Tooze Jr., I with of Dallas, in equal parts, the money due him from Carl lluner Norden of Germany in case of death taking place in consequence of an affliction of the stomach, “caused by the prohibition law depriving him of the beer he had been accus tomed to for over forty-five years." He directed that a copy of the will bo banded to the different breweries in Portland, Or., to "us- sist them in showing the people how he was murdered by prohi bí, ionists." But Dr. Toel lived too long. Even with prohibition in effect, he hung on for more than three years, so the breweries closed long before his will was made public. Dr. Toel died last Thursday at the Perkins hotel in this city, where he had gone a day or two before. He left no estate other than two isuit cases and some personal effects. War with Germany wiped out the amount due him from an estate there. MEMORIAL DAY, MAY 30, 1920. Tread lightly! Speak softly!
