ANNUAL ROLL CALL
Th annual roll call day of the Lad
ies Aid has passed into history but it
will long be remembered by those
who enjoyed- the day. About 40
ladies were present not to mention
all the babies and at noon they sat
down to a bountifully loaded table
and dare we enumerate the good
things to eat. Let me see! There
were salads, lots of 'em, and all good
there was Coconut cake, devils food
cake, sponge cake, whipped cream
cake, pink cakes, white cakes, dark
akes, yellow cakes, there was cher
ry pie, lemon pie, cream pie; there
was hot meat loaf, hot coffee, baked
beans; peas, and other things which
perhap's we didn't see or hear about
Following this sumptuous dinner was
a short program which was good.
The program follows:
Piano duet, Mrs. Crawford, Mrs.
Lee; Reading Mrs. Cramer; Solo,
Mrs. Crawford; Reading, Mrs. Her
eim; Violin and piano, Mrs. Wick
;ander and Mrs. Crawford.
Especial mention should be made
of Mrs. Margaret Cramer's reading
Which was especially good. The sel
ection she gave was an original poem
based on the question of Capital
Punishment, which will be printed in
the next issue of the Mirror.
The contest was good
and it was well rendered. We hope
we may be permittted to have it
printed in the next issue of the Mir
ror so that all may read.
After the program Mrs. Crawford
the Secretary called the roll and the
ladies either responded with a verse
or answered "Presenti" and some
flighty clever verses were given in
reply. All the names of those who
were there and had attended Ladies
Aid were called and a number of re
plies were received. Mrs. Burns
sent a letter of greeting; Mrs. Bal
lenger a very newsy and interesting
letter; Mrs. Bechdolt a good quota
tion; Mrs. Payne sent her greetings;
as did Mrs. Talbot, Mrs. Geo. Mefford
sent word that she wished she might
have been present.
The Secretary announced that she
wished it unde-stood that at each

Wlckland was the installing officer
and she spoke to each officer telling
them of their duties and what was
expected of them. She presented Mrs.
Boardman, president, with a gavel
and told her to use it when she
found her members' telling about
"what to do for a sick cow or. when
to use calomel," while a business
meeting was in session.
To Mrs. Crawford she gave the
emblems of her office the purse and
the pencil. The officers installed
were Mrs. Anna Boardman, pres.,
Mrs. C. G. Blayden, vice pres., Mrs.
Crawford, Sect-Treas.; Mf3. Allen
chairman of work committee; Mrs.
Johnson chairman of Missionary;
Mrs. A. T. Herim, chairman Social
committee.
After this since it was Missionary
day, Mrs. Margaret Cramer spoke a
few words on Missionary work in
Korea and told some about the
"picture brides." The topic was very
interesting and well handled. Mrs.
Crawford took charge of the home
mission topics, and spoke of her work
among the Indians. The possibility
of organizing a health Hygiene class
was discussed.
Soon after this some of the lad
ies had to leave as they worn going
on the bus and shortly the meeting
adjourned. Everyone had r lovely
time, the only possible plan was in
having such a long afternoon meet
ing that babies became tired and
fussy and some of the mothers, too
perhaps; they became tired but not
fussy.
