Vol. 4 September 1917 No. I 



This is GUI' bii-thday, thank you ; we are four 

 years old, young, but full of ambition and learn- 

 ing more and more your desires and dislikes. 



We have lighted the candles — one, two, three, 

 four — and while enjoying our party, we feel 

 kindly toward our fellow fanciers who have with 

 their kindly thoug'hts, words and deeds, made it 

 possible for us to offer you this number as our 

 mark of appreciation, which we hope you will 

 enjoy as much as it has been our pleasure to 

 prepare. 



However it is but a beginning, and another 

 year hence we hope and fully expect to give you 

 something that will far surpass this humble 

 offering. 



We pride ourselves on being on time each 

 month, a resolve we made long ago, but which 

 we are going to break for one month — our October 

 1917 number. Why? Because our Annual 

 Exhibition will be held the latter part of this 

 month, as announced elsewhere in these columns, 

 and we want to tell you the story in detail. 

 Therefore the October issue will not be published 

 until October 15th. 



Little four-year old children must retire early, 

 friends, and we ask you to excuse us, therefore, 

 from the party, that we may be bright and fresh 

 when we appear before you in October, on the 

 fifteenth.
