He believed that young men should 
serve first. 
“It was the boys who saved the 
Union in ’61 and it will be the boys 
who will save the nation in any other 
war,” he said. He read a poem, 
“Where is Your Flag?” particularly 
appropriate at this time. 
Frank L. Kirchgassner of Arling- 
ton, past division commander, brought 
the greetings of the division com- 
mander and paid a tribute to Edward 
W. Baker of Manchester for his ser- 
vices as a past division officer. 
Hon. C. O. Bailey of Newbury told 
of the enlistment of his father and a 
schoolmate in the war of the rebellion. 
He said his father fought through the 
entire war, but his companion died of 
fever in the swamps of Louisiana. 
“The name of my father’s comrade, 
who died in his arms and was buried 
beside the Mississippi river, was Ly- 
man Floyd,” he said. For that rea- 
son, he said, he was always ready to 
respond to an invitation to come to 
Manchester. Speaking of the present 
crisis he said there never was a time 
which called for greater patriotism. 
He urged the teaching of American 
ideals and of patriotism in the public 
schools, which he declared were the 
foundation of our institutions. 
The living charter members of Col. 
H. P. Woodbury camp were all pres- 
ent and were requested to stand. 
Those who remain of the original 22 
are F. W. Bell, Samuel L. Wheaton, 
who was the first commander of the 
camp, Lyman W..Floyd, Edward W. 
Baker, Howard E. Morgan of Bev- 
erly ‘arms, Arthur S. Dow and Isaac 
T. Baker of Brookline. The roll call 
concluded the exercises. Among 
those from out of town, who sent re- 
eponses, were Thomas A. Baker of 
St. Augustine, Fla.; Carroll Crombie 
ce? Battle Creek, Mich.; Henry B. Me- 
Collom of Bridgeport, Conn.; George 
Pitts; Curtis B. Stanley of Spring- 
field: Roy B. Stanley of Woodlawn 
Heights, New York City, and George 
R. Stewart of Newburyport. 
Following the exercises Thompson 
Blood of Boston entertained with 1m- 
personations and readings. With the 
assistance of Frank L. Jones, the 
pianist, he gave impersonations of the 
various countries at war and conclud- 
ed with one of Uncle Sam, “the fel- 
low who doesn’t know just where he 
does stand at present.” He gave im- 
personations of Ray L. Royce in the 
characters of the breach of promise 
suit and of the late Ezra Kendall. 
His last character sketch was in 
“rube” dialect and costume. The pre- 
vious impersonations were without 
the assistance of makeup. 
Refreshments of ice cream and cake 
were served after the entertainment. 
The Best Workmanship 
and its resulting satisfaction does not always mean a larger price. 
In watch repairing we know that the service which we render 
cannot be excelled; that the quality of our work is above criticism; 
and that our prices are no higher than you have been paying for 
inferior, unsatisfactory work. 
Ask the man whose watch we have repaired.

ANNUAL GUEST NIGHT 
HARMONY GUILD, MANCHESTER, EN- 
TERTAINED MEMBERS AND 
FRIENDS. 
The Congregational chapel, Man- 
chester, was well filled Monday eve- 
ning by the members of Harmony 
Guild and their friends, on the occa- 
sion of the annual guest night of the 
guild. A program of more than usual 
merit was presented by Miss Jean 
MacDonald, contralto, and Miss Ma- 
belle Tarr, reader, both of Boston. 
After a brief introductory welcome 
by Mrs. F. Leonard Floyd, vice-presi- 
dent, who presided in the absence oi 
Miss Annie L. Lane, president, the 
evening’s program was turned over 
to the two young women entertainers. 
Miss MacDonald had been heard in 
Manchester before. She received a 
hearty welcome Monday evening 
therefore. Her selections were all 
well rendered and she was called on 
for encores after every number. Her 
songs were as follows: “The Swal- 
lows,” by Swan; “The Song of a 
Persian Captive,” Daniels; “Where 
My Caravan Has Rested,” Lohr; 
“Down in the Forest,” Ronald; “Deep 
River,” Fisher; “Carmena,” Wilson ; 
“Foggy Dew,” Fox, and a Banjo 
song, by Homer. At the end of the 
~togram, Miss MacDonald consented 
{a sing a group of songs, not in the 
criginal program, as follows: “What’s 
in the Air Today,” Eden; “The Night- 
ingale Has a Lyre of Gold,’? Whel- 
pley; “The Owl,” Wells, and “The 
Dancing followed until midnight. 
Long’s orchestra furnished music. 
Fruit punch was served during the 
dancing. Favors in the form of 
“Uncle Sam’ fans were distributed. 
Elf Man,” Wells. 
Miss Tarr’s readings were un‘tsual- 
lv good. She gained instant favor by 
her reading “J. W. Jones—hemely 
man,” with wonderful expression and 
vivid pictures. Her next selection 
was from “Twelfth Night,” in which 
she portrayed several characters. As 
an encore she gave a funny little 
character sketch entitled ‘Tender 
Hearted Mrs. Jedediah.” For an- 
other insistent encore she gave in 
French dialect “An old story told in 
a new way.” Her next member was 
one of Booth Tarkington’s humorous 
stories. As a closing selection she 
gave a one-act play, “The Traveling 
Man,” in I[rish dialect for the most 
part, which was as good as anything 
we have heard for many a day. Miss 
Tarr displayed wonderful talent and 
she certainly pleased her hearers, who 
called her back time and again for 
encores. 
Following the entertainment ice 
cream and cake were served by a com- 
mittee of young women. ‘The eve- 
ning proved a most pleasant one for 
the large number who were present. 
“THE BLUE PARADISE.” 
Having terminated a highly success- 
ful engagement of seven weeks at Y° 
Wilbur Theatre, “The Blue Paradise,” 
the reigning Viennese musical sensa- 
tion of the season, now makes new 
appeals to music-loving theatre-goers 
at the Shubert Theatre, the ninth and 
last week of the Boston run beginning 
next Monday. In its new surround- 
ings it proves more popular than ever. 
After seeing this piece the habitual 
theatre-goer’s jaded appetite is re- 
freshed because of its remarkable mu- 
sic, the logical continuity of its plot 
and the smoothness of its execution.
