ftAGB TWO THE ROBESON I AN THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1918. WOMAN'S CLUB WORK High Ideal of Public Duty Will Result in Civic Beauty for Lum berton Looking Forward to a River-Front Park. (It is regretted that this report was not printed in Monday's Robesonian. It was rece'ved Saturday afternoon, in time to have gotten jn Monday's paper, but engagements that could not be put off, and sickness, brought us to Monday morninjr without having read the report. Then a storm of oth er things demanded attention and caused us to take a chance and hold it over for the next paper without read ing it over to see if there was any thing in it demanding immediate at tention Editor ) . Reported for The Robesonian. The woman's club met in the direc tor's room of the National Bank of Lumberton Wednesday afternoon, June 12th, Mrs. N. A. McLean, presid ing. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Mrs. N. A. Mc Lean, president; Mrs. H. H. Ander son, vice president; Mrs. H. M. Mc Allister, corresponding secretary; Mrs. John Knox treasurer; Miss Mary G. McNeill, recording secretary. Inspiring reports from the Federa tion convention in Raleigh, May 28th, were made by Mesdames N. A. Mc Lean and H. M. McAllister, delegates representing the club. These ladies carried a most creditable report of the work done by the club during the past year, the first year of its exist ence. The president reported that the fund for local use realized from the December Red Cross Seal sale is be ing used for the treatment of a wom an tubercular patient at Montrose. The patient is from Lumberton. Miss Vivian Townsend, chairman of Meadowbrook cemetery committee, reported that the town authorities are now engaged in cleaning ditches, and placing driveway signs through the cemetery. The club is grateful to Mrs. J. A. Sharpe for a gift of bulbs for the graded school grounds. Mrs. Sharpe is chairman of the committee on park grounds. The club suggests that any one having vigorous plants or seed that they may wish to donate to the town will send them to Mrs. Sharpe 's residence by Wednesday evening of the present week. The committee will on Thursday employ a gardener to do the necessary work. The beautiful landscape gardening recently done by Mr. W. I. Linkhaw along the river front was discussed and commended by the ladies, and the secretary was directed to write Mr. Linkhaw a letter of appreciation and approval of his lovely work. Some kindred spirit of a past generation has left to the town an invaluable legacy in the magnificent shade trees now the joy and pride of every citizen of the town. Let us 'aithfully pre serve our splendid oaks; and let us keep Mr. Linkhaw's gift a constant reminder of the possibilities of our one great natural beauty the lovely Lumbee. Ruskin in his Vision of England that he kept constantly before the English eye said: "The idea of self denial for the sake of posterity, practicing present economy for the sake of debtors yet unborn, of pant ing forests that our descendants may live under their shade, seldom is rec ognized publicly. God has lent us earth for our life; it is a great entc-d. It belongs as much to those who are to come after us, and whose names are already written on the book of creation, as to us; and we have no right by anything that e do to de prive them of benefits which it was in our power to bequeath." The woman's club seeks to hold Mr. Ruskin's vision before the citizenship ot our town. Only by being con stantly mindful of all that tends to civic beauty can Lumberton be made a truly beautiful place to live in and environment has a telling effecl on the lives of a people. The club is aware that energy and expenditure is being directed toward the great war, so it does not seek an aggressive and immediate action along civic lines, either for town or club, but makes the suggestion that pending the termination of the war that town authorities permit no further erection of buildings along the town's water front, reserving it for eventual devel opment of a park. Mesdames J. A. Sharpe and James Proctor and Miss Mary G. McNeill were anpointed a committee to place the plan before Hooray! Baby To Rule the House No Longer Do Women Fear The Great est of All Human. Blessings. the proper authorities. There will be no further formal meetings of the club throughout the shmmer, but from time to time the president will call together the chair men of the various departments. BEAUTIFUL HOME WEDDING. Marriage of Miss Pearl Mae Shep pard and Mr. D. A. Shaw. WINTER AT ERIE TERMINAL. To the Editor of The Robesonian: Just enough space, please for the enclosed verse. My company was do ing guard last winter on the Erie Railroad Co's premises, the coldest place along tne Hudson river, and we were quartered in one of their old dis carded stations, and these little verses were composed by the company Good wishes to all. Signalman G. G. RHODES, 5th U. S. Regulars. Fort Schuyler. N. Y., June 13, 1918. WINTER AT ERIE TERMINAL. Talk not to me of Valley Forge, and frozen heroes there, Of icicles suspended aglitter in mid air; Oh, speak not of that water as the deepest ever seen I slept in Erie Terminal in the winter of '17. The troops of old Napoleon from Mos cow to Paree, Had something on the Esquimos, but not a thing on me. The Russian snows were warming, and those Russian fields were green Compared with Erie Terminal in De cember '17. Oh, December is a balmy month, some times, perhaps, somewhere, , With underwear all fluttering, and rose scents in the air; But if you want to see it as ft no where else is seen, You should have come to Erie Ter minal in the winter of '17. BUT THIS IS THE WAY I FEEL.' In my castle on the Rhine I'm going to have a helluva time; Inlaid pretzels on the floor, German butler at my door; Eat Christmas dinner in the town of Berlin; jing my pants on the Hindenburg line, In my castle on the river, Rher on the castle, Castle on the River Rhine. Correspondence of The Robesonian. Pembroke, June 18. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Russell H. Livermcre was the scene of a beautiful home wedding on Wednesday, the 12th, when Mr. D. A.

Grantham, St. Pauls; Thomas McNeill and Ralph Shaw, Lumberton; Mrs. W. D. Sheppard and Mrs. Martin, Red Springs. Coal Shortage May Be Worse Next Winter. The coal shortage probably will be more keenly felt next winter than last, according to representatives of the United States Mine Workers Uiion cf America, who are attending the annual convention of the American Federation of Labor in St. Paul, Minn. Discussion of the coal situation arose after a resolution requesting the fed eration to lend its efforts to obtain coal for the New England district had been adopted. DOING THEIR BIT.

The itching is al most unbearable, and the skin seems on fire with the burning irritation.
