The fifteenth annual novelty parade and ball of the Callithumpian Associa¬ tion will be held frum Brooklyn Hall on Thanksgiving Day, November 26; parade starts at 10 :15 a. m.; dancing at 8 p. ni. sharp. Music will be furn¬ ished by Wulfing's Orchestra.
The committees are as follows:
Floor (Jommittee—Jack Mauersberg¬ er, Norman Dean, George Preziosi, Leroy Smith, Harold Loonam, Harry Bornscheuer.
Committee of Arrangements -Jack Mauersoerger, William Pearsall, Otto Gott.schaldt, Harry Pearsall, Robert Ryder, liernard Lbonnm. Angley Prez iosi, Bert Haff, Russell Randall, Al bert Forbes.

A member of tbe committee which gave the entertainment, "A Night in Dream iand," at the American Theatre, recently, takes exception to our state¬ ment regarding this affair in oar last issue. She informs us that Mr. Well¬ ington, the man who had charge of the entertainment, was eminently fair in his treatment (although we did not mean to imply that he was not) and that the reaaon that the profits were not bigger was because of that fact that the en^rtainment was not as largely attended na hoped. While Mr. Wellington worked hard on this entertainment for several weeks prior tu the event, it is estimated that the profits from the performances includ¬ ing the advertising program, will amount to less than $800, of which Mr. Wellington will receive 50 per cent., as per agreement.
As was announced, the money re ceiveil by the committee will be uaed for woik among the poor of the vil- l»K*-
tation is extended to all to attend.
The Woman's Missionary Society of | the Presbyterian Church met in thej Chapel on Wednesday afternoon withj Mrs. H   J. Raymore as leader. i
After the usual opening exercises a ' talk on mission work in Mexico as it was forty years ago was given by I Mrs A. J. Parks, who was herself a I missionary to that country, and spoke i from personal experience, Vrs. Parks was in Mexico during one of their, i many revolutions. The talk was very interesting. At that time there were very few Americans in that country.
A devotional service was conducted by Mrs. Raymore on the subject, "iNearness to God." The service was very helpful.
A talk on the study class book, "The Child in the Midst," was given by Mrs. J. M. Baxter. The word pic¬ tures of child life and motherhood in lands where the story of the Babe of Bethlehem has not been heard, will not soon be forgotten.
The meeting closed with "All Hail the Power of Je.sus' Name."
It was decided to hold all meetings of the society in the chapel on the first Wednesday of each month at 3 o'clock.
A box and barrel sent to Rev. B. F. Russell of Blackstock, S, (;., was re¬ ported. The value of the two was $53.61.

TRACTOR STUlK AT FIRE Lest somebody fails to   know   abnut it, I will mention that the new tractor was stuck   at   the   fire   last   Saturday night, whi|^ pulling off the side of the road into soft sand.   This will give my friends who were opposed to   the   pur¬ chaae of this apparatus a chance to say "I   told  you   so,"   and here is hoping that they enjoy themselveK.     I cannot resist   the   opportunity   to   make   the comment, however, that this is nothing | to cry about,as there have been a num-1 ber of occasions in the history   of   the ' Freeport Fire Department when horse j

Automobiles still continue to hinder lhe working of the department. Sat¬ urday night Ben Greve, of Hose '2, jumped off to hold up a car which was following their wagon too close. Greve bad on a fireman's uniform cap, and a rubber coat, so there was no excuse that the autoists did not know of bin aullhjrily.

Fire
Saturday evening at 7:i;ti Call 64 took the fire department to a barn fire on Sigmond Streel, near Madison I Avenue, and west of Bayview Avenue. The fire had gained such headway that I the reflection was seen at foint Look¬ out Beach, several miles away, some tirr-p iK'for" the alarm was blown.
There arc no hydrants in this imme- diate vicinity, the nearest one being on Rose Street, about ."lOli feet away. Hose 3 lai<l acrost lots frorn this, and the next available one was at Madison Avenue and Merrick Road, about 1000 feet away. All fbe hose from Hose 2 was used for this long line, and two short lines from Hose 4 were "sia- mesed" to the enil of this longer one, thus giving three streams of water. The barn was filled nearly to the roof with salt hay, and it was necessary for the firemen to pitch over all this hay before they could leave,a» a stream of water will penetrate but « short dis¬ tance into hay, and in a few minutes the fire will break out again, if left alone.
