Mr. Kessler is in the service and is probably overseas. Mrs. Evalina Bengston is recuperating from a slight injury received from a fall. The Chronicler has been asked to report that the Carancahua Community responded nobly to the National War Fund Drive. Over hundred dollars was sent in. Carancahua is a small community and none of its citizens are wealthy. The contributions in many cases meant self denial.

Miss Mary Routh, demonstrator, conducted a most skillful and helpful demonstration on the boning and canning of chicken. Rev.

The Chronicler sheds “Crocodile tears” as she corrects an error in her last column. Clifton Frankson is not in Mexico but in Las Cruze, New Mexico attending the A. M. and A. College there. He writes that the work is rather hard. Emphasis is placed on mathematics and his only training in math was taken at the “little ole Carancahua school house,” but the Chronicler knows “Kiffie” and calmly cheers him on. The Chronicler wishes to express “One Woman’s Opinion” in regards to Wolf Hunting. It is good, clean sport, it is beneficial, but it should not be indulged in on the Lord’s Day. Sunday after Sunday the baying of dogs and the blowing of horns has worked havoc with the nerves of those who want to served the Good Shepherd who give his life to save his sheep from ravening wolves, but who carefully asked that His Day be kept holy.
