Scott, and a gala event it was, with a turkey dinner, augmented by chicken, and all that California produces to make an elaborate menu. Mr. and Mrs. Scott, the latter as Miss Rachel J. Hogan, were married Sept. 24, 1872, in Corydon, Ind., the town which I was at one time capital of the Hoosier state. The wedding was a quiet home affair with Rev. Preston McKinney officiating. After a social evening the young bride and groom left Corydon for a journey to their new home about 16 miles distant, where they were met by about 250 friends and townsmen of the bridegroom who had gathered to give them a big infare, and to show their hospitality to the little bride. Mr. Scott was the son of the genial riverman, Capt. W. W. Scott, who piloted the Robert E. Lee in the famous Natchez-Lee race on the Ohio river, and who ordered burning of bacon and corn as fuel to complete the run when the other was exhausted. Young Scott, the groom, was also a pilot and ran the blockade during the Civil war. The dinner table was centered with a large cake, leed in white with gold figures, "1872-1922", inscribed on it. The company included Mr. and Mrs. Scott, the honorees; Mr. and Mrs. H. K. Hedges and two sons, Scott and Harry, Los Angeles; Mrs. Scott being the only daughter; and Mr. Wallace W. Scott, son of Anaheim; Frank H. Scott, a son of Arizona; Clark W. Scott and family, of Anaheim; Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Cargill, H. J. Muijer, P. T.

This Work Day Co-op A Few Opinions From Leading Persons R White House PRESIDENT WARREN G.

Volunteers of America Your Consideration Organization as the Volunteers of America under the leadership of GENERATION BOOTH is particularly apparent at this time owing to the in-osequent suffering among the poor. Although a certain amount of it at all times whether business flourishes or not. AMERICA are constantly on the job. It relieves cities and churches caring for the poor and unfortunate. No other philanthropic organization does. Following, because it is long warm-hearted, non-that gives all it gets of America, devoted to respectability those of long continued adn and out." Without "red tape" and without "laborious investigation" the Volunteers of America go on year in and year out to the full limit of its ability. To the thousands who annually knock at its door, it merely asks "Do you need help?" Then it gives help! The Volunteers of America have done, are doing today, the work of the Master. Work Requires Your Co-operation Work Requires Your Co-operation of 34,601 surgical and medical treatments during the year. Maternity homes. Many a poor, misguided girl has been saved from crime and death through the blessings of these homes. There will be greater need along these lines in the coming months. The equipment needed is costly and contributions for this work urgently needed. Milk given Free—for sick babies. Medical Aid is supplied from our centers to all in need of same. Emergency Homes for women and children. Thousands of women and children pass through these homes each year. Shelter Work (temporary), 563,392 meals provided; many thousands of men and women sheltered and given aid. Thirteen homes for homeless and neglected children in New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Florida, California, Alabama, Wisconsin, Oregon, Washington. Day Nurseries. Where many children are daily cared for, thus enabling many widows to earn a living. In short, the Volunteers of America serve. Its whole spirit is the spirit of service.
