PROCTOR OFFERS BREEZY BILLS FOR THE SUMMER.

For the week of July 10 a big novelty bill will be the attraction. New York city theatres have offered bills made up entirely of girls, without a man on the stage, and Mr. Proctor has selected this week for an all-women show in Albany. There will be girl acrobats, singers, dancers, playlets in which the cast will be all girls — in fact, every turn will be presented by girls and girls only. Mr. Proctor has also instructed his film bookers to secure films in which the characters are portrayed by girls. Whether this is possible or not remains to be seen, but if it can be done his patrons can re-assured that they will be seen on the screen.
 

VIEWS OF STATE EDITORS.

With the Republicans unitedly supporting Mr. Hughes what prospect is there for the re-election of Mr. Wilson? Practically none at all. He has not strengthened himself by his administration. Instead, there is abundance of evidence that he is weaker than he was before. — Plattsburgh Press.
 

GUILDERLAND CENTER.

There was a good attendance at the evening service in the Reformed church last Sunday. The electric lights were used for the first time and are very satisfactory. The preacher preached an appropriate sermon on “Light.” The choir rendered two anthems.
 

FONT GROVE.

Verner Smith had the misfortune to shoot two of his toes off Saturday evening. Dr. Traver and Dr. Joslin attended him.
 

BERNE.

Dr. Howard Settle greatly surprised his many friends in Berne by bringing home a bride. Our best wishes are extended to the happy couple. Mrs. Settle is attending the Boston Conservatory of Music.
 

RED CROSS ACTIVITIES.

For two winters many of the women of Slingerlands have worked under the direction of the War Relief Committee of the Albany County Red Cross chapter, making garments and hospital supplies to be sent to the sufferers in Europe. More than a thousand articles have been made since last November in our own village.

Now the time has come when, in response to the appeal from the American Red Cross, we should consider the needs of our own land also. To that end the Slingerlands branch of the Albany County chapter extends an invitation to every woman in the village to enroll as a Red Cross worker during the summer.

The next meeting will be held on Friday, June 30, at 2 p.m., at the headquarters generously offered by Mrs. H. N. Saxon and work will be started at once, along the lines and according to instructions received direct from Washington.

Membership in the Red Cross is one dollar a year, which entitles the applicant to the magazine of the society. But all women are urged to assist in the sewing whether members of the organization or not. It is suggested that each worker bring scissors and thimble.
 

METHODISTS FAVOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE

General Conference of Church Indorses the Movement.

It was with no grudging voice that the Methodists indorsed woman suffrage at their general conference now in session at Saratoga Springs. The suffrage leader of Saratoga county writes: “You would certainly have enjoyed the enthusiasm with which the suffrage resolution was passed this morning by the conference. Mr. Henry Wade Rogers introduced the resolution, to which he had secured the signatures of men like ex-Governor Hanley, ex-Governor Wallace, Chancellor Day, etc.”
