The Sunday afternoon program was
made particularly attractive aud valua-
ble by the instructions gwen primary
class by John Wasson and Mrs. Ida Nj.

attract aud hold the attention OF the

and the hour WAS made OF very great ln-
terest TO the adults ns we'll lis children.
The Fowler quartet WIS an important
factor in the program. 1t was composed
OF Rey. B. +. Baker, Henry Fosdick, U.
s. Ringer and Roy Teele. The frequency
with which they were called for testified
the appreciation of the audience.
Sunday evening the new NJ. Z. church
was crowded with congregation which
showed that Manzanola had shared fully
in the marked progress OF the valley in
past two years. A happier or more pros
porous looking crowd it would be hard
to find. All were well dressed, the ladies
averaging up in good looks with any Sec
ton OF the state, and their hats and bon
nets showing that the latest aud best
styles of millinery were in reach OF a.
large proportion.
One speaker in paying tribute to the
hospitality OF the Manzanolans intimated
that the style OF living was ON the gout-
producing order and that there was 60
ing to be painful contrast in the bill of
fare when the delegates got home again.

Keil's Millinery Parlor. Ladies'
and Misses Kid Gloves fitted and
