OF the club met at the home of
Mrs A Il lgecomb at G:30 aud the
start was made 10y sleigh from
there, seventeen being packed in
a bob sled box. The ride out to
the home OF Mr. D,ty was jolly
one, the eedats members OF the
club being boys aud girls again
under the Influence of the sleigh
ride. When the party reached
their destination MIR and Mrs
Doty were on the porch to welcome
them. After the greetings were
over and the party had been
",hawed out" the roll was called
and the following were found:
Mr. and. Mrs G p Smiley,
Mr. aud Mrs A b Warner,
Mr. and Mrs M G Burbank,
MIR and Mrs Frank Hoyer,
Mr. and Mrs A Elgecomb,
Mr. and Mrs r. 81 Harris,
Mrs q G Lahman,
Mr. and Mrs + Foss and Mr. and
Mrs } u Lyon, invited guests of
the club.
The evenings program was
opened by Ms A d Warner, who
read part of the proceedings of
the Federated Clubs of Iowa, aud
made few remarks on the same.
Mrs Smiley, as president of the
club, called on each member of
the club for few remarks on the
subject, which was on compulsory
education and manual training in
the schools. Mr. Wilson Doty was
called on aud gave his views in
very concise manner from q
farmers standpoint.
Music was then the order for
half an hour, Mr. Oscar Doty fur
nishing some excellent music on
tho violin, Mrs A b Warner pre-
siding at the piano. Old familiar
songs we're INDUCED in by the
assembled guests, Geo p Smiley
carrying off the honors as the
sweet singer of the evening.
At 1920 the dining room was
thrown open and the guests we're
invited to partake of splendid
|repast of oysters and fried chick
en-. Right here is where the male
members of the Art club shine to
their best advantage, and they
covered themselves with glory on
this occasion, Messrs Burbank
and Hoyer getting the blue rib
bon as the most successful "feed-
ers." After supper was over Mr.
Wilson Doty favored the club
with several selections on the
violin, his old fashioned tunes be-
ing treat for all He took the
audience by storm when he played
cold Zipp Coon" and danced an
accompaniment to the fiddle"
Our celebrated musical friend,
G P Smiley, favored the audience
with one of Rube Jones' cele-
DRAFTED selections on the violin.
Smiley was encored time and
again but absolutely refused to
play another "piece."
At about midnight the club
prepared for the return journey,
feeling that to Mr. and Mrs Wilson
Doty we're they indebted for one
of the most enjoyable evenings
the club had spent during the
winter. AT one O'Clock this morn
ing the party arrived home feel
ing "glad that they had been
there"

DR.. Andrews "Don'ts,"

In a lecture before the summer
school of the University of Chicago
last Wednesday, DR.. E. Benjamin An
drews. president of the University of
Nebraka, gave certain advice for the
guidance of parents in rearing chill
dren that seems to have astounded
a portion of the Chicago press and
provoked it into comparing Andrews
with such sensational university per-
formers as Chicago's own Starr and
Triggs. The particular passage of
President Andrews remarks which
has caused all the excitement is this /:
Don't teach your children to fear
God. Don't teach them the doctrine
of eternal damnation. Don't muddle
their brains with the theory of original
sin. Don't scare them with the devil
Don't worry them about baptism.
Don't discuss with them whether they
are to be justified by faith and works
Don't puzzle them with the doctrine
of predestination and free will. Above
all don't teach them that they have any
better chances of heaven than the lit.

MORAL SUASION.

The state Trades and Labor coun-
ell at Livingston has adopted, with
reservations, the platform of the Den
yer convention and concurred in it's
action along those lines. The reso-
luton adopted is:
Whereas, the two national com
mittees of the Western Federation of
laid down certain well defined princi-
pies and rules of action which shall
govern the rank and file of organized
labor throughout the West in the So
luton of the great economic and poll
teal problem confronting labor today,
ana
Whereas, these two foremost organ
iZations have in positive and unmis-
taxable terms declared themselves
in favor of socialism, now, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That we, the ninth an
nual convention of the Montana
Trades and Labor Council, take this,
our first opportunity to approve of
and concur in the action taken by
These two Denver conventions and
that we, though realizing that we
have no control over any individual
member or union, recommend to all
unions affiliated with this council to
adopt in the economic as we'll as
the political field a clear and distinct
policy in harmony with the spirit and
letter of these Denver organizations,
and to make them effective by Wig
orous policy of education along the
lines of political economy"

WOODS HOLE.

Prof Elrod, the leading biologist of
Montana, has delighted in Bigfork,
with a lower case f. as unique
name and station for mis- work, but
he will have to resign in favor of
Woods Hole, of which the Standard
gives this graphic description:
Announcement is made that opera
tions of Mr.. Carnegie's $1O,OOO,OOO
educational institution for experts
have begun. They have begun at
Woods Hole, Mass. The finest bio
logical laboratories in the world will
be established at Woods Hole. The
headquarters of the institution are to
be in Washington, but advanced bio
logists who desire still further to adj
vance in biology will go to Woods
Hole. 1t was Professors Loeb and
Matthews, of the University of Chi
cago, who selected Woods Hole as
the most advantageous place for the
pursuit of higher biology in Amer
lea. At Woods Hole the facilities
for squeezing the essence out of

Ell. Woods Hole being on the sea-
coast, everything from the genesis of
the life of a Goldfish to the anatomical
structure of bedbug can be pa
tiently, philosophicaIly and profoundly
studied at Woods Hole. A new era
in biological science will be trium-
phantly begun at Woods Hole. With
out money and without price all the
leading biologists of the world will,
on Mr.. Carnegies invitation and at
Mr.. Carnegie's expense flock to
Woods Hole until Woods Hole is
full of them. They will all saw wood
at Woods Hole, and from a mere
hole in the ground they will lift
Woods Hole up and give Woods Hole
a fame and a glory that shall rivet
the attention of the world on Woods
Hole.

yes, labor must be given its fill
of object lessons. 1t must have ocular
demonstration that it's pleadings for
favorable laws are spurned, that the
powers of government are against ii
in strikes and lockouts, The class
struggle is not theory, but con
dition!
when labor has learned it's les
son well, probably it will cease to
worship a Hanna or a Johnson; will
overcome petty prejudices, and stand
up for labor at the polls as well as

Day celebration, the Kalispell unions
have won the respect of all good citi-

or city officials will surely not ignore
the request Oh the Trades and Labor
assembly in the matter of granting

The Suns Fund For
A Christmas Tree.

The Sun Is receiving donations ev-
cry day for the Christmas tree fund
and is assured of its success. The
number of poor to be taken care of
this year is very large however, and
the task of giving each deserving one
something will be big one.
While the responses to our appeals
for assistance have been generous still
there are q good number of people who
should contribute to the fund and
have not. II is only by working to-
gether that much goo1 can be done
in work of this nature and The Sun
again asks that every man. woman
and child in Psducsh help us in this
lsudable work. We are not doing it
for glory but simply desire that those
poor people in the city for whom the
prospects of a Christmas of any sort
arc but little, shall, for once, taste of
the pleasures of this great feast day.

DEAL ABOUT CLOSED
II is Said the Combine Will Get the
Paducah Ways.
$40, 200, Approximately Reported to
Be the Price-Officers Say Deal Is
Not Quite Contaminated.
TRANSFER ABOUT JANUARY

The deal for the Paducah marine
ways, mentioned yesterday, has been
practically contaminated, according to
report, but officers of the ways do
not consider 1t clinched. 1t is
thought, according to one of them, that
the contamination will take place
January and the plant be then turn
ed over to the combine.
Captain Ed Howard went to Cairo
and Mound City last night, and had
nothing definite to say. 1t was said
today that the price agreed on for
the ways is in the neighbornood Of
$40, 900, and the date of transfer will
be January 1.
A great deal of interest is taken in
the deal, especially IN steamboat cir
Giles, because it may mean a great deal
to them, rs well as to Paducah. A
prominent river man said today:
Captain Howard represents a syn
dictate that with the Paducah marine
ways will control every one on the
Ohio river. This means that the COM
bine can throw as much or as little
work as they desire to the Psducah
ways, and further that we men who
have boats to repair, instead of the
benefits of compe tition we have had
will have to pay the combines prices
or go to marine ways somewhere else.
The report mentioned yesterday that
the syndicate would close the ways
here in case they secured them, was
probably without foundation, although
the syndicate has not apprised anyone,
so far as could be learned, Of its inten-
tions.
