The Art Embroidery Club.

The ladies who compose the above
club are so called, we suppose. be-
cause they are all artists and en-
broiderers. Artists they are, for they
excel in most anything they under
take, and their variety of entertain
ing, kept up from one years end to
another, makes them wear their
thinking caps continually. Tue-day
evening Mrs. Alf Humphreys and Mrs
Frazer entertained the club and their
husbands at the home of Mrs. Frazer.
The novelty feature of the evening
was an auction sale of disguised val.
uables, and the auctioneer-words
cannot describe Sandy Taylor, for
there is none so funny as he. The
currency of the evening was beans,
plain every day beans, but the arti-
cles bought we're akin to the auc-
tioneer, for they battle description.
A diamond pin (dime and pinl curl of
hair, set of dishes smallest size) were
among the many articles that were
bought by the eager buyers. What
will they do next time?

w. G.. T. u. Meeting.

The midyear meeting of the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union
of Logan county was held in the NJ.
E. church at Rushsylvania, Ohio.
Thursday, April 9, 1908. Quite a
number of delegates from other
places were expected, but owing 10
a delay of the trains only two or
three were able to get there. This
disappointment very much impeded
the work of the convention. But
nothing daunted, we went over our
program and had a very good meet
ing. Mrs. Trick and Mr.. Smith IA
vored us with music. Mrs. Carroll,
of Harper, read very fine paper on
"Our Work." and Miss Stewart gave
Us reading, entitled SIN the Kegs,
which was very well received. Rev.
Howser, pastor of the M. f. church,
made few remarks, and Mrs. Day,
County President, gave brief sketch
of the State Convention last Fall.
Considering all things, we had very
good meeting.

WALKING Skirts.

Navy blue and gray walking skirts
are very much in demand: you will
find today in our stock perhaps more
navy blue skirts than we have ever
shown at any one time in walking
lengths. They range ip price, in
strictly all wool skirts, from s5 to the
finer numbers at $3.50, possibly 90 diff
ferent styles that we can show you
in navy blue skirts today. Next best
selling color to navy blue is possibly
black; we show a splendid line today
in blacks. Next to blacks in popular
ity come light and medium grays: we
show an exceptionally strong line OF
these two durable colors at s5. You
will find this class of goods to be OF
superior make and quality. Nothing
looks worse than an ill-ftting OIL
poorly made walking skirt.

Carpet Size Rugs.

There has been more selling of
large size rugs this season than we
ever knew of. Perhaps it is because
we have had the large stock to
choose from: usually stores that ad-
vertise large size rugs have only one
size which is 9x12; we do not stop at
this size alone; we have the big sizes,
9x15, 9xIs, l0ix12, 10lx13i, 12xI2, 12xl5
and 12x1s; we have them not only in
one article, but in three different
makes, FIVE frame body Brussels,
Bagdad Wilton and a Smyrna of
superior quality. There has been a
decided scarcity of these large car
pet size rugs in American manufact-
ure; the demand has been unusually
large; we have had to wait some
times as long as six months for de-
livery of choice patterns: today we
can show you possibly so different
rugs in sizes 9x12 and larger; We
would say if you can find what you
want, it would be advisable to have
it reserved. 81. M. ANNAT.

congregation eff the first Presbyte-
rian Church. Wednesday evening, to

tion, hung upon the wall and explain
ed to the meeting. He answered all
questions pleasantly and intelligent
ly and captured the meeting.
The plan provides for extending
the church north to the alley, lover
twenty-one feet,) lowering the floor
four feet, and increasing the sittings
of the auditorium $50, and with the
gallery 100 to $50 more. 1t provides
also for the putting up of Sabbath
school room at the rear, with floor
on level with the auditorium, and a
seating capacity of over 400. The
two rooms to be connected by twenty
five foot opening, and lift and drop
doors-the entire seating capacity of
of the church with galleries being
over one thousand.
Some present favored the erection
of a new church on another lot, at a
cost of of $50, 900 to $4,000.
After a free discussion, the meeting
instructed their committee to secure
plans and estimates in detail for a
new church, and a remodeled church
to report as soon as possible.
The work was good start and will

FINE MEETING
OF the Commercial Club WedneS-
day Evening.

The large attendance at the meet
ings of the Commercial Club bear
witness to the live interest our bust
ness men feel in our growing city
and the constant attention that /.
required to look after its multiply
ing industries and enterprises.
The attendance Wednesday night

portance was presented.
Eight persons were admitted to

will stop to let passengers on and off.
Pipes from the water works are al
ready laid to the buildings, and water
will be supplied by the city.

and they will want lodging for 5000
persons in the city. They will pay
25c per night for. each lodger, but

in this matter, as in others, with
great friendship and liberality.
