will sing The Sermon, in the evening will
be delivered by Rev. John w. Douglass Of
the Rowland Park Presbyterian Church,
Baltimore, Md. The collections taken both
morning and evening will be for the bene-
fit of the building fund. Rev. William T. D.

The Washington Heights Presbyterian
Church is one of the youngest congregations
of that denomination in the District of Co
lumbia. 1t was organized by the presbytery
only a few years ago with only twelve
members enrolled. At first meetings and
services were held in the old Parker Mann
house on Kalorama avenue. About five
years ago church building was constructed
on Kalorama avenue near Columbia road
From a Small Beginning.
From the small beginning with its diminu-
tive congregation the Washington Heights
Presbyterian Church has grown until at the
present time its congregation numbers
about ITO and the Sunday school has a regu-
lar attendance of about 200. For a long
time past it has been realized that the orig
inal church building was insufficient to ac-
commodate either the congregation or the
Sunday school, and last summer decision
was reached to practically remodel the
whole structure. That is the work just
completed, and it includes. in addition to q
commodious addition for the Sunday school.
the installation of fine new pipe organ,
toward the payment of which Andrew Car
negie was liberal contributor. The interior
Of the auditorium has been changed and re-
decorated and new pews of modern design
constructed.
During it's entire existence the church has
had only two pastors, the present one being
Rev. William r. D. Moss. Mr.. Mayfield is
superintendent of the Sunday school. The
improvements to be dedicated tomorrow
cost the congregation approximately $4,000
The church has wide interest in missions
and 1t not only maintains a parish at
Benito. West Africa,-but contributes liber-
ally to Porto Rico, Korea and other mis-
Sions

second military reserve, with a men,

Elk River Looking Up.

Elk Rivers new -four mill of a daily
capacity of $50 barrels will soon be
completed. The milling company
offers to furnish farmers choice seed
wheat at actual cost in order to en-.
courage them to SOW more wheat.
Years ago the old mill at Elk River
under the management of Mills &
Houlton manufactured flour of a high
grade and most of the wheat raised in
this vicinity was marketed there. The
destruction of the old mill by fire
was bad blow to the business inter-
ests of that town. The bridging of
the Mississippi has helped Elk River
not little, and the completion OF
the new flour mill will help it still
more.

The Advance in Prices.

The rise in staple prices during the
past ten years is notable. Wheat re.
cords an improvement of over so per
cent; coarse grains, on the average,
about 100 per cent. Livestock shows
SO per cent increase in quotations,
and livestock products, including fresh
meat and provisions, so to 100 per cent.
Hides, leather, and their products
show about so per cent gain. Cotton
and wool are upwards of so per cent
higher; while cotton and WOODEN
goods are in many cases 100 per cent
higher. Pigiron is about Is per cent
higher; while iron and steel products
range from so to 100 per cent higher.
Coal: coke, petroleum and gasoline
are materially higher. Lumber and
other building materials have about
doubled in selling price. In short,
the general imitation of values,
coupled with the recent shrinkage OF
about 40 per cent in railroad and in.
dustrial stocks, makes the latter about
the cheapest thing there is to buy on
the MARKET West.

A Flight of Fancy aud a Cat.

Bernardo Bernardo, who rooms
near the damsite by the mill, was
awakened on Sunday morning by
noises which he attributed to flight
of ducks. He arose hastily, grabbed
his shotgun, proceeded to the river
bank and made investigation. He
then discovered that it was merely a
flight of fancy and tomcat on the
chimney which had attracted his at
tention. Infatuated by this discovery
he let fly at the tomcat on the Chin
ney, bored hole. in a downstair
window and was precipitated into the
river by the guns rebound. Thus
ends this story of Bernardo Bernardo.

IN JOINT CONVENTION
Mile Laos County School Boards and
Teachers Association Will
Meet Here October 26.
Addresses by Supt. A. N. Farmer,
Prof. D. D. Mayne, Supt.
r1arShall and Others.

In the Princeton high school as
sembly room on Saturday, October 26,
will be held a joint meeting of the Mile
Laos county school boards and
Teachers association. President w.
A. Shoemaker of the St. Cloud
normal school, Supt. A. N. Farmer
of the St. Cloud city schools, and the
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton have signi6ed their intention of
being present and of talking on special
topics. Prof. D. D. Mayne, principal
of the state school of agriculture, and
Supt. Marshall of the Princeton pub
lie schools, will also deliver ad-
dresses.
It is the desire of the management to
make this one of the best meetings of
it's kind ever held in Minnesota
Notices will be sent out little later
to every school clerk in the county
and they in turn are expected to no.
tify the other members of their respec-
tive boards.
School boards should make an
effort to have every member present.
Three can get more information from
the meeting than one, and every
new idea gained and put into practice
is in itself worth more to the public
schools and the children therein than
the small expenditure necessary to be
fully represented at the meeting.
Those who attended last season rec
ognized the true merit in such gath
ering, and they must not hesitate to
be present this year and to use every
endeavor to have new board members
accompany them.
Keep in view the date-Saturday,
October 26, and let each member have
something to ask as to his duties as
a school officer.

Provision to advance money on
stored grain carries with it guar

j. j. Skahen Returns From Trim

John j. Skahen arrived home on
Saturday from Notre Dame, Chicago,
and points in Wisconsin. Mr.. Skahen
is a native of Wisconsin and was sur
prised at the rapid growth of the
towns in that state and the high prices
which land is bringing-tracts con-
sidered almost valueless when he
lived there now being sold at high
figures. He believes that Minnesota
lands-of which there are none better
to be found anywhere-will eventually
reach the value of those in Wisconsin,
where it is no uncommon thing to see
farms sold for 1925 per acre.

It was grown on meadow land, a half

to obtain crop the stalks of which
will average over four feet in height
for the half acre. A crop of almost
anything that grows can be produced

There lives in South America a

name by occasionally including in it's

flavor and valued as food-tonic.
