ship. 1t was at one time thought
that cement blocks might be used for
the building but first class wood was
finally decided to be the best. His
congregation is using the public hall
for services until the new home is
ready. The able pastor is near up to
his limit in doing pastoral work and
looking after the building proposition
but he is young and full OF strength
and will be proud happy man when

hold 200 people and many other de-
sirable rooms. The assembly room
upstairs will be much larger. There
is gallery at the south, and under
this. there will be public reading
room open free for all, at stated
hours. So it will be seen that the
Baptists of Kiron mean not only to
have plenty Of opportunity to do re-
ligious work on Sunday. but would
reach out and help the young men and
women. boys and girls in the week
days as we'll. In this. their plans
will meet the appreciation of all en-
gagged in helping the cause of right
living in the world.
On the day of laying the corner
stone the high basement walls were
just completed, and the carpenters
were beginning their work which was
hampered some by non-receipt of
lumber. AS the pastor, Rev. Lager
quist is a practical mechanic capable
of drawing the plans and contracting
to build the building, it has been de-
cided to do the work by the day
under his direction and other men
appointed by the membership. By
| this means the money is kept at home
among the members and there will
be no Misunderstanding with con-
tractor over changes if found neces-
sary. 1t is to be hoped the work will
go on to the end. like the building of
the walls Of Jerusalem. or that OF the
great temple. the members working
in harmony that all be done for the

Corner stone day was one of the
! hottest of the year so far, and so the
waiting people did their best to keep
4 in the shade and the speakers on the
4 platform were there no longer than
necessary. The pastor however, held
his own throughout the exercises.
Rev. Lagerquest brought forth the
metallic box to be placed in the stone.
Among the articles of its contents
were the pictures of all the surviving
of the original members. the church
officers. some present coins. business
cards. and copies of the latest issues
OF the Kiron News and Denison Re-
view. During all the exercises cameras
were at work and many views taken.
"A resolution of thanks was read and
adopted by the church. thanking Hill

the corner stone and the lettering of

First Swedish Baptist church of
Kiron. Iowa"
The leading address of the day,
give in the English language, was
that of Rev La Reau, the Baptist
pastor of Denison. He gave very
able and appropriate sermon, enter
ing into the things necessary for sue
cessful church society. There was
need of harmony. right living. doc
trine base on the bible, no backbiting
or scandal, support of the pastor in
his plans for spiritual work He
commented on banner placed on the
wall which asked the question as to
how the church would be if all mem
bers were like the reader of the
words. This was to incite to self ex-
animation. Rev. LaReau spoke with
clearness and force and his listeners
were much pleased.

COURT HOUSE RATS BEAT.
Friendly Contest Between Post Office Bows and
Court House Occupants.

Heiden pitcher the LIST three innings
fer Uncle Sam, allowing but one run.
Cramer was relieved by Hoffman in
9Th inning. The game terminated by
agreement at & p. M. after seven in
nings of play. The umpire of Otto
Faul was satisfactory to both sides. A
pronounced fe allure of the game was the
base running CD of Marshall of the
Federals. Left fielder, Ransom.
wore rubber gloves during the early
part of the game, but redeemed him
self in sixth inning by long throw
from left field to plate, cutting off a
score.
This was the Federals first game
and they offer no excuses, save that
they prefer cinder field with brick
backstop.
Notwithstanding the remarkable
resemblance of Pitcher Cramer to the
Great LaJoie, and the fact that he
was supported by the legal represen-
tative of the Insane commission, the
Federals showed few symptoms fof
stage fright, and are arranging for a
return game. Score. Court Houss 10,

BIG LEATHER BELT
USED Al SEATTLE

Washington state boasts the largest
leather belt ever made in the worli,
says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. The
hides of a herd of 225 steers were re-
quired to furnish the material from
which the big endless belt was built
Only the centers of the hides were used
and each of these was stretched for
weeks to insure perfectly even strength
in all parts of the proposed belt. The
belt is ia feet long, s feet wide and
three-ply thick. The weight of the belt
is something more than $500 pounds.
Not a peg, rivet or fastening OF any
kind was used to weld the pieces of
bide together. The best quality of ce
ment was used and the places where
the hides overlap welded by the weight
of a hydraulic press bearing $50 pounds
pressure to the square foot. TIE big
bet has just been installed in the new
Dempster sawmill at Tacoma, Wash.
