In Aid of Coppinger Cove Church

The box supper at the Town Hall in
aid of the church in Coppinger Cove
while not attended by an overwhel-
ming crowd was generally successful.
The heavy storm which was threaten
ed about the time festivities were COM
menced, delayed things so much that
it was $3.50 before w. R. Thomas, the
auctioneer of the evening, proceeded
scientific manner. He kept up his re-
putation for making good salesman,
and raised many laugh. Austin
Coppinger thought five boxes were "a
bout enough for him, so he purchased
that number, distributing them after
wards among his young lady friends,
as of course, he couldn't eat all the
good things they contained There
were nine boxes, the highest price be-
ing paid for one was 81 90. Ice cream
was sold after the box sale and a
couple of freezers were emptied. Re-
ceipts amounted to 1913. The box
sale and supper was held in the hall
here because of the contention raised
by having such sale in the pretty lit,
tie church in Coppingerville year
ago, and it was not wanted to create
further strife. The Coppinger Cove
people are assessed $50 in support of
their pastor, and as the families there
are few and not plutocrats, it was nee
| essary to use some scheme to assist in
raising the money, hence this was re-
J sorted to.

Nature has provided the stomach with
certain natural fluids known as the d.
gestive juices and it is through these
juices that the food we eat is acted
upon in such a way as TO produce the
rich, red blood that flows through the
veins of our body and thereby makes
us strong, healthy and robust, and
it is the weakening of these digestive
juices that destroys health. 1t is our
own fault if we destroy our own
health. and yet it is so easy for anyone
to put the stomach out of order. When

Oiled Macadsm as Rain Defer.

During long continued period of
wet weather at Kansas City and vicin-
ity the merits and disadvantages of
different roads were strongly empha-
sized The dirt roads, though fairly
good in favorable weather, were al
most impossible III many places. But
the macadam roads that had been
oiled were in excellent condition. Aft
er the oil has penetrated the macadam
no amount of water can affect the
firmness of the paving. The rock roads
have heretofore been extremely dusty
in dry weather and sloppy and rutty
in wet spells. Since oil has been ap-
piled to the surface they remain prac-
tically the same regardless of the state
of the weather.

PREVENTIVE OF DUST.
Calcium Chloride Tried on a Road In
Washinqton.


Officials of the agricultural depart
ment have made experiments with the
use of calcium chloride as dust pre-
ventive, and the tests We're attended
with great success. A stretch of road
in the city of Washington was select
ed for the trial, and in preparation for
the treatment all dust and dirt were
scraped from the surface of the road
way. A solution was prepared by mix
ing 300 pounds of commercial calcium
chloride granular, containing 20 per
cent calcium chloride and 20 per cent
moisture) with 800 gallons ot water
in an ordinary street sprinkler, care
being taken to agitate the liquid thor
oughly before applying it to insure a
uniform solution. 1t was then applied
from one sprinkling head. the sprin-
kler passing slowly back and forth
over the road to facilitate the COM
plete absorption of the solution.
Each application consisted Of GOO
gallons over an area of 1852 square
yards, or OBS gallons per square yard
A marked improvement in the condi-
ton of the road was noted at once.
and after the second treatment it was
necessary to repeat the operation only
at isolated spots. The use of the wa
ter wagon, which had before made
regular trips over the road, was aban-
doned as unnecessary. The texture of
the road surface was completely
changed after the application of the
calcium chloride. Before treatment
raveling was excessive in spots, and
| the whole surface seemed loosely knit
together After the second application
this condition changed, and the road
surface became smooth, compact and
| resilient

Thirty nine Distinct Varieties of Work
by as Many Men.

the cloth and, with his apprentices,

day all one tailor may do through his
entire life is to mark the place where
buttons are to be sewed on. Another
man never marks places for buttons.
His specially is to mark buttonholes.
\ third man spends the long day in
sewing on buttons, fourth in max.
ing buttonholes. Men who sew sleeves
do not make armholes. The armhole
men give place to shoulder shapers
and these last do not touch collars
which are distinct speciality. Even
the men who manipulate the tailor's
goose are divided into pressers of
seams, edges, Innings, sleeves and coat
pressers The basters stick to one dis
tinct speciality of basting, and sep

held in the Evangelical church at

ing within few miles of the town
the attendance was small.

her subject, "Did they all reach home

Greatest responsibility rests upon
adult members of the Sunday School.
AT one time the Sunday School was
looked upon as the nursery of the

Of the church, but the real church
itself because of the Bible Study in
Sunday School statistics show that
in the period of youth most people
accept Christ but not all is done
when the decision is made, the work
of salvation is just begun. Our
future ministers of tho gospel and
missionaries come from our Sunday
Schools, and not only they, but the
very intellectual and spiritual life Of
the nation.
Our mission boards are pleading
for money now because the boys and
the girls of the Sunday Schools of
the past were not educated to give
money to missions.
Proper care is not taken in select
ing teachers in our Sunday Schools.
Teachers in our public schools are
selected with the greatest care and
are only training our boys and girls
for few years of earthly life while
our Sunday School teachers are train
ing our boys and girls for eternity.
Attention was called to the fact
that some Sunday Schools are clos
ed in the winter because of bad
weather and our public schools are
i'm session at this period and regular
ly attended showing that we place
intellectual training above spiritual
training in some communities.

tion Schaeffer designated October
23rd. for Arbor Day for the public
schools of the state, and all connect
ed with the schools are urged "to OBJ
serve the day by the planting OF
trees and other suitable exercises. "
The very best exercise for the day
of course will be tree planting. 1t
ought to be done by every school in
the state where there is opportunity
for such a thing. 1t will be wise
course to instruct the growing gener-
alton as to the importance of not
merely planting trees for ornament
but of reforestation and the preserv-
alton of the trees that now exist.

not be mere holiday; it should

Labor Scarce on the Farm.

The productiveness of the United
States along agricultural lines is not
keeping pace with the growth of
our population. Meats are dear
because meat-bearing animals are
falling behind the population in
relative numbers. Labor is scarce
on the farm, because the factory, for
est, the mine and the railroad are
taking away the farmers workers
through wages fixed at rates which
the farmer cannot afford to pay.
The population of the United
States is growing both by reason of
the natural increase of the families
domiciled in America and by accre-
tions through immigration from
abroad. But the immigrants do
not reach to the farm. The farmers
who do not come to us from for
eign countries do not find their way
to the farms of this country; and the
immigration laws prevent Ameri-
can farmers from going to foreign
countries and selecting there pros
pective immigrants whose services
could aid them,
AT no period of our history has
the American farmer needed help so
much as he needs it this year. There
are said to be hundreds of thous-
ands of idle men in the United States.
All of them could secure employ
ment on the farms-employment
atfording food, shelter and living
wages.
