A MINISTER'S ADVICE

Spokane Wash, May 15.-News paper men should be treated as allies instead of as spies and inn pertinent medders in things which do not concern them. We can take them into comradeship in the work we are doing, and by treating them as friends in- stead of enemies, secure their confidence, good will and cooper ation.'
 Rev. Dr. Charles Scaddling, bis hop of Oregon said this in the course of an addresss on '"The Secular Press as a Missionary Az ency,' at the biennial sessions of the Eighth Missionary depart ment of the Episcopal church in Spokane, when high churchmen from Washington, Montana, Ore gOn. Idaho, Wyoming, California Utah, Nevada, New York Penn sy,vania and several other states were in attendance.
 Bishop Scadding intimated that the average minister does not know news, when he mentioned that frequently an item of vital importance is concealed in a mass of matter otherwise of not the east interest to the reader. On this point he said:
 II you could hear the righteous indignation and the unrighteous abuse and*l fear, profanity, ere ated in newspaper offices of Friday nights when all hands are caAed to fix up the church not ices. for publication. there would be instant reform in this direc- tiom l am tod that week af- ter week and year after year there are poured into the news paper offices these care,essyi written notices. often in almost undeclpherabie chirography, with no regard for the sty.e of the paper for which they are writ ten, frequently written on odds and ends of paper and often on both sides and thrown together Tn a haphazard sort of way.
 The task of preparing several hundred notices has become the most detested work in the news paper offices, and every Friday night our civi.izing Influence on the working staff is in a large measure undOne. It is only due to the newspapers that we be courteous even in this small mat ter and take pains to secure uni- formity and cleanliness and the present wen-dressed and careful | ly prepared copy.

Little Rock, May IT. Little Rock has gone baseball mad and
 the entire state has become a..
 most as foolish over the Tray e,ers as have the citizens of Lit tie Rock. The great success of lthe Trave.ers this year has caused an interest in baseball to develop in Arkansas which has never be- fore manifested and the games which open today between the Little Rock and Nashville teams is the climax of the early clashes between the Eastern and West ern divisions of the Southern Lea que. Nashville has a half game lead over Little Rock and if the Travellers can take the majority of the games from the Volunteers will have safe oad in the race. The travellers this season have all ready demonstrated their class and there is every indication they wi.l continue to be near the top all season. The fans are giving Jack O'Connor the credit for the fine showing of the team as hie has forced inside baseball into the game and it is this which is winning for the Travellers So great is the interest over the state in the results of the games daily that no less than 17rtowns some of them in remote corners of the state, now telephone every evening to Little Rock to find out the result of the games. Man ager Finn has received many letters of congratul tion from peope over the state and he ex- poets many to come in for the Nashville series.

The short full skirt finished with deep hem, is gathered and at tached to the waist under the belt of dull-toned Persian embroidery, similar embroidery being used for the collar, wristbands and trimming of the waist. A pretty development for more dressy wear would be soft cream-colored al- batross, French flannel or challis, with insertions of baby Irish lace instead of the embroidery; or, if desired, the frock might be made up in fine lawn or batiste, either in white or colors and trimmed with insertions of either white or cream-colored English en- brOidery. The long sleeves are rather tight and the frock closes at the cen ter-back. The pattern is in four sizes one to seven years. For child of five years the dress requires 3M yards of material 27 inches wide, 2A yards 36 inches wide or 2b yards AZ inches wide, 2A yards of insertion.
