Farmers Discuss Paper.

Two farmers were not long since
discussing their local paper. One
thought it had too many advertise
ments in it. The other replied: I'm
my opinion the advertisements are
far from being the least valuable
part of it. | look them over care
fully and save at least five times the
cost of the paper each week through
the business advantages / get from
them" Said the other: Il believe
you are right know that they
pay me we'll and rather think it is
the advertisements after ALL"
Those men have the right idea of
the matter. 1t pays any man with
a family to take a good local paper
for the sake of the advertisements
if nothing more. And if business
men fail to give farmers a chance
to read advertisements in the local
paper, they are blind to their own
interests, to say the least of it.
You never trade with me-" said
business man to a prosperous farm
err. You have never invited me to
your place of business and | never
go where | am not invited; I might
not be welcome" was the reply.

Giving Infant Medicine.

When baby is sick and cross, 1t
often becomes serious and dreaded
task to give the medicine. 1t is sur
prising how expert even a tiny baby
can become in squirming, twisting
and kicking so that the medicine gets
in every place but in the proper
place. The best way to administer
medicine in the powdered form Is to
give it dry. Place the powder on the
tip of the spoon and then open the
baby's mouth and drop the medicine
as far back on the tongue as is pos
sible. Then give him drink of milk
or water in the bottle.

Wholly Problem aticai.

In speaking of the change in the
plans of the Ministerial union today
one of the leading preachers of the city
said:
Mr.. Sunday never set any date upon
which he agreed to come here, and
whether he would come in January was
wholly problematical as he was en-
gagged for a considerable time ahead
when our secretary was in communica-
ton with him. Since Rev. Reid left the
city no communication has passed be-
tween Mr.. Sunday and members of
our organization, and ministers of the
city have deemed it inadvisable to re-
new negotiations"
Many Walla Wallans will distinctly
remember the furore created in the
Falls City last winter by the evangel-
ist who was instrumental in making
hundreds of conversions, and incident
ally in raising large sum of money
through collections. The poor work
ingmen of that city were nightly given
shelter in the tabernacle, and Sunday
did a big work in alleviating suffering
of homeless wanderers during the Sc
we're weather of last winter. Thousands
heard him speak, and at no meeting
was the tabernacle large enough to ac-
commodate those who desired to hear
the burning words hurled in defiance
of sin and Wickedness.
Several of the ministers who were
then in charge of NNalla Walla church
es made trips to Spokane to hear Mr..
Sunday, with the result that negotia-
tions were started to have him hold a
series of meetings in this city in Jan
uary After Sunday left Spokane he
was communicated with by Rev. j. c.
Reid, secretary of the Ministerial union,
with the result that a partial promise
was given. Since Rev Reid left, how
ever, the effort has apparently been
abandoned. as members of the organ
ization were today authority for the
statement that Sunday will not speak
i'm Walla Walla in 1910.

guished orator had never given any
certain promise to the Ministerial union
that he would come to Walla Walla on
certain date. At that time Sunday
was engaged so far ahead for meetings
in eastern cities that he could not give
an affirmative answer to Garden City
ministers, although he indicated will
ingness to come here early in 1910 if
satisfactory arrangements could be
made.
Basing their hopes upon the indef-
mite promise thus given, the members
of the union had formulated portion
of the program that was to be carried
out. even going so far as to make an
investigation as to the site upon which
the tabernacle might be erected. All
Protestant organizations of the city
had planned to unite in the meetings
and the expenses Of securing BILLY

the churches, including the collections
that might have been received.
