GREAT SUCCESS
Pine Rivar Sunday School ASSOCid-
iiOn Have Meeting
SILAS MOODY IS PRESIDENT
The Success of the Association is In Large
Measure due to his Efforts

The semi-ahnual convention of the
association of the Sunday schools in
Pine River township held a short time
ago in the Parkinson Methodist Epis-
copal church was a success in every
sense of the word. The attendance was
excellent, the program was preemlnent
and the music was exceptionally deserv-
ing of praise, The spirit of the conven-
ton also was of the heartiest and most
enthusiastic kind, so that taken
altogether, the officers of the association
are well satisfied with the work done
While the attendance at the morning
session was very good, that of the even
ing meeting was especially gratifying.
To the officers of the association, and
especially its president, Silas Moody is
due the credit for the success of the
meeting. Mr.. Moody has worked long
and hard for the upbuilding AMI welfare
of the organization and that his efforts
are not fruitless and unappreciated is
substantially proved by the large at.
tendance and enthusiastic spirit of this
last convention. Mr. Moody, in turn is
appreciative of the support given him
in the work, which is always an en-
enlargement to keep on striving for an
even more and better success.

$50 west, young man, go west"
vociferated our friend, Schoolmaster
Greedy, many years ago That cry has
rung down through the ages and ever
and anon some ambitious worker hears
it echoes in his ears, and determines
that wise old Horace was right when he
said that to succeed, mighty good
plan was to go west
The longing for the west has finally
captured Deputy Sheriff Lou Convis.
During April, to be exact, April 10, Mr..
Convis set cut for Montana, where he
filed a claim on the 22nd for 100 ceres
of land in the north east quarter of
section 26 in Box Elder township of
Chouteau county, Montana. This
Choutean county, by the way, is the
largest county in the United States
geographically. Resides the 100 acres,
Mr.. Con>is bought two village lots on
the Great Northern railroad, twenty-five
miles from Havre. He was gone but
ten days stopping day or two i'll

land is that ii is away out IN the

AN EXPERT OPINION OF SKIN
DISEASES

A prominent national expert on skin
diseases whose name you ore familiar
with says that in all his scientific ex-
perience he has never found so hard a
disease to conquer as Eczema. Yet he
does not hesitate to recommend ZEMO
as a most successful remedy for the
treatment of Eczema, itching skin
Diseases dandruff pimples, blackheads
and all other diseases of the skin and
scalp. He says that not only do its
urative qualities make it popular but
also the fact that it is a clean, liquid
remedy for external use. A great i'm
provement over the old style greasy
salves and lotions which are not only
unpleasant to use but do not destroy
the germ life that causes the disease.
ZEMO draws the germs TO the surface
and destroys them. leaving the skin
clear and healthy. Can be used freely
on infants. Grover Bros, will gladly
supply those who call with free
sample bottle of ZEMO and a booklet
which explains in simple language all
about skin diseases and how 10 cure
yourself at home with ZEMO.

even. There are no buildings on the
place, not even a fence keeps it COM
pany. Mr.. Convis will take along a
car load OF farm utensils with which to
turn the tract into farm. At first he
expects to use tent, but will build a
house as soon as possible, when he will
be joined by his family Mr.. Convis il
no stranger to the west. 1t will be
remembered that sometime ago he went
into Oklahoma after prisoner, whom
he got all right enough, and while there
impressed upon the westerners that
for tenderfoot he was exceptionally
able to take care of himself.
Ben Button also has taken up land
III the west. He has quarter section
in the north west quarter of section %
He left here at the same time as Mr.
Oonvis but returned day or two
sooner.
Both gentleman believe that the
prospects in the west are bright, and
that farms run in businesslike way

for the investment. Mr. Convis is a
former business man of this city being

SILVER MEDAL CONTEST
Held In Baptist Church Last Friday
Evening, May g
KAHTHEENA AUSTIN WINS
Given Under the Auspices of the ". C. 7. U.
Of GratlOt County

Kahtaeena Austin won a very close
decision in the Silver Medal contest held
at the Baptist church Friday evening.
The final decision of the judges was
that Miss Austin had won by one-half
point, there being to her credit 40H
points and to Florence DePlauta, who
took second place, 40 points 1t is rare
that a decision is 50 close and Miss De-
Planta is to be congratulated for giving
Miss Austin such strong competition.
The affair was an oratorical contest,
with a silver medal as the chief prize
1t was held under the auspices of the
local Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. Although these contests are
conducted regularly III various parts of
the state, this is the first one ever given
in Alma, and the results of the initial
attempt are indeed gratifying.
Besides the winning speech excellent
orations were given by Ruth Durham,
Nellie Nelson. Ruth Porterfeld, Ruth
Dutt, Florence DePlanta, Bessie Oswald
and Helen Carey, of these Miss De-
Planta received, as has been stated
second honors. The subject of the
winning Grafton was, "The Story of a
Boy" and of Miss DePlanta's, "The
Political Parade. The judges were
Mrs. G. a. Grain of North Star, and
Misses Laura Kirby and Olive Smith,
of Alma.
After the judges decision was arrived
at. Mrs. Nudge of Ashley, presented
Miss Austin with the silver medal, and
the other contestants with neat medal
contest pins. Mrs MGdge also spoke of
the work of the Union, especially i'll
connection with the contest work. The
Union, founded by Francis Willard is
now one of the potent factors in the
temperance and local option movement.
The Union is thoroughly organized, its
branches extending into almost all parts
of the United States. 1t is composed of
mothers, wives and sisters who have the
welfare of their sons, husbands and
brothers at heart and who believe that
the Elimination of strong drink is one of
the chief factors in producing more
desirable manhood. Its emblem is the
white ribbon, the badge of purity.
Mrs. Nudge is the president of the
Gratiot county organization. The local
branch of the Union, by the way, have
changed their name. changing it from
the "Woman's Christian Temperance
Union" TO THE Francis Willard
Union " So hereafter they will be
known as the Francis Willard Union,
retaining, however, their connection
with the national organization. The
next meeting of the society will be held
at the home of Mrs. Gates, liz +.

 He was a little doubtful about the terms and more than doubtful about the cemetery.

 'But consider the cheerful view. sir,' ,'' ventured the mistress of the house.
 Cheerful vfew.' exclaimed that ap- plicant for lodgings. ''Is tbat what you call view that embraces grave yard?''
