The Presbyterian ladies held a
bazaar Saturday afternoon and
night in our town hall, in which
supper and many nice things
were served to tempt the appe-
tite, besides selling some useful
garments for ladies' wear. Ru-
NOR says the venture was rea-
sonably successful, and why
should it not be? The ladies are
a power to achieve success.
The revival in operation in the
M. E. church for more than two
weeks, with the help of an evan
gelist, closed last night with an
audience filling the church COM
fortably. Rev. Westhafer filled
the pulpit and delivered an earn
est sermon to both saint and sin
ner. Following the close of the
meeting Rev. Westhafer took
the train here for Tuscarawas
county. The church has been
somewhat revived and bread has
been cast upon the waters which
it is hoped will appear many days
hence. 1t is believed some good
seed has been sowed that will RI
pen in fruit somehow and some
where in the future. Rev. DIR.
Becker of Dayton, who filled the
pulpit of our Presbyterian church
yesterday morning, omitted SER
vices in that church and he and
many of his congregation attend
ed divine services with the M. E.
people, thus helping to augment
the interest in the revival ser.
! vice.

HOPEFUL OF RECIPROCITY
Tariff Board to Take Up Schedules
Affecting Canada Trade.

Washington, Oct. Sl--The possibilities for
reciprocity with Canada have reached
point where the tariff board is about 10
take up some of the schedules of the pres
cnt law which would be affected.
The chemical schedule, upon which
start was made several weeks ago, will be
allowed TO wait, tentatively at least, and
it is said TO be not unlikely that an in
vestigation of the lum Der schedule, which
would be one of the principal factors in
reciprocity arrangement, will take its
place.
Experts who have been working on the
pulp wood and paper schedule, in which
the Canadian arrangements also would be
concerned. are making progress beyond the
expectations of the board. Several Of the
largest paper companies have volunteered
to furnish important informatio which at
one time it was doubtful If the board could
