submit the following rules which
shall govern it:

to have act as judges.
2. That we will have a compe-
tent lady to look after the bread
and as each loaf is entered sealed
number will be placed on each loaf;
also a sealed copy given the party
entering same.
3. That our lady looking after
the bread will keep copy of the

ty not to be opened until the judges
have made their decision and the
seal broken and the lady holding

awarded the prize.
4. That all bread must be en-
tered by $3.50 p. m. and the judges
will then make their decisions and
the prizes will be awarded at 4 p.

want to go home early.
S. That we absolutely turn the
contest over to the judges whom
you select, and as we have tried to
make this fair in every respect, we
shall feel that we are in no way to
blame if they do not decide exactly
to your liking.

NJ. E. Church Notes

lowed by a meeting Of the Sabbath
school board.
A number Of the old-time friends
were invited to the home of Mr..
and Mrs. T. M. Elliott on Friday
evening of last week in honor of
the visitation of Bro. and Sister
Wilkins.
Mrs. Mabel Neal Wilkins trans
fers her church membership to
Walnut, Kansas. Judging from
the emigration from Laclede, Wal
nut ought to be a's.desirable place
to live in.
The Woman's Foreign Mission
ary society will meet with Mrs.
Neal Welsh next Wednesday after
noon at the usual hour. Mrs.
Welsh, the president, especially
desires that the ladies not only
come themselves, but that each one
shall bring a friend with her.
Judging from the past, the society
will be splendidly entertained, as
Mrs. Welsh certainly knows how to
do it.
The Martha Washington social
given at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. w. Lomax by the Ladies' Aid
society was a decided success from
every point of view. The musical
and literary part of the program
was nicely rendered and no good
thing" was lacking in the prepara-
tion of the luncheon which, together
with the Attic SALT" helped to
make the occasion one to linger in
the memory of those present.
The effort of the ladies of the
town to provide entertainment for
the people with musical and lee
ture course did not receive the
patronage it deserved. The closing
number was given last Saturday
night to full house. If they
could have had that kind of an
audience at other times, there
would have been no need to draw
on their treasury to make good the
deficit. Mr.. Lucey, the entertain
er, gave a choice selection at the
close of the service Sunday morn
ing.
1t is time we were preparing our
Easter program. This is the time
we will make our offering for mis-
sions. That will include all the
benevolent appointments of the
church for the year except the
superannuates' claim and local
education. Less than one-half Of
the membership was represented in
the benevolent collections last year.
That is why it becomes a burden.
Our church polity supposes that
every member will give for the var
ious benevolent purposes of the
church as they are prospered."
Surely we can give generously this
year.
One hundred and thirty-three
present with $5.83 collection was a
good record for a stormy Sabbath
morning. Bro. Wilkins ta71c~.,lt his
old class and made the school a
nice talk at at the close. Good in
terest was manifested in all the
services of the day. The school
greatly enjoyed the White Ribbon
duet rendered by Mrs. Irene Welsh
and Miss Jardine. The select
reading by Mrs. Welsh was well
rendered and furnished material
for those interested in the temper
ance question to think about. Nine
teachers and five officers have been
present every Sabbath during the

the 80 acre farm known as the Dick

Laclede from Nose Williams of
