PRAY FOR RAIN IN X. c.
Catholics and Protestants Join in Pc
tition for Moisture.

Kansas City, June 12.-Prayers for
rain were read at the masses in most
of the Roman Catholic churches in
Kansas City and vicinity Sunday.
Prompted by the dry condition, many
Protestant ministers also included in
their general prayers a supplication
that the drouth be broken. The ri
tualistic appeal for moisture was used
in several Episcopal churches.
Following a drive through the rural
part of his parish, during which he
noticed the general dry condition of the
crops and the apparent need of rain,
the Rev. L. J. Beck of st. Johns Cath
Ole church, in Kansas City, KAN first
offered up the prayer a week ago. His
action was generally followed, although
several ministers said that conditions
vet did not warrant it.

Whereupon Mr.. Newcomb laughed

friend knew and went his way, sadder

Early Christmas Shopping.

II is all very well to talk about early
Christmas shopping, but nine out of
ten Of us have not the early Christmas
shopping wherewithal. What with shoes
for Johnnie, and coat for Susan, and
gentle reminders from the goldman and
other trusting ones, most of us come
bump up against the week before Christ
mas before we can spare cent for
Christmas doings. Then the question
is WHAT The stores are jammed, there
are heaps Of foolish notions to catch the
belated shopper.
And yet how easy it is to get Just the
right thing at modest cost, namely, a
years subscription to the Youth s Con- :
panion?
1t costs $1.75, and how can you in
vest $1.75 to better advantage if you
wish to make gift that will benefit as
we'll as crafty the friend or family to
whom you send it? And you can sub
scribe early, you get just SO much more
for the money-all the issues for the re-
naming weeks of 1911 free.
Then, too, your present will be as
fresh and pleasing year from now as
on Christmas morning, and OF how
many presents can that be said?
The one to whom you give the sub
scription will receive free The Com
panion's Calendar for 1912, autographed
in ten colors and gold, and you, too, as
giver of the subscription, will receive a
copy Of the Calendar.
Only $1.75 now for the SO weekly is
sues, but on January /, 1912, the sub
scription price will be advanced toS2. 90.
