UNION HOSTESS
TO CLUB WOMEN
w. C. I. u. Entertains at Meth
odist Church. Literature
and Art Considered.
RS. COLLINS TELLS OF WORK
Mrs. Clague and Mrs. Hall
Read Papers. Ice Cream
Served by Little Boys.

"You are working along the same
lines as the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union" Mrs. E. B. Collins
told the members of the Woman's
club and the Half Century club at
the Methodist church Wednesday
afternoon. I'VE are all working for
purity in literature and art, trying
to create better environment for
the boys and girls of our community
making 1t harder for them to do
wrong, easier to do right, teaching
people to think right. therefore to
act right"
Mrs. Collins was speaking for the
w. C. T. u, of which she is presi-
dent, and which was entertaining
the clubs. Continuing she said:
I THIRTY YEARS OF EFFORT.
For thirty years and more our
local union has been striving to Gre
ate a stronger sentiment against the
many evils which surround US.
Many times we have had to fight
single handed and alone. We have
occasion to greatly rejoice at the
present time because of the splendid
co-operation of the public spirited
business men of our community, of
the pastors and of the many women,
not members of our union, who man.
afest their interest in many ways.
LIQUOR MEN USE LIBRARIES.
We have learned that the liquor
men are flooding our libraries with
harmful literature trying to teach
the youth Of our land that liquor
taken in moderation is beneficial and
we find that literature designed to
corrupt the young and lead them
astray is being sold at newstands
and so we are keeping a watchful
eye.on all literature"
MRS. CLAGUE READS PAPER.
Mrs. Frank Clague gave her paper
on Modern Tendencies in Litera-
ture," which was read before the
state federation of Woman Clubs
last February. Mrs. B. G. Hall
spoke of "The Bible as Literature.
In all literature" she said,
there lis nothing that can in any
way compare with the account of
CT cation as given in the first chap
ter of Genesis" Mrs. Hall then
quoted the verses descriptive of the
creation and went on to give Addi-
sons poem ON 1.-The Spacious Firma-
ment." Continuing she said: Thus
we see the Bible itself is not only
the greatest literary work but has
also been the inspiration of the
greatest of literary efforts -
LINCOLN STUDIED BIBLE.
Referring to those who have been
aided by study Of the Bible she
mentioned Lincoln. saying: Lincoln
in his boyhood had few books but
prominent among them was the
Bible and the Gettysburg speech,
that gem Of oratory, could only have
been produced by one who was fam
iliar with it's pages.

CADILLAC SETS ANOTHER
DISTANCE RECORD IN WEST.
Covers 326 Miles, Spokane to WalIa
WalIa and Return, at Average
Speed of 27.6 Miles.

Climbing mountain grades and
blowing through deep sand, a
Cadillac touring car has estab-
lished a record for the distance
between Spokane and Walla
Walla, Wash, that seems likely
TO stand for some time. The dis
lance is 326 miles, and the car
averaged ZIG miles an hour for
the entire run, at times attaining
a speed of SIS to 60 miles an hour.
The total running time was elev-
en- hours, 48 minutes.
People in the towns through
which the car passed had been
told of the race against time and
in almost every town on the route
assembled in crowds to see the
car and crew go through. At
Walla Walla the car was met by
a large escort of automobiles.
The start was made from Spo-
kane at 4::30 o'clock in the morn
ing and covered the 1913 miles to
Walla Walla in 5 hours, SIS min
utes running time, while on the
return two minutes were clipped
from that time.
1t was only recently that a
Cadillac made a record round trip
between Los Angeles and San
Francisco, its elapsed time being
80 hours, s minutes for the 974
miles. This was followed almost
Immediately by the run of anoth-
er Cadillac, which lowered the
former time by six hours and a
half-a record which stands for
974 miles of the toughest and
most difficult going on the Pacific
coast.
Several weeks ago "a Cadillac
car performed the first practical
service ever rendered by an au-
tomobile in actual warfare by
conveying wounded from the
field of the inst battle of Aqua
Prieta, the Mexican town Just
across the border from Douglas,
Ariz.
When the battle of April 13 &C.
CURED at the same town, several
residents of Douglas were killed
by bullets which crossed the in
ternational boundary, and Presi-
dent Taft desired to send a mes
sage to the Mexican federal and
rebel troops, warning them not
to fire again into United States
territory. No United States ar
my officer was permitted tocross
the line to carry the message and
a Cadillac Car was engaged.
Flying an American flag and
manned by three civilians, the
Cadillac proceeded into the m
surrecto lines. The men stated
their mission and were permitted
to proceed eight miles south,
where the message was delivered
to Gen. Reynaldo Diaz, in com
mand of the federal troops.
Cadillacs were also used to
bring the dead and wounded
from the field after the two bat
ties at Aqua Prieta early in April.
