Leader IN Movement For Peace.

Miss Lucia Ames Mead of Boston is
one of the worlds leading peace adj
vocates. She says war, SO far from pro-
ducing survival OF the fit, produces a
survival of the unfit She grants
that some wars have removed ty-
rants and injustice, have freed slaves
and advanced civilization, but had the
race been less immature these results
could have been achieved by other
methods, she says, especially by eco

and during the Intervening ages pass
ed through the various processes until
it became solid rock. Some of these
remains, even those of the oldest anil
mails, have been discovered quite close
to the surface. This is because the
crust of the earth is like paper
wrapping, folding and crumbling un-
der the pressure of the gases and fire
of the interior, with the result that
here and there the crust has been
turned upside down, so that the lower
strata of rock are on top. And it is
the particular stratum of rock that
reveals the approximate age of the
animal. Biologists on examination
can tell the age of the rock, which
gives them the date at which the ami
nal dourished.

Saturday, June 10th, Mrs. Frank
Tolbert Of Enterprise was given q
surprise birthday dinner. Friends
from Acme, Abilene and Enterprise
planned to give Carrie the sur
prise of her life in honor Of her
40th birthday.
Mrs. Tolbert was deep in Satur-
days work preparing for a Sunday
dinner for relatives when the first

yard. Judging from her looks the
surprise was complete. On account,
Of the harvesting in ToGbert's old
neighborhood and the heat, not many
attended from Acme, but those who
did say they would not have missed
the occasion for anything. After par
taking Of the bounteous dinner the
young people went fishing and the
older ones spent a delightful after
noon visiting. Mrs. Tolbert was the
recipient Of a number Of lovely
presents and her post card shower
was large, most Of them arriving in
the Saturday mornings mail After
the crowd came Mr., Tolbert fully
understood one friends card which
said, IF / can't be with you in body
I am in spirit" Mrs. Charlie Ander-
son treated the crowd to ice cream
in mid afternoon which was enjoyed
as much as the dinner because Of
the fine quality and the hot after
noon. Most of the guests departed
at late hour, but few from
distance remained over night and
attended the band concert Saturday
night.
All wished Mrs. Tolbert many
happy returns of the delightful day
and hoped to soon again enjoy the
hospitality Of Mr.. and Mrs. Tolbert.
The guests all agreed to meet again
at the old settlers picnic this fall
II not before.-An Old Friend.
