school every Sunday this year, and
get a silver star next Christmas9
Miss Louise Haight will lead the
| League next Sunday night. Topic,
(Lincoln Sunday THE Obligation
of Neighborliness" Gal. 5:14;
Luke 10:29-37.
Seventy-five scholars and twelve
teachers braved the storm of ice
and rain Sunday morning, and
there was good attendance at the
Junior League.
At the meeting Of the official
board Monday night, the action of
the committee on insurance, plac-
ing FIVE thousand dollars insurance
on the church for three years, was
endorsed, and warrant was order
ed for $55. 90 to pay for the same.
The parsonage folks are enjoying
visit from Lloyd Y. Spragg, edi-
tor of the Journal at RidgeWay.
Mr.. Spragg is one Of the coming
young men. His talk to the high
school Wednesday morning was
helpful and inspiring to the stud
ent body.
The Sunday school board was
we'll represented at the meeting at
Broa Henry Lomax's Tuesday
evening Reports Of teachers were
heard, suggestions were made in
the interest of the work and after
social hour in which refreshments
were served the board adjoined, all
agreeing that Bro. and Sister
Lomax were genial entertainers.
The Mission Study clCb met at
the parsonage Tuesday night with
nine members present. The club
have taken up the emigration
question by Howard B. Grose, in
his book Of eight lessons, entitled,
Aliens or Americans. The club
will welcome new members at any
time. The next meeting will be
with Miss Ora Walker at the home
of Miss Sarah Moss.
1t may be possible that you don't
belong to the church, but in spite
of yourself the church belongs to
you. It is public institution
and belongs to the public as sure
ly as does the town pump. Both
stand for the "whosoever will. "
The church stands pledged for the
moral uplift Of every man, woman
and child in the community. 1t is
ready to open its doors and sing its
choicest hymns and say the kindest
things over your remains. Three
times a week and on other occasions
it invites you to come without
money and without price and en-
joy the good things it offers to all.
The church has it's claim on the |
community, and has right to ex-
pect the moral and financial sup
port of those for whose moral
uplift it stands pledged. The
churches in Laclede represent far
more in the increased valuation of
real estate under the sound of their
bells than they do in their individ-
ual valuation. Come in, brother,
and help US and we'll help you.

TOBACCO PLAN IS APPROVED / {
Federal Court Gives It's o. K. to Dis
solution of American Company
With Certain Notifications.

New York.-The United States cir
cult court handed down a decision
here approving the plan Of dissolution
OF. the American Tobacco company
with notifications.
The court In its decision says that
provision should be made in carry
ing out the plan for keeping intact
the books and records Of the American
Tobacco company, and its present
constituents and branches SO that
they shall be available and subject
to explanation to the same extent as
at present. in suits for accounting and
other existing litigation. &. y,
The outcome Of the circuit courts
approval will be that the Supreme
court at Washington will have to re-.
view the entire work OF the circuit
court before 1t can be definitely known
what final shape the governments
strenuous effort to bust the trust
viii take.
That the independents will plead
earnestly for q review OF the approved
plan by the Supreme court was made
plain when their counsel learned Of
the decision. ~.
In view Of the fact that the court
rejected two or three of. the more
radical notifications prescribed by
Attorney General Wickersham as q
condition precedent to the approval
OF the plan by the department OF JUS
ttce, 1t Is generally believed that he
will take the initiative in the appeal
to the Supreme court. 4 q h

Hankow, China.-The city OF Han
kow has been destroyed by fire over
two-thirds of its extent. The lowest

Four hundred thousand people are

them are the bodies of women and
children. 81 .5S &
The customs house, the postoffice and
the American missions have been

pillage. Imperialist officers tried to
check this work, and executed num-
Der of soldiers. Refugees were de-
.prived of their loot on entering the
British concession. cart loads of valu-
able furs. silks and jewelry being
seized. It Is suggested that the Red
Cross receive the proceeds.
The consuls appealed to the imperi-
alists to cease burning the town. "A
proclamation, which, was issued i'm
mediately, declared that the rebels
were responsible for the fires and or
.dered that these be checked. The fol-
lowing day new fires started in vari.

them to death, prodded them with
bayonets or crushed them to death
