running $50 worth of advertising
and sending $25 to an Atlantic

to a lot. When the tide is in the

A Kansas real estate firm will
give US a deed to a lot 22x6O feet

S. cash. We wrote to a fellow
who knew of the lots offered and
he replied that they had no cash

If we can run a column write
up of doings to be held in North
Dakota this fall, amounting to

subscription rate is only 81. but
all we have to do is run S3e

slble in this era. To find even a
few who will follow in the foot
steps of the master and declare
alt the council of God. Forms
and ceremonies under which thy
have been reared. They must
follow the traditions of their
fathers. No wonder the pastor
comes to his church and says,
we must have Sabbath school.
All right says som laymen.
Well We must have our church
literature. and Holiness folks are
running in the same rut. Did
Paul say this to his churches?
Sometimes in revival meetings
three or four preachers, one a
M. P, one a M. E, one a
Presbyterian. did Christ name
those denominations after the
meeting is over, they open the
doors, mot door of the churches,
all stand in a row and if you

church, come forward. Wonder
if Peter, Paul and John stood in
a row pleading for candidates
for their churches. No wonder
we are drifting. Again wonder
if Paul, John and Peter had
their churches insured and fixed
up with electric fans to null the
members while the preacher is
soaring up in the skies and his
audience in front of him with
hats on resembling wash pots and
diamo ds on, while the choir be-

The darling daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. G. Robertson Of Meeker, died
on the twenty-fourth day Of June,
1911, aged ten days. The little one
had not been we'll from its birth, but
all that medical aid, and all that
kind, and loving parents, could do,
could not save the little darling, and
It's little spirit took its flight from
this earth to heaven; where 1t found
deeper, sweeter sleep in the arms Of
Jesus, who stands ready to receive
all the pure ones, all the bright ones
and his own.
The funeral services were held
at the residence by the Rev. Bacon,
after which the dear little form was
carried from its home by loved ones
tn its narrow silent little home.
could but picture in my mind the
happy reception of this little saint as
1t was surrounded at the golden gate
by all the spirits Of the dear babes
who have left this earth for their
Fathers house; and, oh, how joyful
ly they conducted it to the throne of
God, rejoicing that there was one
more bright and shining light in the
Kingdom, there to dwell forever and
forever.
To the bereaved parents l would
say, grieve not for your darling, but
rather think of 1t as q sweet little
flower plucked from this world be-
fore sin has withered its brightness,
and placed In the garden Of Eden,
there to await the coming of its par
ents, grandparents and all to whom
1t was SO dear.
Look up, dear parents, unto Jesus,
who alone can give you comfort, and
who will pour the balm Of peace in
upon your heart, If you ask it Of Him;
and may you ever keep the memory
of this dear sacred in your minds,
that 1t may be as a bright and shin
ing light to guide you to the throne
Of God; and may you spend the re-
mainder Of your days In preparing
your souls and that of your dear
children, that are left you, to meet
dear little sisters and brother on that
Golden Shore.

SHINING PARLORS
In Iowa Are to Be Investigated and
Proprietors Forced to Observe
Child Labor Law.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Nov. S.-An in
yestigation of the Greek shoe shining
parlors in Iowa will be started at
once and proprietors of the shops
forced to observe the child labor law,
according to an announcement made
by E. w. Van Duyn, state labor COM
missioner.
That many Greek hoys employed in
the shining parlors of different towns
in Iowa are the victims of the pa
drone system and are forced to work
long hours for very little money, is
the statement of Mr.. Van Duyn. No
boy under the age of sixteen will be
permitted to work in any shop be-
fore 6 O'Clock in the morning or later
than 8 o'clock in the evening, he
says.
The action is the result of an in.
vestigation carried on at Sioux City
last week by State Factory Inspector
Ribble, who reported that conditions
in some of the parlors in that city
were next to slavery.
