Temperance Rally by Sunday
Schools.

On Sunday evening last Lincoln
Legion Service was observed at the
Pentecostal Union Sunday school,
of which Mr.. j. T. McManus is the
efficient superintendent and Mr.. L.
E. Jackson the Bible class teacher.
A dozen or more strong and force
full pieces were read and recited on
prohibition. A collection was TAX
en- which amounted to $S.4l which
will be sent to aid in building and
equipping the Marion Lawrence
printing press at Westerville, Ohio.
This plant will have the capacity of
turning out more than one hundred
tons of temperance and prohibition
literature, which will be sent to all
parts of the world.
At the Sunday service twenty
five of the members of this school
signed the Lincoln pledge, whi.h he
wrote and signed in his youth, and
strictly observed all his life, which
is as follows:
Whereas, the use of intoxicating
liquors as beverage is productive
of pauperism, degradation and
crime, and believing it is our duty
to discourage that which produces
more evil than good, we therefore
pledge ourselves to abstain from the
use of intoxicating liquors az a
beverage"
At the service the following let
ter was read:
December 29, 1910.
Ny dear Young Friends:
The excessive use of intoxicating
liquor is the cause of a great deal
of the poverty, degradation, and
crime of the world, and one who
abstains from the use of such liquor
avoids dangerous temptation
Abraham Lincoln showed that he
believed this in writing out for his
boy friends the pledge of total alb.
stinence so often quoted. Each per.
son must determine for himself the
course he will take in reference to
his tastes and appetites; but those
who exercise the self-restraint to
Iavoid altogether the temptation of
alcoholic liquor are on the safe and
wiser side. Sincerely yours,
VIM. H. Taft.

Corn Planting Begins.

Corn planting will begin this
week in the county but it is safe to
say that not a very large acreage
will be planted, before the 18th.
Mr.. Giles ID. Minis who is one Of
the most successful far mers in the
county told the writer last Satur-
day that he expects to begin plant
ing this week. In his opinion the
corn will not be seriously injured
should the top be killed by frost
the latter part of this month or ear
ly in April.

PENN s. HOLSTEIN, Local Dealers

This part of the country is some
thing like a foot short on water, i.
e., foot below the normal rainfall.
Judging the future by the past,
this shortage will doubtless be made
good by the middle of May. Bet
ter lay plans for a wet spring be
ready for any emergency. Far

breaking large portion of their
land deep in December and Janua-
ry, SO come what may, within rea-
sonable bounds, most of them will
be well prepared for planting.

 Arizona Gazette: One of the striking features of progress in telephoning is manifested aboard the San Diego boosters special train which arrived in this city this morning. Under the direction of James +. Franklin, district com mercial manager of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph company of San Diego, the entire train of nine cars was connected with in- tercommunicating telephone. The exchange was located in the buffet car, and communication was easily obtained from one car to another while the train was in motion. In each of the cars is located two telephones, one for the use of the ladies of the party and the other for the men. Within two minutes after the train rolled into this city, communication had been establish ed through the lines of the Arizona Telephone X Telegraph company, so that not only was inter-car service continued, but those aboard the train were afforded an op- portunity of calling up any mum Der in this city or any of the long distance points reached by the Ari- zona or Pacific companies. When the train arrived in Prescott last evening connection was immedi- ately made with the outside world and messages were soon being sent to this city, while others of the party were placed in direct con- nection with San Diego. The news of the arrival of the train in Phoe- nix was sent to the various papers in the southwest by means of this telephone service. The same con- ditions prevailed immediately upon the arrival of the train in this city A complete train directory was in the hands of the travellers and local telephone directories were also placed aboard the train, as were also Los Angeles and Sar Diego lists. The service was quite at good as that secured in talking from the local offices or long dis lance booth.

 Bisbee Review: All is not gold that glitters. Things are not what they seem. These and number of other old saws were given added prestige by decision in the justice court of Judge T. D. Burdick yes terday morning when D. D. Doyle was arraigned in that court for giving fake gold nuggets as secur- ity for a small loan. The nuggets gittered but an annalysis by an assayer proved they were not gold. They seemed to the money lender to be gold but they were not. After hearing the evidence in the case, Judge Burdick found the de- fendant guilty of passing fake mug gets and gave him a sentence of a fine of $90 or ninety days in jail. The fine had not been paid last night. The complaining witness was George V. Gaiuwain. He said that Doyle offered the fake nuggets to him Sunday night as a security for small loan. The mug gets had gold like glitter but they seemed to be lighter than gold. He showed them to Officer C. N. Thomas and together they took the nuggets to an assayer, where examination showed them to be merely gold washed alloy. Doyle told an officer that he was drink ing at the time and that Gaiuwain should have had better sense than 10 accept them. The officers state that they know who made the false nuggets and say that more of them are in circulation The mere making of them it is said is not a crime unless they are made with intent to defraud.

ATTORNEY HAGE WINS IMPORT
ANT DAMAGE SUIT

Attorney Rasmus Hage of this city,
returned Monday from St. Paul
where he spent last week trying the
case of Lewis G.. Johnson VS.. Fore
stall & Feyen. In June 1910, the plain
tiff, Lewis G. Johnson, was employed
on the dredge of Forrestal & Feyen,
ditch contractors, in the eastern part
of the county. BY the explosion of
a pipe on the boiler, Mr.. Johnson
was severely burned and scalded ov-
er nearly his whole body. and when
he got we'll enough he started suit
in the District Court of Ramsey coun-
ty to recover for the personal injur-
les he had sustained. The ditch
contractors had skillful attorneys to
fight the case and it is therefore con-
siderable satisfaction to Mr.. Hage
that he won out, the jury returning
a verdict in favor Of his client, Mr..
Johnson, for $1,000.

THE COMING OF THE CHlLD.KING
.(By John Clair Minot)


Oh, tell me-when the shepherds
watched their focks that Won
drous night.
And heard the hosts of angels sing in
skies that glowed with light,
Were any little children there, in an
Gent Bethlehem,
To see the wonder of it all, or have it
told to them?
My son, through all the changing
course of years that used to be,
Have children questioned as they
played beside their mothers
knee;
And on that night feel they heard
the angel host on high,
And saw the star Of Bethlehem with
glory fill the sky"
And, mother. were the children then
as happy as today?
And did the mothers laugh with them
when they were at their play?
And when they saw the blazing star
and heard the angels sing,
What was the meaning of it ALL what
message did it bring?
My son, the sad world needed then,
to make it sweeter far,
The song the host of angels sang, the
beaming Of the star.
This was the meaning OF it all, this
message did it bring:
That all the world was glorified be
cause Child was King.

A merry Christmas to all students,
teachers and friends of North Star
College.
Examinations have been on the
schedule for the last few days. For
those who have been along from the
beginning this does not mean much
but for those who have come only re-
Gently, examinations are usually con-
sidered a bug-bear.
The work for the fall term ends on
Thursday of this week. The spring
term begins January the third.
The music recital held on Wednes-
day was a success in all respects. All
who took part did well. The num-
bers by the kindergarten class were
quite novelty. All the piano mum
bers We're appreciated. The Glee
club, too, did splendidly even tho it
has not practiced for more than sew
eral weeks. The attendance at the
recital was very good. The college
hall was filed. Our good people of
Warren encourage the efforts we are
trying to make by showing their ap-
probation in many ways.
Inquiries for room and board at
private places continue to come in to
the College Office Those who can
accommodate students, will confer a
favor by making it known to Prof
Abrahamson. There are also inquir-
les about places where room and
board, or either, can be obtained for
work. If there are families that
want good help, either a boy or girl,
kindly advise. It will be greatly APP
preciated.
