1t is more than likely that the
strength of this powerful arm of ST.
Johns church is due to the fact that
each one of its seventy-nine mem
bers is making an attempt to put in
to practice the precept enunciated by
that foremost apostle of the strenu-
GUS life, Theodore Roosevelt, which
adorns an inside page of the neat
banquet program, and which runs
like this:
1T is most important that each
man should do a little, more than
pull his own weight in the world.

j. J. Koehler, who was recently re-
elected County Superintendent by an

to being granted a salary increase of
