These good women had labored most
earnestly throughout the year 1911, and

sive improvements and additions to the
manse, and were able to round out the
year with all obligations met, and SOME
money in the treasury
And now as they enter upon another
years work, they decided to have
social meeting and banquet, 50 as TO
cultivate each Others acquaintance, and
thus become better prepared for the
new duties.
A very large number Of the ladies
gathered in the home above mentioned,
and at the hour of twelve, the president,
| Mrs. j. a. Preito. passed silver platter
upon which lay beautiful hand painted
cards in floral designs, each bearing a
number. There were corresponding
numbers at each plate, and the guests
we're invited to find their plates. After
some unique experiences all we're located

the pastor. 1t was then the order for
some Toast to the Women" Madams
Edwards, Ruffin, Littleton, Preito,
Latimer and Rey, J. II. Zwingle gave
a toast on Woman's Natural Sphere.
He said in part; God acted wisely
when he took bone from mans side
out Of which to make woman. For
woman made out OF dirt as man was
would have been rough and ugly, and
besides. who wanted woman made
out Of dirtY II God had taken a bone
from mans limb, out Of which he
made woman, man would have been
/
incapable OF making that support for
her that she is expecting at bis hands.
l IF He had taken q bone from his arm
and made her man would have been
unable to caress her, as she 50 much
longed to be, by the one that is SO dear
to her heart. II he had taken . bone
from the head, long long ago, she
would have claimed to have had All the
brains Of the concern. But his wisdom
was shown ia that be took one from the
side Of man--half way between the
heart and the pocket book, and thus
we see her in her natural sphere, as she
holds one hand on the pocket book and
the other on the heart she is at home,
and the mistress Of the situation. I"
| The heavy laden table was thing of
beauty, and Joy to the guests for hours
to come, decorated with cut flowers,
and many dainty dishes Of the rarest
yiands lay gracefully spread before the
eye. II was not q mereforma ty either,
for every one seemed to have brought
along good appetite for the occasion.
Aftsr the dinner was over, the evening
was spent in a pleasant social way az it
ought always be done by Christian peo-

together more and all went homo feel
ing that the day was profitably spent,
and glad they had part in such a
splendid organization.
The hostess, the president and their
helpers we're equal to the occasion and

party with their usual good cheer.
May blessings attend them as they

flce: otherwise observe the following
directions:
Take on the tires, clean outside care

foreign material. Do not allow water
to gee inside the casing. IL any OF the
cuts peneuates TO the fabric have the
tire inspected by competent repair
man and repaired or retreated. as
deemed advisable. Wrap each casing
and tube in paper or cloth to keep
away light and air and store tires In a
cool. dark place. Clean all rust or the
inside of rims and polish with graphite
or stove polish to prevent further rust.

A correspondent writes that he was
recently poisoned by installing poison

show you TINT it does not really climb.
1t generally makes Il bushy growth,

If enc studies the structure Of the
peculiarities of the two plants 1t will be
impossible to mistake one for the other.

MARSHALL FIELDS
WEEKLY OF DRY GOODS
Clearance Sales Recently
Disclose Retailers Desire
for Merchandise.

Marshall Field & Co, in their weekly
review of the dry goods trade. say:
The clearance sale during the week
disclosed a keen desire for merchandise
on the part of retailers. More buyers
were in the market during the first two
days of the week than have ever before
attended one Of our clearing sales.
The large demand for dry goods is
due in part to the fact that merchants
stocks are being kept at a low margin.
and it is also evidence that great deal
of money is being spent by consumers
as a result of the heavy crops in all
parts of the country.
Goods most sought for were those
suitable for holiday selling. but sales
have been heavy throughout most de-
partments of the house.
Orders indicate that buyers are es-
pecially interested in such lines as bed
comforters. bed spreads, sheets and
pillow cases. outings and blankets,
hosiery, womens novelty neckwear
handkerchiefs, mems and boys sweater
jackets, toys and jewelry.
