waterways is hardly necessary.

Aropriation therefor. The various wa

particular projects and securing from

money for their construction.
In other words. the organizations

agitation In favor of a definite system

and importance of that system, and
seeking national funds for those needs.

turns the first year. last year we got
full results. SO great were the crowds
people could hardly care for them,
and as a direct result from this In

most interesting. that is the yong
men declared it most interesting
service held here today, the Rev Nj
Morrill, used a very novel method of
demonstrating to his congregation
the vulgarities of the present Gav
dancing. He engaged several chor-
rs girls from a musical show at one
Ct !he local theatres and had them
demonstrate to the audience the lat
est society dances. namely The
turkey trot, the crab crawl. tortoise
TANGO jelly wabble. angleWcrm Wig
gle and the grizzly bear All Of
these dances he had enacted in the
pulpit and gave a mCSt scathn2
sermCn after each exhibition.
The opinions are many and var
led as to how much good this meth
Cd of showing the evils of the ia
yOrite pastime will do as some of
the young men of the congregation
have sent the preacher a request to
repeat the performance.
