CHURCH STEWARDS
DON'T USE TOBACCO
ONLY THREE OF THE TWENTY
THREE OF FIRST CHURCH
HERE TOUCH WEED.

Probably the best first quarterly
conference ever held at teh First
Methodist church was that of Mon.
day night. Every dollar of assess.
ments for every purpose due during
the first quarter were reported naid
in full. Not only that but the entire
foreign missionary assessment of the
church amounting to about S275 for
the conference year ending next Oc-
toDer, was paid in full. This is the
flrst time that such financial REPORTS
nave ever been made at this season
And this notwithstanding the fact
that the congregation recently sub.
scrlbed an additional $3.50 for the sup
port OF missionary by this church
in the foreign fields. 1t all proves
that the more church does for the
Lord the more it is able to do.
Some interesting and very com.
mendable facts with reference To the
Board of Stewards of the church were
brought to light during the meeting.
VI the twenty-three members Of the
board it developed that wenty of
them did not use tobacco in any fern.
Nineteen of the twenty-three mem
bers are regular attendants at Sun
day school. In commenting on this
TACT Rev r. ]. Craig, the presiding

John Trotwood Moore, of Nashville

laws governing the PROPERTY rights

| The first story in the new series is
called "A Tenant by the Curtesy." II

the widow to live the rest of her
life on one-third of the lands left by
her husband. "Curtesy" entities the
widoWer to live all the rest of his
lie on all, absolutely all, of the lands
left by his wife.
In Mr.. Moore's story the widower
marries again. He and his second
wife are in possession of his first
wlfe's lands. They quarrel with his
only daughter because she will not
marry the man they have picked out
for her. They continue to insist and
she continues to refuse. AT last thew
drive her away from her mothers
home, which is legally theirs. and
she takes to teaching In the local

Mr. Moore romantically allows her
to be rescued from this situation by

also certain shares of bank STOCK
which belonged to her mother and
which now give her control of the To-

Merry MiIkmaids."

] The Operetta Merry Milkmaids' given by the Methodist Sunday School last Friday evening gave to those pro- sent a rare treat.
 Green Forest can justly be proud of it's home talent. The Operetta was given in four parts. the pretty choruses and the beautiful solos throughout the play kept up an interest that showed the audience appreciated the marked ability displayed. As to the chorus work it showed 8 training of marked character. Green Forest may well feel proud of the ability of the director Mrs. A. L. Kinney, her untiring efforts and kindly manners won many well meritcd words Of praise
 Mrs. J.-L. Reynolds came in for her share of appreciation for so nicely staging the play
 A prettier sight seldom meets ones gaze as that of the "Merry Milkmaids" as the curtain went up showing them so becomingly attired in snowy white dresses. Catchy dairy aprons and bon- nets, together with their happy mood was pleasing sight indeed.
 Mrs. Irene Morrow as Queen" with dress of dainty blue, trimmings of lace and roses, wearing garden hat of pretty pattern, won the hearts of all. Her sweet voice was never better; her charming manner will always be the same.
 Miss Laterner or "Dorthy,9 Miss Laura Villines as Maud" Miss Georgia Backus as Ruth" Mrs. Harden as Monica, 7" Miss Edna Wal ker as "Junita,'' Mrs. Howard as Janet" Miss Matte Stacy as Anita" Miss Mary Stacy as Clara, " Miss Bertha Smith as Fay" Miss Viola Shipman as Blanche" added grace and beauty to the play. Not one of the "Milkmaids" could have been spared all doing equally well
 Roy Kirkpatrick as the "Commo- dore" and "Begger" won the house, his solo added much to the pleasure of the play.
 Mir. Lincoln as Judge" and MT. Lundy Cox as Farmer" so kindly giving their time, acted well their parts, winning merited applause and well deserved thanks. ''The Doctor and Peddler so very well taken prov ed to be none other than Willard Vim mer, adding in a large measure to the success of the play.
 MT. Hill as Farmer Joe" proved his ability as personator
 "The Boys Brigade" was well worth our while. Sneed Villines as the Captain" would have been hard to beat.
 "The Two Jolly Farmers" Newburn Edgmon and Sid Villines, with large hats and bows were true to their name.
 Indeed all were success. The amount of time spent in patient re- hersal for the Merry Milkmaids" achieved it's merited reward in a per feet success in the play as gwen, gain ing the approval and appreciation of those present for Green Forest home talent.

A. has been handicapped for some time on account of shortage in motive power and other equipment, there is evidence in all departments of some body "behind the gum This is es- pecially true of the track department. 'Slow orders" are rare and are only given to keep the dispatcher and train men familiar with the form. Lots of new ties, crushed rock and river gray el are playing an important part to- ward the speed and safety of passen- gers and perishable fast freight trains. The M. & N. A. is not insignificant by any means. She has the best equipped train that pulls into Helena and com pares favorably with the main line flyers she connects with and during the recent floods in the low lands she was the only road to get into Helena with regular service.
