HAIR CUTTING WILL BE S0cts.

Beginning Monday neXt-Feb. 18th
the price OF hair cutting will be 2Oc
This increase has been decided upon
only after thorough investigation
by the most prominent Master Bar
bers Of this city. While this increase
is very small It means much to the
individual man, as it Will improve
conditions generally in giving better
service and help to better the cant
tary conditions, which is very essen
tial to all patrons.
The Master BARRIERS feel that the
public should take kindly to this
change, as It is the first time in the
history of this city that they have
asked for an increase in price.
They ask you to consider the fact
that the average man only gets a
haircut every three. four or five
weeks, and at the most this change
will mean the difference of only
about 60c or roc a year to YOU. while

HARMONY MAY
COME WITH NEW
CHURCH TRUSTEES

Members Of the First Methodist
Protestant Church last night elected
board of trustees and asked their
pastor TO read from the Scriptures
and offer a prayer for them, which he
did. The meeting went off so smooth
ly that no one who did not know the
facts would have suspicioned that
there had been the slightest trouble
between the young pastor and his
congregation.
While the meeting was held against
the pastors wishes, he was present
and refrained from taking any part
in the proceedings but said the cleo
ton was illegal.
The meeting was called 10 order by
B. McManus who outlined its purpose
and asked Mr.. Hantzmon TO read the
scripture and pray. After this SER
vice Mr.. McManus proposed that a
temporary chairman and secretary be
selected, naming I. d. Espanshade.
Mr. Hantzmon at this point made
statement that the election was
illegal
Mr. Espenshade was next named as
chairman after which Mr.. McManus
moved that in case any reporters
were present that they kindly retire
The one reporter went, but as some
of the congregation declared that il
was a public meeting it was sug-
gested that he return. He did.
This did not meet with the ap-
proval of Mr. McManus, however, and
he again asked the reported to retire
which he did The meeting then
proceeded without further Interrupt
ton and this board of trustees was
named.

urer.
Twenty-six votes were cast, ant
the opposition claims that only si'
of those voting favor the pastor !
is also claimed that there is no IL
feeling against the pastor and tha
