SUNDAY SCHOOL
 CONVENTION SOON
County President Urges Prepara- for Good Reports at State Con-
 vention in Little Rock

To the Sunday School Workers of Independence County.
 When my last article appeared in The Journal, was hoping that we might hold a convention in each group of townships as arrang- ed last autumn, before the date set for our state convention. But the smallpox scare has interfered somewhat with our plans, and to- gether with other agencies, has so hindered us, that 1t Is hardly prob able that we will be able to hold many township conventions before the state meeting.
 The following Is copied from the Arkansas Sunday School Her aid and IS therefore authentic: Arkansas Twenty-sixth State Sunday School Convention sched- uled for Little Rock, April 28, 29 and 30, will be one of the greatest events of the church life of the state. Other conventions repre- sent great movements and great denominations, but this conven- tion represents the Protestantism of the State of Arkansas.
 Little Rock is in active prepara- tion for the event that will require several of the largest churches in the city for it's meetings, both day and night.
 There will be a school of methods for the different divisions a great demonstration and parade of organized classes, and separate meetings for men and women, with the best platform speakers the country affords.
 Among the speakers will be men and women of international repu- tation: Mrs. Lamoreaux of Chica- go, child study specialist; w. C. Pearce, of the International As sociation, who has his hand on the greatest church movement of the century; Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts, of Washington, D. C. who heads the reform movement of this country; c. E. Schenck, of Chicago, home department specialist; Harry Nc Keen, of Missouri, specialist in ru- ral church problems and rural life as it is today.

Office of Public Roads and our greatest road expert, tells us that
 "Not less than $250,000,000 is the tribute levied annually on the people of the United States by bad roads"
 MT. Chairman, this is an en- ormous economic waste, and we should relieve the people of our rural communities of this burden just as soon as possible. Lord Macaully, in his History of Eng land, says:
 Of all inventions, the alphabet and the printing press alone ex- cepted, those inventions which a. bridge distance have done most for the civilization of our species. Every improvement of the means of locomotion benefits mankind morally and intellectually as we'll as materially"
 Statistics show that in States where there are good roads 85 per cent of the children of school age attend the public schools, while in States where the roads have not been improved only about 65 per cent of the children receive the benefit of the public schools. Statistics also show that greater percentage of illiteracy obtains in localities where they have bad roads than in communities traver- sed by good roads. Therefore this legislation will promote the cause of education in our country. Yes, MT. Chairman, the question of good roads is one of the greatest questions confronting our people. One of the first bills introduced in Congress was a good-roads bill, and 1 might add that the bill be fore the House today is similar in many respects to the bill intro duced five years ago. The farmers of the United States in 1913 pro- duced crops valued at nearly S10,- 000,000,000, and in order to mark ct this crop 1t was necessarily hauled over bad roads, and the Di1ectof of the United States Pub lie Roads tells us in his reports that because of these bad roads 1t cost the farmers, and, of course, the consumers ultimately, S250,- 100000 more to market their crops 1 than would have been the expense with good roads: hence. you see that this IS a serious and import

0LDFIELD'S SPEECH
 ON GOOD ROADS
Makes Able Argument in Congress in Favor of
 National Aid For Road Builaline

Congressman Oldfeld's recent speech in congress in favor of the Good Roads Bill is an able presen- tation of the matter, and is given herewith in full. Mir. Oldfeld said:
 T know of no legislation which is of more import ance and of more benefit to the masses of the people than good-roads legislation, and 1 desire to state in the outset of my remarks that we, in passing this bill, are carrying out another plat form pledge of our party. The Baltimore platform says:
 We favor national aid to State andlocal authorities inthe construc- ton and maintenance of post roads"
 This bill carries an appropria- ton of $25,000,000 to aid the States in constructing and main taining roads over which the mails are transported, and 1 want to ask why, if there is any reason, should we not aid the States in building roads for the people in futherance of our program to inn prove the general conditions under which we live so far as legislation will accomplish that end? We have appropriated nearly $4000,000,000 for the purpose of constructing the Panama Canal. Every year we have appropriated large sums to improve the rivers and harbors of the country. We have appropri- ated millions of dollars of the peoples money for the purpose of constructing post-office buildings throughout the country; hence, Mir. Chairman, 1t seems to me that too long already have been de- ferred appropriations for con- struction and maintenance of good roads, the benefits of which would be directly felt every day in the year by every citizen of the Re public. This bill provides for CO., operative plan by which the States and the local communitives bear a proper proportion of the expense, and United States Government, through the Department of Agri- culture, meets the obligation we owe the people in this great under taking.
 Mir. Chairman, the tax known as the "bad-roads tax" is the heaviest burden borne by the American people today, and Hon. Logan ". Page, Director Of the

REBEkAHS ENTERTAIN
Belated Report of Pleasant Gathering
at Odd Fellows Hall One Even
ing Last Week.

The following excellent report of a
social function given by the local Re-
bekahs was Inadvertently left out last
week. The story was in type but was
crowded out in some unavoidable man
|ner. The Herald wishes to apologize
to the society as well as to the lady
thoughtful enough to furnish the
story:
Last Thursday evening the mem
bers of the Rebekah lodge were roy
ally entertained in q somewhat novel
manner, the committee on entertain
|ment being composed entirely of men
There being class Of five to initiate
on that evening, it occurred to the No
i BILE Grand to appoint q committee Of
men to furnish the entertainment te
follow the ceremonies and the follow.
| in were appointed: q. E. Compton, v
IL. Burgess, G. E. Bohall, VIM. Pang'
burn and Wenzel Renechek. 4 i
perhaps needless to say that they
were equal to the occasion and proved
what admirable entertainers mer
could be unhampered by feminine a
sistance. The supper was served o.

small tables, each accommodating four
guests, and which presented . very
pretty appearance. The color scheme
being pink and white, the hand en-
graved place cards attracting many
admiring comments. Mr.. Compton, as
chairman Of the committee, acted as
chef and dispensed the food from a
beautifully appointed serving table at
the head of the room, Mr.. Burgess
and Mr.. Reznechek distributing the
same among the guests with the airy
grace of the professional waiter. Mr..
Bohall and Mr.. Pangburn occupied
seats at either end of the serving
table and poured coffee with an ease
that drew envious comments from the
ladies'. The immaculate white coats
worn by the men supplied the finish
ing touch to perfect scheme of en-
tertainment and the ladies generous
ly conceded that as entertainers OF
class the men are unsurpassed.-Com-
municated.

Dear Mr.. HM:-In compliance with a

tural Association, the subjoined COM
mittee duly appointed for that pur-
pose, desires to express to you the
keen appreciation, ON the part of our
Association, Of the generous and eff

We wish to denote our realization
of the practical, and resultful char

press our belief that this method of
helping men to help themselves, can
be well copied by all those who are
in positions which make it possible to

Your system of agricultural ex-
periments in this locality is doing
more than demonstrating the capabil-
tiles of the farm; it is arousing the
thinking capacity of the farmers, and
all OF those who recognize the pre-
enfnent place Of that which is the
very foundation Of our economic and
social progress.
Please accept our sincere thanks
for the helping hand you have given

tary of State Julius A. Schmahl, died
at st. Luke's hospital in this city at
ITO p. m. yesterday, following long
illness.
Mrs. Schmahl had been in poor
health for more. than two years. Her
ailment was diagnosed as cancer OF
the stomach October Is, 1911, and
shortly afterward she underwent an
operation which brought temporary
relief. Her health declined gradually
however.
She was taken to- st. Luke's hospi-
tai December 4, 1913, and soon after

was imminent. During the last few
days Mr.. Schmahl, with his son, Dana

tinued to live at Redwood Falls until

state necessitated his removal to st
Paul. Since then the Schmahl home
| has been at ago Dayton Avenue.

husband and son and by her mother
Mrs. Dunnington, who lives at Red
wood Falls.

IT CAN'T Be DID,
Sank Centre Ladies Have a "Silenl
Stitchers Club" of Younger
Married Matrons.

Has the day of miracles returned?
Sank Centre has a ladies organiza-
ton known as the "Silent Stitchers
Cub" the membership of which is,
made up of eleven of the younger old-
er married ladies of the city. Monday
evening the club were entertained at
the home of one of the new members,
Mrs. Sherman Strong. The Herald UNI
derstands that at this meeting the
Silent Stitchers decided to elect one of
their number as president. There was
a unanimous desire for some one who
could set an example of silence that
the other members could emulate.
After thorough canvass of the sit
uation the members instinctively and
unanimously arrived at the conclusion
that Mrs. Laurel Kells was best fitted
for the important position and she
was elected.
The Herald defes any other city in
the state to successfully organize a
like society the membership to be
made up of the gentler sex of normal
type. The Herald can always be de-
pended on to stand for home institu-
tions. The personnel of this wonderful
Organization is as follows: Mesdames
S. Strong, DIR. Moynihan, Thos. Smith,
Chas. Fiesler, Ben Dubois, Albert
Markson, M. D. Aygarn, L. L. Ke'ls,
A. F. Strebel, R. E. Hanson and 81.
w. Rice.
After the business of the evening
was finished the hostess excused her
self and retired to the kitchen. She re-
turned directly wreathed in smiles and
accompanying her were the husbands
of the members. The stitchers were
very much astonished ON seeing their
husbands because they had been SO
busy with their "silence" that they
could not hear their husbands when
they arrived. The men folks who in
most instances were left at home to
preside over the nursery when wiley
has her night out, on this evening had
plead important business "up town.
Dainty refreshments were served and
a most pleasant evening was brought
to a close.
| Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Whitfield OF
Saskatoon, Sask, were guests of hon.
or at this pleasant function.
