TELEPHONE LISTENERS REBuKEp

A simple little device has lust
been completed and will presently
be put into general use on party
lines which is expected TO detect the
eavesdropper. II can be applied TO
any telephone. II is a small disc
which connects with a keynote
tongue and whenever the receiver
is lifted from the hook the sound is
heard by central" As each phone
on the party line has its own key
note. 1t only remains to recognize
the tone to identify the culprit, the
little tell-tale disc will be some
thing of killjoy to those gossips
who have keen delight in surlep-
tltlously learning all the news OF
the neighborhood over the phone,
who remind us in roundabout
way OF the Athenians who "spend
their time in nothing else but either
to tell or to hear some new thing"

INFLUENCE OF A BEAUTIFUL PIC
TURE

Do you want TO give a beautiful
Christmas gift to the home folks,
something that will never need to
be thrown on the rubbish heap,
something that will not break or
wear out or lose its value, but will
be more treasured as the years go
by, something that will be an in
spiration TO all who look upon it?
Then take home a beautiful pic
ture. Give the children something
to look at that they can understand
and enjoy, warm with light and col
or. Tell them what the great man
wanted to teach when he put the
colors on the canvas. Don't buy
mother kitchen utensils this year
or an unbecOming dress or an ill
fitting pair of gloves. She deserves
something better at Christmas time.
Give her something that will bring
a tender light into her eyes as she
goes on her mOnotonous round OF
duty.
A thoughtful person once said on
leaving a home: That family needs
a twenty dollar picture. They do
not know that they need it. They
think they need more money or more
nnery. But only the influence of
picture can bring harmony
into that home" Could this be said
Of your home? If there is ever a time
when all turn toward the ideal il is
at Christmas time. Take home a
picture.

WINTER STORE

Dreary will be the winter to him
whose graneries are empty. But
drearier and more desolate still
must be the winter of old age TO the
man or woman whose mind and
heart and soul have brought from
the harvest only the joys that are
chaff and the virtues that are mere
windfalls, attained and adhered TO
only through easy convenience.
When that winter comes, as IL
must TO many of us, we shall have
only ourselves TO turn to, and we shall
find that only which we have sown
and harvested in the bright spring
and golden summertime good grain,

members OF the Mountain Volun-
teer Band a few ministers Of the
country churches came together last
week to talk over plans for making
the people OF their communities bet
ter people and for improving the
work OF the country churches. A
considerable number expected to
come who did not arrive because OF
the extremely unfavorable weather.
The conferences have been ex-
ceedingly helpful and the spirit Of
all who attended was encouraging.
All recognized the need Of just such

a meeting where difficulties and en-
couraging things could be talked
over in an informal way. Repre-
sentatives Of six different denomina-
tons or branches Of denominations

countryside 10 adopt a common pro-
gram for community service and
work shoulder to shoulder for the
cause Of Christ and His people in a
spirit Of friendly cooperation. All
recognize that the task before the
ministers and teachers thruout the
mountains is a large one. All de-
nominations are needed to work for
better churches, better schools, bet
ter farming. better health for the
people. better homes. better social
conditions among those whose stand
ards may be too low. All who attend
ed the conference are heartily in
favor Of cooperating with their
friends Of other denominations in
doing the things that will be Of help
