when they should get the necessities

The association will also ask that
the city church take a thank offering
for the association at the Sunday ser

Thanksgiving. because of the fact that
the funds are better collected this
way than at the union meeting.

had reached a point about half mile
east of Edgington, when the car ran
onto a slippery piece of road, caused
by the recent rains. The machine
skidded, turned completely around and
one tire on the hind wheel blew out
at the same moment. The car lurched
