FIRST BAPTIST

We had SO at Sunday School last
Sunday. We think that pretty good
for such a bad day, considering that
so many are sick. We had a very
good attendance at the Sunday
morning preaching service, but the
crowd at night was small. We ap-
preciate the presence of those who
came and could wish that others
had felt brave enough to have faced
the storm.
1t is very gratifying to see the eff
fort on the part of so many to be
at Sunday School on time. We
meet at 9:45 for Bible study.
The preaching services are at II
a. m. and 7:30 p. m
The B. Y. P. u. meets at $780,
The subject next Sunday evening is
India. Mrs. Conway will lead the
meeting.
The Woman'S Missionary Society
will meet with Mrs. 7. M. Maddox,
at the Maddox Hotel Friday after
noon at 2:30 1t is earnestly re-
quested that every member be pres
ent. We extend to the public a
cordial invitation to attend all of
our services.

Century Club Meets at Studio.

On Tuesday afternoon. Feb. II,
the Century Club met at the Studio
with Miss johnson as hostess.
This was the third of the Home
Economic meetings held this year.
After the business meeting, the les
son for the afternoon was taken up,
the subject being Dress" A splen-
did paper was read by Mrs. W. w.
Longmire, followed by various clip
pings read by the members. The
subject for discussion was the harm
gossip causes. Many and various
were the opinions but always with
the fact in view that gossip is un.
doubtedly harmful.
A full attendance of members in
town answered the roll call after
which few minutes were spent in
chatting and examining a new nov
ell Uncle Sans Star Route" by
Betsy Ross, illustrated in a unique
manner, by H. Oliver Bodine with
original photographs.
The doors to the sky-light room
were thrown open and a beautiful
scene was presented to view.
There were four tables, seating %
ladies, set with shining silver, cut
glass and beautiful china.
The Club cOlors green and white
with the Club flower, white carna-
tions, were used. In the center of
each table was a tall vase of white
carnations and feathery ferns.
The place cards were envelopes
which the hostess asked be not
opened until later, greatly exciting
the proverbial curiosity of women.
1t was then demonstrated what
genius, good cook and eight and
one third cents per plate, could do
toward serving a six course lunch
con to % ladies. The menu being
as follows:
Spinach Soup and Toasted Bread
R. & R. Croquets Potatoes au gratin

JUDGE RUCKER
ENGAGED In Important Legislation
One OF the Most Influential
Men In Congress-.

What was perhaps one of the
most notable political conference of
the year, took place Monday, when
Chairman Rucker entertained the
Committee on Election of President,
Vice President and Representatives
in Congress at luncheon at the
New Willard Secretary of State
Bryan and Solicitor Folk were the
honor guests. The primary purpose
of the luncheon was to afford men,
bers of the Committee an oppor-
tunity to discuss, informally, with
Mr. Bryan and Mr.. Folk, contem-
plated legislation providing for
the nomination of presidential can
didates by direct vote 1t viii be
remembered that Judge Rucker was
instrumental in the enactment of
legislstion which is now the 18th
amendment to the Constitution and
requires United States Senators to
be elected by the people. Mr.. Bryan
and Judge Rucker co-operated 10
the preparation and passage Of that
measure. Judge Rucker now has
under consideration the preparation
of a presidential primary bill and
the luncheon on Monday gave the
members of the Committee al op-
portunity to discuss such a bill
miRutely and in detail with tbs dis-
tinguished honor guests of the oc-
caSlon Mr. Folk has been giving
great deal of thought to legislation
of this character. Assistant POST
master General Dockery was also
guest. Judge Rucker has an en-
gagement to confer with President
Wilson one day this week, and with
the suggestions .and advice of the
President, Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Folk
in bis mind, will be splendidly
equipped for the work before him.
Washington News Feb. 10.
The conference between President
Wilson and Judge Rucker was held
Wednesday Feb. II. President
Wilson urged prompt action upon
measure providing for national
system of nominating candidates
for President by primary election.
On the fundamentals of a bill the
President and Judge Rucker agreed
Judge Rucker told the President
that is generally held by Congress-
men that states must retain the
same relative power they now pos
sess. To this Mr.. Wilson agreed.
Judge Rucker and the Committee
will work out the details of the bill.
The Second Congressional District
OF Missouri has a Representative
who works increasingly for the good
of the people and he accOmplishes
much. To his work is due the
passage of the bill requiring elec.
ton of United States Senators by
the people. Democracy has just
begun its work for the people and
men like Judge Rucker should be
continued in Congress. He has the
ability, he is fearless in the dis
charge of his duty, he is honest and
stands Squarely for the interests of
the people.
