day showed US a photograph of a
threshing scene in a Kansas wheat
field, sent him by his friend, Glenn
Urein, of Yocemento, Kansas. Mr..

The parcel post last Sunday brought
to Mr.. VIM. Trauernicht, from his
friend, Pat O'Brien, OF Los Angeles,
California, a singular implement of
war from the Philippines. It was la
beled, "Ifugo Headax," and is q for
bidding looking weapon, something
like a double -bit ak, excepting that
one half the blade runs to q point.
The helm OF the implement is finely
ornamented, and the blade is of tenn
pered steel OF razor-like sharpness.
1t is the product of a tribe Of primitive
savagery, and one wonders that, with
out mechanical appliances, SO perfect
a piece of workmanship was accom- :
plished. Mr.. Trauernicht has placed
it in his museum of curiosities.
According to the Charleston Re-

A petition is being circulated tn.
e week asking Revs. Burke and Hobb
the evangelists who are now at BIZ
X. marck and who have conducted snt
" cessful meetings at Bonne Terre an
Flat River in this county, to come I

y Pipkin tells us that so far about tW
= hundred people have signed the pt
tition. tits understood that most
not all OF the local pastors, while nj

re have felt that perhaps other evange
OF lists than Messrs. Burke and Hobl
IS, would do a greater work here tina
ne they could do. Last year the tw
o local Methodist churches united In

for both congregations and the con
Of munity generally. They will like
