GIVE EGGS TO PAY
 THE CHURCH BILLS
One Hundred and Sixty.eight Dozen
 Contributed at One of the Ser & vices.

Ravenwood, Mo, May 20.-How to make the hen pay the preacher and bear all other expenses of the church and never know it has been figured out by members of the Harmony church five miles northwest of here.
 The project followed Sundays egg collection at the Harmony church when the worshippers brought the Saturday product of their hens. to church instead of the usual dimes and quarters.
 One hundred and sixty-eight dozen eggs went into the contribution boxes, or. $25 worth, figuring the value at>16 cents a dozen, the present price here. Rev. c. R. Green is pastor of the church.
 This makes the value of the eggs of the community $9,000 year, and there is move on foot to market these eggs,' guaranteed as a com mOdity, claiming that to cents a dozen extra that is paid for such eggs as compared with the uncertain ties of the ordinary product. The dif- ference will pay the preacher, keep the church in repair, buy special light plant running.
 The women of the. community have agreed to undertake the plan and they will organize into an egg ship ping company for that purpose.
 The largest number of eggs brought to the Sunday collection was contrib uted by John Dawson, whose hens laid 176 eggs Saturday.

tide. We call the women of our Pres byterian church to practical sep .aration of themselves from these tendencies of our times, and exhort them to he at this point examples to their sisters, lending their voice and influence alike, against all extremes of dress and seeking to lead society in a more worthy and wholesome dl- rection.
 Another contributory factor is the increasing craze for excitable and unchaste amusements. Tee dance, never perhaps what could be wished, has become the subject of indescrib- ably vulgar joke, and is calling out the condemnation of many holding high places of ecclesiastical author ity. The moving picture shows, al- though under what is claimed to be strict censorship, are calculated to inflame the thoughts and emotions of the young. The theatre, with its outrageously flippant handling of sex problems and situations, as we'll as the notorious disregard of so many of it's leaders for high standards of martial and even ordinary moral re- lations. is laying a net that must seduce and capture a considerable part of our rising generation.
 "The literature of the day presents another very serious factor in this great problem. Perhaps we are not mistaken when we speak of it as one of the most alarming symptoms of a general condition that seems bad in of nf On that is printed today has woven some where in it's plot the iAtricacies of a sex question. The book reviews are a long series of descriptions of such stories. One would imagine there was no other problem in peoples minds today. And the most grave feature of it seems to be that this is what they appear to want.
 "It may be that the flood of un- clean literature, while much to be deplored, could not have been alto gether unexpected, and is partly an evidence of an awakened conscience. If this element of hopefulness is dis coverablc, and is real, we will re- joice in it."' 2
 The report sees "real danger in what we believe inheres in the too general and ildiscriminate publicity given to questions of sex in the na,rle of education." but qualities the state ment as follows:
 Should Eulogize Ideals.
 ''It is understood, of course, in all that is said above, that there is only commendation and high praise for every movement that would give con- structive education to children youths and parents, to enlarge their ideals concerning self and sex, and to safeguard them from evil. No

 "It is, therefore, ordered, adJudged and decreed that the said defendants, and each of them, be and are hereDy enioined from attempting to enforce the provisions of section ], or ordl- nance No. 1277 of the city of Pine Bluff; and sections of said ordl- nance. excepting in such events the company shall refuse to install sep arate service between it's main ana the street curb of each house, TOT which minimum charge Is made; and that the prayer of complainant for an order enjoining the defendants from enforcing the provisions Of sec tion 2 of said ordinance is denied, excepting in such events when custo- mers shall unAsrtake to make an election between the flat rate and the metered basis of being supplied water by complainant company more often than once year, and 1t IS further ordered, adjudged and de- creed that the plaintiff do have ana receive of the defendants all it's costs herein expended except costs on the exceptions.

 Most of his injuries were inflicted about the face and head, one scalp wound that extended to the skull be- ing four inches in length. His face and mouth were also badly torn and bitten.
 A baby sister informed the lads mother of his plight, and his inn mediate rescue saved him from hor- rit'e death.

word of warning here given should be construed as inimical to high minded movements of this nature, or ulsympathetic with the noble Dur- poses they seek to serve."
 The report concludes with a set Of resolutions calling upon pastors to guard children against all factors Of life which conduce to immortality; commenting those pastors who have taken up the subject frankly with fathers and mothers, and calling up on others to do so; recognizing the work of juvenile courts, demanding the punishment of men as well as women offenders against morality and approving all legislation looking to the eradication of prostitution.

hell yawned for those who danced yet the waltz acclaimed
today the modest of dances. As recently stated in these
columns the waltz be made disgusting when couples
