CHURCH LIFE

CHURCH LIFE
just ~ Pastor Oliver was leaving
home on the 18th inst. for pastoral WIS.,
iting on his out appointments, \ phone
message from the Ashdown neighbor-
hood called of the meeting planned for
18th on account Of . new case of small
pox. It Is not likely that this will
spread, having been promptly quaran-
tined; and the work will probably be re-
sumed on May II.
The pastor then went, by way of
Green Valley schoolhouss, arranging for
. meeting in place Of that cancelled, to
Graham, to meet the Presbyterian min
lister, Rev. G. e. Woodward, Of Pine
Bluffs, Wyo., who has recently opened
week evening meetings at the school
house, rs also 1T Higday. This plan
had arisen out Of kind suggestion Of
Rev. H. B. Mcmillan, when organizing
Sunday School there. A thoyo discus
sion Of the field and its possibilities end
ed in hearty agreement that the north
west corner Of the Avalo school district,
including the Dyer, Higday, Degler and
Graham schools. should be in the care
Of the Presbyterian church. BY this
means it will b possible for Pastor Oil
yer to do more thoro work on the re-
mainder of the territory first planned.
A meeting was held. both ministers
speaking, and, in face Of the busy time,
there were twenty out. Thus has been
written another chapter in the history
of nterdenominstional goodwill in the
spiritual development Of this section;
and the churches and communities In
terestsd are to be congratulated on the
outcome. We look for the mapping out
Of all the country around US on lines Of
honesty and effectiveness within the
near future.
Then followed great wetting on
Thursday, great drying on Friday, and
great blowing on Saturday; the last,
however, did not hinder the pastor from
reaching Sunnyridge. where he preached
in the morning Of 10th to good house,
and received Mr.. and Mrs. K. X. For
tune by transfer, the first members Of
the Methodist church on his out appoint
ments. In the afternoon the Green VAL
Icy audience Of forty-three held its op-
sning service. The home work, mean
while, had gone we'll, and the Epworth
League rejoicsd in large proportion Of
our young mon. The president and pas
tor spoke on Easter" laid over from
the 18th.
Next sabbath, 26th, is the pastors
home day. and he will preach both
morning and evening, and give a, short
sketch Of the opening Of the missionary
work Of the M. E. church, with black
board work, ~ one Of series Of Ep-
worth League mission studies.
The appointments for May will be,
Hightowsr, morning; Sunnyridgs, 2:30
p. M; and Green Valley. 7:30 p. m.

RED Line NAMED
Is Part of TranscOntinentl Trail
Through Kansas.
Shorter Than All Others-Ex-
pect Government Aid.

Glasco, May fl. F. Davidson, one
of the most active business men of
Glasco. and a big pusher for better
roads. is rejoicing on account OF the
Red Line being chosen as the Kansas
link of the Midland Transcontinental
trail. For several good reasons this
route was chosen. Among them is the
fact that it lis the best automobile
route between Kansas City and Den
yer. and the promoters claim 1t is
nearly 100 miles shorter than any
other route. It is free from sand and
affords an ideal roadbed, hence its
recognition by the national associa-
ton. 1t is also said this line will re-
ceive government recognition at early
date. The line passes through an
ideal farming country, and excursion
lists who will pass over it will no doubt
get a favorable impression of the
state. The line will be marked in the
Midland trail log from Kansas City to
the coast. Besides the 1915 exposi-
ton opens. in San Francisco, and the
Red Line will be the best patronized
road line. Mr.. Davidson and other
enthusiastic workers like w. F.
Hughes of Plainvi',e, as we'll as all
the towns through which the Red
Line passes, favor the utmost har-
mony, for 1t shows the eastern peo-
pie that Kansas shows UP bumper
crops at THIS time ana the STATE O1rt
roads are as good as any seen any,
where. The work of organizing Mid
land trail locals will be commenced at
once in all the towns where the Red
Line passes. In the new arrange
ments Kansas will be entitled to two
vice presidents and three commits
sioners.
One of the first towns to organize
a Midland trail local was Plainville.
Rocks county, with over 100 men,
bers. Officers were elected as fol-
lows: w. L. Davenport, president; c.
J. Broderick, vice president, and U. S.
Green, secretary and treasurer.

FLOOD AT GARDEN CITY.
Arkansas City Out of Banks-Bridge
Washed Out.

Garden City, May Hard rains of
the past week caused the overflow of
the Arkansas river at this place and
washed out about eighty feet of the
bridge near town. The fair grounds
were completely inundated and water
nearly reached buildings in the lower
part of the city. Parties living across
the river were forced to cross at Hol-
comb or Pierceville.
THE Old Virginia" was played two
nights in succession by the Sugar City
Dramatic club for the purpose Of as
sisting the members of the band to
procure uniforms. The band was or
gained in 1913 and was composed of
beginners. The interest in 1t has in
creased until it is now a permanent
institution of forty pieces.
