EP WORTH LEAGUE
Reception at M. E. Church for the
Purpose of Better Fellowship
Among the Young People

Last week Wednesday evening a,
party was given at the Methodist
church by the Epworth League So
ciety, for the purpose of making the
young people of the town and college
better acquainted with each other. 1t
was very enjoyable affair and amply
repaid the League in regard to the
fact that it served its purpose well.
Clifford Cummings, the League presi-
dent, gave short talk, welcoming the
guests, and he expressed the feeling
of the entertainers very we'll, for they
certainly made the evening one to be
remembered. Upon arriving the gen.
tlemen guests were given an envelope
containing written question, and the
ladies one containing the answers. In
matching them partners were found
and line formed, which marched, and
then each couple read their question
and answer. Other similar games
were played during the evening. A
fine supper of coffee, doughnuts,
cakes, salads, fruit salads and sand
wiches was awaiting the company,
and it was distributed on the serve
self plan. Over two hundred were
present, and an added interest in the
League is expected, due to the en-
thusiasm in which this reception was
received.

Alma College faces the two hardest
games of the season the two Satur-
days following Notre Dame, first at
South Bend and then M. A. c. at East
Lansing. The gridiron honors this
year will probably not fall to the lot
of Alma College, although she has one
of the strongest teams in her history.
The Catholics will be hard to down
and NJ. A. c. has good chance for a
hard battle. Ephie Johnson, of Cadil-
lac, a man who was one of Alma's
mainstays for the past four years, is
assisting Coach Bleamaster with the
coaching. Ole Anderson and Good
rich are also helping with the Re-
serves.

 RESINOL CURED

Washington, D. C., Dec. 3, 1913: "All over my body were small pimples which itched me so that I could just grab my flesh and tear it apart. For three weeks could not sleep at night until I was simply exhausted. I tried most everything that was supposed to give relief, and I can truthfully say that not until used Resinol Soap and Resinol Ointment did begin to feel like the man I was. After only two appiica- tions there were no more symptoms of my ailment." (Signed) A. Jackson, care of Water Registrars Office, Dis- trict Building.
 Resinol Ointment (5Oc. and $l.00), and Resinol Soap {25c.), stop itching instantly and speedily heal eczema, and other skin humors, pimples, dandruff, sores, burns and piles. Sold by every druggist. Don't be fooled by "substi- tutes' for Resinol offered by few interruptions dealers. For free trial, write to Dept. XIX, Resinol, Baltimore.

"Tippy" Fay's Union to Have
 Ciambkc on May l7th.

From now until Sunday, May IT, it is extremely doubtful if the members of "Tippy' Pays Independent Order of Expressmen, Drivers and Helpers will partake of any eatables for on the aforesaid date the order is to have one grand blowout, a monstrOus clam bake to be held at Carbo's Grove in Kensington.
 Association Has Nearly $2OO.
 "Now, I wantcher ter understan' that this ain't goin ter be no piker's spread eder," announced the genial Tippy. "There are 156 guys in dis association and all are to be on deck with an empty stomach" The Ex- pressmen's association now has nearly $2O0 in it's treasury and how it should be expended was causing much worry to the leaders until the happy thought of a clam bake occurred to the thoughtful 'Tippy," None but members of the Express mems union, and few invited friends who, because of special valor are deemed worthy of eating at the same tebles with the knights of the moving vans, will attend.
 We was wise, we was," continues "Tippy;" for before election we got after lots of public people and made 'em buy tickets for our last supper and entertainment Of course they didn't go but they paid their little two-bits for the tickets and this is the result-we made $56 clean cash on that night
