YOUR PRESENCE DESIRED AT
 THE MISSION

Two days of the Mission" have come and gone. Still for some req son unknown to the writer the citizens of Cordoya fight shy of Eagle hall at 8:15 D. m. It may be that the Mis- sion Lectures are thought to be for those of the Catholic persuasion only; to correct this misapprenhension the Lecturer has distributed hundreds of dodgers" to tell that his presence is rather for the non-church people for whom he feels a kindly interest. The Lecturer disclaims any intention of wounding the religious feelings of any Cordovan. He professes a sincere reverence for the religious opinions of his fellows and therefore studiously avoids expressions tending to reflect on the sincerity of those who differ from his in matters of religion. The subjects suited to Catholics as Catho- lies are treated of within the pre- cincts of the little church on the hill, and to these church exercises at 6 a. m. and 4 D. m. All Catholics good, bad and indifferent are cordially invited and we hereby bespeak for them a priestly Christ-like welcome.
 It may be that non-Catholics are afraid that their presence in Eagle hall at 8:15 p. m. or later will put them in a humiliating or compromis- ing position; the dodgers" dissipate this fear. The presence of non Catholics is to be taken as a mere manifestation of interest in an Ameri- can speaker who claims he has an important message of good news to convey to the public and knows how to deliver it without offense.
 It may be that yop are afraid of Eagle hall is located; it is in your home town.
 It may be that some do not want to be thought Eagles; well from Sunday October 17th to Sunday October 24th inclusive Eagle hall belongs to Father Carbett who has leased it precisely to make you all feel at ease.
 It may be that some are afraid of being held up" by a bland stranger; we'll Father Corbett doesn't care for money though he knows how to get it and how to spend it too in the com munity where he gets it. Keep your eyes on your Docketbook or leave itI home if at all nervous. for Father Corbett is a Jesuit a member of the Society of Jesus. and Jesuits are pro- verbally masters of strategy; consult Webster's Dictionary. Yet Father. Father Corbett is very much human and pleads guilty to modicum of strategy but it is the strategy of ab- solute aightfordwardness the strat' egy of Christ who went about doing good" and who wants his ministers to try to do likewise.
 It may be that you are agraid of excitement, hysteria or the agonies of the mourners' bench. We'll all this fraud is cut out. Therefore citizens of Cordova, Saints and Sinners come any evening early or late to Eagle hall. Sit down, stand up, or go to sleep as you like. The speaker is not bothered by interruption or noise.
 Now gentlemen, Father Corbett knows he will have a full" house of sober men and women tomorrow night when he will tell the story of his bro- ther Jim"
 Tonight as per the "dodger" he will give you hell" or the Sting of De- feat" the direct consequence of the Creatures War of Rebellion against his conscience and his God.

Not to Be Sneezed At.

Victims of hay and rose fever were
rejoicing over the receipt by Cleveland
physicians Of vaccine that is said
to provide immunity from annual at
tacks. Physicians say the new dis
covery is boon for victims.
The serum administered to patients
is gathered from common grasses,
weeds and Towering plants. Ten to-
fifteen injections Of the serum given
during the four to six weeks preceding
the hay-fever season are necessary
to ward off the attack.
II have had splendid success with
the hay-fever vaccine" DR.. E. Frank
Romig said. "Other physicians who
are using 1t are we'll pleased with the,
results they have had, am told"

FIRST BAPTIST

Our meeting closed Sunday night.
There were twenty-three additions
to our church, and some who pro-
fessed conversion will unite with
other churches. Taking it all in all
it was one of the best meetings |
have ever had the privilege of
working in. The preaching was
plain, powerful and unusually per-
suasive. DR.. Dew made his appeal
in simple terms, with no effort to
excite or brighten people. He did
not once suggest that others should
90 and try to drag their unsaved
friends to the front. There was no
clap-trap methods, and no unreas-
enable propositions. We believe
there was a deep and an abiding
work of grace in this meeting.
Every seat in the church was occu-
pied Sunday night and some could
not get in. DR.. and Mrs. Dew have
gone to Charleston, Mo-, where they
will assist in meetings at the First
Baptist Church of that place
We feel that it is but right to
publicly thank our Methodist
brethren for their house of worship
on the two afternoons that DR.. Dew
spoke there. We also thank Mr..
Bebb for the use of the piano
which was such a great help to us
in music. We are under lasting
obligations to members of the or
chestra for their kindness in helping
with the music during the meeting
and we are very grateful to the
members of other choirs who so
willingly help in the singing. And
last but by no means least of all
we are exceedingly thankful for
every cent that was contributed
either to the current expense of the
meeting or to DR.. and Mrs. Dew's
benefit. We praise the Lord for the
Christian fellowship that was mani
fest all through the meetings.

WhoopInu Couch,

The Bureau of Laboratories of the
New York board Of health has been
conducting an extensive investigation
of whooping cough. and DR.. Paul Lut-

inquiry.
Among the most interesting con-
illusions reached is that the early part
Of the disease is the most infectious
The bacillus that is believed to cause

to be no necessity for the child to be-
kept in the house for more than q.
week after the whoop appears"
Doctor Luttinger says physicians un-
derestimate the seriousness Of the dis
ease and fail to report cases. Only
26 per cent Of cases in a certain area
were reported, and probably not more
than 10 per cent are reported I'm

TIME TO PRUnE NOW.

(By G.. A. Keffer, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
Late April and early May is the best
time to prune trees i'll Tennessee,
Peach trees may be pruned earlier, and
grapevines that have not yet been
pruned should have the work done
when the new growth is few inches
long, at which time the greatest care
is necessary to avoid breaking the new
shoots; but apples and pear trees
especially are best pruned now.
If the trees are of bearing age, be-
gin pruning at the top, and remember
that the purpose of pruning is to let
sunshine reach the fruit spurs in the
lower part of the crown. Prune heav-
lest at the top. 1t is better to cut out
many small limbs than one large one.
Do not make holes in the crown, but
endeavor to distribute the light evenly
throughout Prune less and less as
you go down the tree, and at the lower
part of the crown remove nothing but
dead wood
Young trees should be pruned to
give them symmetrical shape, with
strong skeleton branches so placed as
to provide for the best distribution of
light throughout the crown when the
tree is in full bearing. The main
branches should radiate from the
trunk like spokes from wheel hub
Avoid cross-branching, and narrow
forking Do not cut out the small
branches on the lower limbs-they are
needed to shade the trunk and main
branches, thus preventing sun scald
Cut back last years shoots from one
third to one-half, to make them stalky
tall, slender trees can never carry
heavy crops), then the last years
shoots to provide plenty of room and
light for those that remain. Remove
water sprouts as they appear through
the summer,
