THE CHURCHES.
Methodist Church Notes.

Sabbath school was shortened and
the morning preaching service put a
half hour earlier last Sunday that we
might hear the great temperance ad-
dress of Mr.. G. F. Rinehart, the
man who made Arizona dry, and the
man who is experimenting the great
campaign for a dry Chicago. This
was rare privilege for the people OF
Leon. The address was masterful,
and many expressions of great appre-
citation were heard. The method OF
treating the subject was not that OF
moral issue, although Mr.. Rinehart
says it is that, but rather along
scientific and economic lines. Each
point was clearly and forcefully
made; and the congregation that fill
ed the house will long remember this
very informing and thrilling address.
We were glad to welcome the Pres
byterian congregation at the service
Some fifteen of the Mems Gospel
Team went to Davis City on the noon
train Sunday and conducted the even
ing. service in the Methodist church

Mother, Ten Years
Married, Travels with Brood on
One Railroad Ticket.

South Bend, Ind, March 5.-Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Scott, who dwelt
near South Whitley, have gone west to
establish new home. Their hope is
to find in Kansas or Oklahoma
enough tillable land to provide EN-
ployment and sustenance for the
whole-Scott-fam and it is some
family; in fact, Il record breaker.
Although married only ten years
Mr.. and Mrs Scott are the parents Of
nineteen children, thirteen of whom
are living, all sons and under the
age of 5 years.
AS explained by Frank NJ. Prugh
the SCOTS hold the record for trip
let's, five sets having been born to
them. There were also two sets OF
twins.
At present the SCOTS and their
family of sons are at Highland, Kan
sas, but they expect to locate near
Muskogee, Oklahoma
When enroute to the west Mrs.
Scott boarded a train with her brood
senting one first-class ticket
we can't carry a Sunday school
class on one ticket, madam" said the
railroad man.
But they are all my children de-
clared Mrs Scott.
1t was necessary for her to show
the record in the family Bible to con-
vince the conductor
In naming the children Mr.. and
Mrs. Scott showed partially for the
letter "a. Following are the names
and ages:
Ashbell, Archer and Austin, trip
lets, AZ years old.
Arthur and Arnold, 8 Y years old.
Allen, Almon and Albin,, triplets,
21a years old.
Alfred, Albion and Adolph, trip
let's, 18 months old.
Abel and Abner, twins, 6 months
old.
The reason for this partially has
never been revealed, but humorist
has suggested that the parents con-
templated going through the alpha

With the approach of the spring
painting season the attention of the
dairy and food commission is again
directed to the sale of adulterated
linseed oil and paints.
AS result Of the sale Of adulter-
s;cd linseed Oil in this state, the de-
partment has, been compelled to pros
cute 1873 cases. During the past two
years the adulterated product has be-
come less common and the adulterat-
ors have been driven to other states.
Adulterated linseed oil is still being
offered for sale, however, by mail or
der methods, and owing to the fact
that these shipments are made in in
terstate commerce, the purchase S
cannot receive the protection thai
the Iowa laws afford.
The dairy and food commissioner
wishes to warn prospective purchas
ers to beware of oils offered for sale
below the market price and from fake
mail order houses, as such oil is fire.
quently adulterated.
One mail order house soliciting or
ders in Iowa does business under
four different names, and if their
product sold under one name is found
to be adulterated, it is offered for
sale under another.

which was ordered by the state for
