The LITTLE GlRL
OF THE FOREST
By NOrine Bragg.

Once there was little girl whose
name was Alice. She lived in the
forest with her grandfather, and they
loved each dearly. They were very
poor and had but a rude hut to live
in, but they were always happy. Alice
liked to drive the goats up to the
mountains to pasture and her grand
father always used to let her. But
one time she got lost, and some kind
people took her and she told them
about her grandfather and her home.
Then these people who found little
Alice took her and put her in a good
school and cared for her grandfather,
and they are still happy.
This is the end of the story. Yours

RURAL PASTORS
HAVE LUNCHEON
Informal Discussion on Work in
Country Led by DIR. G. VI.
Mcconnell.

Pastors from smaller churches and
rural communities who are attending
the Northwest Indiana Methodist con-
ference here held an informal lunch
con at the Y. NJ. c. A. last night at
which a discussion of the problems
of the country church was held. DR..
c. NJ. Mcconnell of Lakev'lle and New
kirk. o., whose efforts along the line
of country church work have made
him an expert and who delivered ad-
dresses before the conference Thurs
day and Friday, was the principal
talker.
Many questions regarding the rural
work and solutions of the problems
that face the country preacher were
asked DIR. Mcconnell. During the dis
cussion he asserted that one of the
first things the rural preacher should
do is to learn the conditions of his
parish and to make an effort TO Sc
cure good equipment This he said
could be best accomplished by mixing
with the people of the community.
That the social life of the community
could be shaped and be cleaner was
the assertion of DR.. Mcconnell He
said that the fight against immoral
recreation could be made successfully
only through the establishment of
other entertainments for the young
people. He is an advocate of the
gymnasium and athletics for the boys
and social affairs which will be at
tractive enough 10 the people to COM
pete successfully with the evil amuse-
mentS.
Or. Mcconnell has established a
gymnasium for the boys in his parish
and although il contains but a hOri-
zontal bar and a few mats he said that
the boys OF the community spent
much Of their time there either I'M
der the direction of himself or of
the school superintendent. Rooms
have been rented outside OF the
church where other amusements are
afforded the people.

Methodist Laymen Favor State Prohibition
Finds Missionary Work
In Africa Happy One

The trials, tribulations and joys Of
the missionary in Africa and the work
that is being done there by the Chris
tians sent out from America were pOr-
trayed Friday afternoon before the
members of the Woman's Foreign
Missionary society in session with the
Northwest Indiana conference by Miss
Emma Danforth Nourse OF Old Um-
tall. Africa, where the native girls
school is located. Miss NOurse was
sent to Africa six years aftO by the
WOmel's Foreign Missionary society,
having accepted the call at the con-
ference held at that time in CTaw-
louisville.
Her address was opened with the
story Of how she had decided TO en-
ter the missionary field. According
TO Miss NOurse she entertained the
idea from the time she was a young
girl, having read much missionary lit
erature. Her ambition was a secret
one and although she thought con-
tinually of taking up the work she
did not do so until, as she said. the
word was given her by God

want to go from my many friends in

loneliness left me.

girls who so much need the Christian,

that in any other heather country

Having gathered all the nee
essary evidence, Mr.. Hargadine
went to Benson Sunday, Mr..
Martin being at Graceville at
the same time. Sheriff Hassen-
stab and Deputy Beatty braved
the rough weather and worse
roads of Sunday, driving first to
Benson where Mr.. Hassenstab
remained with Mr.. Hargadine,
Deputy Beatty literally "Fording"
his way to Graceville, where
with Mr.. Martin, he took charge
of Garvey, the arrests of the
two culprits taking place stimuli
taneously through the agency
of the telephone. The prisoners
were then brought to Redwood
Falls where they were lodged in
the county jail until leaving for
Lamberton.
Did Good Work
The hearing was set for three
thirty o'clock this afternoon. Mr..
Hargadine and Keyes will meet
the others there and the sus-
poets will be turned over to Red
wood County justice after the
preliminaries.
The efficient work of Mr.. Har-
gadine in this case is a great
satisfaction to all who favored
his appointment by Governor
Hammond for this important
state office. Mr.. Hargadine went
into office in March, and this is
the first case Of Importance to
come under his management. 1t
was certainly handled in a most
admirable way. Mr.. Martin rem
dered Mr.. Hargadine most able
assistance throughout the case,
his long experience in the office
of the State Fire Marshal
smoothing away many of the
difficulties. Mr.. Martin spoke in
highest praise of the assistance
given by Sheriff Hassenstab and
Deputy Beatty, upon whom much
of the actual labor and disagree
