IVY no is there among US who can
WV not recall those occasions
when in our Sunday best

perienced the wondrous glory Of mat

pleasure, the playerfolk, were to US be-

but creatures who lived ever a marvel

Then, as We progressed in years, we
met those same playerfoik and their
children, quite like us and most often
a jolly good sort We felt not only
sense Of kinship, but also Of gratitude
for the happy hours they had given us
and real sorrow when poverty-stricken
old age came upon them.
So ii was with this feeling that in
1890 a home was planned, a subscrip-
ton list opened benefits we're given,

A LIVELY WEEK
AT LAKEWOOD
There Is Snow and Rain, but
There Are Also Card Parties
and Dancing.

Lakewood, y. j., Jan. 90 Despite
the rain and snow, the week has been
a lively one for the hotels, which are
row having the best business that they
have had i'm years. There is no doubt
that at the opening of the new year
the resort started on one Of the most
successful years il has ever had.
Usually the present time is the slowest
iotels experience, but since the hoh-
days there has been a constant stream
of sojourners coming in which VIII
bring the business far above the aver
age. Every one is pleased and opti-
mistic over the outlook for the rest of
the year, and the calamity bowler
would grow lonesome if he dwelt here.
Weather conditions confined SO
journers' activity entirely indoors the
greater part of the week. The time was
plessingly passed, however, with small
dinner and card parties and dancing
at the Laurel-in-the-Pine and Laurel
House. On Wednesday evening the re-
sort got its first touch Of real winter.
Snow began falling early and continued
all night. Early Thursday morning the
tinkling OF sleigh bells further accent
uated the winter setting, but sojourn-
crs were cheated out of their much
cherished sleighing parties by sudden
rise in the temperature, which com
pletely ourtailed the winter sport.

PROSPEROUS. YEAR
 FOR LOCAL ""
Less Than $50 in Pledges Will Re Uncollected by
 End of Year.

For the first tima in the history of the Pine Bluff Young Mans Chris tian association, the organization has just completed {. year in which it's )receipts wera sufficiently large to meet all the current obligations, and in addition to this, the organization has cleared up $ considerable num- Der of old debts, aggre gating quite a large amount. [
 The fiscal year of the local organi- zaeion extends frcm November 1 to October 31. and the records for the year just closd make the most fav- orable showing of any in the associa- tion's history. The formal port of the years work is now in prepara tion by the officers of the establish mant.
 What is considered the most favor able feature of the years work is tn fact that Of the pledges for some thing like $5,00O, by local men and women, all have been collected sX cept s435. Of the pledges in this amouns not yet paid about $25o Is not due until next month, and g number are due during November Less than $15O of the pledges at the very worst will remain unpaid when the year 1915 ends. which is a most satisfactory showing, even record breaker. especially when it is under stood that almost all of this amount became uncollectible because of un- expected changes in the financial condition of those who made the y,1f of cin pth hp, unfortunate circumstances.
 The membership of the association Is large, and still growing. The at tendance in all departments has higher average than ever before, and every department of the association Is progressing at more rapid rate than ever in the past. The Boys de- pertinent, new feature, is rapidly taking rank as one of the most active of all the associations many issues and enterprises, and has created re- newed interest on the part of the old bcy members, as WI Il as it has brought in many new boy members.
 The officers of the association are financial campaign of the associa tion, which will be held during Janu- ary The near approach of the holi- days has caused the association of ficials to decide not to hold the cam pa!gn until after the opening of the new year. and efforts are now being made to bring ito this city as the leader in the campaign worker of more than ordinary prominence in association fields. and who is very widely known to Young Mems Chris tian association leaders. and church. men generally, in the entire country

NEED OF RURAL CREDITS.
Progressive Young Dairyman Cited as
 Victim of Poor System.

Little Rock. Nov. 13.--Commission- CT John H. Page has received let ter from young Arkansas farmer, from which the following extract is taken:
 we are young people and less than three years ago went into the dairy business for ourselves, and aft CT much painstaking and costly work we have built up the best milking herd of nearly 20 cows in the coun- ty. We are one mile from twon, have a large barn. good silo. and neat home. We would like some financial assistance. We seem to be able to secure plenty of money from the To- cal banks, but on short time and at ten per cent interest. Could you as- sist me in securing $250 on Dng time and low rate of interest, with the privilege of paying back at uny time? We have note of $125, given for stock, which we can pay, but if we can borrow $250 we would use part of it to pay this note, and use that amount to expand our business
 This is cited by Commissioner Page as proof of the. great necessi- ty of some adequate system of rural credits, a question which is now of coordinate importance with that of diversification which is beinng ac- complished

a sister of John R. Vim, Eugene

,portance is the local telephone call.
Perhaps it would be first il its cost
permitted it's use by all the people.
In countries having postal tele-
phones the rate averages about a
cent a call, or half the letter rates,
while in our cities the rates run
from S to 10 cents a call. We rank
highest but two among 81 nations in
the rates paid.
"The fiat, or unlimited rate in
Christiana, Norway, is $21.44 year
as against Seattle, about the same
population, $50 a year; Berlin,
s43.2o, as against Manhattan 1905;
London is $82.79, as against San
Francisco, $3.50. 1t seems a duty to
say that these telegraph and tele-
phone rates are the scandal of pub
lie service rates the world over, and
only to be compared with the. ex-
press rates before the advent of the
