about it to remind me of the voice of

do no driving away until I've had a look
at the animal"
Mr.. Bowser put on his hat and passed
out. The dog sat at the gate and was
getting ready for another howl. but
choked it of into a whine as the door
opened. AS no clubs were thrown or
cuss-words used he made bold to Jump
the fence and enter the yard. He was
long, lank. ill-used bobtailed dog. who
had evidently cut loose from home and
was freelancing around the country.
Mr.. Bowser was about to utter a yell
and scare the canine out Of a years
growth when Mrs. Bowser spoiled 1t all
by opening the door and demanding:
WELL why don't you drive him away.
or has he turned out to be an old friend

as the dog came trotting up the steps he
was ushered into the hall and through

It happened to be the cooks night on,
or there would have been a riot in the
the pantry for the dog, and when there
was nothing more to eat he returned to
the sitting room Mrs. Bowser came
down just then to say:

zeal.
A group Of suggestive thoughts
upon the topic is the following from
Amos B. Wells:
"Cur board Of foreign missions
enormously lengthens our arm, and
enables us to work at the same time
In many distant parts Of the earth.
His board Of home missions stands
at the right hand of every Christian
patriot, and does what he longs to do
for his dear country.
your UNCONVENTIONAL Sunday
school board enables you to pay your
debt for all the Sunday school has
meant to you.
'Your denominational publication
board spreads the truth for which
your denomination stands. If you be-
lieve it, you want others to believe it.
What banks and checks do for the
transmission of money and the spread
of commerce our denominational
boards do for the transmission of in
fluence and the promotion of the
Kings business.
You remember the fable of the
sticks that could be broken easily
when separate, but not at all when
tied together in a bundle Our de-
nominational boards tie us into a
bundle.
GAS a disease that will spread over
the entire body may start in very
small part of the body. SO an insignifi-
cant member of a denomination may
start a malady that will spread over
the entire body Of the churches.
"A country store may be managed
by one man. but big city department
store must have boards of managers
To object to UNCONVENTIONAL boards is
to wish for a very little denomina-
tfon.''

THE EAGLE PICNIC

The Eagles of Crystal Falls have en-
joyed many picnics and celebrations
in the past few years. but none more
enjoyable or appreciated by all pre-
sent than the picnic held at Fortune
lake last Sunday. This organization
enjoys an enviable reputation for
open-handed hospitality and not only
among It's friends. but the general
public as we'll and the local Aerle is
trying hard to keep pace with the
large number of prosperous and hust-
ling aeries throughout this broad land
OF America.
II was an old fashioned picnic. for
the grounds are not equipped and fur
nished as a first-class summer resort.
but everybody enjoyed themselves
Just the same-the base ball game. the
motor-boat races. swimming etc, etc,
served to pass the time pleasantly.
The busiest place on the grounds. as
is always the case with the Eagles.
was the refreshment booth, and the
children big and little kept the com,
mittee on the jump. serving Ice cream,
candy. peanuts, lemonade. lunch and
cigars from early morning, up till
the last minute. There was plenty for
all and no one seemed to be back
ward In coming forward. and asking
for what they wanted.
II was. as is always the case, an es-
sentially "Children's Day. for II is a
habit of Eagles TO look out for their
little "Eagletts' first and themselves

DEMONSTRATED ITS WORTH
City Fire Truck Made a Record Run
10 Poyseor Farm House

The city fire truck made a record
yesterday morning that amply DEM
onstrated it's worth to this community
when IL made record run to the
Poyseor farm house at Fortune Lake,
distanceof five miles.
Mr.. Poyseor says that he was at the
telephone waiting to know II the FIRE
chief would let the machine go out TO
his place when he looked out OF the
window and Il was there. The firemen
We're so taken up with their duties
that they didn't time the run but they
know Il was not over eight minutes
from the time the alarm came until
the truck was on the ground
Only the chemical was used as the
fire was confined to the chimney and
small portion of the roof Immediately
surrounding IT, Mr. Poyseor says that
the hremen demonstrated to his entire
satisfaction that they could have saved
his house even II the fire had been
very threatening one.
The fire originated in the chimney
and was so threatening that he de-
cided TO call for assistance. The sparks
set fire TO the roof of the house while
he was telephoning but the chemical
engine quenched them quickly II was
thought best not to attempt to quench
the fire in the chimney as the bricks
were too hot to pour water on them so,
after IL was apparent that no more
danger was imminent. the truck res
turned to the city.
Five or six auto loads OF citizens
hurried out TO the scene but their good
Offices we're not needed.

derstood that they thoroughly appre-
ciate the good will shown them.
