That Many Delegates Had to
Leave on Early Train.

by Mr.. Bryce Binnall. Miss AL
ma Wright spoke on the subject, Con
querors for Christ" and Rev. ]. H.
Findley on the theme, ".On the Firing
Line" All the addresses were very
interesting and helpful and greatly
appreciated. A number of selections
from the Denison and Dow City quar-
tets proved to be, very charming
feature OF the conference. At the
close of the. afternoon program the
congregation was taken to the dining
room, where most bounteous supper
was served to some eighty guests.
1t was not possible to carry out the
evening program as had been planned.
due to the fact that many of the dele.
gates We're compelled to return on an
early train. A very pleasant and
profitable time was enjoyed by those
who remained. Addresses were given
by the district president. Rev. q. E.
Mangun. and Rev. j. II. Findley, with
special music by the Denison quartet.
The conference far exceeded the ex-
pectatiOn of those who had planned for
the event. Among the promising feat
ures was the development Of gospel
teams aud reports Of work done by
these teams. The Epworth League of
Dow City has rendered an invitation
to the different leagues on the Chicago
4 Northwestern railroad to picnic
that will be given Decoration day.
The Dunlap Epworthians proved
themselves to be royal entertainers in
every respect and all present cherish
the time when it will be possible that
they may have the invitation to come
back again.

MEETING
AT BUCK GROVE
Men Met, With Mr.. Fred

NOT ANGRY; JUST INDIGNANT
Committee Of Five Appointed to At.
tend Meeting in Denison Satur-
day-Many Use Toll Line.

Buck Grove, March 12-Yesterday
afternoon forty-two men met in the
town hall. and with Mr.. Fred Beans
acting as chairman and l.. c. Asmussen
as secretary, discussed the telephone
situation. There was some talk and
those present thought they were pay
ing enough, especially considering the
very poor service they had had for q
long time past.
One man called attention to the
statement of the company that their
common stock had not paid any divi
dends for long time. But not a
word was said about the preferred
Stock" he said.
The chairman said there did not
seem to be any objection to paying six
months in advance. il we get the serv.
ice. I'VE pay for our newspapers. in
surance, etc, in that way" he said.
A call for q standing vote was matte
on the proposition that they would ab
sOlutely refuse to pay more. Every
man stood up.
The chairman read an ultimatum
bearing siXty.two signatures OF farm
ers. ordering out phones if the demand
for raise was persisted in.
A motion was made and carried that
a demand be made for switchboard
in Buck Grove, but this was rescinded
and in case an agreement was reached
it was agreed to make demand for u
line to Denison from Buck Grove via
Arion. and that there be no party
phones on it.
A motion was carried that COM
nsittee of five be appointed by this
meeting to take the signed ultimatum
to Denison, meet with other snbscrib
ers Saturday and report Monday at
ternOon. March 18th.
There probably has never been q
meeting in this township attended by
SO many determined men, and all ol
them farmers who own their land
They could buy this telephone line q
hundred times over and not miss the
money.
The. farmers are not angry: merely
indignant. "

BEDROOM SLIPPERS OF LINEN
Have Many Advantages, Chief of
Which Is That They Are So
Easily Cleaned.

The new idea in bedroom slippers is
to make them of linen. These are
decidedly comfortable on the feet,
wear well, and can be washed easily.
They can be made from plain or
embroidered linen, just little heav-
Ter than you would use for doilies or
center pieces. Buttonhole around the
top in small scallop, and make eye
lets in which to run narrow ribbon.
They are very pretty made up of
embroidery four inches wide and with
a well-covered edge as well as an
open one through which the ribbon
can run. When soiled they can be re-
moved from the sole, laundered and re-
placed with little trouble. 1t is well
to keep fresh pair always on hand.
This suggests pleasant winter work
for summer wear, when we feel that
we can spare little time from our
knitting and garment making for the
good cause.

has been more than one decade since

first empire influence.
Some of these sleeves are straight,
extending half way to the elbow and
finished there with a stiff turn over

sleeve which women do not Ike, and
