services on Sunday morning.
Mr. Richmond, however, does not pro.
pose to permit Mr. Huff to take charge
at the church, and intends to preach both
in the morning and evening. When he
was told of the plans for Mr., Huff to be
at the church Sunday morning, he laughed
heartily and said:
Poor Mr. HUFF! So he's coming back
Well, you know what happened last June.
If he wants to come to the church. let
him come, but he won't preach Let him
play the Bishops fool If he wants to
come.

prevent me from preaching would be to

shoot me down, too!'
The letter sent to Bishop Rhinelander
was addressed to "Mr. p. M. Rhinelander
Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal
Denomination in Philadelphia and Chap.

In the letter he informed the Bishop
that "inasmuch as cannot recognize your
moral authority or even your ecclesiastical
right to sentence me to n years suspension
from the priesthood-which you are doing
at this moment-I shall not present my
self before you in answer to your sum

astical farce were it not n moral outrage
For months you have conspircd
against st. Johns parish and have tried
every possible way to injure my work"
Mr.. Richmond continues his attack on
the Bishop by telling him that he was
afraid to appear before the chancellor in
open court at the recent trial of the
minister.
you were afraid to face the court" he
continues, land hence, by intimation the

From Eggs To

Perhaps one of the most useful if
not the most beautiful booths at the

mainly TO explain the possibilities of

ally, az a sub postal station which

thing from eggs 10 plOws." said Mr..
Smoke, and Wen get 'em there.
There seems TO be widespread mis-
understanding about the kinds of
things that can he sent through the

almost nothing that can't be. OF
course "A pillow couldn't be shipped

Saves y. ID. Big Loss.
In more ways than one the asso-
citation has been the means of in
creasing the profits of its members
through the services of Mr. Roberts,
their expert tester. He was able to
save one member a big loss monthly
occasiOned by an incorrect adjust
ment of his separator and the butter
yield at the University of NOtre
Dame was increased from soc
pounds per month TO $50. the un-
necessary loss of 30 pounds pei
month having been due TO the fact
that the operators had been filling
the churns too full and turning them
too fast

to such AN extent and has such a
long waiting list that second one
