Leap Year Picnic.

A real leap year picnic was enjoyed
by a bunch of young folks in Lithia
Park Wednesday. The hour sched-
uled for the event was 6:90, but, as
usual, most of them did not arrive on
time and they began to eat at about
1850. OF course, some of this time
was taken up by the cooking of the
"wienies" and the boiling of coffee.
The cooking was done in the kitchen
at the auto camp grounds. The "me-
and-you" (according to the waitress
in the road house in "The Making
Over Of Mrs. Matt") consisted of
"wienies," sandwiches, coffee, salad,
olives, cake, napkins, paper table
cloths, and most every picnic acces-
sorry. Harry Reigel was the chief
cook. Gas it was leap year party
the boys performed the culinary du-
ties.) The results of his labors were
that the "wienies" were fine, but
the coffee-well, We will not say
much about tits hue was much too
black and its SAVIOR very much too
strong for the average person. One
of the first stunts connected with the
setting of the table was the spilling
of the salad on the shoulder of Mer-
rill Thrones coat. However when 1t
was scraped off nicely into plate
none OF the girls knew that 1t mas
been anywhere but in the carton IN
which it came. After much excite
ment the table was finally set and an
inroad made on the provender there
displayed that threatened to da away
with the food, tablecloth, table and
all. Haste was the password, as 1t
was only few minutes until time for
the band concert. When all the stray
crumbs were consumed the bunch ad-
journed to the vicinity of the band
stand. After the concert The Bun
galow was honored by their presence
until about II. Then the night air
calling them, they took walk up
into the park and then-home. 1t
was probably the best party OF It's
kind to be staged here for quite a

The Tuxedo Hour.
by Walt Mason

Tuxedo's bully all the time; it makes the passing
hours sublime and by its soft and gracious it
soothes the soul and rests the nerves, and fills my
bosom. once again, with peace on earth, good will
to men. But best like it when I've fed this face of
mine with jam and bread When have dined on Irish
stew and beans and boiled potatoes, too, and pie
and eggs and cheese and tripe, It's then best enjoy
my pipe When from the table withdraw, grip
my briar with my jaw, and fill it with Tuxedo mild
= the pure Tuxedo unde6led and smoke away in
perfect bliss no pleasure can compare with this.
And in the curling smoke see world that seemeth
good to me. A world that's debonair and gay, its
woes and worries done away The plans that seemed
foredoomed to fail. the work that seemed Of no avail
now wear the rosy glow Of hope and endorse all
sunshine dope 'Iis thus in my Tuxedo hour; the
world that seemed SO dark and dour is blooming like
rose Of spring, and I'm in mood to laugh and sing.

The Fallacy of Paraffine
Base: Eastern oil manufac-
turers have long extolled
the superior virtues of paraffine-
base motor oils. But Pacific Coast
motorists have proved that Zero
lene, made from selected CaIifor-
MA crude, asphalt base, gave best
results. Their experience is now
supported by the testimony of in
ternational experts. Lieut.. Bryan
stated beforethe Am. Soc. of Naval
Engineers: "OilS made from the
aSphalt-base crudes have shown themselves better
adapted to motor cylinders, as far as their carbon
forming procliviteS are concerned than are paraf-
fine base Pennsylvania oils" Zerolene received
highest competitive awards, San Francisco and San
Diego Exposons. Dealers everywhere and at service
stations and agencies of the Standard Oil Company.

To Methodists of McCrory

In studying the conditions of

bounds of the Helena district |
find a church building revival
greatly in need. Our work is

| am glad to say that other
communities are planning greater
things for 1916 and | have great
faith in the people of McCrory.
In 1915 your church led the en-
tire district in promptness in all
material lines.
The year 1916 draws upon us
with much more favorable con-
ditions. May I ask that again
you take the lead in financial
matters and lead off by erecting
a new church? I know of no
place in the district where a new
church building would add more
to the general needs of a COM
munity than at your place. We
have sent you a man whose heart
is in his work, but his work is
hampered for want of room to do
business for his Lord and your
Christ. / have carefully studied
plans and have in mind a plan
suggested by our Church Exten-
sion board that can be built and
equipped for $4,000. to $12,O
that would give your people ac-
commodations for years to come.
We are building at West Helena
and will build at Forrest City and
at Hughes, but want the peo-
pie of McCrory to set the pace
and do the work on the same
basis as you have been carrying
on your Church matters.

Rev. Sam M. Yancey,
McCrory, Ark.
Dear Brother:
am thinking of the great and
growing needs of Methodism in
the bounds of the Helena district
and am giving myself unstinting-
ly to the work.
see many needs but | see of
no need that would add more to
the general, all round demands
of the church than a general re-
vival on church building. We
are crippled at every turn in so
many places for want of adequate
quarters for our people. Shall
we have less moral, spiritual and
Church pride than we have in
the material demands of COM
merce? Shall we take less inter-
est in housing Gods people than
we do in housing our families and
our merchandise?
Our people are waking up to
the demands of our Church life
as never before. At West Hele-
ma they will build at once, at
Forrest City they are planning
TOR larger and more comfortable
quarters for the worship of Al
mighty God. At Hughes | left
a good start on subscription for
a church building. At one other
place they are planning for new
church, and others are on the
me Tor more adequate quarters.
we are expecting McCrory to
lead off and set the pace on a
cash independent basis as the
good people there have done in
the past. Your people worked
