livered an grafton clarifying Wilson
and modern Democracy which cleo
trified his great audience. 1t was a
pean of triumph, ringing with the

After the invocation was delivered
the crowd shouted for a speech from
Bryan. Senator Thomas moved a
suspension of the rules and, al
though there were a few "noes," the
chairman declared that the "ayes'
predominated overwhelmingly.
As a committee headed by Senator
Kern of Indiana escorted MI. Bryan
to the speakers place, the floor and
galleries roared approval. Senator
James introduced Mr.. Bryan as zone
of the leading citizens of the worli
and Americas greatest Democrat"
The first phrases of the silver

ner as it should be, everything would
be properly kept.
In Mr.. Bowmar's Demonstration
of Organizing a 'Teenage Glass" he
emphasized the thought that the
class should be encouraged to under
take the work Of organization by
themselves, thus beginning the de-
velopment of initiative and self-reli-
ance.
The Boy Problem.
Rober Campbell, in his talk on
'The Dawn Of Character, said among
other things that we sometimes
speak of 1.-THE Boy Problem" as
though there were only one and
when it is solved everything will be
settled, but that in his opinion there
are as many problems as boys.
How to spiritualize the mental,
physical and social life of boys and
girls was the thought running
through the conference.
At the session of the Adult Depart
ment held at the Christian Church,
Mrs, Elon bearing gave a splendid
talk on "The Possibilities of the
Home Department" What the
Adult Glass Can Do to Help the
School and Church." was responded
to by Mrs. Frank Kellerhals, who
very kindly substituted for Mrs. Ed.
Mayhall. This is the true spirit of
service, and should be the practice of
every Sunday School worker. Com
munity Service for the Country" was
ably responded to by President G. NJ.
Fox. We were much disappointed In
not having Bro. Chas. Davault pres
ent to respond for the town on this
great subject.
"The Sunday School and Men" was
filled and well discussed by Bro. Ha-
mann, pastor of the Christian Church
of Martinsburg. The session was we'll
attended and we believe that empha-
sis has been placed on the work OF
the association, especially on the
Adult and Home Departments, and
we hope to see the report Of new
classes organized in both divisions
before our State meeting at Mexico.
Following the department sessions
the different committees reported

mended that the county and town

fore the State convention and thai

Official Report of The Fourth
Annual Sunday School Convention
BY MISS RUTH COOK, Secretary.

The Fourth Annual Sunday School
convention Of Audrain County was
held at Martinsburg June 5 and 6. 1t
rained from the first session to the
last. but delegates from twenty-six
Sunday Schools attended the conven-
ton. The bad weather prevented
from attending, but did not
dampen the ardor of those who braV-
ed the weather TO go.
They were well repaid for their eff
forts by Mrs. w. L. Reed in her talk
on Creating a Missionary Spirit"
She gave us many inspiring and
practical ideas on that vital topic.
The Rev. t. r. White in his Bible
study brought out many fine points.
Mr.. Bomar in his usual efficient way
showed how the Sunday School
teacher would lead lives into the
fullness."
The Rev. Mr.. Hamann opened the ev-
ening session with a scripture study
which gave everyone n better insight
into the Beatitudes. Mr.. Bowman
showed how each Sunday School is a
vital part of the Worlds Sunday
School Association. By giving examp-
les of the work accomplished by
many other Sunday School workers
he challenged Audrain to double the
standard she has already reached
and meet the Jubilee Goal by the
State Convention in Mexico, Nov. a.
1916.
Tuesday morning was still rainy
but the meeting began on time. The
Rev. st. Clair led the praise service
The Rev. H. B. Banks gave in a cleal
and careful way a splendid study o.
the first Epistle of Peter. J. P. Rowl
ison on the topic, Grading thu
School," emphasized the fact that an!
school can be graded whether larg'
or small. BY the use of the black
board, he made grading very clear
Mrs. Kellerhals and Mr.. Bowman
gave deeper insight into the power o
the teacher. They are teachers in
deed and they gave every Sunda.
School worker a vision of effectiv'
work.
The Tuesday afternoon session wa
full Of interest. J. B. DeVault led Il
the splendid praise service. Littl
, Miss Peyton sang a beautiful song.
MFR. Bowman presented pennants t
Sailing, Cuivre. Prairie as organize
J townships; Loutre and Wilson a
| banner townships; Salt River as
front line township. Mr.. Erisma
presented the budget of 1926 for tn
coming year and % Sunday School
S pledged $3.50. In addition to THU
v there we're many liberal persons
l pledges. The session was then divit
r ed into the three departmental COZ
%ferences.
Elementary Session.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1916-06-22
Elementary Session.

The elementary session Of the
convention was held at the Baptist
| Church, Tuesday afternoon. at three
D. m. Miss Josephine Wallace County
Elementary Superintendent presided
over the session.
Miss Anne Lewis, the efficient Cra-
die Roll Superintendent of the Mexico
Baptist Church gave q most interest
ing and helpful talk on "The Value
of a Cradle Roll. Miss Lewis showed
what a valuable asset the Cradle Roll
IL properly conducted, may be-not
only to the Sunday School but to the
mother and child as we'll. This
splendid address was further en-
phasized by the we'll selected sample
Of Cradle Roll material which Miss
Lewis displayed.
Miss Mittie Peck in her talk on
1.-THE Use of the Blackboard in Teach
ing" proved herself a skillful artist
as we'll as an instructive teacher.
Her we'll told Bible stories, cleverly
illustrated as they were told, by
blackboard sketches, were exceeding
ly helpful to all the teachers present
Miss Peck is one of the primary
teachers in the Christian Church a
Mexico, and her wide experience il
the blackboard method was clearly
shnwn In her talk.

Junior Department.

Mrs. norton MelSOn, BuperluIehu-
ent of the Junior Department in the
Mexico Methodist Church, had as her
subject, "Home Cooperation" THIS
important subject was handled in a
very clear and forceful manner by
Mrs. Nelson. She showed the griev-
GUS lack of the homes cooperation
with the Sunday School, and made a
plea such as only a devoted and con-
secrated Sunday School teacher
could make, for more interest, more
assistance. and more encouragement
on the part of parents whose little
ones are in Sunday School.
Miss Margaret Pryor, who is both
a day and a Sunday school teacher,
and who has a keen insight into child
nature, spoke on 'The Value of Grad.
ed Lessons. Miss Pryor presented the
arguments for the graded system SC
clearly and logically that no n al
the end of her talk could possibly
have doubted the value and the ex-
pediency of graded instruction. 1t is
Just such teachers as Miss Pryor that
the Sunday School needs.
This profitable conference was
brought to a close by an informal dis
cusison as to ways and means of Sc,
curing better equipment for Dull Sun
day schools.
The Secondary or Teenage Confer.
ence-Miss Paterson presiding-was
held in the Hall.
This was a very interesting con-
terence dealing with teen age life
and the Sunday School,
Miss Ellen Carter's talk on "Teen'
age Life was full Of valuable
thoughts.
Linking Up the Activities of the
Pupil with the Sunday School," was
the subject of a talk by Mrs. Clyde
Shoup. She and her class have secur'
ed the use of a small cottage which
they are fitting up for week day &C
tivities of various kinds.
In her interesting paper, 1.-THE In
: ~fluence of Home On the "Teenage Pu'
pill" Mrs. Paul st. Vrain gave SOM
practical ideas which we wish al
! mothers-and fathers-could have
lheard.

time we see her" we both decided,
and so it came about that the next
time Miss Dolly passed US in the
lobby of a theater, frozen glances
were shot from eyes to eyes.
Perhaps 1t is a Hungarian Gus
tom" mother apologized for little
Miss Dolly. And Understanding in
back of US, overhearing all we were
saying-was Miss Yansci!
Come" she said, calling over her
sister, the one to whom had lust
been directed our scornful glances.
Il want you to meet my sister, Ro-
Ska. l have told her of you so often
and she has been very anxious to
meet you"
The confusing, continental and
temperamental story was out-they
were twins and looked so much alike
that even to this day think in all
fairness to their friends they should
tag themselves Miss Rosika or Miss
Yanscil
Both Of the girls are starring now
in a new fall production on Broad
way, His Wedding Night" and YOU
can imagine the bridegroom's hu-
.morous complications with twins

Did you see a runaway horse?" asked
Puss politely.
The man stopped short and looked at
Puss. Presently he made reply:
i did, indeed, my good sir. He went
by but few moments ago. There were
many fairies on his back and a large
number in pursuit. In fact, l thought at
first l must be dreaming; yet l remem-
Der once before in my life seeing a swarm
of fairies, if l might use that word; they
came from yonder forest in hot pursuit
Of a bold robber who had waylaid some
traveller on his journey"
THANK YOU" said Puss, Il must catch
up with them, for the horse belongs
to me. ami I must get him back. A
bicycle is a poor substitute for a horse,
l assure you"
Yes. l should think So" replied the
Hobble, Hobble, HobDie Man. But how
are you going to catch them? Those
forest fays are mischievous, and IL they
urge on your good gray horse. you will
need to pedal fast and furiously to over
take them"
Never fear" replied Puss stoutly, Il
have a good pair of legs, and 1 shall
make the wheels fly. Goodby!'
And our small hero was off again. Up
and up the hhl he forced his bicycle
and on reaching the top was delighted
to see going down the other side his good
gray horse
Here's where I overtake them cried
Puss. grasping the handle bars tightly
and placing his feet on the coasters. my
bicycle can go down hill faster than
any horse. It will be but a few moments
now until 1 am again astrde Of my
faithful steed."
The dust flew out behind him as he
coasted swiftly down the hill Ting-a-
ling, ting-a-ling! went his bell. Nearer
and nearer he came. "Git-ap!" cried the
fairies, but the good gray horse was
tired "Whoar' cried Puss. "Gid-apw
screamed the fairies. Closer came Puss.
He was now alongside of his good gray
horse. Standing up on the bicycle he
waited his opportunity and with a well
directed jump landed safely on the
saddle of his good gray horse. As he
did so the fairies, with a scream of dis
may, flew of and away, and our small
hero was once more safely astride of his
good horse.

Autumn Jams.
By FRANCES MARSHALL.

Jam Is an economy. It is not expen-
sfve to make, for one thing, and can
often be made to utilize waste pulp from
Jelly. And 1t is an economy in itself, for
with It many cheap desserts can be pre-
pared IN winter. Moreover, It is nourish-
ing.
French toast, made of dry bread
soaked IN milk and beaten egg and
fried brown, spread with jam, Is a de-
lightful luncheon dish. For children old
enough to eat Jam, with all its Seeds
toast Of the ordinary sort, spread with
jam, Is good. Jam sandwiches and jam
tarts are delicious, too, and a layer of
jam under the maringue turns a plain
jam is under the meringue turns a plain
bread pudding into dainty.
If you wish to use some Of the pulp
left after Jelly has drained OF, add 1t,
without, of course. squeezing out the
Juice, to fresh pulp. Only use about
half pulp from jelly. By utilizing this
pulp you can use only the cIearest drip
ped Juice for the jelly and yet not feel
extravagant.
1t js too late, of course, to make the
berry jams. But there are still many
good jams to make. Marmalades and
fruit buffers, too, are grouped under the
heading Of jam.
Apple Jam is one of the late jams to
and weigh them. Allow an equal weight
of brown sugar, and make It into a
syrup with a very little water Chop the
apples and add, with the grated peel of
a lemon for each pound of apples, to the
syrup. Simmer until the apples are
transparent.
Peach jam is made by using a pound
of sugar to a pound of fruit, which is
pared and stoned. Cook until very
thick, simmering slowly. Pack in jars
and cover with brandy, then seal thor
oughly.
Ounce and crabapple jam is made in
this way: Use equal parts of the two
fruits. Slice the fruits and simmer with
A little water until tender. Then press
through a sieve. Allow a pound and a
quarter Of sugar to each pound Of pulp
and simmer, stirring often, until very
thick
Grape jam, ounce marmalade, wild
grape jam and plum jam are other kinds
that can yet be made.
