 Societies.

Minneapolis, May l9.-The North crn Baptist convention today en- powered commission to sit as a court ot equity for the adjudication of all differences between affiliated so- cieties and thus bring about more eff fective cooperation between Baptist organizations of the United States.
 The action was construed by many leading Baptists as movement which ultimately will evolve into union of the Northern Baptist convention and the Southern Baptist convention
 This commission, which will consist of II members, to be appointed, also will work out the details of the plans for consolidation of the missionary work of the American Baptist Pub fishing company and the American Home Mission society.
 Settlement of this question ended a controversy extended over score of years.

Little Rock, May 19.--If the number of automobiles in use is sign of prosperity. financial conditions in Arkansas could not be more favor able. At the beginning of the year State Highway Commissioner Owen bought 11,000 tags and even at that he considered taking % great risk But all except about j00 of these are gone, and he has sent in rush order for 1000 more, and is thinking that even that may not be sufficient On account of the advance in the price of sheet iron, the tags are costing about 9 per cent more than they did a few months ago.

A WEEKS CELEBRATION.
Descendants of Old Spanish Set
tiers Observed Christmas With
Dinners and Parties

Among the descendants of the
old Spanish settlers we find that
they observe a week in the cele-
bration of Christmas. This be-
gins one week before Christmas.
In the daytime they have din
ners at each others homes, and
in the evenings they give seri-
es of parties at the different
houses. In the evening the young
folk go to the home of one of
their number and knock, and
then all begin to sing. Those
within the house ask, "Who is
there?' and the answer is, ''The
Virgin Mary and St. Joseph seek
lodging in your house." To car
ry out the Bible story they are
at first refused admittance, and
then the door is opened wide
and they are all given a hearty
welcome.
On Christmas eve the old and
young all join together and have
a big celebration. In a large hall
they fix up one side to represent
the manger, and here they very
solemnly give a little play in
which many take part, the char
acters being Mary and Joseph,
the wise men, the shepherds and
the angels. This play is very
real to them, and they all play
their parts with a reverent spir-
Tx.
