Much interest was shown by the large number present at the first meeting of the Lathrop Memorial Fod- eign Missionar ysociety, held We'd gational chapel The devotional ser vice was led by the president. Miss Susan c. Hyde who gave inspiring reasons for increased interest in the meetings of the winter. Two pleas ing solos were rendered, Open My L. Potter. and, Have Thine Own, Way Lord, by Miss Bernice Underwood.
 The recital of experiences in China wish a description of one days work was full of interest. Chinese cos- tunes were worn by Mrs. E. H. Smith severe dress of a student; Eunice. the little girls school dress; and Mar garet tlJs gay baby's costume with it's bright embroidery; Miss Helen Avery wore the wedding dress of bright red in which 8 Chinese bride is and Eunice Smith recited a nursery rhyme in Chinese. The children have perfect command over the English language, yet they think and speak in Chinese more easily.
 Mrs. Smith told the story of one of their boys in the school who was taken off the streets and Is now making good in Foochow college. A tribute was paid to the wife of the pastor of Ing hok, who has a wonderful influence for good among the women. Another interesting character is @ preacher, who afterwards become a trusted monitor of the Ing-hok Boys school. That school has increased in numbers from 40 to 100 boys. Seven have been graduated as preachers and come back to us. Mrs. Smith said we are teaching English to the boys, they are so eager to learn it is a Joy to teach them and there is almost no disclipine.'
 The Chinese flag with its bands of colors was shown: red Chinese; yellow, Manchu: blue, Mongol; white, Turk estan; dark blue, Thibetan. Woman's wotk cannot be pressed, as travelling is so difficult, The woman's Sunday school in Ing-hok is doing much. The Bible woman makes calls all day her many times to visit special cas- es The dark. unattired homes, no air. no ray of light, it is no wonder the mortality is so great. n our par ish as large as Connecticut, do not know all my parishioners but every one of them knows me People still come to sec us but not in such throngs as during the first years. Still they come and we open the house. they listen to the victrola, see the baby organ, and the foreign ways of living. Most wonderful to them are the for eign children.

\ DREAM AND ITS INTERPRETA-
 TION,

In Dreanland I essayed to go Down through an orchard-Hanging
 low,
 A luscious pear, just overhead, l plucked and as I onward sped, A peach with red and downy cheek, Hung in my Dath-I did not speak But in my pocket with the pear. It safely found a lodgnent there. I closed the gate and onward strodeL Just as I came into the road, I strCve to find the peach or pear; Instead, a piece of apple there I found. and ate witf much content. Then l awoke! The dream was sent To teach me--so I instant thought That Fate, so far. had kindly brought Me partial recompense for work; And if my task I did not shlrk, The future had in store for me Still better fruits of husbandry.

SHAWNEE OUT FOR GOOD ROADS

The following from the Shawnee
News Herald may purnish good tiI
to Chickasha:
"Under the leadership of the Shaw
nee Auto club, the good roads enthu
siasts of Shawnee will start soon OF
the considerable undertaking of Sc
curing pledges of sufficient funds, tC
be paid monthly, to keep the good
roads work going until every road
leading into Shawnee is in first class
condition.
ut is pointed out that when visitors
come here and are taken over the city
on sightseeing trips, their pleasure
is spoiled when, in travelling to the
universities, that are subjected to the
humping and jolting that the usual
condition of these roads inflicts upon
them. 1t means much to Shawnee
say the good roads boosters, to put
these roads in proper condition, not to
mention the avenues of trade which
need immediate and constant atten
tion.
"a finance committee is being or
ganized to solicit the necessary
monthly subscriptions. 1t is believed
that $500 or 5000 per month can be
raised with little trouble. But why
not make it $1,000 per month? The
city could make no better investment
Of $4,000 a year than to put 1t into
good roads"

the Democrats of Oklahoma, speak
lg through resolutions adopted by
le state convention. The senator has
very reason to be proud of the com
lendation given to him by his fellow
democrats. The text of the resolu-
ons reads as follows:
I'VE desire to express in the strong
st terms, our great appreciation OF
le services of Senator Robert l..
wen, both to the state of Oklahoma
nd to the United States.
"The federal reserve act, of which
e was so largely the author and
aanager, is now fully appreciated not
My by the people of the United
tates, but by all the world, as one Of
le greatest constructive acts of legis-
ltion ever passed by any legislative
Ddy. and it is we'll known that our
resent and our future prosperity Is
argely based upon the financial and
ommercial stability brought about
trough this act.

ther recognized public services to the
ate and to the country, but above all,
l,r his constant and persistent efforts
improve the structure of govern

"His services have endeared him
ot only to the Democratic party, but
, citizens of all parties in the state

non the public records this evidence
/ our respect and affection for him,
nd commend him as man worthy

ly acquainted with the business of par
lament and of government that il
matters little what portfolio he is cast
for; he has considerable acquaintance
with the business Of all of them
This probably makes for, greater ef
ficiency than does our system of fill
ing the cabinet with amateurs. Very
often a man comes to the cabinet here
ignorant not only of his own depart
ment but of congress and of govern
ment in general.

study it as they would any other pro
fession. For any task you please, the

making a simultaneous debut.
Steadily and insidiously hooks and
snaps and buttons are sneaking to the

of all poor benedicts are due to turn
to thumbs for the summer months and

scratch from an obstreperous hook or
an obstinate button.
Although all their work is done be-
hind your back there is nothing retic-
ent or retiring about the buttons used
to hold your apparel together in the
rear.
In fact quite a feature is made of a
necessity, and the buttons, though gen
orally small, are of ornate shapes, de-
signs and colorings. Quaint little
round colored and white glass affairs
they are.
Others enameled in bright plaids or
