Church Women VIII Have q
Booth at the Fair.
Train Leaves Passenger Watt
ing ON Station Platform.

The ladies of the Christian church
plan to have an eating booth at the
state fair. They have already made ar
rangements for their tent space. They
plan to have a cafeteria that will seat
perhaps fifty persons. Last year they
accommodated thirty at a time. The
ladies' union of the church conducts
the booth and in past years 1t has al
ways scored a success financially.
The ladies of the Baptist church in
tended to conduct a similar establish
ment, but because of the excessive
heat and the fact that several of the
most active workers are not well and
still others are away. they. have aban-
doned the plan. Instead they have
agreed that during the month of Au-
gust every woman in the church will
either save dollar by denying herself
something that she wishes to buy, or
will earn it in some manner. This
money will go toward the fund that
the Ladies' Aid society raises every
year and will go for church purposes.

point The fresh morning air. had
stimulated in q healthy appetite a
craving for an ice cream soda. When
the train drew up at the station the
hungry one alighted and sought drug
store. The joys of the soda distract
ed his attention from the passage of
time and when he emerged from the
store the train had departed. The
darnad old thine ~t<t az
took my suit case with it," murmured
the said one and he sighed
