COMMITTEES ON
WAYS AND MEANS

It was the committees on ways
and means that labored so long and
diligently for the new church and
there were no happier people at the
dedication Sunday than those who
have devoted their time, energy
and thought to this splendid work.
The committees were as follows:
BuiIdlng-Dr. Joseph Wenger,
chairman, e. r. Bennett, w. M. Ear
lywlne, G. e. Henwood and T. ].
Morford.
Flnance-Rev. J. A. Long, chair
man, c. N. Barber j. r. Clutter,
secretary, S. M. Green, G. w. Nc
Nabb, treasurer, Ellis Veatch, c..
G. Weaver.
Assistants-Mrs. Ira Atwood,
Mrs. S. M. Green, Mrs. A. q. VIII
liams, Miss Laura Veatch, F. A.
Cole, C. w. Mckee, p. A. Berry, J.
q. Sellers, William Welsh, J. A.
achaeffer, Erret Weneer, collector.
The architect of the building was
A. A. Honeywell of kokomo, Ind,
while the builder was Walter M.
EarIywine Of Mt. Vernon.

raised in subscriptions and, with
balance of $4,000 yet to obtain, the
building committee offered the assur-
ance that this amount would be sub
scribed so that, after Rev. Snivelys
sermon on Immortality it was with
real pleasure that the services started.
DR.. Joseph Wenger, in a few short
remarks as chairman of the building
committee, presented to G. G. Weaver
chairman of the board of trustees, the
KEYS of the building. These were ac-
cepted by Chairman Weaver in an APP
propriate speech. The solemn dedica-
ton vows were then taken by the con-
gregation. Rev. ]. A. Long repeated
the first section, the congregation, led
by the trustees, the second and so on.
A benediction by Rev. Long, teeming
with prayers for the future success of
the church, closed a day which will be
long remembered by all who attended.
The choir, Mrs. Grover G. Carpen-
ter's playing of the organ and the solo
and duet work of George Kelly, George
Mitchell and Norman Turner featured
the musical program.
The following was the program of
the day:
Bible School $50

COUNTY FAIR
WILL BE HELD AT HlAWATHA
PARK = EDUCATIONAL CON-
TESTS WILL BE FEATURE
THIS YEAR..

The Knox county fair will again be
held at Lake Hiawatha park this year.
H. c. Gates, secretary of the Knox
County Agricultural society closed a
deal Saturday morning with DR.. j. A.
Root, the new owner of the park,
which gives the society the privilege
to hold the fair at the park this year.
Mr.. Gates stated Saturday that the
prospects for the Knox county, fair
this year were brighter than ever be-
fore, 1t had been planned to hold a
stock-judging contest at the fair this
year, but this plan had to be aban-
doned because of the fact that the
stock-judging clubs which were re-
quired to be established in the coun-
ties where these contests are held
had not been formed.
However, it is planned to use the
money that was available for this
contest in connection with the educa-
tional department and offer more
prizes. Mr.. Gates is already making
arrangements to have this done.
"The best ever this year" was his pre-
diction Saturday.

With all Indebtedness wiped out by
self-sacrificing and generous sub
scriptions, the beautiful new Church
OF Christ was formally dedicated
Sunday in the presence of three mon
ster congregations which assembled
from all parts of Knox and adjoining
counties to join in the services of the
day and offer their devotions and
thanks to God for the splendid new
house of worship in this community.

The new church is the last word in
modernity, even to the slightest detail.
Its exterior dimensions are rs by 1913
feet. A handsome pressed brick has
been utilized in the construction of all
outside masonry, while solid stone sur
mounts the windows and the door
ways. These latter are slight Gothic
variation with a stone tracery of the
early English period of architecture.
Th roof is of gray slate. The inter-
ior walls and ceilings have been fres-
coed, while oak and southern pine
with an oil finish have been used, max
ing the woodwork extremely attrac-
tive. Loaded art glass appears in all
windows. In the smaller, this is of
formal design, while the larger betake
more of the religious character of the
structure.
The big feature of the first floor plan
is the utilization of all possible space
in case it is necessary to seat mon
ster congregation. 1t will be noted
from the good arrangement of this
floor that the church, Sunday school
assembly and class room are all sep
arate unto themselves. However, by
an ingenious arrangement of mechan-
ically-operated partitions, the entire
first floor can be converted into one
single room. These lifting partitions
make this possible. In addressing an
ordinary-sized congregation, the pastor
stands in the back-center of the room
with the partitions down. If there is
a crowd OF unusual size, such as Sun
days gathering, and it becomes nee
eseary to open up all partitions, he
moves around to the right and again
occupies a central position, where it is
| possible for him to be seen and heard
from any place, either in the first floor
or balcony.
On the first floor, the auditorium
measures Sc by SO feet and has a seat
ing capacity of 450 people. The floor
is bowled so that there is no need for
straining of necks. The members of
the choir together with the organist,
occupy IN allotted space, roomy and
commanding view of the congrega-
tion. The main Sunday school room
will accommodate 175. the primary
room $50, the choir 40 and the class
rooms 1856. In addition to these, there
are, on the first floor, the baptistry and
robing rooms, There is an immense
advantage in the arrangement of the
Sunday school and class rooms.
The balcony floor contains the
church balcony with a seating capacity
of $50. Seats here are as desirable as
those downstairs. Eight class rooms
in this section of the building will &C
commodate $50 more people Thus, by
extra chairs, over 1900 people can be
seated in good sight and hearing of the
speaker Accordingly, the Vine Street
Church of Christ represents the larg'
est auditorium in the city of Mt. Yer
non and in this respect approaches
some of the most commodious church
es and halls in Columbus.
The basement has been built pur
posely high and has been provided with
excellent illumination. In this. there
is a large dining-room, an entertain
ment room, kitchen, ladies' parlor
toilet rooms and boiler rooms. These
rooms are so constructed that they
can be easily converted so as to be

Methodist and Norwegian Lutheran
Edifices Entered Sunday Night
and Rurularized.


One of the most unheard of things
occurred Sunday night or early Mon
day morning when the Methodist and
Norwegian Lutheran churches were
broken into and general havoc made
with desks and repositories of sup.
plies. The tracks leading from the
churches would imply that there were
two persons implicated in the crime.
From evidence at hand they first Wis
tied the M. E. church having gained
entrance through window in the
basement. Here they ransacked some
but found nothing of value in the
kitchen. From here they took three
table forks and went up stairs to the
library. Here they evidently used the
forks in prying open a roll top desk
in search Of what they didn't get
money. But they scattered the pa
pers and documents of different kinds
over the room. Then they broke open
the doors in the pulpits but found
nothing to their liking.
From there they went to the Nor.
wegian Lutheran church, tore a screen
or a basement window, broke glass
in the window in this way reaching
the catch and raising the window and
went in. After going through the same
performance, worse than at the other
church, they found an ak in the coal
bin and with this broke a panel out
Of door leading to the auditorium
up stairs. Here they committed more
depredations and found a box contain
ing dollar or more of pennies and
nickels which they took. They then
sprung the latch and went out the
back door.
Rev. G. Open happened to be
awake in the early hours of the morn
ing and heard some pounding but
having screen door on the porch
that makes a noise when blown by the
wind thought it was that. If he had
only thought of trouble at the church
he might have caught the parties red
handed in the act.-Renville Star

The paths of ease are only

Don't think that you can ride to
fame upon a jitney bus. The
other fellows job looks soft and
just the kind you'd like, but try
it out and you will find that you
must hit the pike. And If you're
not there with the push and en-
ergy galore, you're nothing but
a piker, piking for the other
shore. The world has use for
men who work and needs them
every one, but nature prods the
bubble and puts pikers on the
run. The elevator going down
is loaded with the guys who
white dry goods boxes and
build castles in the skies. Some
men will sit as though spiked
down and spin their tales of woe.
While others with the wander
lust are always on the go Thus
discomfort takes different forms,
but brings the same result. It

US all turn on the light and
watch ourselves go by. and got
a line on what we are and know
the reason why. It matters not
what stage we've reached,
there's always room to grow. So
do not be a piker, Just be care
