steam and electricity into an old
fashioned Dutch mill, owned by an
old-fashioned Hollander, Herr Hert~
ogenbosch. He also incidentally falls
in love with the miller's daughter,
Wilhelmina, who forgets Hans for
awhile, but in the end proves herself
to be a true daughter of Holland.
Did Bob Yankee succeed in his many
Inventions or did the old mill stand

REV. ~. ". WililAuba FhatOEJ
The debate at the young peoples
study class Tuesday night far ex-
ceeded all expectations. The young
speakers demonstrated their powers
of oratory, thought and ability OF
presentation. Ralph Beery and
Quincy Adams were the affirmative
and Miss Fay Whitlock took the neg
alive and although alone. thru the
illness OF Miss Lottie Gardiner. who
was to be her colleague, she lost to
her opponents with but the smallest
margin. It's doubtful II there is a
young man In the class who would
dare challenge Miss Fay single hand
ed. Each of the young people pre-
sented themselves. as well as their
respective subject. as prospective
leaders. Meridian needs to be justly
proud OF such an element.
The class will meet next Tuesday
night at the home OF Mr.. and Mrs.
William Johns, two blocks northeast
Of the church. All young folks are
cordially invited.

Now that the roads are wet again it
will be a good thing to drag them as
soon as they begin to dry. The best
time to drag a road is not while it is
wet and sloshy, nor when it is dry

when the mud is about as stiff as
dough. 1t is then plastic and the fine
dust or sediment being wet, forms a
hard surface very much like cement
which easily sheds the next rain
where the road is properly shaped up
and drained.
