much" answered Sammie politely.
So the little black doggie walked
on his hind legs, and then he walked
on his front legs. Next, he played
dead, and Sammie was quite fright
ened, until with bark the doggie
jumped up and turned three back
somersaults. one after the other, just
as easy as you can upset the salt
cellar. After that he made believe to
say his prayers, and rolled over and
sneezed like any boy or girl, it was

Sammie told his papa and mamma

| The meeting was called as result OF
several months of effort on the part
of Rev. Mr.. Ogle of Coal Valley, VINO
! first advanced the idea. The meeting
was called at this time because OF the
opportunity afforded for some social
center, just as the saloons have gone
out of existence.
Expectation is that the town hall
will be used for association activities
for the present, although hope is to
ultimately secure a building which
can be used exclusively for Y. NJ c. A.
purposes. The project is also to be a
community one, and the quarters are
to be used as a social center for the
farmers living within radius OF flve
miles of Coal Valley.
To Open Campaign.
A campaign will be started at once
to secure the association and it is
thought that an organization can be
effected within six weeks. The Moline
association will supervise the Coal

Addresses delivered by the Moline
officials were of the general good to
