! "Get-together" luncheon.

a "Get-together' luncheon. Sunday
proved to be a red-letter day for the
workers in that city. The afternoon
institute was well attended, but the
union service at night was one long
to be remembered. Most of the
churches gave way. and all attended
en- masse. The great Methodist church
was crowded, and the meeting was
full of inspiration. All workers of
the churches were benefited, and in
three days was accomplished for the
eight churches what it would have
taken "a days to have accomplished
for the eight churches if each had
held separate meetings.
The same was true of the enthusiast
tic rally held at Chipley on the 18th
and 18th. Here the three churches
united for big meeting. and the Bap-
list church was crowded at all the
sessions. So we'll was the work
thought of that the school board per-
mitted every pupil wishing to attend
the institute to do SO. and to re-
ceive credit for their regular studies
Hundreds of the pupils awaited them
selves of this privilege, while visitors
from miles around the town came in
to the meeting, which was conduct
ed by General Secretary Weidler
Everybody was welcome to its ses
sions, and the result was that every
Ibody came and a city-wide stimulus
was given to the work which had ne~
: er been had before.

Do you know how roast pig came
to be? Maybe roast pig and Sunday
school work seem not to have much
in common, but the method of doing
things has. and that is what this story
has to tell
Long ago the people of China kept
pigs in their homes as pets. One time
| a house burned, and later the owner
was searching in the ashes for valua-
bles. He stuck his finger down into
the debris and ashes, and suddenly
penetrated something very hot. He
pulled out his finger and put it into
his mouth. 1t tasted good. 1t was
roast pig, and ever after, when they
wanted roast pig they burned a
complished by less expenditure OF
time, energy and property. So there
seems to be many ways of doing
things. and all the business and mer
camille world bend their energies to
ward eliminating loss of time and
money.
: In the Sunday school world thi:
| principle ought, pre-eminently, to ap
ply. Lost time, energy or the comin|
in of friction ought to be CAREFUL,
J looked after This is the purpose o
the Florida Sunday school associa

In other words, the best methods an

FOUR ACCEPTED
FOR 0RPET JURY
Third of Number of Jurors Needed
are Sworn in After Week Spent
in Examining Veniremen.

Waukegan, Ill, May 20.-The first
panel of four jurors Of the II men
who will try Will H. Orpet, the coll
lege boy accused of numbering his for
mer sweetheart, Marian Lambert, was
sworn in today after week spent in
examination of veniremen.
The four who have met the approx
al of counsel for the state and the de-
Tense are: Len Bartell, iceman, of
Antioch: G. A. Thompson, farmer of
Newport; H. F. King, farmer of Area
and g. ". Willoughby, farmer Of
Waukegan.
Several special venires have been
exhausted in the attempt to fill the
jury box and many prospective jurors
otherwise acceptable have been dis
missed because they said they had
formed an opinion in the case"
Most of the veniremen have been
summoned from parts OF the county
distant from Lake Forest where the
body of the school girl was found last
February in the snow in a patch of
woodland not far from her home.
Chemical analysis showed that 4
quick acting poison was the death
agent and the states theory of the
case outlined by the states attorney
was that the poison was given to the
girl by Orpet who had tired OF her, or
that she was led by him TO take II III

WRIT is GRANTED
IN MATTERS CASE
Judge Lands Issues Habeas Corpus
TO Determine Legal Custody of
Child in Dispute.

Chicago, May 2O.-Margaret Ryan,
is the real mother of the infant which
Mrs. Anna Dollie LedgerWoOd Matters
is seeking to prove her child, went be-
fore Judge Lands in the federal court
today with a petition for writ of
habeas corpus to obtain the child. A
forthwith hearing was ordered by the
judge.
Mrs. Matters, with Charles T. Mellon
and Harry Edwards is on trial in the
state court on a charge of conspiracy
to foist a spurious heir to the estate
of her late husband Fred Matters, up
on the probable court.
Nuns and nurses from the Miseri-
cordia hospital at Ottawa, Canada,
have testified that the child known as
Irene Matters was born to Margaret
Ryan; who at the hospital was known
as Jessie Bryan.
Several of the witnesses in this Mat
tiers trial admitted that before the
probate court they testified falsely that
the infant was the child of Mrs. Mat
tiers.
The state charges that desire to
obtain a greater share of the Matters
estate led to the alleged deception re-
garding the parentage of the child.
Hearing on the habeas corpus petit
ton was brief The court issued the
writ and made it returnable next Fri
day with the understanding that 1t is
not to embarrass either the prosecu-
ton or the defense.

Leaders as Men That Are
Looking Backward.

Charlotte, n. c., May 20.--President
Wilson today addressed crowd esi-
mated at more than 100000 gathered
here for the 141st anniversary of the
signing of the Mecklenburg Declaration
of independence. He was introduced
by Governor Craig of North Carolina,
who spoke of the president as one Of
the greatest leaders the nation has ever
seen,
The president spoke only briefly and
devoted himself almost wholly to dis
cussion of the ideals of the United
States. He declared ''untainted Ameri-
canism" was needed and that the
United States must preserve its ideals
in order to be of assistance in helping
the world. He was enthusiastically
applauded. Among other things he
said:
Il want to call your attention to the
fact that this nation has devoted Itself
almost too much to material things
There have been other nations just as
rich as the United States. We must
think of what we are going to do with
our wealth and our prosperity.
America did not come out of the
south and it did not come out of New
England 1t came out of the middle
states where there was a mixture OF
different races"
Europe is fighting out in war the
questions we are fighting out in peace,
said the president. In America We
have tried 10 set the example OF peace
by keeping together. Isn't it the sign
and dawn of a new age that the one
thing new on which the world is about
to fall back is the moral judgment OF
mankind?'
With the hope that the United States
after the European war would be able
to lift up a symbol of the still, small
voice of humanity" the president
closed his address amid burst OF APP
plause.

MoUe Clocks
UpOne Hour
to Save Time

London, May 20.-The hands on all
clocks on British railroads, postoftices,
newspaper Offices, police stations and
other places where business is conduct
ed throughout the night will be pushed
forward at o'clock tomorrow morn
ing to o'clock in accordance with the
daylight saving act. The general pub
lie will put their clocks and watches
one hour ahead before going to bed
tonight or will awake to f1nd them
selves late for breakfast.
The new schedule will run until
Sept. go when clocks will be stopped
for an hour. Factories, banks, stores,
trains, theatres and restaurants will
all conform to the new time sched-
ule There is a small old fashioned
section of the people, who have derided
the daylight saving scheme but they
will be practically forced into line by
its acceptance in all public institu-
tons.
The only exception will be the parks
in the large cities which will open an
hour later to allow people the benefit
of more fresh air. The hour of 2 on
Sunday morning was selected for the
change because fewer trains are run
ming then than at any other time dur
ing the week.
Christiania, (via London,) May 20
The legislature has passed the day
light savings bill, advancing the clock
one hour. The new regulation goes
into effect on May %.
The passage of the daylight saw
ings bill by Norway makes the new
time system common to all northern
Europe. Germany adopted the new
schedule on May l and was followed
by England, France, Holland and the
Scandinavian countries.
