FL CFNTR0 TEACHERS
HONORFD. At
RECEPTION
BY Mary M. Sweeney.

The reception given in honor Of the
teachers of Ell Centre, at the M. E.
church on Friday evening, September
&c, was not dry-neither was it taste
less. 1t is not very often that the
young people Of Ell Centro have excuse
to face the rain and storm, huddled
snder umbrellas or in cars with the cur
tains down. Those who were not
brave enough to venture forth Friday
evening missed a treat.
The reception was given by the
Young Peoples Union. The church,
with it's pretty decorations and bright
lights was the more cozy and attrac-
tive because of the rain outside and
the spirits of the company were not
dampened.
The fun began with a Glad Hand
game conducted by Miss Dorothy Mas
ten, during which we settled number
OF the important questions of the day.
Miss Lenna Mayfield also introduced
a game in which, sad to relate, she
sold a number of her best friends.
Then came piano solo by Miss Mas
ten, an address of welcome by Mr..
Matlick which was responded to by
Prof. Warner of the High School ia
Guilty, who spoke for the High School
and grammar school.
Last but not least, was the refresh
ment game conducted by Leland Daily,
who divided the gay crowd into family
groups of ten or dozen each, and
provided them with an abundance of
cookies and ice cream cones. Many
Of the naughty children had to have
two or three.

HARRISON SPEAKS

monday

Robert C. HARRISON, Republican cam

tro Monday, October 8, according to
announcements made by the Republi-
can County Central Committee who
met here Saturday to arrange dates
for the Republican candidate on his
speaking tour of the Valley.
Mr.. HARRISON will be in the valley
for four days, October Z, 8, 9, and 10.
Saturday he will address the voters
at Calexico. Sunday he will attend
church services here and on Monday
speak to the people of this vicinity

Mr.. Johnston, "and l couldn't quite do
it. / turned loose some real religion.
The church wanted the conventional
and it objected. l imagine this ele-
ment in the vestry represents the real
desire of the congregation for bril-
liant piffle,' as l have heard it de-
scribed. A phonograph and few well
chosen records could deliver the kind
of religion they want. Then, too, one
can control phonograph with a touch
of the hand"
The 'dea of preaching Straight
from the shoulder religion" came to
Rev. Mr.. Johnston prior to 1914, when
he with Richard Wallace Hogue, the
Rev. A. W. Arundel of St. George,
New York, and half dozen others
deliberately planned to preach twen--
tieth century religion from the Epis-
copal pulpit and take what conse-
quences were coming. Mr.. Hogue
left his church, and DR.. Arundel re-
signed from Trinity Pittsburg in 1918.
The Rev. Johnston will be asso-
ciated with Hogue in his work in Bal
timore. 1t is possible that he may
take another parish, but only on a
warm invitation from all members
and with the frank understanding that
he will speak his thoughts without
limitation from the church members.

WINTER LEAGUE OF
AMATEUR BALL
ASSURED

Base ball fans of the valley will be
treated to good quality of ball this
winter, this assurance being the out
come of meeting held at the court
house last evening in which Calexico.
Eoltville, Imperial, Heber and Ell Gen.
tro were represented.
Owing to not receiving notice of
the meeting in time, Brawley did not
have a representative here, but it is
understood that the boys from the
north will come into the league.
The meeting Sunday was only for
temporary organization. 1t is expect
ed that the organization will be COM
pleted his coming Sunday, when the
several teams will have their local
plans made and officers elected.
Seeley and Heber are both after a
berth in the league, and by agreement
these two teams will fight it out on
the diamond as to which will be the
sixth town represented. The first
game between these two teams will
be played at Heber this Sunday. The
town that can place the strongest
bunch in the field will be taken in.
That the people of the valley will
support an amateur winter league

VERMONT INDUSTRIES.
Morrisville Messenger.

Rutland bids fair to become the
center of the scale industry of the
country, the Howe Scale Co. having
sold it's business to western capitalists,
who are interested in big scale works
elsewhere, who intend to greatly en-
large its works at Rutland and to
double its working force. More and
more big business is coming to YER
mont because of greater immunity
from strikes and labor troubles, better
and more efficient help, etc. The
largest mill, with one exception, of the
American Wooden Co., is at Winooski,
and the Remington Arms Co. is en-
larging its Swanton plant to more
than double its former capacity, for the
same reasons. A few years ago, the
principal stakeholder in the Porter
Screen Co. contemplated moving the
plant of the company to New Jersey,

SERVICE IN u. S. ARMY,
Rutland News.


What will become of the National
Guard when it is released from bor-
der service? Many reports agree
that the boys will resign by the
thousands. They have done their
duty. 1t will be some one else's turn
then. "Let George do it," Who can
blame them?
If this is the case it will then be
more than ever necessary to make
United States army service more at
tractive. But enlistments have been
coming hard. Many Of our leading
citizens deplore this apparent lack OF
patriotism.
Yet to a man of ambition and
spirit, $l5 month, even with board
and clothes, does not look very rosy.
Every one would like to encourage en-
listments. The recruiting offices have
pretty pictures showing the pleasant
side of army life. But SIS a month
doesn't compete with present wage
levels. Particularly is this so if man
has a little family.
A certain type of men will always
be attracted into the army no mat
ter what the pay. To young men
liking adventure it seems attractive.
But after year attending the lawns at
some army post, the romance all fades
away. Patrolling the cactus plains of
the border would seem little better.
There is a chance down there of course
that one could pot Mexican, but there
is not much satisfaction in playing an
opponent so ignorant of the rules of the
game.
Army life will attract solid, sub
stantial. preserving young fellows,
when a living chance is offered and not
much before. The army needs some
thing besides mere rovers. 1t needs
men who will stick right toit, with the
hope of working up at least to the lower
commands which are fairly well paid.
But Uncle Sam will have to loosenup"
a bit to get them.

THE CHATAUQUAS.
Morrisville MESSENGER.

The Chatauqua idea gr4w out of
the gatherings at Lake Chautauqua
years ago. Prominent men who
summered there were induced to
speak and then other talent was hired
and the movement spread. The modern
Chautauqua, the bringing of the great
Chautauquas to the smaller communi-
ties, is of recent growth. To our mind
the nearer it keeps to the original idea,
the lecture platform, with great ad-
dresses by men who are eminent in
different lines, the better it will prove
both financially and otherwise, Judg-
ing by the impress left here, it was the
lectures that "took" with the great
mass of the people. Give US more good
speakers and less amusements; more
instruction, more "up-lift" and less
high art and famous artists.

EXTRA PAY FOR SOLDIERS,
Hardwick Gazette,

The State Legislators did business
with dispatch at the day and a half
extra session last week They went
to Montpelier with a purpose in mind,
patriotic recognition of the sacrifice
made by our volunteer soldiers, who
went to the country's service on short
notice and left positions where their
pay was much more than is paid
soldiers, by voting them some extra
pay and also providing to some extent
for dependents Of the soldiers, The
men on the border were also given
voting privileges, The coming legis-
ature could take example from the
manner of going about the work of law
making. The argument that eX-
perience in legislative matters helped
along the work in hand is not out Of
place.

SCHOOLS OPENED.

We have noticed that schools have
been opened this week in several towns
in southern Vermont. The Vermont
State Board of Health, which has
authority to enforce its orders, had
directed that schools in the State re
main closed until September IS, in order
to avoid any possibility of infantile
paralysis getting a foothold in the
State. Vermont has been free of the
dreaded disease until this week, when
four cases were reported-one in
Poultney which resulted fatally, two in
Arlington in one family, and one in
Woodstock.
