Here is a model that is good for linen and for cotton gabar- dine and for pique and for all the materials that can be made in tailored style.

 High School Students Tonight.

 For we're the girls that have the
 snap.
 To show that Pine Bluffs on the
 You'll find us here, you'll find us
 You'll find us working everywhere;
 And when this old worl dhas to
 flop
 You'll find the business girls on
 top'
 This is the yell which woke the echoes as the business girls of Pine Bluff entered the big tabernacle last night. They came 250 strong and a finer looking crowd of young women was never seen in our city. They were given reserved seats in the cen- ter of the tabernacle. They sang a chorus that had been composed for the occasion as follows:
 Business girls for Christ
 Business girls for Christ;
 Pass along the watchword
 Business girls for Christ"
 These young women were enter tained at supper at the Y. M. c. A. as guests of the ladies of the churches of the city. At the supper Miss Byrnes addressed them and Mrs. Powell sang.
 A delegation from Grady also had reserved seats in the tabernacle last night. Two visiting ministers were in the pastors section of the plat. form. Rev. M. O. Barnett of Star City, and Rev. J. R. Rhodes of Grady. both M. D. preachers.
 During the opening services Mr.. Stephens took occasion to address some special remarks to the visiting delegation of business girls. Said he, "It is elevating to work. If one thinks it is lowering to work he needs an operation just above the eyes. Girls keep the standard high. There should not bo two standards. You should require as much from the man whom you marry as he requires of you."
 Mrs. Powell. then sang, Scatter Seeds of Kindness"
 Christian Life Is Happiest.
 The subject of MT. Stephens ser mon was What It Costs Not to Be A Christian" The text was Ps. 119 :59. II thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto Thy testimonies" He said. "It costs immensely not to be a Christian. There are some people who think but little. Some have all their thoughts upon society. Some are thoughtless about marriage and rush into this relationship as though it were the thing in the world that re- quires least consideration. It is the greatest suffering in the world to live the Christian life. Ask yourself what it costs to live without Christ and what it costs to die without Him. If you say you are willing to pay the price of living without Him then have no more to say.
 "You may be wanting definition of the Christian life. Let me give you the definition in the language of another, "A Christian is any man, woman, boy, or girl, who comes as sinner to God, confesses his sin, receives Jesus as personal Savior, surrenders himself to Him as Lord and strives to live like Him. It is wonderful to be a Christian. It is sweetness beyond description. One day of the Christian life is worth all the days you spend away from Him.

COMMISSIONERS
TALK MARKETS

The City Commissioners responded
to an invitation from the trustees of
the Farm Products Association to dis
cuss with them the subject Of public
markets.
Tuesday evenings Herald made this
report of the meeting:
Mayor Merrill and Commissioner
Clay gave views that may, eventually,
shape the city's policy in handling
this question of serving householders
by eliminating the middleman.
Mayor Merrill explained to the
Farm Products association trustees
that he had made some study of the
public markets in Seattle, finding
they resorted to two systems of OPP
Grafton, the direct buying by con-
sumers from producers, and the de-
livery service, which latter plan, said
the mayor, housewives appear to best
appreciate.
Commissioner Clay, who is and has
for a long time been an exponent
of the public market principle, ex-
planned how the Farm Products as
ISOLATION is maintained as a profit
creating business, wherefore the mid
| dle-man is not eliminated between
producer and buyer. He thought a
campaign of education should be con-
Quoted to give instruction to Everett
householders regarding the purposes
of public market, saying that in the
event farmers show interest in the
plan, and if it also interests members
of the Farm Products association, il
would then become necessary to or
ganize to have produce delivered in
Everett in a proper manner so con-
1 sumers could depend on regular SER
vice.
The commissioner further said he
had been in correspondence with the
federal government, receiving prom.
Use that department expert would
come to this field and spend con,
siderable time investigating conditions
of produce raising and selling, ther
. make recommendation he thought ad
visable under the circumstances.
"The chairman Of the meeting wa.
instructed to appoint committee o.
three to investigate the plan of {
public market. in a Wav of seeing how
much cooperation may be obtained
from Commercial club%and labor un
ions. Both Mayor Merrill and Com
missioner Clay said they stand ready
as municipal servants, to carry GU
public market plans"
The high cost of living is more anc
more attracting the attention of thu
people and it is hoped some means will
= soon be devised to lesson the cost t.
the consumer.
