Mrs. Horace Hall gave a reading
on WAR Taxes" which was short, to
the point, and of interest to everyone
present. Rev. Coach in a few brief
remarks made special plea for moro
cooperation between the church and
the farmer, and urged each to take
advantage of every opportunity for
mutual gain and improvement. In
terspersed throughout the program
were vocal and instrumental solos by
Miss Myrtle Wilkes, Mrs. Hilton Rap
