offense mainly being driving with an
open muffier or without the proper

felt sympathy to the husband in his be-
reavement. Rev. Symons is at present
filling charge at Sturgeon Bay.

he say: eve notice that people in at
tending a public entertainment in the
Hall have no hesitancy in taking front
seats, in fact, there is general rush
for them, and usually higher price

into the back seats and if there are
any empty pews they are always be-
tween the preacher and people, and the
glad tidings of salvation lose half their
charms in having to bound over empty
pews to reach the audience.

all make up the romantic settings, CIV
ing lmme asurable impetus to the

san Trandaise, one of the greatest
French favorites, is wonderful in this
picture. Friday Red Cross program
