W. Kee Maxwell, editor of the Ak

keen interest in whatever takes place
in that village. This accounts for the
following editorial which recently APP
peared in the columns OF his paper:
"0ver in Galesburg, Ill.,, the par
sons have banded together and issued
u manifesto against knitting in church
during services. The indignant spokes-
man of the clergy delivered himself
thus in making the protest.
