We are indebted to the members of the Pollyanna club. who so valiantly helped with the baby milk fund benefit. Our appreciation is equally due to the case committee to the physicians and lawyers, and tulness, the keynote of the work as others wao have given so generously of their time and thought Your ser vice has been priceless; but we can thank you.'

They Are Keeping the Pay Rolls OF
Coal Mine.
Just the same as the war has affect
ed other industries, so has it crippled
the coal industry in Oklahoma in TAX
ing away scores Of it's most experienced
workers who have been responsible for
the industry being kept going during
the last year when conditions became
greatly disturbed. Girls are now play
ing an important part in bringing the
coal industry back to normal, and ev.
cry day there is new face at some of
the mines in this locality, some young
gill or young woman who has seen the
need of aiding her country in the pros
ecution Of the war.
At the present time there are twen.
ty-eight girls working in the local coal
fields. No, they are not digging coal,
for this is manual labor which requires
more than feminine strength, but they
are rolling up their sleeves and enter
Ing the Offices to take the places Of
young men who have been called to
the c1ln-s. A majority Of these girls
are bookkeepers and stenographers,
while two of them are keeping time.

HAND-WRITTEN BIBLE

Montreal Man Spent Many Years Pre-
pairing the Manuscript.
Hugh Russell Of Notre Dame de
Grace, Quebec, is the reverent posses
sor of what is one of the most Won
derful books in the world. 1t is a
COPY of the Bible written entirely IN
his own hand, and, as now bound, is
not larger in size than the old-style
family Bible. It is beautifully written.
too, bearing evidence in every WORD
of an infinite patience and reverence,
recalling the work Of a medieval monk.
It is certainly a wonderful piece Of CAL
biography throughout.
Mr.. Russell is very modest about his
achievement. "No, I am not a minis
ter" he said. II am only an ordinary
commercial traveler-a knight of the
road-but I was brought up by godly
parents, both of them living still in
Montreal, and have love for the Book
of Books"
Mr.. Russell, who is Presbyterian
Scotsman, began his work in 1894 and
finished it on st. Andrews day, Ncvenl-
