VAL. STEAM LAUNDRY
TO S. F. S0UTHARD

A deal has been consummated
whereby S. F. Southard has leased
from w. H. Pruitt the Valley Steam
Laundry.
Mr.. Southard, the new proprietor,
has been associated with the Valley
Steam Laundry for some time and is
thoroughly experienced laundry
man. He has been a resident of this
section for several years and is we'll
and favorably known. Mr.. Southard
and Mr.. Pruitt are old time friends,
having been raised together in east
ern Kansas.
Mr.. Pruitt has enjoyed unqualified
success in the Valley Steam Laundry
for the past four years and two
months and states that, although he
has transferred his business, he will
continue to make Ell Centre his home.
He is enthusiastic in his faith in the
Valley. He is large land owner
and even now is considering adding to
his ranch holdings.
During his long term of business
here Mr.. Pruitt says that he has only
teen away from the Valley three
times and then only for very short
periods, for, as he stated this morn
ing, "why should one wish to go else
where when our climate during the
seasons compares favorably with that
advertised by famous resorts-both
winter and summer"
His home spirit is so great that
now that his business cares are over
he has only planned vacation of a
week, and that only to shake hands
with some Coast friends.

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
With the British Armies in the
Field, February 2 (By mail)-What
does it feel like to have hostile bat
terry of artillery pick you up and be-
gin shooting at you while you hang
in a basket half a mile high in a
captive balloon?
Suppose, as you hangled at the top
end of the wire cable no thicker than
child's little finger, the German
howitzers should suddenly try to
smash the auto-truck carrying the
winch holding the ground end OF the
string.
Suppose you, up there in the win
ter sky, saw an aeroplane making

Its best to shoot fire arrows into

and chuck you headlong to the froz-
en- earth below?
Or, failing to explode, the balloon
caught fire and you, to save your
self, had to plunge downwards at the
tail end of a parachute with sharpnel
bursting about you all the time?
Think you could do your work
calmly, accurately? Think you would
be sufficiently cool-headed to call up
en- the telephone, whose wires disap-
GEAR under you in dizzy dip ground
ward, and tell somebody in a little
office about it and have him get your
own batteries working?
These are the working conditions
of every day of the soldiers attached
to the balloon sections of the army.

GREAT REVIVAL
At FLOOD
TIDE

A large and enthusiastic audience
greeted Mr.. Brown as he entered the
pulpit at the Christian church last
evening to deliver his lecture-sermon,
"If l Were a Woman" This address
has been delivered hundreds of times
in more than thirty states Of the
Union.
The committee of women who had
charge of the arrangements for the
evening proved themselves efficient
and gracious hostesses. 1t added
much to the real purpose and spirit
of the occasion to see these bright
faced women everywhere in evidence,
each contributing her part toward
preparing the hearts of others for the
message that would make the home
and church the supreme objects Of
love and devotion.
Mrs. w. G.. Conley presided. Mrs.
Hayes gave a beautiful Scripture
reading. Mrs. Campbell led in an
earnest prayer for the conservation
of motherhood. Mrs. Phil D. Swing
touched the hearts of her hearers
with the beautiful song, "His Eye Is
on the Sparrow"
Mr.. Brown was at his best as he
brought alternately laughter and tears
when he related the simple, everyday
experiences that lie so close to every
genuine mothers heart. No wonder
that he could see and feel hearty
response coming back to him from his
hearers, as he pictured the high and
holy purpose of wifehood and mother
hood. He spoke of how in every
profession ones work may be finished
not so with woman's. Hers is a
ceaseless routine. But she is stronger
than man in many ways. She brings
her best to her task because she
has entrusted to her the care of NOR
tai souls.
"The greatest power that this
world knows is woman's power over
man. If l were woman, would
glory in this power-that queenly re-
gal power, far above and beyond that
of any king or potentate on earth.
But there is one thing that woman
should never do. l would never mar
nv a bad man believing ! could re-
form him after we were married.
"If l were a woman l would have
q husband. What for? Oh, l did
not promise to tell you what for, and
'pon my word l do not know. But
/ would surely marry"
Mr.. Brown urged close, sympa-
thetic interest, upon the part Of a
wife, in the business and everyday
incidents that the husband loves to
bring home with him when he closes
the office in the evening and comes
to the one he loves best for sympathy
and inspiration and courage. He will
talk to somebody. If the wife has no
time for him, someone has, and he
will certainly seek the one who will
lisen.
The address was closed with these
words:
"If were a woman, at any cost
and sacrifice, ! would leave my chill
dren the heritage of an unfaltering
faith. When you are gone there is no
lower that will hold them when the
night is dark and the storm is high
like the memory of a mothers devo-
tion."
