The Washington district conference
which met at Toilette last week, clos
ed Sunday evening with satisfactory
results. The session was one of the
best from every standpoint it has ev-
er been our pleasure to witness. Rev.
j. B. Byrd and his good members
and the people of Toilette in general
entertained the delegates and visitors
most royalty. Rev. G. W. Young, the
presiding elder, was all smiles and
his preachers and delegates stood by
him until the Washington district
went "over the top" by raising $633.OO
for education instead of $4,000 for
which it was asked. The Washington
station was first to lead off in max
ing reports; all of its delegates were
present except two, and when called
upon to report, they marched to the
front in a body and did credit to
themselves by paying their own as
sessments in full and that of the alb
sent delegates. This method was
largely followed by all of the char
ges without break until the reports
were all in. The session was a sue
cess both spiritually and socially as
well as financially. Space will not al
low me to give in full detail the do
ings Of the conference, especially as
to the preaching, speaking, singing
by the five choirs, the excellent con-
cert pulled off Saturday night under
the management of Prof. r. B. Will
liamson, and Sunday School Sunday
morning; all of which were commend
able. Rev's C. l. Bullock and T. c..
Cothran were among the visiting pre-
siding elders, and rendered valuable
service while present. Rev. Bullock
preached Saturday morning to the
satisfaction of all. Other good SER
mons were preached during the ses-
sion by Rev's Geo. Jones, E. ]. Cope

Are you really making some sacri-

4 SACRIFICE?
1t is so easy to deceive ourselves.
Il bought ten thousand dollars

eNclaims with the proud air of ono
who has made a big sacrifice for the
!, sake of her country.
Now in many cases the buying Of
this number OF bonds, even the pur-
chase of n single bond has meant a
real sacrifice. But Mrs. Jones knew
4 in her heart that she had bought
these bonds simply because the in
J vestment was q convenient and safe
one.
y Again. Mrs. Smith loses no opportu-
Z nifty to tell YOU that she is just fin
n ishing her eleventh sweater and as
for helmets and mufflers--well. she
has lost count of the number she has
] knitted.
Now. of course, Mrs. Smith gan
! justly be proud of. sucIf record. But
as it happened, it required no sacri-
flee whatsoever. She had plenty of
leisure and she enjoyed knitting. Be
fore the war she knitted bright cor.
ored sweaters The only difference
the war has made to her is that now
she knits with khaki colored and navy
hlue yarn.
'.And what are you doing for the
war; Someone asks pretty young
Bettina, who lives in small town
near II Cantonment.
"Oh, l help to cheer up the sol
diers." Bettina replies. I'VE give
dances for them every Wednesday
night at the club and on Sunday ev-
ening they drop into the church for
a supper and entertainment.
Yes, indeed. the girl who is not
willing to sacrifice everything for her
country is a Stacker" Bettina agrees.
And she really does not perceive
that what she is doing has not re-
quired the slightest sacrifice on her
part. In fact. she sometimes wonders
how she ever managed to get along
with just the stupid f1ome-boys' be-
fore the war.
These are only few examples or
people who are camouflaSing their
conscience.
Now all the things mentioned are
in themselves worth while, but unless
the doings of them requires real sac
rifice. we are slackers
The time has passed when we can
be content with just doing our "bit"
We must do our all" And there is
one thing in the province of all, that
no matter what else we are doing for
the country. we must do. This is to
save food.
Now whatever way you look at it.,
saving food means a sacrifice. For
those who have been in the habit of
overeating. it means a great deal to
do with less food now. There are
some of us who all our lives have been
in the custom of having bacon every

THE BACKBONE OF A TIRE

Cotton, tire fabric is full of
life and vitality because of the
natural vegetable wax and oil
that permeates the fibre, but in
many tires the heat used in vul-
canizing simply carbopates these
life giving lubricants and leaves
fabric that is practically dead
ened, brittle and lifeless. In,
Perfection tires the open weave
Asbestos Breaker Strip and the
finely woven, Asbestos outer ply
protect the cotton fabric during
the curing process, not only re-
tanning its life and vigOr, but
forming an inseparable union be-
tween, the rubber compound and
the carcass because of their kim
dredI mineral qualities.
Outlasts Ordinary Rubber
, Pure rubber, as you know, Is
very resultant, but has neither
durability nor toughness until
after it is compounded with other
strengthening materials and
then properly vulcanized. The
Perfection way-Protected by
Asbestos-is a perfect cure with
out injury to the fabric. 1t is
vulcanized with 80 degrees more
heat, and in shorter time than any
other tire on the market-and
that's what. it takes to make a

 Greenfield's constant activity to kep out of the way of the murderopts fists, and his constant dancing in and out tired him considerably. and when he went to his corner at the end of the first round he was puffing hard.

He waded into Sullivan with right swing that landed behind Sullivan's left ear and cut the skin. He followed this with a Ieft-hand smash over the champions eye which cut the skin
 Then Sullivan went after his man in earnest. Catching up with him, he stood and banged away at the English man, who refused to break ground, but stood and hammered back.
