Mrs. Stewart tried to revise her list
so as to. pair some one off with Mr..
Stobridge and have some one left
over that would be congenial with
Nancy. But the Arrangement for the
other guests was perfect. The affin-

OBSERVE DUAL
ANNIVERSARY
EpDYvIlLE CONGREGATIONAL
CHURCH 70 YEARS OLD; PAS
TOR THERE ONE YEAR

Sunday, February 3, marked the
first anniversary of Rev. A. S. Kill
bourn's ministry to the First Congre-
gational church in Eddyville, as well
as the seventy-third anniversary OF
the church, which was organized Feb.
ruary z. 1s45.
Rev. Kilbourn, native OF Massa'
chusetts, a graduate of the Fftchburg
normal school, Dartmouth college and
Bangor Theological seminary. came
to Eddyville from the Enfield, New
Hampshire, Congregational church.
During his ministry the church has
established new records along sew.
eral lines. The membership has in.
creased Is per cent, and the different
departments of church activity have
each exceeded the preceding year in
numbers, in spiritual interest and fin
ancial gain. Benevolences and chart
table offerings have more than dou-
bled, besides increasing the minister's
salary for the ensuing year by $500,
and placing the church in a position
for self-support.
Appeals OF the nation have in every
way met with hearty response, and
six young men, members Of the
church, have volunteered in their
country's service A service flag in
the church bears a star for each or
these young men.
The church feels a commendable
pride in the improvements of the
past year, and Justly attributes them
largely to the inspiration and effort
put forth by Rev. Kilbourn.

TROOPS CAN'T VOTE
ATIOWA ELECTION

Des Moines, Feb. 13.-In the absence
Of an extra session of the legislature
which seems to have been dropped en-
tirely in Iowa, 1t is likely that most of
the $4,000 Iowa soldiers and sailors
now in service will not participate in
the coming primaries and elections.
Many OF them will be in France before
November. and they are so scattered
as to render it difficult to take COM
prehensive ballot.
The law permitting the taking of a
vote by special commission does not
apply save In general elections. Sew
eral states have passed laws permit
ting soldiers to ballot under the super
vision of their commanding officers
in the field, and some measure of
this kind might enable most of tho
Iowans in the army to vote.

FAIRFIELD HEARS TWO
NOTABLE SPEAKERS

Falrneld, Feb. 13.-TueSd0y after
noon two large audiences heard John
B. Lord Of Washington, D. c., and Mrs.
Walter McNab Miller Of Columbia,
Mo-, when they appeared at the High
school building under the auspices of
the local Red Cross society. Both
we're representing the United States
food administration and are being sent
through the country urging upon peo-
pie the necessity Of conserving the
food supply If the United States is to
win this great world war.
Mr.. Lord returned from the Euro
pean war front only three weeks ago
where he was sent by President viii,
son to learn Of the food situation
among the allies. That Mr.. Lord re-
turned with what he went after was
not doubted by single man or wom-
an, boy or girl who heard him make
those most gripping addresses. He
did more to bring the war really
home to Fairfield and Jefferson county
people than any one person has yet
done, for he told in plain simple Amer
lean language. some of which was
punctuated with slang, of the awful
conditions existing "over there" and
u the wonderful spirit Of the French
and English armies who will hold on"
until our boys can get "fit" OF the
desolation Of the farm lands in
Europe and of the small amount of
stun that is being raised by the wom-
en- and old men who are left behind.
Mr.. Lord spoke and emphasized the
necessity of the American nation say.
ing every thing possible to send to
those allies Of ours who are with us
fighting for civilization and democ-
racy.
Mrs. Miller's address was confined
principally to the American woman's
duty. To re-arrange her household
and get it upon war basis and con-
serve the wheat and the meat and the
fats sugar, etc. She presented the
duty Of the nations women in clear
consise and forceful manner and set
many in her audience to thinking and
thinking hard.
These two speakers addressed the
students of the High school and the
upper grades in the High school gym
and then spoke to as many of the
grown ups as could crowd into the
High school auditorium which seats
several hundred people.
