This was one Of the best meetings OF
the season, and there should have
been n full house. We don't know
why. but IL seems that so many Of

are always free and there are no
strings tied TO them. and great deal
II information can be gathered from
these experts. Those who attended
this meeting were very much pleased
with the demonstrations.
1T is reported that the worst road
in this vicinity Is from the Bethel
church east to the Jack VinVickle
weeds to grow on the north side of
the road, these dead weeds causing
the snow to drift ON the road. This
s an important road, oil Of II gumbo,
and a great deal of work has been
put on this road by the overseer in
that district. J. ID. Morris. Every
body knows that j. ID. is q good roads
booster, from start to finish, and more
than does his part toward keeping up
the roads, and he should have the
cooperation of the farmers in his dis
trict. Farmers should take more in
tcrest in the roads along their farms
and NOW the weeds, especially on the
roads located as Is this Bethel road.
We are glad to note that Mr.. Morris
has again been appointed road over
seer in the Glendale district, because
this means a further improvement In
the condition Of the roads in that dis
trict.

STOP GAMBLING IN SUMATRI
Methodlsts' Crusade Closed Mani
Dens on Island, According to Mis-
sionarys Statement.

A vice crusade, conducted by MethI
odist missionaries on the Island OF Sui
matra has resulted in the abolition oi
gambling by the government md the
closing Of hundreds OF dens. In n le'i
ter to the joint centenary committed
OF the Methodist Episcopal church Rev.
Leonard Oschsli tells how he and othed
missionaries fought one OF the greatest
evils Of the island.
Word has come TO us that the gaH1
bling farms which had hitherto beef
sold by the government to the highest
bidder were to be taken over by tlq
government as monopoly" said Mr.
Oechsli. "We know that once the gov1
eminent became enmeshed with the
enormous income. the evil would be
well-nlgh inextricable. So we started
whirlwind campaign for the com
plete prohibition Of gambling. WITH
our Christian people as leaders we
held daily meetings up and down the
coast. drew up a petition to the ecs|
ernor general, and secured thousands
Of signatures.
"A few weeks later the governor
general ordered that NIL the gambling
houses be closed. There was n public
auction OF tables and furniture. ana
the entrances to the dens were board
ed up. After a period OF protest the
disgruntled owners were forced TO 50

REMEMBERED
q
By LAURA JEAN lIBBEY

1.-THE heart is hard in nature and unfit
For human fellowship. as being void
Or sympathy and therefore dead alike
To love and friendship both. that Is not
pleased
With sight of others enjoying life
Nor feels their happiness augment his
own"
At the beginning Of the New Year
one should brush the dust Off his list
Of friends, looking up those who have
dropped quietly out Of ones everyday
life without a very good reason for
It. Making new acquaintances Is usu-
ally an easy matter. But to nurture
those acquaintances until they BIOS
som into friends, cemented by loyalty
and constancy, is different problem.
A man or woman may count ac-
quaintanceS by the score-people who
invite them to their homes to dine, to
tbeater party, or merrymaking-yet
they are still acquaintance only.
Friendship means much more than
this, while few actually understand 1t.
Many one has counted up hundred
so-callcd friends today. But IL adver-
sity sssails one tomorrow there may
not be one heart among the many one
could turn to for solace and cheer.
Not one pair of hands would be ex-
tended to draw one in from the cold,
the storm and darkness, IL one Is sud-
denly bereft Of shelter. Past benefits
are not remembered. Acquaintance
dnd 1t easy to forget. Only friends re-
member the past and its hallowed
memories.
A woman will remember every detail
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1918-12-27

Of her courtship-where she first met
her lover, their introduction, the i'm
preston she formed of him at first
sight. She even remembers what her
reveries were and her wonderment as
to whether or not he thought of her.
She remembers each call he made: all
that was said or done; how she had
detected his growing love for her even
before he guessed 1t himself. She re-
members the hour of their bethrothal
and the conversation that brought II
quite Unexpectedly about.
As for the man she married, not one
man In a hundred can remember what
emotion swept across his heart at his
first meeting with her whom he was
to love evermore till death did them
part. Ninety-nlne men out of a hum
dred will confess to their wives. "Tm
blest If just know just how I hap
pened to propose to you" When a
man can forget that most thrilling of
all moments in his life he can forget
anything, Such men find 1t very easy
to forget their wife's or children's
birthdays, realizing that remembrance
would call for presents.
Many wives are glad to have the chill
dren not forgotten. But they are Just
as well satisfied that he has forgotten
how swiftly time is running away with
their good looks and aging them.
Last, and by no means least, no man
or woman, no matter how happily mar
RED, should allow the old folks at home
10 Imagine themselves forgotten by
them. 1t doesn't take much time 70
write few lines once in a fortnight.
We should always remember not to for.
get those who have been dear to us.
