DOMESTIC SCIENCE CLASSES
ENJOY ANNUAL PICNIC


The domestic science classes Oh the
local school, as is customary each year,
had a picnic on Monday at Wall
Springs, the young ladies being taken,
down by Mr.. T. E. Bridgland in ais
car. The custom is to use the jellies,
preserves and such like that they have
made during the year, and make other
good things for the occasion.
This year the menu consisted OF
meat loaf, sandwiches, potato salad,
pear chips, apricot conserve, mint jel-
ly, cocoanut waters, peach sundae
with sauce of the peaches the girls
had canned. Everything was made by
the girls, including the bread used for
the sandwiches. The color scheme
was attractive in pink and green, the
table being artistically arranged.
The young ladies enjoyed the fine
bathing and all had most delightful
time.
Those in the party were Miss Nell
Stewart, Lois Sutton, Georgia jack
son, Lucy Hartley, Eva May Huey,
Emily Meres, Cora Cause, Bessie Tay-
lor, Elizabeth Pindar, Faye Blake,
Mary Clones, Evangeline Baicou,

The Red Cross helps no one who does not need

Poilus Like Oysters and Salad.
The canteen work is one of the most
gratifying ways of helping the men.
To see those poilus enjoying the first
delicacies they have had for days is a
soul-satisfying sight. The English and
French maintain canteens where they
dispense soup, hot coffee and cocoa, to-
bacco, chocolate, etc, but the Ameri-

dinners at cost or under. The pOilus

Does 1t help his spirits? Does 1t?
Does it cheer him to get these snacks

QUESTIONABLE" BENEFITS

The QUESTIONABLE" is gotted
out for the purpose of putting the
man within draft age in proper
class, so that the government will
know just what he is doing and,
Judging the future by the past,
just what he can do The policy
of the government is to put these
men within the draft age where
they can do the most good. If a
farmer is only making a living for
himself on his farm, with nothing
over to go on the market to help
feed and clothe those who are en-
gagged in other callings, manifest
ly such man is not worth much
on the farm and has missed his
calling, but if he is feeding and
clothing himself and family and
making foodstuff that can be sold
on the market, going TO help feed
and clothe the balance the
world, then such a man is worth
his weight in gold on the farm and
the policy would be to keep him
there, as he would be more valu-
able on the farm than anywhere
else.
Every man answering one of
these questionnaires has been
given the opportunity to say
whether or not he is willing to
take free evening school instruc-
tions fitting him for some service
in some branch of the army be-
fore he is called to camp, and if
he has answered that he is, he
will have an opportunity to learn
some trade or occupation that
will make a more useful man out
of him for the rest of his life.
Thousands upon thousands o f
men who go in the army as un-
skilled labor will come out train
ed in the mechanical arts and in
other trades that will increase
their earning power and make
more resourceful and useful citi-
zens of them the balance Of their
lives.
The QUESTIONABLE $ good

The Prayer Meeting
That Is Alive
B. E. Mullins, Pastor Methodist Ch.

We are glad that it is alive; that
it has survived. 1t must be ad-
mitted that at times it has been
on the verge of total collapse.
Many doctors have diagnosed the
case, arriving at various conclu-
sions and prescribing different
remedies. 1t has had almost ev-
erything injected into il1kpown
to regular physicians er 11ll=.eks.
Sometimes it has almost seemed
necessary as an act of mercy to
administer a hypodermic injec-
ton of morphine to quiet the pain
or put the poor thing out of it's
misery. But it persists in living.
1t certainly has Il wonderful con-
stitution it has weathered all
kinds of storms and has with
stood many epidemics of conta.
geous diseases and spiritual fam
inc, war, drouth and pestilence,
as well as the medicine of many
doctors. 1t sometimes seemed
like the church at Sardis, which
had the name Of being alive, but
was dead. But it really was not
dead, only slumbering. 1t is ev.
identity destined to live. and to
continue to have a part of, and
have a place in, the spiritual well
fare and work of the church, of
today and of tomorrow 1t be
hooves us to BE watchful, and
establish the things that remain
which are ready to die" "
Metaphorically speaking the
prayer meeting that is alive will
have a name, parents, god-par-
ents, training and education, an
occupation, voice, a mouth, res
paritory organs, a heart, hands
and feet, and all the essentials of
the human body.
