Here is letter from Pastor
Clelland of the Methodist church
at Perkins, Sandusky, Ohio. The
pastor has been over there doing
Y. NJ. C. A. work, and has written
to his congregation that the war
has taught them many things, and
among others that people requir-
ed some amusement outside of
religious exercises, so he organic
ed dancing and card parties for
the boys. And after the armistice
was signed he continued the same
work in London. So he has an
nounced that when he returns
home there will be card playing
and dancing in connection with
his church Chat is, if he does not
lose his job.
1t refreshing to find that some
who thought otherwise have come
TO the conclusion that the Devil is
not lurking in every pack of cards
nor grinning behind the door OF
every we'll conducted dance. And
when you. think of it, which is
best, series of boisterous, more
or less childish games, played by
those who are shocked at the
mere word dancing, or an orderly

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
 |S BELOW AVERAGE

A survey of the schools by A. L. Jones, is convincing the county school superintendent that the attendance in the rural districts is not up to the standard set when the term opened in the autumn.
 Jones yesterday visited the St. Johns and Union districts and reports that he noticed a decrease in attend ance, especially at Union. He holds the influenza situation last winter re- sponsible, but contends that the health conditions are not such at the present time to warrant continuance of non attendance in the class rooms.
 Parents have gotten out of the habit of sending their children to school, due to the long recess during the epidemic" said Superintendent Jones. There is no excuse for the boys and girls remaining away, and the seriousness of such action on the part of parents Or guardians should be | brought to their attention

HARDER SOLE LEATHER

A Norway engineer of the city of Arendal, Norway, claims to have sue ceeded, after series of experiments, in inventing a method whereby sole leather can be hardened so that it at tains two or three times it's usual strength. The hardening may be done in several degrees, until the leather becomes stiff as wood It is claimed that after suitable hardening, sufficient for common shoes or boots, it does not lose any of its elasticity Another advantage claimed is that after this treatment the leather bet ter resists moisture and heat. It is alleged that leather not otherwise suitable for anything but insoles may through this treatment become a sat isfactory sole leather. The engineer is patenting his invention and sole leather treated after this method will soon be placed on the market in Nor way.

sWEETENING SOFT DRINKS
Scientific Americanl

(Sclentlf1c Amerlcan)
 A substitute for sugar for sweeten- ing soft drinks has been discovered by the bureau of chemistry of the de- partment of agriculture, and will be given free to the industry in the hope that it will assist in the conservation of sugar. The bureau is prepared to furnish bottlers with sweetening formulae that will allow the actual sugar content in soft drinks to be cut to 50 per cent or less, and at the same time will preserve the custom ary taste and quality of the bever- ages. Starch sugar, starch syrup, maltese syrup and honey are the bases of the substitutes used
 The bureaus speciali<- have CO., operated with bottlers in using these to sweeten and give body to soft drinks. Their favorable opinions of the results have been sustained by four tasting juries made up of repre- sentatives of the bottling industries. bureau experts, representatives of flavoring extract manufacturers and women and children representing the consuming public.

the other two, Billy Burns will meet O'Brien, and Young" Rose will try to show his superiority over R. Morton.
 All the men who will be presented in these preliminaries are local pro ducts, and their followers maintain they will show the sporting public of the valley a few things. A fourth pre- liminary will also be staged by two recent pupils of Wood, yet to be an- nounced. All four preliminary matches will be fought to a finish, until one man or the other in each is openly defeated
 But chief event of the night of course, will be the encounter between Wood and Pappas. Both men are in the pink of condition and both seem very evenly matched. Pappas is mid dleweight champion of the coast, while Woods record carries him back six years, the last two as an athletic in structor in the navy. The two will meet in 2 finish match, best two falls out of three.
 The sale of seats for the big match tonight has been very good, and all indications last night were for a rec ord wrestling exhibition tonight.

WIFE HAD "SWEET|E' ,
 HUSBAND CHARGES

Claiming that while he was in the service of his country, his wife was improperly conducting herself with a man known as "Sweetie," George Holmes yesterday filed suit for di- vorce against Mrs. Bessie E. Holmes.
 "Sweetie' is said to be but one of the men Mrs. Holmes is alleged to have entertained in Tempe hotel, ac- cording to the complaint, which was filed by L. NJ. Laney. Holmes also charges her, on a recent date, with being intoxicated and disorderly.
 The plaintiff says that while away he received letters from relatives and friends telling him of his wife's inn proper conduct which he alleges caused him humiliation. The couple have no children.

 AT ARCADIA TONIGHT

With Jack Woods and Gus Pappas to furnish the main event and four fast preliminaries on the program, ev- erything is set for the big w. O. w benefit wrestling match at Arcadia hall tonight. When the match is over, either Wood or Papas will be elim- mated from Phoenix sporting circles, and sport fans will know just how good some of the local talent Wood has been developing in his training really is.
 Three of the preliminary events for the big match tonight were announced yesterday by Wood. Indian Tommy Burns will clash with Jimmie Dana las a promising young Greek who made very good impression at the Soldier and Sailor club meeting two nights ago, in the opening round. In
