SPECIAL SERVICES
HELD LAST SUNDAY
COMMUNITY GATHERS TO PAY
RESPECTS TO THE SOLDIERS
WHO HAVE RETURNED

Last Sunday was a day of special
interest to the community sorround-
ing EbeneZer church when special
services were held in honor of Carl
Hemmingsen and Lawrence Jensen,
two of the splendid young men of the
community who served in the army.
A special and pleasing feature of
the service was the home welcome
sermon delivered by the pastor, Rev.
G. b. Christensen. 1t is so full of
meaning and expresses the senti-
ment of so many that we print the
sermon herewith as follows:
Welcome Home Sermon
In behalf of the Ebenezer congre-
cation / bid you boys a most heart
felt welcome-welcome to our be-
loved country, church and homes.
For a very few minutes i am go
ing to speak to you about two sub
jects, namely:
About the privilege you have had
and the stand you must take.
Let me first call your attention to
the peculiar word privilege. If we
look right into the heart of His word
we must confess that it is an impos-
sibility to measure either it's height
or its depth, its length and breadth.
Why? Because it embraces a world
of truth and blessedness. In my
opinion everything is a privilege
from our divine God. Dear boys en-
phasize that thought right in your
heart.
The privilege you have had. You
boys have had many splendid priv
ileges in this terrible world war. Let
me very briefly count some of them
before you.
You had the privilege to fight
for democracy. That is to say, ac-
eording to our grand President Alb

95 per cent of the petals have drop
ped. In localities where bees are
present this spray should be deferred
until the petals all drop, otherwise
many bees may be killed. For this
spray use four to five quarts OF lime
sulphur to fifty gallons Of water and
one pound of tpoWdered lead and sui
phate.l Ii,This spray will control the
coddling moth which produces the
worms so frequently found in apples.
A later spray given three weeks
after the second will be found bene-
fical in controlling the apple scab,
curcilo and second attack Of coddling
moth. Use same lime sulphur solu-
ton as second or Bordeaux mixture
in the form of four pounds Of copper
sulphate and four pounds OF freshly
Stacked lime to fifty gallons Of water.
These two ingredients should be mix
ed up with rs gallons of water and then
stirred together to make fifty gallons
solution In case Bordeaux is used
add one pound of powdered lead arse
nate.
For those who wish to control the
last brood of coddling moth spray dur
ing the latter part Of July or August
first of August. Use practically the
same spray as recommended for the
third spraying.

Sea Level.

Sea level in the scientific sense
means theoretical mean or average
from which elevations or depress1ons
on the earth are calculated. The coast
and geodetic survey, which Is govern
ment authority on such subjects, says:
''Mean sea level may be defined as The
surface which would be assumed by
the water of the oceans at rest If there
were no action by the wind or by the
tides due to-the attraction of the moon
and sun. The sea level surface is az
all points at right angles to Tree

Modern Slavery,

There is no legal and formal slavery
now in any Christian country. 1t sur
wives in mild form in most Moham-
medan countries. The peonage system
Of Latin American countries Is nor
much different from slavery, but rests
upon a different theory. The peon Is
not supposed to be owned as property;
he is supposed to be working to pay
debt which he owes the master.

COUNTY sUPERINTENDENTs MEET
AT IOWA CITY.

The County Superintendents OF
Iowa, who were gathered for the an
nual spring convention at Iowa City
last Wednesday, April Both, carried
out very pleasant and appropriate
surprise party on the State Supt of
Schools, A. M. Deyoe and the Deputy
State Supt, our former townsman,
Frank D. Joseph. The superintendent
met in the dining room of the CONNER
cial Club rooms at Iowa City at $50
p. NJ. Supts. Deyoe and Joseph and
their wives were the guests Of honor
at fine five course banquet. Appro
pirate entertainment was furnished
for the occasion In the nature of mus
&c and toasts. At the close Of the en-
tertainment Mr.. Deyoe and Mr.. Joseph
were each presented with a beautiful
Hampden watch and chaid as token
of appreciation from the County sup
erintendents of Iowa. 1t was very
congenial gathering and will live long
in the memory of those present. In
the retirement Of these two most eff
cient school officials the state OF Iowa
will suffer distinct loss. Both have
been very consistent workers for the
advance and progress Of all things edu-
cational. Mr.. Deyoe has done great
deal going about the state and giving
unstintingly of his service end his
time in the interest Of education. But
Frank D. Joseph deserves no less
praise. He has been, so to speak, the
man behind the gun. Through his
devotion to duty and his fair minded
management OF the affairs of the State
Superintendent office he has not only
proved himself very efficient school
man but has also won for himself in
the hearts of the schoolmen of Iowa
place Of respect and appreciation!
We wish him well and feel confident
that he will prosper in whatever line
of work he may engage in in the fu-
ture.

Perfume In the Early AGES.

From the very earliest ages man has
loved sweet odors. In the Bible we
read Of the burning of incense on the
affairs and the very word peifumery
(under which head we may include
all delicate fumes or smells) comes
from the Latin fumus, smoke or vapor.
The early Egyptians knew tie use Of
the still, and adapted It to the separa-
ton of the odOrOus principle from
fragrant plants, but the most ancient
odors were drawn from natural gums
such as camphor, myrrh and CHINA
