GETCHELL CHURCH NEWS

This church was asked to raise
$4,000 of the 100000 which the Con-
gregational church throughout the
state are going to raise. This amount
covers all the expenses for missions
during the coming five years. Both
foreign and home.
The committee which had charge of
the drive here found the people very
ready to cooperate in raising our ap-
portionment. All the friends of the
church were called upon to contribute
and the response from everybody was
very gratifying.
DR.. William Ewing Of Scranton, Pa,
was with US three days and told us of
the purposes for which this money is
being raised.
The committee feels very grateful
to all the friends who so generously
helped them to raise this amount.

STRAW FOR
MAKING PAPER

The world, in few years, may have
to fall back for its supply of news
print paper upon the straw of wheat
and other grains which is now largely
wasted, if the. rapid destruction of
Canadian pulpwood forests continues.
This was the statement of c. Price
Green of Toronto, industrial commits
sioner of the Canadian Railways, at
the fifth annual exposition of Chem
ical Industries here. Mr.. Price-Green
addressed the convention of Canadian
Fields for Industrial Development"
"The newspapers of Chicago Malone
said Mr.. Price Green, CONSUME daily
more than 5000 spruce trees of aver
age size. One edition of Chicago's
largest newspaper requires the spruce
of thirty acres of forest.
"With but fifteenth of the
worlds population, the United States
consumes one-half of the worlds pro-
duction of paper. At the present rate
of consumption and destruction by
fire. insects and fungus growths, one
is forced to the conclusion that the
time is not far distant when a sub
stitute for spruce in the making Of
neWs-print paper will have to bt
found and one of the most likely
sources of supply is to be found ir
the vast quantities of straw from the
grain growing areas at the presen'
time being wasted
e Mr.. Green said that Canada has the
largest forest area in the British en-
pire and it's preeminence as paper
producing country lies in its posses
sion of $4,000 square miles of pulp
wood forests, which. it is estimated
will yield thousand million cords Of
pulpwood. Upon these forests the
United States depends largely for its
print paper.
"The more important of these for
ests," said Mr.. Price Green, "lie along
the Canadian National Railways in
the, provinces of Ontario, Quebec
New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and
British Columbia and support the
leading manufacturing industry of
the Dominion. In 1890, Canada's ex-
port of pulp and paper products
amounted to only $120. In 1918, they
reached total Of $71 900, ,00O."

two Epworth Leagues in Valley City
from the Epworth M. E. church and

There was just enough cold in the

liable help was given in the coffee
making and in the doing of other nee
essary things by Mr.. Ed. Rood who
generously gave his time and interest
to make the 4 day interesting and a
pleasure to all who were there.
A program of an informal nature
was carried out in the auditorium fol-
lowing the dinner. It was discovered
that there was present in the group a
person who for want of better name
was generally recognized as a "Brok-
en-Down League" corps Of physi-
clans and nurses was hastily called to-
gether and decided, upon a careful
diagnosis, that an operation was nec-
essary to save the life of the patient.
The operation revealed the presence
and the removal of such things as
yards of red tape, Ford crank, a
tennis racket, excelsior, etc. The sig
nifcance of each of these was appar-
ent to all. After giving the victim
some oil of gladness and spirits of
helpfulness he was able Immediately
to walk from the operating table. His
cure was really marvelloub. Miss
Margery Galley gave two readings in
pleasing way. Rev. Philips of
Wheatland spoke briefly. Miss Mar
gurelle Chambard sang two solos aft
er which Rev. j.. S. Wilds recited
"Elder Lambs Donation" at the close
Of brief remarks. Miss Florence Day.
idson of the Norwegian Methodist
church also sang two solos.
Credit is due Miss Eliza Barr and
her assistants who did so much to
make the affair success. Miss Barr
said that next year plans would be un-
dertaken to have large district meet
ing of the leaguers.
There was on exhibition fine COL
lection of voluntary contributions
which are to be sent to Asbury Hospi-
tai in Minneapolis. These, consisted of
canned fruits, canned vegetables of
one kind or another. Different men,
mers Of the league contributed these
articles of food.

pastor LYON
GIVEN CLADHAND


The pastor of a church is seldom
the whole show and in addition show
cred with bouquets-but Rev. w. C.
Lyon, returned pastor of the First
Congregational church, recently ar
rived from Coblenz, Germany, where
he had been doing war work with the
army of occupation, was the whole
show last night at gathering of
members and congregation of the
church who gathered in the Guild
rooms Of the church to extend the re-
turned pastor the "glad hand Of well
come" 1t was a real, harmonious
meeting, with everybody in a happy
vein, and each one truly glad to see
and welcome the pastor back on the
job. '...-.>.
The first thing on the program was
the eats, which were served by the
guilds along about 6:3O, each guest
standing in line and getting their
"victuals" in turn as they passed
around the serving counters in the
kitchen. They got very appetizing
loy-out from the ladies and that put
each and every one in mellow and
happy frame of mind. Following this
Col. White acted as chairman of the
meeting and proceeded in his pleas
ing manner introduced the victims
who had to furnish the program Of
the evening. The first number was a
solo by Mrs. w. T. Craswell and it
was so pleasing that she had to re-
spond to a vigorous encore. Miss
Johnson was then introduced and gave
very nicely couple of readings but
the audience wouldn't let her retire
until she responded to an encore. Ev-
erybody enjoys the violin solos of
Prof. Knute Froysaa and SO it was last
night when he responded so cheerfully
to contribute to the pleasure of the
people present by his solos. He re-
sponded to the encore which was ac-
corded to him. Miss Hazel Nelson,
who was over in France working with
the boys in helping make their con-
ditions better and more pleasant, was
the next one called upon to tell some
of her experiences over there. 1t
seems that Col. White, Col. Mudgett,
Major Ritchie and others had it all
fixed up between them not to let any
thing slip out of the doings over there
that should not be known, but never
the less with all her caution, once in
awhile she did let out hint OCCASION
ally that these fellows were not so
lonesome as they might be because it
was recited that at dance there were
several hundred soldiers and only four
girls and as far as could be learned the
Valley City bunch were not wall flow
ers at that party by any means which
shows they are good rustlers when it
comes down to getting partners for a
dance. Col. White admitted that he
danced every one on the program.
Miss Nelson is very interesting
talkerq and her recital was of much
interest to- those: present. At this
juncture Col. White introduced "the
whole show" which was Rev. w. C.
Lyon, and about this time things be-
gan to happen. A little girl stepped

social and community organizer and
~ worker for a number of years. At the
entrance Of America into war, he was

task of protecting the workers upon
munitions from bad community condi-
tions. In more than two hundred cit
les Mr.. Butler and his group under
took the betterment of housing, edu-
cational recreation, social and moral
conditions. In some twenty cities
which the government erected, out
right, Mr.. Butler brought about the
erection of recreation halls and huge

Mr.. Lyon was certainly nonplused
for the moment at this shower of
bouquets-public men usually get
brickbats-but he expressed his pleas
ure at the very cordial reception. ac-
corded to him and of the happy feel
ing within him of being back in Valley
City on the job. Mr.. Lyon will give
more Of his experiences abroad Sun
day and other days to follow. The
program was supposed to close by a
duet by Mrs. Craswell and Mrs. Knute
Froysaa, who pleased the audience SO
much that they had to respond to an
encore. Then Mr.. Lyon chided Col
White for overlooking his name on the
program and called on that gentleman
for remarks. The colonel, knowing
that Mrs. White was present, had to
be guarded in his remarks about his
experiences over in France, and while
he thought he was an adept at cam
oufaging we miss our guess if after
he got home his better half didn't give
him a grueling examination of his ac-
tions in France after his telling about
those dances and then writing back tc
