BAPTIST PEOPLE
SERVED SUPPER
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH AND
THEIR FRIENDS EAT SUPPER
TOGETHER LAST NIGHT

One of the pleasantest events of re-
cent days was the supper last night
at 80 given by the Woman's Union
of the First Baptist church to mem
bers of the church and congregation.
Snowy tables banked the long plat
form of the chapel and the front of
the church Tall vases of cut flowers
rose airily from the chaste array of
silver. china and the tempting dishes.
FavOrs at each plate contained the
printed menu and the program of
toasts.
After supper Mrs. Eunice Knapp,
selected by the women as toastmis-
tress, in most happy manner in
troduced the first speaker. The gen
eral subject was tsProblems of Re
construction Mrs. Sam Jensen re-
sponded to Good Roads," The need
of good roads was ably and very clev-
ely handled. There are many roads
in the church. They must be kept in
good condition and in a very definite
and charming way Mrs. Jensen point
ed out how it could be done. Prof.
Eugene Hawley spoke on "The Man
Without a job" Mr.. Hawley has
well defined idea how to handle the
labor situation but he was most con-
cerned last night as to the man in
the church who did not have a very
definite responsibility and specific
task. Clinton Wilson responded to
tay-in-School Campaign" and pre-
sented in a clear way the need of boys
and girls continuing their education.
But the most alarm need is for all to
be in the Sunday School. Parents
need to bring their children and not
alone to send them. 1t was such a
clear and forceful presentation OF
prevention rather than cure that eve
ry parent ought to hear. The pastor
of the church, Dean Hamilton, was
the last speaker and the subject was,
sBoIshevike.'' After briefly reviewing
the origin and menace of Bolshev1sm,
Mr.. Hamilton saw the same spirit in
the church life where there was an
apathy as to assuming responsible
hties The women were organized
and doing a splendid work. The men
had no organization. Would they en-
ter a Baptist Brotherhood? The men
happily responded and an organiza-
ton was launched before they left the
tables The following officers were
elected: Prof. Eugene Hawley, pres
ident; Prof. L. E. Longley, vice pres
ident; c. H. Bratton, secretary; Merit
on Waterman, treasurer.
The men expect soon to give the re-
turn supper.

OLDEST MERCHANT
CELEBRATES TODAY
G.. WEBER STARTED BUSINESS in
MOSCOW FORTY YEARS AGO
STILL HERE

April "a, 1879, G. Weber arrived in
Moscow with a small stock of har-
ness and harness tools in wagon
coming from WalIa Walla to open a
harness shop in the little village
with one store and a postoffice and
about rs inhabitants. The trip was
made by team from Walla Walla, and
Snake river was crossed at Penew-
ava, where there was a ferry in op-
GRAFTON. Mr. Weber was not yet 81
years old, and he came to this new
country to build up business and he
succeeded in his ambition.
Moscow consisted of a store, of
which A. A. Lieuallen, deceased, was
proprietor. Mr.. Lieual1en was also
postmaster of the village, which had
about rs inhabitants. Some farming
had been done around the town and
the country was beginning to settle
up with homesteaders who had learn
ed of the wonderful fertility of the
soil. The town began to grow and
the population to increase rapidly.
There was some business from the
very first. but it was largely repair
work. Mr. Weber's arrival here was
a boon to the settlers who needed har-
ness repair work done and needed new
harness, collars, etc. But harvest
came and help was scarce and Mr..
Weber closed his shop and went into
the harvest field and helped to save
the crop. He did this for two rea-
sons. One was that his help was need
ed by the farmers and the other was
that he could earn good wages. Aft
er harvest he reopened his shop and
did an increasing business. He pros
pered and his business grew and de-
veloped until in 1892 he had 10 men
employed.
Then came the panic of 1898. The
best wheat crop ever produced in the
rain. Farmers and others could not
pay their bills. Mr. Weber had $751;
900 in notes and collected less than
10 per cent. He, like thousands of
others in the west. "went broke"
through no fault of his own and no
fault of his debtors They simply
could not pay him.
But he remained in business and
got new start and is still here. He
has seen the town grow from rs in
habitants to become one of the best
business centers in the Northwest. He
married in 1885 and has raised fam
lily and his son, John, born in Mos
COW, is in business in the same shop
with his father. Mr.. Weber, senior,
is celebrating today, the 10th ami
versary of his arrival in Moscow. by
working at his trade He is the old
est man in business in Moscow today,
in point of years of continaotss busi-
ness in the town and there are few
in the west who have been in business
in the same town a longer time than
he. He is still hale and hearty and
does splendid work and invites all his
old-time friends and customers to call
on him.

Y. N. c. A. WORK
IN COUNTY PLANNED
DISTRICT SECRETARY RUNYAN
MET WITH LOCAL WORKERS
WEDNESDAY NIGHT

A meeting of business men and
others who are interested in Y. M.
C "A. work was held in the. office of
Judge w. F. Morgareidge last night
and plans outlined for work in Latah
county. 1t is hoped to organize the
county with club in every town and
general headquarters at Moscow. E..
M. Runyan, district secretary, with
headquarters at Portland, met with
the business men and outlined the
plans for the work. Today Mr.. Run
yam went to Troy to take up the work
there. When the meeting in Judge
Morgareidge's office adjourned the
good roads meeting in the office of
the secretary of the chamber of COM
merce and took up the work there,
pledging their support for the high
way bond movement. Mr.. Runyan
said: "The men took off their coats
and went to work for good roads and
if they show the same energy in the
Y. M. C. A. work the movement in
Moscow and Latah county will be car
ried to success" Following are the
plans for the work that Mr.. Run
yam is now carrying on in Idaho and
other sections of the northwest:
1. 1t is the plan of the Young
Mems Christian Association to meet
the needs of young men and boys in
country communities, in towns, vii
lagos, and country places too small
to support local building or an
employed secretary.
2. 1t is, as a rule, a non-equip-
ment work, that is, it needs no rooms,
buildings, or equipment not already
provided by the public and private
institutions of the community, max
OF 1c
and halls for it's meetings.
3. 1t is a movement rather than an
institution, and as such recognizes the
more fundamental offices of the
home, school and church in training
the youth, but finds a field by work
ing with its specialized methods and
programs.
a. 1t regards rural county as
the unit of organization, and enlists
a committee of citizens to direct the
work. This county committee en-
ploys county secretary for his full
time to execute a full program of
work. The money for this is raised
in the county by volunteer gifts.
5. 1t develops local organizations
of the Y. M. C. A. in many centers
of the county and organizes the men
and boys into groups for efficient
work in the community.
6. 1t arranges programs of service
and holds meetings of these groups
at which the religious, social, educa-
tional and physical needs of the boys,
men and the community are studied
and remedies provided.
Z. 1t enlists local volunteer leaders
for carrying on these activities, dis
covering new leadership for commun-
ity service, growth, and cooperation
in country towns. It's purpose is to
help young men to help themselves
into the largest life of service.
8. 1t seeks in every way to develop
the real fact of cooperation among
people and institutions for the larg-
est effectiveness.
9. 1t approaches it's task from the
of the religious needs of
the young men and boys of the COM
through taking into it's pro-
gram every phase of public endeavor.
To- 1t believes that the resident
forces of any community are it's re-
demptive forces, and does not attempt
