ALL DAD DOES is DIG

There was a movement a while
back to establish a day for dad.
Father was going to have one
day of respect and tribute along
with mother.
But dad is such an easy going un-
romantic person that even the holt
da,, maniacs couldn't get up much
enthusiasm.
And when a holiday maniac gets
discouraged it must be dreary top
ic indeed, for the maniac delights in
nothing so much as injecting half
dozen more holidays into an already
overburdened calendar.
With the returning of the legions
to school we feel that dad should get
few words of sympathy.
Teacher and mother and pupil
all have their kind words, but dad
gets nothing; all he does is dig.
And how the poor man has to dig
this fall.
The children have to be dressed
decently; they have to be equipped
with books and tools and charts and
maps, and the hundred and one ex-
pensive incidentally that modern man
ual and technical training demad.
Shoes for a family of four will
take a weeks pay check of the av-
sage laborer.
School books change faster than
do the styles.
A simple little dress for the oldest
girl costs more than fathers suit did
a few years back
And the knee pants suits of Eddie
suits that get shabby and tattered
and patched So quickly eat up dol
lars like waffles do butter.
And how to afford enough fresh
milk and butter and meat for grow
ing children is something else
again.
And as to rents-there they're i'm
possible.
So dad digs and digs and stands
off the butcher and keeps the doc
tor and dentist waiting; and gets a
bit shabbier and more frayed around
the edges ever. month, and keeps on
scratching; hoping that sometime,
somehow, he will dig out 90 day
light and breathe contented
breath
Poor dad! Mother has her trou-
bles but she also has her biograph-
ers and her chroniclers, but dad.
who is beneath the entire load. and
who Just barely stumbles through.
gets nothing but bills.
Cheer up. dad; you're manufac-
turing citizens and a free nation.

EVANGELICAL CHURCH NOTES

Rev Buente's services on last
Sunday We're much appreciated. A
number of his people also attended.
On next Sabbath at 1000 a. m,
Sabbath SCHOOL, 1900 a. m, an
echo meeting given b. the w. M s.
convention delegates. Don't miss
it. Remember the offering for
the w. M. s., and let it be a real
liberal one
Services at 500 p. m. Come.
The church on last Sabbath had
the rare treat of meeting Mr.. and
Mrs. Kendall of Texas who had
been members of the church 20
years ago and had not forgotten
it's benefits.
The general conference of the
Evangelical association begins Oc-
tober 4th and will continue for four
weeks at Cedar Falls If We are
correct this will be the first general
conference in Iowa of this church
in Iowa in 100 years. The work
will be great and the union of the
Evangelical Association and United
Evangelical church make it a spe-
cial conference, perhaps without a
precedent. After more than rs
years of separate organizations and
work sometimes not without con-
f1ict they come together, result of
prayer and Gods help. We know
of no church which was divided for
so long and whose conflict was so
severe that has ever again reunited
1t will be a special manifestation of
Gods grace. After the general
conference has acted 1t must go
back to the annual conferences of
each church and be ratified by a
two-thirds vote, which will no
doubt carry. The action will be
announced by the bishops and prob
ably a special conference called
and the great work of reconstruc-
tion begun This will busy them
for a year and a half or more and
calls forth continually level heads
loving hearts and earnest prayers
to God for this work.
The special revival meeting to
begin September 22nd has been
postponed as the committee on the
forward movement in the United
Evangelical church could not let
Rev. Bamford go before Nov. 10th
so the quarterly conference decided
to wait for Rev. Bamford of Har-
Ian, until November 10th, but hope
he may be able to come then with
out fail. Let the church and its
friends remember this in their
prayers. ~
The w M. S. meets Thursday at
2:30 pm, at the home of Mrs. w,

whether IL given any, choice as to
his response to the summons so
certain TO all, he would have chosen
any other way to embark for the
farther shore where a noble wife al
ready eternally crowned awaited
him.
Thus with each swing of the pen
dulum of time our older citizens
pass on into that great yelled realm
from whence there is no return
But with abiding faith there is
nothing to fear but the most cher
ished prize assured of realization,
the immortality of the soul.
Few men participated more spir-
itedlv in the activities about Lewis
burg than Mr.. Jacob Wolfe. The
only invention of present use known
to his youth was the steamboat. His
life extended over the period which
saw the construction of the canal,
and railroad, the invention of the
telegraph, sewing machine, harvest
er, telephone, use of kerosene cleo
trio light, range finder, submarine,
automobile and the phantom wing
ed messenger of the air, the aero
plane.
And IL was back to the primitive
means of transportation, boating,
that Mr.. Wolfe reverted with keen
est delight. He knew every
treacherous eddy on the Susque-
hanna from here to the Chesapeake,
for he was an expert riverman. And
as canal boat captain he knew ev-
cry lock-tender from here to New
York. h..
When the flame of war enveloped
the countrv in '61-65 with dashing
readiness he projected himself into
the great struggle with the ardor
and intensity of the loyal American
he always was. This sturdiness of
resolution also found expression in
his political convictions, for there
was never any questioning his re-
publicanism which adherence was
fixed and answering.
Mr.. Wolfe was a good, useful,
helpful citizen and a Christian de-
voted to church and country and
family, and his long life has added
much to the human uplift. And at
the very eclipse of his long earthly
tenure we. saw him personally inter
ested in a most unselfish wav in a
poor unfortunate Thus to the last
was his hand extended TO cheer and
lift up. And so for him will be
extended hand in fulfilment of the
promise involved in the Masters
words. For to the Least Of Mine"

hood in this community and has a

young man, a hustler, and in every
way worthy of the bride whose
heart and hand he won.
