SCHOOL,, ITEMS

The school was we'll attended on the
ninth which was Mothers day. There
were many mothers present to enjoy the
program in which high and fitting
tribute was paid to mother. Visitors
introduced were Mr.. A. p. Stephen of

pointed and helpful Many thanks to
painted and helpful Many thanks to
those who helped to make it so the ar
rungcments for the celebration of
NJ other s day was a decided success.
The two new classes organized on
last Sabbath made a good showing.
Now our next move shall be to organ
ize a men s class. 1t is very important
that women should know scri pture but
70 less important that men should know.
We talk about women putting them
selves in men s places, but when 1t
comes to church and Sunday school the
men seem to think they have no place.
Through the Sunday school and church
is the only sure way to success.
The lesson for the Sixteenth is Vic
tory under Samuel, First Samuel 7:2-17.

afternoon, according to the testimony
offered by witnesses in the City court
this morning. Adam Kubel was call
ed for dinner by his wife and started

for all fight ensued. An officer was
called and arrested all three on a
charge of breach of the peace. The
case against the husband. Adam Ku-
bel, was nolled by Judge Bartlett,
while his wife and the star boarder
each paid a fine of $25 and costs in

terfere as she did yesterday when
she tried to prevent the policeman
from arresting her husband.
