After vigorous lawsuit before
the district court of Davis county in
Bloomfield two plucky school
ma ans won from a couple Of school
boards in Soap Greek township who
had withheld from the young women
wages due them. The trouble grew
out of the flu epidemic in 1913. Two
country schools were closed for
several weeks and the directors re-
fused to pay for the time thus lost.
The young women stated that they
were ready to fill their part of the
contract and the jury decided that
they had the better of the argument
tricts involved.

Preacher Surprised.

According to the calendar, Rev.
MOser of the Methodist church, had
a birthday last Sunday. He observ-
ed the same in a quiet way, and was
starting on the way to another year,
when last Monday night, he was sur
priSed in a most unique manner. or
course he was at the revival services
Monday night, and at the close of
the same he and his wife made a
sick call. When they reached home
they found the house dark and lock-
ed as they had left it earlier in the
evening. 1t just happened that Mrs.
Moser unlocked the door and turn
ed on the lights; AMI 10 and behold
as the light dispelled the darkness
ed with men from their congrega-
ton. AS the lights went on these
invanders cried out as with one
voice, He forty-five.' He was then
picked up bodily and carried into his
study where he was placed in a fine,
solid oak desk chair. He was SO
surprised that for once he had moth
ing to say. Attorney A. l.. Chantry
then made a fitting presentation
the men of the congregation We're
present because they wanted him to
know that his labors and endeavors
among them had been appreciated.
That they had come to wish him
many happy returns of his natal
day. They had brought the chair as
a token Of the esteem and regard in
which he was held, and they all
hoped that when he should no
longer reside in Sidney, that he
might often sit in the chair that
they had brought and think of the
work that he had wrought and the
many we'll wishes that he had left
behind. Rev. Moser then sought to
express his thanks and appreciation.
Notwithstanding that he is generally
ready speaker, on this occasion
his words came rather slowly and in
lame fashion: They then all join
ed in singing "Blest be the ties that
bind our hearts in Christian love"
after which the men all Joined in
wishing him many more happy re-
turns. and bidding him good night,
they went on their way: home, leav-
ing a happy and surprised preacher
behind.-Sidney Herald. -

to use the New Edison for what it is worth.
Why don't you?
PRIC Els
The price Of the New Edison has increased
less than 1879 since 1914. This includes
the War Tax
Mr.. Edison has STAYED off price advance,
by personally absorbing more than half of
the increased cost Of manufacture.
Because of the exceptionally high quality
OF materials and workmanship demanded
by the Edison Laboratories and the con-
tinued scarcity of both, it may be necessary
TO advance prices. But rest assured that
this will not occur, unless Mr.. Edison <
forced to it.
