Prevailing styles in mems clothing will not
be changed in many respects this autumn; and
the increase of price will be just fifteen per
cent, saws the chairman of the national de-
signers' association. Part of the responsibility
is placed on curtalment of production. Part
of the remedy is also indicted by the same of
fetal who says in published interview: The
reduction of prices rests entirely with the pub
lie. If they continue to disregard the custom
Of buying new suit or more every season, it is
bound to have lasting effect on the market. .
He also passes the buck to the retailers who
must put on fifteen per cent to obtain their
present profits, he declares.

Having served the Dawson church

LARGE CONGREGATION
GREETED new PASTOR
REV. S. F. LOWE breaches
INITIAL SERMON AT BAP-
list CHURCH SUNDAY.

An audience that filled the spacious
auditorium assembled at the Baptist
church Sunday evening to extend a
typical Dawson welcome to the new
pastor Rev. S. F. Lowe. No other ser
vice was held in the city, the pastors
and congregations of the Presbyterian
Methodist churches uniting in the wor-
ship OF their sister denomination. Mr..
Lowe, who comes to his present pas
torate from Tennille, was deeply
touched by the fraternal spirit of the
assembly and the genuinenesS OF its
greeting, and in well-chosen words ex-
pressed his appreciation.
The sermon of the evening was bas-
ed upon these words: Thou shalt love
the Lord thy God with all thy. heart
and with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind" This is the first and great COM
mandment. And the second is like I'M
to it: Thou shalt love thy neighbor
as thyself." Matthew 22:37-39 The
speaker stated that the progress OF the
world in the past has been made in
cycles, each cycle presenting crisis
which held the possibility OF great
achievement or of retrogression. We
are now in one of these transition pc
RODS, he explained, and must do our
utmost to meet the expectations OF the
Almighty and the needs of the world.
In discussing the world conditions the
preacher said that humanity's need to-
day is not religion, but Christ. He is
the remedy for sin and the worlds
hope of redemption. Men have looked
for deliverance from the bondage of
iniquity to education, to law, to the
schemes of social betterment, but have
looked in vain. There is none other
name under heaven given among men
whereby we must be saved but the
name OF Jesus. The message closed
with an earnest appeal to all to lift
Christ little higher in the home, in
business, in society and throughout
the world, manifesting in their lives the
love which the Master declared was
the fulfilling of the law.
A particularly pleasing feature OF
the service was a musical selection by
male quartette.

A most enjoyable affair of the past
week was a Halloween party given
by the eighth grade at the home OF
Florence Nasworthy. The guests all
came in mask, bringing their pound,
and were met at the entrance by
ghosts who led them to the punch
bowl. Here old mother witch served
lemonade and ginger cake. Next they
were led by the ghosts into the house,
which was appropriately decorated for
the occasion. While some were hav-
ing their fortunes told by the witches,
others were being carried by the
ghosts through the Chamber of Hor-
rors," a thrilling adventure which
proved worthy of the name. After
bobbing for apples and chewing cher
ries on a string, all were invited to
the dining room, where Hallowe' EN-
refreshments were served. Games were
played amid much hilarity until late
hour.
Wednesday night Shellman came
over and played fast game OF basket
ball with Dawson high. There was
some splendid playing on both sides
the game, except LOT lew
more fouls than usual. Our team play
ed as follows: Watkins, center; Jor-

The STA Conference

"HE attitude of the Allies in the Spa
conference has been one of reason
~ able Cancellation, joined with firm in
sistence upon the Treaty's basic terms. To
Germany's plea that it virtually impos-
sib1e at present to cut her army to the specl-
fled Minimum they have granted a time ex-
tension to January 1, 1921. To her argu-
ments touching coal deliveries to France and
Belgium, they have replied with substantial
reduction in the monthly amounts originally
called for AS to reparations, they are mani
testify disposed to temper absolute justice
with common sense and consideraten ess.
At the same time they have made it plain
that temporizing and evasion will not be toll
Grated. Concessions in matters Of detail are
not to be construed abandonment of the
major conditions of peace. Failure to live up
to the essentials of her contract will lay Ger
many liable to renewed and extended mill
tary occupations and the Allied Premiers have
taken pains to emphasize that previous init
nations to that effect were by no means
bluffs The Treaty of Versailles is practi-
cal document, drawn to accomplish certain
fundamentals of justice and security which
the political regime east of the Rhine now
| seems squirming to get around. Enforced
the compact must be, or become another scrap
of paper.
It is to be hoped that Germany's wiser
counselors will see the situation in the light of
their own country's and the worlds common
interests, and will act accordingly. "The
| measure of her progress in establishing work.
| ing relations with her European neighbors"
| it has been truly said, twill be the honesty
| of her intentions in the near future" Evil
dences of bad faith at this juncture would be
grievously chilling if not disastrous to the
growth of constructive goodwill. The inter-
ests of all concerned require that Germany
| get back to basis of normal production as
| speedily as possible and that trade relations
| between her and the outside world be re-
stored as soon and fully as may be- But
processes to that end will be checked and
overturned If she shows herself not to be
depended upon in the peace contract
