planned to the entire committee which

sentiment expressed to date is not
strongly in favor of the proposed
plan.
The committee on the state of the
church now is considering consolida-
ton of the benevolent boards of the

ried on by four separate boards, and
numerous plans have been proposed
Tor the unification of this work. The

dent CarranZa of Mexico has been due
shIefly to personal reasons in that he

j. Mcconnell told the conference last
night.
Bishop Mcconnell has had charge
OF the work of the church in Mexico
Tor the past eight years. and recent
iy returned from a trip through that
country.
He said that in his opinion no suf-
fCient cause for Intervention by the
United States in Mexico has ever yet

IF intervention comes. it will bring
10 Mexico nothing but physical benc-
fit but the abyss between the Anglo
Saxon and the Latin mind will be
deepened, further effort at Christian
advance will be handicapped and sus-
picion of the United States will be
extended to the tip of Cape Horn"
Bishop McConnelrs plan for the flu
ture is to help Mexico help herself
and TO encourage MexicanS to work
out their problems in their own way,
with self-support on the increase.

Good Hope Church Dedicated.

Last Sunday the church of Good
Hope, near Spencer Brook, was dedi-
Gated. Immanuel's Lutheran church,
Princeton, had no services upon that
day and the pastor and congregation
attended the dedicatory exercises.
Since last summer regular services
have been conducted at Spencer
Brook by Rev. Vogel, and some weeks
ago the congregation organized and de-
cided to purchase the Christian
church. Rev. Henning's congregation
of Glenwood City, Wis, donated the
altar, pulpit and communion set and
Immaunel's Lutheran beautiful pull
pit bible.
The pastor loci, assisted by Rev
Spieler Of Canova, S. D., consecrated
the church, which was beautifully dec
Grated by the members, in the name
of the Triune God.
In the morning Rev. Spielel
preached the festival sermon from
Psalms "a, which Rev. Vogel con-
Quoted the altar sermon. In the af.
ternoon the pastor loci preached from
Psalms 26:6-8 and Rev. Spieler took
the text Of his address from Luke 19
41-44. The choir Of Immanuel's church
rendered very inspiring hymnal selec
tions.

Calvin Has Terrifying Experience

Calvin Has Terrifying Experience.
There is story afoat that six hogs
which Calvin Olson was driving on
the river bottom escaped and swan
the stream, and that Calvin waded
across in pursuit. While running at
top speed he suddenly disappeared
he had dropped into we'll the sides
of which were unscalable. He yelled
until he was hoarse and said his
prayers, but no response came from
above until he had been in the hole
about two hours, when three small
boys who were homeward bound from
fishing discovered him. The little fell
lows tried to pull him out with their
fish poles but this proved of no avail.
Then one of them ran to a farm
house, described the situation, and the
farmer, carrying a rope, hastened to
the we'll and, with the assistance of
the boys, hauled Calvin to the surface.
A more bedraggled specimen of hui
manlty probably never was seen. His
shirt was torn to shreds, he was COW
cred with slime and the skin was
scraped from the tip of his nose. He
stated that in the descent his watch
had dropped from his pocket and sunk
in the mud, but said it was no good,
anyway. He realizes that it was a
lucky hour when those boys heard his
call for help and whom he rewarded
with sufficient money to buy new fish
poles, but asked them to keep the in
cident mum. The farmer who effected
the rescue would accept no reward, SO
Calvin invited him to come to his
shop and help himself to all the meat
he wanted.
So far the hogs have not been heard
from.

DR.. Armitage Writes.

We are in receipt of letter from
DR.. T. l.. Armitage, written upon his
arrival in Vancouver, B. c., on Aug
ust 10, which is, in substance, as fol-
lows:
He and Mrs. Armitage arrived in
Winnipeg on the preceding Thursday
and registered at the Fort Gary hotel,
which is very imposing edifce Of Ia
stories and has a beautiful marble
front for which the guests, of course,
pay. The rooms are small, poorly
decorated and the guests are extreme
ly lucky if they can get one with a
bath. DR.. and Mrs. Armitage were
on the second floor Of the building and
had to pay 81 day for a room with
bath, whereas, the doctor says, bet
ter accommodations and service could
be obtained in Minneapolis for 81 a
day. The town itself is beautifully
laid out with very wide, clean asphalt
streets. There are also beautiful
parks and gardens. The best cuts of
meat sell in Winnipeg for % cents
per pound and the remainder is
scaled down in proportion.
When he and Mrs. Armitage re-
turned to the hotel from an automo-
bile sightseeing tour he says he was
suddenly taken sick and the clerk, a
very fine English fellow, summoned
the house physician. Cup in that do
main Of King George, it is we'll to
state, physician from the United
States is not permitted to write a
prescription even for himself.) Upon
presenting his card and being asked
by very dignified but sociable prac-
titioner of His Majesty's realm from
what dire disease he was suffering,
DR.. Armitage replied: "From every
id ailment in the British nomena-
clature of diseases" Adjusting his
monocle, the gentlemanly physician
asked: ''Would you not like to die
tate the component parts of your IA
vorite prescription to me, Brother 2"
To which, of course, DR.. Armitage re-
piled in the affirmative, proceeded to a
drug store, had the prescription COM
pounded, and in Is minutes after TAX
ing the first dose the patient was him
self again. At the drug store DR..
Armitage ascertained that the king of
England uses virtually the same pre-
scription when suffering from multi
|plicity of ailments.
Mr.. and Mrs. Armitage intended
stopping at Calgary but, in conse-
quence of the fearful heat (117 in the
shade) continued on their trip
The doctor sends his kindest regards
to all.

A Disappointment.

The acceptance speech of Governor
Cox of Ohio is a disappointment. In
stead of clean-cut statements relative
to important issues he devoted most of
his time trying to justify himself for
his espousal of Wilson's league of ma
tions hobby, which is in direct opposi-
tion to that majority of the democratic
party which fought for and won his
nomination. Faribault Pilot.

the people in the county would not
favor decreasing the road and bridge
fund because we certainly need more
money than is today available for the
lateral roads tributary to these main
trunk highways.
Since the one-mill tax went in
to effect Mile Laos county has
received $16O,793.74 as state aid and
has paid to the state $31,269.O4, thus
leaving balance Of $129,523.7O in
our favor. We have received $211,-
433.O1 as federal aid, making a total
Of $340,956.71. In other words, this
immense sum of $34O,956.71, all de-
rived outside Of Mile Lacs county, has
been spent on the highways in this
county. There is provision in
Amendment Nc. 1 that will make it
possible for the state legislature to
refund all money spen.. by the coun-
ty on any road included in this Trunk
Highway system. The refund that
would be due Mile Laos county is
$161 ,216.74.
M. Bsbcock says the Scenic high
way passing through Elk River,
Princeton s.nd Onamia will be one Of
the first projects to be completed if
the amendment is adopted. Work
would then be Immediately commenced
on grading the road between Elk
River and Zimmerman. Everyone in
this vicinity knows this is the only
poor piece Of road between Princeton
and Minneapolis, and it is in misera-
BILE condition. Now only six years
ago this same road had just been
graded and grave1-surfaced end was
the banner stretch of road between
here and Osseo: Last year it was in
bad condition and this year it is
worse. This should be convincing evil
dence to anyone that gravel-surfaced
roads will not stand up under the heavy
traffic such as that on the Scenic
highway. There is not one word in
the amendment about paving any
road but it is seH-cvidcnt fact that
certain roads will have to be paved
It does not seem possible that any
citizen Of Mile Lacs county, consider
ing the proposition from a business
standpoint, will vote against the
amendment. A few black sheep will
creep into the best of flocks, and SO
there are certain individuals in each
party working against it. However
there is not single political party
as such-republican, democratic, non
partisan or socialist that is opposing
Amendment No. 1.

our teachers.
II want you to take more active
interest in the school teachers and in
public employees. The teachers Of this
country are miserably underpaid.
You know that when you give teachers
poor pay and drive them into other
fields, you are robbing your children
and all the other children of the nation
of what is justly theirs-a good edu-
cation. It will do us little good to talk
of American standards of living, to tell
our children to stick to the American
standards and then pay the teachers
so poorly that they can't live up to
those standards themselves"

OLDEST WOMAN
TO REGISTER IN
MARYLAND, IO2

ROCKVILLE, October 13 (Spe-
ciaD.-There is believed to be lit
tie doubt that Mrs. Augusta Lam
son, who registered at Silver
Spring, this county, yesterday, is
the oldest woman and probably the
oldest person on the registration
books in Maryland. She gave her
age as 102.
Mrs. Lamson made the trip to
and from the registration Office in
an automobile, but entered the
about with surprising spryness,
answered all questions with a
promptness which showed her
mental faculties to be unusually
alert, and signed both registra-
ton books without the use of
glasses. The registrars seemed
much surprised to learn that she
had passed the century mark.
Mrs. Lamson is a native of Maine.
near Silver Spring. where she
makes her home with her nieces,
the Misses Thompson. She affili-
ated as a republican. and declared
her purpose of voting the straight
republican ticket.
Probably the next Oldest woman
to register in this county was Mrs.
Myers, who also registered at
Silver Spring. She gave her age
as ninety-four-and, like Mrs. Lam
son, proved her faculties to be in
good condition.
Some other elderly women to
register in the county were Mrs.
Jane NJ. Gather, eighty-seven,
who registered at Rockville;
Mrs. Mary J. Kirkpatrick. eighty
four, who registered at Rockville;
Mrs. Mary j. p Waters, eighty-one,
who registered at Clarksburg. and
Mrs. Laura R. Carroll, seventy
nine, who registered at Potomac.

.FLAYS LEAGUE AT RALLY
OF HARDING DEMOCRATS
Henry E. Davis Especially Opposes
Article 1O-Thinks No Pact
Needed.

In a bitter denunciation of the league
of nations, Henry F.. Davis. former
United States Attorney for the District,
thrilled more than 400 Harding demo-
Gratis at rally Of their club at Pythtan
Hall last night.
Mr.. Davis, who was introduced by F.
Edward Mitchell. president of the or
ganization, as contemporary at
Princeton Of President Wilson and his
that nominated him. discussed the para
mount issue of the campaign from a
legal standpoint and condemned it as
the most monstrouS proposition ever
offered the American people"
Declaring that the United States was
dragged into the war with Germany:
and for no other reason than to defend
it's coasts, institutions and homes" he
rdiculed the claims of the democratic
leaders Tho ARE touring the country
shrieking about the spread OF a world
democracy"
1--WE had no such altruistic. ideas,
he said. when we entered the war.
battle in self-defense."
He said that it was a common. though
erroneous, notion that treaty was
necessary to terminate a war. and quot
ing from eminent authorities on inter
national law gave three methods OF
he said, was the cessation of hostilities
stating that when two states which
have been at war stop fighting the wal
is over"
Mr.. Davis said that in the case OF
our war with Germany, so far as we
were concerned, the war was over
when the fighting stopped, and then
arose the question whether any treaty
or other understanding was necessary
to define our future relations with
that power.
"By participating in the negotiations
leading to the treaty of Versailles, ne
added. 1.-The President manifestly
thought that some treaty was neces-
sary on the part of the United States.
From this view l personally dissent:
and especially 1 dissent totally and
vigorously from the proposition that
assent of the United States to any ex-
tent or for any purpose"
Mr.. Davis attacked the covenant,
especially Article 10, which he said
was preposterous in so far as America
was concerned.
He said that there was one phase of
Article 10, "a most important consider
alton which seems generally, if not
wholly, to have escaped notice.
THE undertaking of the members of
the league as expressed by this ar
ticle is to preserve as against ex-
ternal aggression the territorial in
tegrity and existing political indie
pendence of all members of the
league Does any one in his senses
conceive the possibility of any such
aggression against the United States?
at is, therefore, demonstration
that so far as we are concerned this
is what the law calls a
naked undertaking, a contract with
out consideration, and one out of
which no obligation arises and upon
which no claim can be based"
