CHURCH AND, SCHOOL

The school is an undis- puted necessity. It's door is one through which most of us must pass, and have entered, we find it's course so laid that we climb almost imperceptibly step by step, to a knowledge and understanding that we could hardly attain otherwise. True, there are such men as Abraham Lincoln, who lacking school advantages dug the knowledge out of the books at hand, but how many of us possess the qualities required for such success?
 No man reaches maturity without realizing the value of the school or regretting his failure to avail himself of it's every advantage. It is equal ly true that every man comes at some time to a realization that the church holds great CT influence than the school in the shaping usefulness of his life. The church and school are the open doors of oppor- tunity for intellectual, moral and spiritual development. The personal benefit derived depends on the attitude of the individual.
 Standing aloof from and criticizing the school, absent ing yourself from the church, a skeptic and ,criticiser, you de- rive little good from them and lessen their usefulness to the community Taking advan- tage of the opportunity they offer, there comes enlargement of vision and enrichment of heart and life that is practical ly unattainable in any other way.
 People are easily prejudiced and biased in. their judge ments and opinions. Guard your mental processes.
 Don't condem a method for one fault in it you find; it is the trend of all the months of experiment. that tells the story. Just how far you can discrim- mate in the outward expres- sion or demonstration of an or organization, what is it's under lying inspiration and power, just how right, and sincere that organization is, is up to your mental grasp and ability to discern through the dust in your eyes Believe the Bible save the mote in your eye.)
 Try and get clear view and look before you leap, in other words know what you are talk ing about before you publicly criticize.-Contributed.

ALOVELY BOOK PARTY ponorter for The News Tells of
 Elaborate Card Party

On last Monday evening Mesdames Fletcher Lewis, Ola Scales and Miss Lou McCrory Entertained at the palatial home of Mrs. Lewis with a rock party, that was beauti- fully planned in every detail. The winter months having glided so serenely by minus fhe dilightful exhilarations of social functions, and because, too. of the popularity of the hostesses, the announcement for such a gathering brought forth cordial response for those so fortunate to receive the Valentine invitations. There were fifty-two guests who en- joyed rock at the thirteen tables.
 On entering, the guests were conducted to the punch table, which was placed in the con- servatory among a bower of palms and ferns. Here Misses Pauline McFall and Freida Williams served delightful fruit punch. The favors and tallies were drawn from a large heart-shaped box that was in the center of the dining table. This box and the sev- eral boxes around the edge of the table were artistically de- signed in decorative heart shapes to harmonize with the Valentine idea, as also were the decorations of the three rooms where the tables for playing the games were ar ranged. The red bows and drapery above the doors, and the hundreds of hearts sus- pended from the chandeliers to the four corners of each
 room, beautifully carried out
 the feature. of St. Valentines intent, to have hearts predom-
 mating in that date.
 Red carnations with cut
 ferns were in striking evidence
 which emphasized the joy of
 the occasion.
 Fourteen games of progress
 Slve rock were played. The
 refreshments were ice cream,
 nodded in shape of pink hearts
 with a graceful white cupid
 on top, and home made cake.
 From the dainty rythmic
 cards of invitation to the smil-
 Ing adieux' at the hour of
 eleven, every feature of the

 [erlzed by the success of the
 lnlostessess, and was party

STEEL MEN SEE SIGNS
OF BETTER BUSINESS
Are More Confident of I'M
proved Last Quarter.

More confidence In an Improvement In
steel mill operations for the last quarter
Of this year Is displayed by steel men
and their optimism is borne out by the
bettermeht which has been manifested in
the last week, according to the weekly
reviews of their industry.
Sheet makers are running at 20 to
10 per cent of capacity" says the Iron
Age, under the replenishment demand
developed by the new turn in the mar
ket. There is pretty general adherence
to the new prices on black and galvan-
lied sheets, but few mills still quote
blue annealed in all cages at 2.25 cents,
while some name that price only on No.
IL gage and heavier. Along with the
sheet advance has come an effort TO lift
the sheet bar market. Two or three in
dependent mills ask S32. or So above the
present contract basis.
"It Is too early to tell how far in
dependent producers of the heavier pro-
ducts will hold for the advanced prices
or how they will fare with the Steel Cor
poration itself, In view of It's policy of
meeting competition. first effect has
been the appearance of inquiry for bars
for the last quarter OF the year. and In
some cases for structural shapes and
plates. It Is well understood that In
the heavy products, especially rails,
plates and shapes, present and prospec-
tive demand is only a fraction of capa-
city"
The Iron Trade Reuieto says:
Iron and steel plants are beginning
to respond more notceably to the In
creased tonnage from consumers. In the
Chicago district the largest producer
this week IS running at SO per cent of
capacity, and the leading independent at
35 per cent. Steel making operations In
the Mahoning Valley are at SIS per cent.
and sheet mill output there this week is
at IS Ter cent. the best record OF the
year The American sheet and tin plate
company also Is operating all it's sheet
mills at IS per cent. and its tin plate
plant at SO per cent. Eastern plate mills
report this week the best bookings OF the
year Several additional blast furnaces
are beirg blown In.
