those in charge OF the arrangements
for the said Community Sale have in
cluded this as one of the forms OF
amusement;

ship of our church to discourage the
said street dancing by having nothing
to do with it themselves and by in
fuencing others to assume like atti-
tude;
Third, that we hereby put ourselves
on record as opposing street dancing
in the future whether in connection
with Community Sales or any other
event. ]. A. LANG, Chairman; R. E..

record our most earnest protest against
the proposed street dance advertised as
an attraction in the coming Communi-
ty Sale. In taking this action we only
exercise our duty as ministers and eX-
press our great desire to uphold and
promote the moral welfare OF our
town and community, and especially
do we wish to protect our young peo-
pie from a debauChing social evil. In
doing this we call upon the members
of our churches and congregations and
all who desire the moral welfare and
good name of our town to stand by
us in this endeavor.

Man in the Moon
Is a Truck Gardener

NEW YORK, n. Y.-The I'M
warranted assumption that the
moon is dead and that nothing can
live on it has caused astronomers
to fail to study it, according to
Prof. William H. Pickering, OF
Harvard, one OF the greatest astron-
omers, who, in a report on two
years observation of the moon, as
serts that the existence OF life is
more easily traceable on the moon
than on Mars.
Crops grow on the moon at the
rate OF two day, the day there be-
ing as long as two OF our weeks.
They are believed to grow only in
the craters, with which the face of
the moon is extensively pitted and
which are believed to contain water
and possibly supply OF heat.
Professor Pickering has discov-
cred steam issuing from some OF the
supposedly dead craters.

Copper Company through it's attor-

in behalf of the slack coal rate to

If no exceptions are taken to the ex-
aminer's findings coal rates will be
reduced In accordance with the above
