Please note the change Tn our r church services. Sunday School at 9.45, preaching service at 10.30.
 The ladies will hold a food sale in the Sunday School room on Saturday afternoon, April 23 at 3.30.
 It is seldom one has the privilege accorded the few ladies who met on Monday afternoon to listen to Miss Collins, one of the deaconess from the Pittsburg conference, who gave us 3, wonderfully interesting account of the work being accomplished in our many fields of missions. We formed a W. H. M. S.fwhich we are sure will do all in it's power to help in the great work. ..>.a
 The Ladies Aid Society have been making extensive repairs in the M. E. parsonage, one of the essentials being new cement cellar floor.
 Two excellent and helpful sermons were preached last Sunday by our new pastor, Rev. J. McKiernan.
 The many readers of the f'News" will be glad to read the following letter from Mrs. Haven and learn somewhat of the work she is doing.
 Morristown, Tenn.
 March 31, 1921. My dear Mrs. Mackie:
 Please express the thanks of our young people to the young people of your Sunday School for their kind thoughtfulness in sending us thelr Easter offering. It was greatly ap- preciated I assure you.
 Perhaps you would be interested in knowing how we spent our EasterA To begin with we were. campuS bound. Quarantined for smallpox! They had 12 cases in Crary Hall and one in New Jersey Home. So we had to devise means of amusing our selves at Home. We had short service in the parlor, then we had Sunday School out on the Campus under the trees.
 At noon we had a good dinner. About 4 o'clock we had ice cream and cake out on the lawn, and some outside friends sent us basket of apples and lb. box of home made candy. At 5 o'clock we had an Eas- ter egg hunt. The eggs were pre- viously colored and hidden all about the lawn. Some found two and some ten or more We divided up so that all had the same and had the eggs for supper. After this we had a sacred concert out on the porch. Many melodies were sung and they are truly beautiful.
 { Not so bad was it for "shut-in" Sunday?
 We have l35 girls in the Home. They have 150 both girls and boys in the Hall. superintend the Home. Some of my girls in the graduat- ing class are beginning to worry about what they shall wear for graduating. It must be white middy suit which they make them selves, but they worry about how they are going to get it, so think may use some of your money to help | buy bolt of cloth for these dresses, or may use it for some smaller things but I assure you I shall put | 1t to good use. May God bless you for thinking of us, and we hope he i, Twill give you many good things in the | days to come.
 With much love to you all am,
 Sincerely Yours,

SAYS STAGES TOOK GLENDALE BUSINESS

Submitting a schedule which, the protestors declare. would be equiva- lent to a discontinuance of the Glen dale car line. s. H. Mitchell. manager of the Phoenix Street Railway. ap- peared before the state corporation commission yesterday where his plan was opposed by patrons or the Glen dale and Orangewood lines
 MT. Mitchelrs plan was to run car from Glendale in the morning which would not make the return trip until the next morning He de- clared that with the elimination of the cotton picking patronage had suffered. and his additional grounds for wishing to curtail the car service was the fact that the large majority | in the district had automobiles or were picked up and brought to town | by those who had cars.
 What about your moral obligation to the small farmer. the man who IS trying to make a living on his five acres and is dependent on the street railway" MT. Mitchell was asked.
 The moral obligation of the Phoe- nix street railway is a thing of the past. We agreed to operate the line for five years and we operated a long, CT period We built up a good busi- ness which was taken from us by the stage lines " replied the traction manager.
 Rolin w. Shaw. who appeared for the residents of the Orangewood dis | trict. protested against curtailmen' l of the service on that line. He pre- scented the wishes of the residents oi the district, and after the public hearing met with Mr. Mitchell te plan a schedule which will be sub- mitted to the commission In tho meantime the service will continue under the present schedule until tho decision is handed down by the com mission.

construction wherever able to get an additional federal dollar in co-opera- tion. The reduction of the state road tax levy from 10 cents to cents means that only s400.00O will be avail able each year which will confine activities to maintenance after the expenditure of the funds provided in the Omnibus bill.
 The department will adopt the gang rather than the patrol system as the former is the cheaper. Recent in- estigations of the French highways show the macadam roads cost $500 per mile per year to maintain with their cheaper labor. said Mir Mad dock, and on this account the depart ment is planning to use large crews to longer distances. reducing the size of the crew in dry weather and in- creasing the crew during the wet sea- son in order to cover the long stretches outside of town streets.
 MT. Maddock's plans include the construction of cook and sleeping quarters on wagons drawn behind trucks, to be moved in any locality where the men are working. making 8 mobile repair crew. Mir. Fraser will have charge of this work.

Form Nationwide League To Combat Class Legislation

 CINCINNATI. June 27.-A national organization pledged to combat all class legislation wherever 1t appears was formed here today, under the auspices of the National Grain Deal- CTS association and an active cam paign against the United States Grain Growers, Inc. is to be instituted at once
 Representatives from business or ganizations all over the country were present and while the immediate ob- ject of attack will be made against the United States Grain Growers reported campaign to pool the farm CTS grain under a six-year contract. the scope of the organization as planned, is much wider.
 Resolutions adopted declared that the grain trade and general business interests are directly menaced by ad- verse legislation, both state and na- tional, arising on demand of organ ized special interests. The resolu- tions declared such legislation to be vicious and "deplore the attempt of special interests by class legislation to break down the present competi- tive individualistic business principle and the substitution therefor of bu- reaucratic control"

J. P. Fraser, former division en- gineer of the state highway depart ment and more recently a member of the legislature from Santa Cruz coun- ty has been appointed engineer in charge of the maintenance depart ment by Thomas Maddock. state en- gineer. Mir. Fraser. who has had wide experience in in charge of mainten- ance work in Cochise, Pima. Pinal and Santa Cruz counties. will move to Phoenix shortly to take over his duties.
 The large increase in mileage of state roads due to construction of the last two years necessitates an inde- pendent department to handle the maintenance work. Due to the com pletion of many bond issues, which were in some cases handled by the highway department where federal aid was secured and also the possi bility of no additional federal aid be- ing secured, the state highway de- partment will probably be handling more maintenance and construction within the next year.
 The department reduced the main tenance to minimum the last two years to put every possible dollar 1T

 The flames quickly spread to the roof and caused considerable damage to the house, although practically all the furniture was spared. Bremen were handicapped by absence of q water plug in the vicinity of the house, but managed to extinguish the blaze by using 120 gallons of chemi- cal and drawing upon the water in an irrigation ditch.

Il DEATHS IN FARM FIRE CONTINUES TO
 MYST|FY OFFICERS
TRspubIlcan A. p. Leased WIreJ


 HATFIELD. Ky. June 27--Mystery continues to envelope the tragedy in the Lawrence farm home Saturday night when bodies of II persons. thought to have been slain. were found practically incinerated in the dwelling.
 The fragments of the bodies were placed in one coffin and inferred to- day.
 Sheriff Mccain and Coroner Mettit reported they were unable to find wounds that would determine wheth- CT the inmates were murdered before being burned. An axe and firearms were found in the ruirs. Sheriff Mccain announced that he had not changed his theory that Lawrence had developed a fit of in- sanity and in a frenzy had killed his wife. their three children and their guests. Otis Drew, Mrs. Drew, her three children and Drew's brother, Elmer Drew. Indications are, he said, that Lawrence saturated the room in which the bodies were found with oil, touched match to it and killed him. self
 Mrs. Lawrence and Mrs Drew were sisters.
 One report had it that Lawrence had been roughly handled by a police man in Mayfield some years ago and that he had been struck on the head Since then, the story ran. Lawrence had suffered from illness periodically which had affected his mind. Sheriff Mccain found it difficult to believe that one man could have attacked lt persons, at least three of them adults without some of them escaping.
