OF INTEREST TO
 HOME BUILDERS

A very satisfactory and permanent treatment for adobe houses consists of the following: Mix dry, pure cement with 10 per cent hy- drated lime in a pail, add ing sufficient water to make a paint that can be applied with a paint brush. Paint this on the plastered, pre- viously moistened, surface at once and rub as smooth as possible. In the same way a second coat can be applied, using a slightly thinner cement paint. A five-inch, rather heavy, paint brush is most satis- factory, taking care that cement is not allowed to dry on the brush at any time.
 It should be borne in mind that in clustering adobe houses, as thin a coat o f mud should be applied a S possible to give a smooth, straight surface, otherwise the weight of the plaster will cause it to fall off and in this case, of course, no cement or whitewash will be satisfactory.

ACE AND THIMBLE
 CLUB DANCE

The dance given by the ladies of the A. T. Club was a huge success. Not only was it a success financially but everyone who was there seemed to have a good time. Outside of the members of the club those who helped with it's success were Mrs. Lerch and Mrs. W. E. Fer guson.
 The candy which was sold during the evening brought in more than enough to de- fray all the expenses of the dance, making all the money gathered in from tickets and
 fines, (and by the way the next time they do this the ladies are gong 10 make their rules so lawyer-proof that Judge Thomas can't evade them by wearing a pair of Attorney Jordan's overalls pinned on his lapeD clear profit. The sum to be turned over to the school a. mounts to $123.25 Itis the desire of the ladies that this be put into something of permanent value to the school athletics.
 The ladies wish to thank MT. Ferguson for his kind ness in auctioning off their candy boxes. Oh, Girls, you should have seen his new spring suit!

FOR VALUE RECEIVED

It might not be a bad idea now that the basket ball season has about ended to take stock as to what it has meant to us individually and collectively. It is a fact that there never has been an at- traction in Holbrook that has drawn such enthusiastic crowds as have these games. Of course you may say, you have paid your money to see them, but wasn't it worth more than fifty cents to each one of you to see them take the boys from the Railroad City to a cleaning? It sure- ly was.
 It might not be altogether out of place to plan what we can do for the boys and girls in return for the pleasure they have given the town, and with such skittish toes as most of them possess would surely find more en- joyment in a dance than in anything else. This should embrace all who played. This is merely a suggestion, but what do you think a. bout it?

FOR BOYS AND GIRLS

The following excerpt talk en from Golfers for last week, may be of interest to the boys and girls of Hol- brook. Some of them should take a try at the prize of- fered. There could be no greater prize than a chance for a thorough education.
 Again a great prize is of- fered. The Highway and Highway Transport Educa- tion Committee, Willard Building, Washington, D. C., has sent out to school principals the rules govern ing this years good-roads national essay contest. Inquiries are to be address sed to the committee, the rules, in brief, are as fol- lows:
 All boys and girls of high school grade are eligible. The Subject is: "How Good Roads Are Developing My Community" Essays must not exceed 700 words, are to be handed in to school principals.
 The prize is tuition and ex- penses for four years at tendance at any college or university chosen by the successful contestant. MT. Harvey s. Firestone of Akron is the donor of this prize.
 This year, as last year, Golfers is glad to tell you about this contest. Boys and girls who carefully con sider the prescribed title, and then write clear, infor- native essays based on their own observation and study, will profit by their work. Such study is useful to any, one.
 The final winner-the boy or girl whose essay stands out clearly above the essays of hundreds of thousands of others who will compete will earn one of the best prizes that life can offer.

DISCUSS DIVORCE
Church Convention Also Takes
Up Mission Topic as Busy
Week Opens
MANY SECTIONAL MEETINGS

Portland. Ore. Sept. 11.-The House
! OF Bishops and the House of Delegates
were TO meet in joint session today as
! the first important event in what prom.
| ised 20 be busy week in the Episcopal
general convention. A hearing on the
report of the department of missions
was the principal feature to come be-
| fore the joint session this morning
! There was heavy program of sectional
meetings for the day
! 4 score of matters of importance to
the church are slated for action this
week. Bishop Brent's resolution on the
divorce and rcmarriage question. which
| caused storm Of comment Saturday,
| was the principal subject Of conversa-
! tion. Some churchmen interpreted il
ms part of the movement to make the
divorce regulations of the church still
| moro stringent.
One OF the most picturesque gather
! ings in connection with the general
| convention will be the mass meeting
| tonight under the auspices Of the
commission to confer with the Eastern
Orthodox churches and the old Cath
olics. This commission. under the chair
manship Of the Right Rev. James H.
Darlington, Bishop Of Harrisburg. dur
ing the last three years has extended
| its activities TO Switzerland. Greece.
| Serbia, Rumanta. Czccho -Slovakia
Bishop Darlington spent four months
abroad visiting the heads of national
churches, explaining the Episcopal
Church 70 them and inviting represent
| ntlves to attend the Portland convcn-
ton.
Representatives are here from the
| patriarch of Antioch who lives A.
! Damascus. from the patriarch of Jcru
salem. from the Russian Orthodox
| Church in the United States and from
the Czecho- Slovakian National Church.
There Is a wide divergence Of opin-
ion concerning the report Of the COM
mission on the fuller recognition of the
ministry OF healing in tho Church. Thi-
commission was appointed three years
ago as the direct outcome Of the heal
ing missions held In the United States
BY James Hickson, n lay member OF
the Church Of England.
Mr.. flickson said that through
the prayer Of faith and the laying on OF
hands even organic diseases could be
cured. and his healing missions were at
tended by thousands Of sick persons anC
many cures we're said TO be effected
There was TO attempt at diagnosis and
no direct co operation with the mcdCa
profession.
The report now presented by thc
commission indicates marked reaction
against the Hickson methods. While
recognizing the place of prayer an,
faith in cases Of sickness. it also rec
ognizes that medical science is the
normal means for the care and healing
Of the sick and that the best results
can only be obtained by the linking o:
science and religion.
1t also sounds a note Of warning
concerning those Of the clergy who
without adequate preparation ant
training, have taken up the work o
healing missions. and seeks 10 limi
their activities by requiring the ap
lroval Of the Bishop and CO. opcratio!
= with qualified medical men.

PEOPLE AND BONUS BILL.

(New York Journal of Commerce)
Secretary Melons statement briefly
put is that the government cannot pay
bonus calling for $1,000. 100000 with
in two years out of any funds now in
hand and is in no position to get new
funds; while. should it attempt 10 do
so, will run grave risk of entirely dis
organizing the finances of the nation
besides enormously increasing the al
ready too heavy expense of admins
tration. Incidentally the secretary
brings out the little known fact that
the government is now spending annu-
ally on the care and relief of soldiers
about $45O,O0O,OOO, a sum which would
be in addition to the amounts con-
templated in the bonus program.
4 choice now made in favor OF bo-
nus extravaganza would be fatal to
the prospects of recovery from the
desperate conditions into which we
were plunged by the war and might
easily compel us to assume a place by
the side Of European countries whose
budgets not only have never been bal
anced but are unlikely to be. Secre-
tary MELONS impressive showing of
facts and figures must convince every
thoughtful reader with the conviction
that the situation has not been exag-
gerated and that the time has come to
face a crucial condition in American
politics and finance
The time has come for the business
indeed for sober citizens
of all classes and in all parts of the
country. to arouse themselves to the
situation and to express some definite
view as to the bonus question. They
should indicate their opinion in no I'M
certain terms to their members of con-
gress and convince their representa-
tives that there is no surer road to
defeat than commitment to this plan
for the wrecking of the treasury and
Of national finance in general.
