one of the party with Nickle, was
also struck and badly injured.

pleasure of listening to the wonder
full harmony of the Lincoln. Quar-
tette, following a real supper which

will be present to set forth the
ideas, ideal and purposes which at
tend the conception and founding
of this organization. The subject
will be made more understandable
to all who come by the use of Lam
tern illustrations. aa
This Community Club will be to
anyone who joins, what a Country
Club is to city mana Place of
Recreation, of Healthful Sport, of
Relaxation and above all of fellow
ship. AS it is set forth in its pro-
posed Constitution, it is to furnish
the means and opportunities for
better community life"

operative in nature. In the very
start it is indebted to the West Not

the building and grounds. The
West Nottingham Grange still holds
a strong place, and conducts its
meetings in the same Community
House." The presence of the
Church so near, should lend a.
wholesome atmosphere to all the
activities that may take place under
this Club
The Quartette has been obtained
at considerable expense, yet there
will be no admission charge or coli
lection, for this is time when the
whole community will come.

BIBLE AscRIBED TO SATAN
Evil One Declared to Have Assisted
Monk to Perform Work, for
a Fearful Price.

One Of the most famous copies of
the Scriptures In existence is the one
which bears the curious title, "The
Devils Bible" 1t is an exquisite piece
of workmanship, inscribed on 300
asses skins, and was taken to Stock
holm at the conclusion Of the Thirty
Years war.
According to tradition this Bible
was the work of a poor monk who
was condemned to death for some
detection, but was told that the SEN
tence would be committed if he would
copy out on asses skins the entire
Bible in a single night. He agreed
to try to do it but, finding the task
too great, made a compact with the
devil to exchange his soul for tho
required transcript. The devil kept
his part of the bargain, and the work
was finished on time. The monks
life was spared by his marveling
Judges. but tradition is silent as to
how he kept his end Of the agreement.

New York.-Americans are Saving
at the spigot and wasting at the bung-
hole at a period when they should be
diScarding nonessentials and clinging
to necessities, John e. Edgerton, pres
ident of the National Association OF
Manufacturers, declared at the annual
convention of the organization here.
"High-priced hotels, theaters, ball
parks and other camping grounds Of
amusement and nonproduction are en-
larging their capacities H. accommo-
date the ever-increasing army of ref
ugees from the storms of life," he de-
clared.
Golf clubs, cigar factories, jewelry
establishments, walking cane empOri-
ums, pet dog kennels, canary bird dis
pensaries and bOotlegging joints are
flOuriShing as never before. Every
street and highway throughout the
land is teeming with automobiles that
are burning expensive gasoline in the
presence of self-imposed idleness.
"And all this time the coasts of
North, South, East and West are teem-
ing with the multitudes of the weary.
The constructive forces of society with
marvelously increased demands upon
them are at this moment suffering for
the lack of adequate nourishment."
Mr.. Edgerton asserted that the
chief economic problem of the day is
that there are too many middlemen in
the Industrial fabric, with too many
persons engaged in distributing the
products turned out by the farmer and
the manufacturer.
when you add to this excess Of
distributors the countless number Of
others whose chief activities are to
reform, regulate, inspect, denounce
tax, plumber and otherwise live upon
those who are trying to produce
something, it will not be difficult to
discover the principal factor in the
continuing high cost Of living" he said.
