Burglars.

Union City has been having sam
pie of the bold exploits of modern
burglary. Last Friday night the
front of the F. C. Wehman hardware
store was entered. The lock was
priced off and the front door opened
and two fine guns were the first of
the loot. One of these was a $65
Remington pump gun and the other
a $55 Winchester pump gun. Some
pocket knives, flashlights, eight or
ten dollars in money and other
things were missing. Mr.. Wehman
has offered 500 reward for arrest
and conviction of the party who stole
the goods.
Another. raid was made last week
at the Central School bull ding, when
a lot of the overcoats, wraps, etc.,
of the school children were taken.
Nothing has been heard of the
burglars and SO far no one has been

fail to do our very best. Contests may
be held, conducted in the way best

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR
ITS HISTORY
ITS FUTURE

History, like loose-leaf ledger il
bound together by certain unaltera
Bile links that stand for grea
achievements that VIC date great or
ganizations from
One of the greatest dates in the
progress of Christianity that the last
century gave us was February 2
1881, when Dr. Francis e. Clark, al
that time pastor of the Williston
Congregational Church, Portland
Maine, feeling that the young people
must have an organization of their
own organized the first Christian
| Endeavof- Society with the motto:
! For Christ and the Church." having
no thought of the movement being
used outside of the church.
But the rest of the world was also
feeling the need of similar organi-
zation, and Christian Endeavor is
now being used in every country on
the globe, and has $4,000 societies,
with 100000 members and is used
in 81 denominations.
Throughout the world the Meth
odists lead in the number of their
Christian Endeavor Societies; the
Pres5yterians of various names come
next; the Disciples of Christ and the
Baptists third, the reformed churches
fourth the Congregationalists fifth,
the Lutherans sixth, etc.
In Dixie, as a rule, the Methodist
and Baptists churches use their own
denomina ional society, but there are
a goodly number of Christian En-
deavor societies in branches of these
churches in our Southern States.
In the recent Extension Campaign
in Dixie there were over 5000 new
societies organized, and almost a
half million dollars given to m is
sions.
During the past year more than
two hundred Dixie Christian Endeav-
orers became Life Work Recruits, |
and many are in school preparing for
their work.
The fourth All-South Convention
will be held at Hot Springs, Ark.
July 1917. 1922. The Governor of
Hon. Thomas McCrae, will

P. Gates, General Secretary of the
United Society of Christian Endeav-

he opening night, and will remain
throughout the entire convention,
Ind other speakers or national prom
nence have accepted places on the
program. II
The Goal for the convention is

MUNICIPAL ELECTION
MAYOR AND ALDERMEN
Harmony Ticket Gets Its Feathers
Plucked.

Evidently the people OF Union
City didn't take to the idea Of select
ing a city ticket in mass meeting,
either that or they preferred to make
it political affair. The result shows
slight variation from all the cleo
tion propaganda. The ticket is
mixed both as to the manner of selec-
tion and politics.
Only three of the harmony candi-
dates were elected. What is known
as the citizens or Democratic ticket
elected four of their men, the mayor
and three aldermen.
The poll was small one compared
to the election two years ago in
Union City, only a small portion
of voters having qualified by pay
ing their poll taxes. The tax laws
require the payment of poll taxes
sixty days before election and that
caught large number of the voters
of the corporation of Union. City
without the right to vote. This law
resembles a lot of things that pig
headed majority did in the last Leg
islature.
One thing we can say The board
is made up of good men, and we have
right to expect some sensible
things. They succeed an administra-
tion of fine men, who go out with the
best wishes of the people of Union
City for the work they have done.
No board ever passed thru more |
trying time, and if the present board |
lives as near it's duty as did the past
one they'll never have regret to
face. OF course no one will deny that |
but the best wisdom in the world was
exhibited in self-restraint during the
period of reconstruction, when al
most every city and town and gov
ernment in the world was going wild
with extravaganza and waste. 1t was
easy then to go wrong, but it rel
qulred courage TO go right, ana the
result is that Union City is finan-
cially on her feet to-day while other
towns and cities are fioundering
under debt and no more means to
go on but the revenue from high
taxes. Their bonds are not worth
par value in the market, and they are
in the middle of bad fix
Not so with Union City. She is q;

The pikeperch is not classed as a true pike,

flesh. The pikeperch Is notably numerous
in Oneida and Black lakes. Specimens nave

The principal distributing point for TINS

Badly, Toughest Of Dogs,
Dies Of Old Age at Is
Spent Most of His Life in
Harness in Alaska.

BERKELEY, Cal, April 29.-Baldy of
Nome. once the toughest dog in all the
Northland." died recently in an animal
hospital in Berkeley. far from the long
Alaska snow trails over which he
"mushed" his way to world fame sew
erai years ago.
Driven by A. A. ("Scotty") Allan,
Badly was the lead dog in the noted
racing team owned by Mrs. C. z. OAR
ling which won six OF the All-Alaska
sweepstakes races across the Seward
Peninsula from Nome to Candle and
back. AS miles In all.
During the war a number of Alaska
dogs sired by Badly were shipped to
Europe by the French Government for
service in the snowclad Alps. and to-
day many are still overseas. where their
grey VOLTS blood" won for several OF
them the Croix de Guerre.
Baldy's last sweepstakes was run in
1917, and after the race Allan brought
the dog to Berkeley, where he and Mr..
and Mrs. Darling had settled Two
years ago Mrs. Darling put Baldy's life
story into book and also wrote some
verses for the dog-things he would
have said IL he could
In the verse Badly, spending his last
days here, was pictured as saying in
part:
Il doze In the peace of a golden day.
TO dream of white land far away.
And sometimes start when think
hear
The peal OF bells and a mighty cheer
That marked the end OF the killing pace
As we crossed the line in the sweep
stakes race"
Badly was Is years old. and died OF
old age. He was born In 1907 and spent
most of his life in harness, for he was
only 2 years old when he was made the
leader OF the Allan-Darling team. He
was buried beneath the rose bushes ir
the Allan yard here.
He was a crossbreed dog" Allan
said after his death. His mother was
a malamute and the rest of him was
outside dog shepherd and hound. He
won the first three Alaska sweepstakes
and later three others. In all he ran in
hundreds Of races
