Grace English Lutheran church
closes Its first year in excellent fl
nancial condition and those direct
ing its affairs are gratified at the
progress shown in all departments.
The work of this young church

j. NJ Cromer. pastor stated yester-
day. while in many Ways It might
and ought to have been better, yet
the success is very gratifying. The
annual report will show almost one
hundred members, who have been
gathered in one by one without n
special evangelistic effort. 1t Will
show a total financial statement of
nearly $4,000. not counting the sub
scriptions for tho now church build
ing, which amount to about $4,000.
Inc church has a comfortable bal
ance In every treasury. and Toes not
owe one cent except on the church
lot.
The organization could not be in
better financial condition, SO far as
current expenses and missionary con.
tributions r concerned. It will
pay Its full quota into the synodicnl
treasury for all the benevolences of
the church.
Tho contract for excavating the
iot Will be let this coming week, and
the architect. Mr.. westfall. will soon
have the plans and specifications
for the church building ready for
bids.
when the usual h~indrances to

at least that Grace Church has done

 T did not bob my hair because Of style" she told the court.

 But, alas, even bobbing does not seem to do any good" she added. My husband beats me, anyhow"
 What have you to say for your self?" said Magistrate Max s. Levine to Anisfield.
 The husband indicated that he could not talk English, but when the magistrate said he would give him two days in jail to learn how, he spoke up, saying he could talk "a Iit- tie English"
 "Ill give you two days in the West Side jail anyhow, while have a pro- bation officer make an investigation, !" the magistrate said.
