Following a custom of twelve
years throughout the country, the
churches of Barbour County will
observe the End of December as
Health Sunday The services
will give special emphasis to one
Of the greatest assets Of the COM
munity-the public health--and in
some Of the pulpits special speakers
will discuss particular phases of the
subject. Heath Sunday was in
augurated by the tuberculosis and
public health movement, and has be-
come national institution that goes
hand in hand with the emblem Of
the double-barred cross and the
Christmas seal. T his seems to be
the one health agency that enlist
ed the whole-hearted cooperation Of
civic, religious and social organiza-
tons. To quest of health seems to
have become the national outdoor
pursuit and topic of conversation.
One minister in discussing the mat
ter said 1T seems very fitting that
the people Of the community should
meet together on at least one Sab
bath of the year for instructions in
physical health; to concentrate on
it; to lift up their hearts in earnest
prayer for it; for "As a man think
eth in his heart, so is he". Why not
get the health attitude of mind?
l, for one, would like to say with st.
Paul to my congregation. fsAbove
all things I wish that thou mayest
prosper and be in health, even as
they soul prospereth."
The Method of observance of 'sHeal
tn Sunday, throughout the country
varies somewhat, but usually includ-
es special sermon on health, special
exercises on the Sunday School, no
tees on the church calendar, placing
of health literature in the pews.
health exhibits, showing of moving
pictures health films, pageants, tab
leaus, general health programs, with
special prayers for the health of all.

We have one holiday devoted to the
eating Of fried chicken and ice cream
namely, the Fourth of July. The
Thanksgiving holiday in the fall IS
sacred to turkey and pumpkin pie, and
Christmas to plum pudding and mince
pie"
"One festival sacred to new hats
and flowers" burst out the poetic
boarder, lone devoted to speeches. pa
friotism and picnics, one for family
reunions and one for the giving of
presents.
"As / said before" resumed the
timid boarder, Thanksgiving is just
the right distance from Christmas.
We can say TO ourselves: We can't
get turkey or a new suit of clothes
or new house or new automobile
this Thanksgiving, but Christmas will
soon be here, and then we'll have-ev-

Which message of good cheer bright
ened up all the faces around the table,
even causing the boarder in arrears to
smile slightly.

 to Jail

TOPEKA, Kas., March 2.-(By As- sociated Press )-Guy A. Swallow, former chic fof police of Topeka, was placed in jail here late today on a commitment issued by the supreme court. Swallow was held in contempt of the supreme court for his refusal to take the oath as witness when placed on the stand today at the hear ing of the states custer suit against the ku Klux Klan.
 Swallow is the second alleged llansman jailed.

 Swallows refusal surprised the klan's attorneys. w. l.. Wood of Kan sas City and Jonn & Dean of To- peka they asserted Both Kitchen and Swallow were advised that they are to remain in jail until they are ready to conform to the supreme courts or ders.
 Assistant Attorney Rhodes, who is conducting the states ease, claims he has evidence that Swallow is one of the 100 Topeka men who recently joined the klan.
 Carl McManus, an organizer, testi- fled that he administered the oath to that many. When confronted by Swallow today. McManus said he did not remember having administered the klan oath to hiDa.

 pIeted in Conference

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Ebb- ing tide of the sixty-seventh Con gress, with only a day and half before adjournment Sunday noon, presented marked contrast tonight to the outgoing of its predecessors.
 Most of the important legislation necessary to adjournment was high and dry, safely secured either by enactment or in President Harding's hands, and only the flotsam and ietson of the two years flood of legislation remain unjettisoned. The number of small legislative dere- licts, however, showed no diminu- ton and salvage crews were pre- pared to work desperately during the closing hours.
 Appropriations Completed.
 With all of the regular appropria- ton bills completed as against the usual pre- adjournment battering at their safety. the two major un- finished measures, the farm credits Legislation and the ,s156,7 900 de- fieiency appropriation bill. were ad- vanced today far beyond the danger linei leaders said. The farm credits bill. in conference, was brought to the point of completion, ready for prospective final action tomorrow as was the deficiency measure.
 The farm blocks filled milk" bill also was brought into harbor finally and sent to President Harding.
 The administration proposal for American representation on the world court of the League of Ma tions. however, became finally wrecked today for this session, de- spite an eleventh hour effort by President Harding and Secretary Hugnes- They sent new letters to the Senate foreign relations commit tee again urging the court plan, but it was left on the legislative shoals when republicans on the Senate com inittee met and reaffirmed their de- cision that action in the two days remaining was impossible.
 Work At High Speed.
 Both Senate and House worked at high speed on jammed calendars, each grinding out numerous minor bills. The House passed and sent to the Senate the Sweet bill modifying the war risk law in behalf of war veterans while the Senate ordered a sweeping investigation of the vet erans bureau to be conducted after adjournment of Congress.
 move for sugar investigation also was made In the Senate which spent most of today on the govern ment employees salary reclassfica- tion bill, which, House leaders de- clared. could not be passed before ad- journment.
 Minor bills and completion of con- ference reports are on tomorrow's 8 . program for both branches of Con- gross. the House working under a rule requiring two-thirds vote on measures.
