ELECTRIC RANGE
DEMONSTRATION

By advertisement in another column
of this issue, Clark Adams, the cleo
trician, at 10 S. Main street, is an
nouncing a demonstration of the Uni
yersal Electric Cooking Range, at his
store, this Friday evening and all day
Saturday. This demonstration should
prove decidedly attractive TO the house
wives of this vicinity, as this latest
use to which electricity has been put
is proving to be one of the most val
liable assets to the modern kitchen.
An experienced operator will be in
charge, and will gladly answer any
questions as to its operation and adj
vantages. There is no doubt but that
within few short years this mode OF
cooking will almost entirely replace
other common methods now in vogue.
The absolute safety of operation, do
ing away with the use of matches and
other dangerous features, and the au-
tomato control which regulates the
heat so that it works itself without aid
from anyone, are features which are
destined to make this new appliance
very popular. The public is cordially
invited to witness the demonstration.

Recreation Necessary
For ChiIds Welfare
Miss Morris Reads Interesting
Paper Before Parent Teachers
Association.

The following paper was read by
Miss Catherine A. Morris before the
PIT. Association of School Nc. ! at
its last meeting:
Aim: To show the necessity Of good
wholesome recreation.
Purposes: To discuss recreation
from teachers viewpoint
First OF all let US define recreation.
Recreation is any exercise that gives
pleasure, as a change from work, as
sports, pastimes, play, games, fun.
The re-ereat-ing or building up.
Among the most deeply rooted of all
human instincts is the impulse to play.
Indeed, 1t is an instinct common to all
young animals. The puppy or kitten
that does not frisk about is surely i'll,
so is the boy or girl that does not
rightfully play.
Play is natures way of developing
the child, mentally, morally and phys.
ically.
Without play muscles cannot be
come strong and supple. Senses can
not be alert and efficient The mind
cannot be properly developed and the
character lacks the best and surest
training. Take for example the spirit
in play-here leadership is developed.
Let initiative not be lacking, have ey-
cry child anxious that his or her side
win
One of the most serious problems Of
our times is. How shall our children
and young people amuse themselves
Too often they are found in the NOV
ing picture house or some other form
Of eommercialized amusement. These
( diversions are undesirable from more
I than one point of view. In the first
place they substitute a massive diver,

A MAN OR HIS DOG?

AT the First Baptist Church on Sun

question that is as old as human life,
namely the question of Life after

ton, many are still asking it, and can
not seem to find satisfactory answer.
There are those who have said that a
man and his dog die and that is the
end of them both. Come and hear this
question discussed. The sermon will
