The Rebekah Club.

The last regular meeting of the Re-
bekah club was held at the home of
Mrs. Pearl Schnell The election of Of
ficers was the important business of
the meeting and resulted as follows
Ruby Miller, president; Arvilla Yates
vice-president; Gladys Smith, secre-
tary; Hazel Rowe, treasurer. A very
enjoyable afternoon was spent, after
which delicious lunch was served by
the hostess, assisted by Mrs. Marie
Farrar.
The next meeting viii be held Fri
day afternoon, Feb. 5, at the home Of
Mrs. w. r. Emerson. All members are
asked to be present.

The president has set his hand to a
helpful purpose.
The first step is financial relief
but, much as it is needed, that will
not reach the deeper troubles, so clear.
| ly defined in sentence from Seere-
tary Hoover " address: ''The prices
of agricultural commodities are on a
lower level than industrial prices and
industrial labor" 1t is further true,
as Secretary Hoover said, that ''this
country can not be foreclosed in the
|old-fashioned way. Foreclosure would
do no good to the creditors and would
lead to vast amount of human mis-
ery.'
But when the distressed farmers
have been saved from foreclosure, the
next move at Washington should be
in the direction of putting the prices
of agricultural commodities on Jthe
same level with industrial prices and
industrial labor.
The McNary Haugen bin is the only
measure before congress that would
measurably do that. 1t would not,
again to quote the words of President
Coolidge, transfer loss from private
interest to the public treasury The
bounty or premium ON exported wheat
would be paid from fund created by
taxing all the wheat marketed in the
United States The wheat growers
would provide the funds.
President Coolidge has not declared
himself against that bilI There is
reason to believe that he will approve
it. He realizes and frankly said at |
the conference Monday, that his fl
naneing proposals do not cover all |
the needs. - The president under
stands the fact, so clearly stated by
Secretary Hoover It the conference,
that prosperity will not come until
the farmer has emerged from his diff
ficulty."
The farmers difficulties are two
fold-hard financial pressure and un-
markets. President Cool
dges plan of financial relief would
ease one trouble; the McNary- -Haugen
bill would ease the other.

The funeral service and burial of

Oh tne STURDY shoulders or men Whe
went to war at his command he was
carried tenderly forth to the place OF
entombment. At the cathedral where
his body was laid to rest, there was
another service almost as plain, but
attended by others who had asked the
privilege of honoring him. Among
them were many who speak for the
great governments of the earth.
But only the sorrowing widow and a
little circle of other relatives saw the
last ceremony of entombment.
AT the moment he was lowered into
the hall of his long sleep, an army
bugler, the same who sounded taps ov-
er the Unknown Soldier at Arlington,
stepped before the chapel entrance
and the soft notes of taps rose TO the
gray sky.
Twenty y-eighth president of the
United States and the first Democrat
since Jackson to serve two successive
terms, Woodrow Wilson occupied the
presidency during eight years of such
world upheaval and turmoil that his
proper place in history cannot be as
signed to him until his contemporaries
are likewise assigned to their inches. :
An obscure lawyer, by nature man.
of letters, he became an educator and
won his first attention from the pub
lie as president of Princeton Univer-
sity. Then he became governor of
New Jersey, and later he became pres
ident of the United States The need
of super-man was dawning and he
was the man.
After having borne the burdens of
war president, he undertook the task
of making peace which he sincerely
believed would be lasting one and
although he succeeded in getting Eu-
rope to accept it in large measure, his
own country rejected it. And in the
fight his health was broken, he be-
came worn out, suffered stroke of
paralysis which lead to his death, and
he declared through it all that he
would have been happy to give his life
for the success of his efforts.
Woodrow Wilson was precedent
smasher from beginning to end. He
began by reviving the practice of
Washington and Jefferson in deliver
ing his messages to congress in person.
He finished by actually leaving Amer
ican soil and going to Europe.
Born in Staunton, Va, December 2s,
1856, of scotch-Irish parentage, he was
christened Thomas Woodrow Wilson
and he was known in early life as
Tommy. ,, After he was graduated
from Princeton in 1879 he was known
only as Woodrow Wilson. His father
was the Rev. Joseph Ruggles Wilson,
a Presbyterian clergyman, and his
mother was Jessie Woodrow.
When he was 2 years old the for
tunes of his father took the family
to Augusta, Ga, and later to Column
bia, S. c., where at the age of IL
Thomas Woodrow Wilson entered Dav
idson college, but left there soon to go
to Princeton. After graduting at
Princeton he studied law at the Uni
versity of Virginia and in 1882 hung
out his shingle in Atlanta, Ga. Mean
time he eourted Ellen Louise Arson,
the daughter of Savannah Presby-
terian clergyman. They we're married
in 1885 and had three daughters, Mar
garet, the eldest, who did not marry;
Jessie, who became the wife of Francis
Bowes Sayre, and Eleanor, who be
came the wife of William G. Me
Adoo, secretary of the treasury during
her fathers administration.
