Helen Keller Day To Be Celebrat-
 ed Conclave

It seems most fitting that the Ala Dama writers who go to Florence for the annual conclave to set one day aside to be known as Helen Keller day, for 4 was in that section that Helen Keller was born and reared, and where she and her family have been among the old residents, best known families. It was near there that she received her first training and will always be home to her, no matter where time, may take her.
 Those who go will of course want to see the old Keller home and anything else that will be associated with her name and life there. On this same afternoon the guests will be taken over the city and later will spend the after noon at the Tennessee Valley Country club, where they will be the guests of that well-known club of north Ala bama, the Blue Pencil club. Miss Maud Lindsay will preside on this occasion, and as she and her writings are so well known, not only to all Alabama writers, but throughout the southland, she will need no introduction.
 Many of the guests are hoping at this time to be able to prevail upon Miss Lindsay to give some of her own original stories.

CHAPTER 90

 DRIGHT and beautiful dawned Mo ID mas wedding day. As we had
 planned, no one but relatives wit. messed the simple home ceremony that gave her to George Atwood. A break fast followed, gay little affair, all oi us happy in her happiness, then they left for short honeymoon trip, show, cred with rice and laughingly dodgina old shoes that Donald had insisted upon throwing after them. $
 After everyone had gone Clifford said:
 Now, Stella, I want to talk with you and Mort in the library. Not you, young man. 'as Donald prepared to follow. You clear out! I may have something to say to you later."
 Mort, what are your plans? Not about the business, we settled all that yesterday, and never make such prop. osition to me again. The business ii ours equally, no matter what happens" >"You mean my plans about living ?''
 Stella thinks she would like to take house here near Mona and you. II we can find anything suitable l am willing"
 You are willing to live in the coun. try-this is country compared to New York;"
 "I am willing to live anywhere that Stella wishes, not only willing, but glad to. We would be near Mona and Stella thinks it would be good for Don. ald., I guess she is right about that" a smile lighting his face. "I never saw a boy happier than he is here"
 Well, that's that" Clifford replied. 'I feared the call of the city would be too strong for you. Mort, Now let me tell you my plan. If you and Stella agree it will make me very happy, but I don't want you to consider me alone. Think of yourselves. have already told Stella that when am gone this house and all in it are yours as long as you live, and that then I want Don. aid to have 1t. It wouldn't seem right to have anyone but a Dayton own 1t. have provided for Mona in other ways. Wait" as Mort was about to speak, 'let me finish. hope you, Stella and Don- aid will stay on here, make a home for yourselves and-for me. l never knew what a real home was before, Mort. a mgoing to say nothing against Mary. She did the best she could, perhaps, but she was too full of life and loved gayety, the bright lights and attention too much to care for an old stodger like me--care

tree waited and watched. Presently Rattles darted out and down, dived into the Smiling Pool and came up with another little fish. Just as before, he paused for a moment in midair, and flew away down the Laughing Brook. Peter's heels fairly itched to follow along the bank, but he waited and tried to be patient. After a while back came Rattles and did the sade thing all over again.
 The last doubt in Peters mind van ished. Rattles was taking those fish to his children just as Welcome Robin takes worms to his children, and those children were somewhere down the Laughing Brook, and not so very far, judging by the short time it took Rat ties to go and come. He, Peter, would go down the Laughing Brook little way and hide where he could watch Rattles as he passed back and forth. He would find out that secret from Rattles himself. So the next time Rat ties disappeared with little fish Peter picked up his heels and scampered along the bank down the Laughing Brook to look for a new hiding place.

 T can't say anything, Clifford ? Mort's voice trembled. Stella must decide. It is too much, brother--too much!" Tears fell unheeded down Mort's cheeks. Goals of firep he said faintly.
 "ws'll stay, Clifford TT said quickly, .stay, oh, SO gladly! And if you ever change your mind and want tho place to yourself, am sure shall know, and then we will adhere to my original plan" .
 "No danger of my changing my mind, Stella" his voice happy, his face beam ing. T have been breaking my tough old heart thinking to live alone"
 Cant I come in now" Donald called.
 "Yes, son, como in. Ask him what he wants to do, 'CliffordT' said. Donald would you like to go on liv- ing here with me, your father and mother, or would you rather have a home of your own without me" What !-ain't we going to say? Gee I'd rather stay here than anywhere else in tho worldl Say, dad, can't. we stayT His eyes were suspiciously moist.
 "Yes, Son, VIC are going to live here with Uncle Clifford"

 So life went quietly on for us. Mona came back from her wedding trip, set. tied only fifteen minutes walk from us, happy as the day was long. Mort very slowly, very gradually recovered . little of his old manner; his eyes lost some of the ineffable sadness they held when he returned to us. Donald was so rejoiced over our decision to stay with Clifford that for days he was almost uncomfortable. And Clifford's face held the expression of one at peace with himself and the world. As for me, was content. Some day Mort would cease to grieve 50 bitterly and when that day came should also be happy.

what Grandfather Frog had said about minding his own business Peter didn't feel just like being seen. So he kept out of sight of the big nly-pad on which Grandfather Frog spends so much of his time. It wasn't long before he heard the harsh rattling noise that Rattles the Kingfisher makes. He was coming up the Laughing Brook from below the Smiling Pool. Peter peeped out from behind the Big Hickory Tree and watched Rattles dive into the Smiling Pool and come up with shining little minnow. Instead of flying over to the Big Hickory Tree and there swallowing the little fish, as Peter so often had seen him do, he turned and flew back down the Laughing Brook with it.
 Peter scratched his head thought fully. "I wonder" thought he, eff that means that he has some babies at home and is taking the little fish to them. I wonder"
 The more he wondered the more likely it seemed. He as still wondering when he heard that harsh rattle again, and there was Rattles the Kingfisher fly ing straight toward him. With a final rattle he per:hed in the Big Hickory Tree where he could see all over the Smiling Pool. There he waited and watched. Peter behind big hickory

What you don't think of, others may,
 So lend a heedful ear.
 The thing that most perplexes you
 May thus be made quite clear. //CTUPID, stupid, stupid!' ex- sS claimed Peter Rabbit as he
 watched Jimmy Skunk out of sight. He didn't mean Jimmy; he meant himself. Here I have been run ming my legs off trying to find the hole of Rattles the Kingfisher without once stopping to think that I never have seen him near the places where l have been looking. Jimmy Skunk is right. He certainly is. The place to look for Rattles is near water. No one sees him anywhere else except when he is flying across from one body of water to another. Of course if he lives around the water he must have his home near it. That means it is somewhere along the Laughing Brook or over by the Big River. I wonder which place to visit first. Let me think most often see him at or near the Smiling Fool. If his home was over near the Big River I don't believe he would be at the Smli- ing Pool so much. Probably his home isn't far from there. l think III visit the Smiling Pool and do little watch ing. There is nothing like watching If you want to find out things about other people. I ought to have stayed there in the first place when l asked Grandfather Frog about Rattles and he refused to tell me anything, except that it is true that Rattles makes his home in the ground.
 So Peter headed for the Smiling Pool once more. When he got there he sat down behind the Big Hickory Tree where Grandfather Frog could not see him. Somehow he didn't want Grand father Frog to see him. He knew that Grandfather Frog was sharp enough to guess just why he was there, and after

(ZIHLMAN WINS EASILY
OVER HIS two OPPONENTS
Has Approximately 5000 Major
ity With Ten Per Cent of
Voters at Polls.

Congressman Frederick n. Zihlman
was re-nominated on Monday by the
Republicans of the Sixth District as
their candidate for Congress at the
regular election to be held in Novem-
Der next, his majority being approx
imetly three thousand over his oppo-
nent, Thomas L. Dawson, of Mont
gomery county, and a great many
more than 5000 over his Washington
county opponent, Mr.. Joseph F. VOL
finger, of Smithsburg.
Mr.. Zihlman carried Allegany and
Garrett counties by large majorities.
Frederick county was exceedingly
close in the three cornered fight. Mr..
Dawson carried his own county by a
majority of more than a thousand.
Lack of interest in the election was
evident on every hand. Men and wo-
men of Oakland who passed the poll
ing places frequently on Monday did
not deem it important that they reg
lister their choice of candidates, many
of them saying that Mr.. Zihlman will
be chosen without their vote and at
the election in the fall they would
vote for the successful candidate.
In the Democratic camp DR.. Thomas
w. Koon, of Cumberland, looked upon
as sure winner by Democrats of this
and Allegany county, went down to
defeat before David c. Winbrenner,
of Frederick. DR.. Koon carried both
his own county and this county, out
the large vote accorded Mr.. Wine
brenner in Frederick and Montgom-
cry counties placed him in nomination
over Dr. Koon, the lead being so great
that it could not be overcome.
1t is said that the Richie organi-
cation was backing Winbrenner's can
didacy strongly, degree of rela-
tionship existing between the Gov
ernor and the Democratic candidate.
Mr.. Mish did well in his home county
of Washington but made poor show
ing elsewhere, while ICY" Cummings
fell down at every voting place in the
entire district.
Mr. Zihlman expressed his delight
over the result of the election on last
Tuesday morning. Mr.. Zihlman is
justly proud of the vote given him in
the face of the outlandish charges re-
Gently launched against him. With
internal dissentions in the party of
his home county and with candidates
from two of the other counties of the
district opposing him, he is gratified
beyond expression over the result of
the contest.

PUBLICATION BOARD
ERECTS LARGE BUILDING
United Lutheran Offices Concen-
trating in Three Cities

The Board of Publication of the
United Lutheran church is now housed
in one of the finest buildings in the
land devoted to church publication
purposes. The Muhlenberg Building,
located at 18th and Spruce streets,
Philadelphia, eight stories high, in the
best style of American business archi-
lecture and erected at cost of $780,
900, is now complete. The United
Lutheran Publication House has taken
up it's headquarters in the building
and has presented the structure to the
officers of the United Lutheran church
in a special dedicatory service.
In addition to housing the Board Of
Publication, with a modern printing
plant and bindery for the publishing
of books as we'll as the official maya
zines, periodicals and literature of the
United Lutheran church, the Mullen
berg Building brings together in
central location the Board of Minis
terial Relief, the Women's Mission
airy Society Literature Headquarters,
the general offices of the Luther
League and the offices of the Pennsyl-
vania Ministerium and serves as a
general headquarters for all of the
official boards and committees CENTER
ing in Pennsylvania.
The significance of this general
headquarters building for many ac-
tivities and interests of the United
Lutheran church lies in the tendency
of various offices of that body to CEN
ter chiefly in three headquarters cities
New York, Chicago and Philadel-
phia.
