Baptist; W. A. Adams, Central
Christian; G. C. Petty, Kiwanis Club;
w. H. Lasseter, Lions Club; all of
the pastors of the churches who will
be represented.
The two Chambers of Commerce

C. Wilkerson, Scout Master, Cecil
Powell as Scout Master of the second
troop and Aubrey Wilcox, assistant
Scout Master.
The following patrol leaders select
ed by the Sunday schools: Chester
Strickland, First Baptist; Albert
Matthias, First Methodist; Virgil

AWAITING WORD FROM THE
CUIUS

There is a noticeable lull among
those who go about ballyhooing pre-
scriptions for a political millennium.
The great West is not reverberating
as 1t did in the days of Bloody
Brides" Waite and later Bryan and
LaFollette. Millenial brews are not
boiling in steaming cauldrons as in
the days when cheap money poul-
tees were being spread and the in
itiative and recall were simmering.
The dear people are for the time fed
up on political miracle making, their
stomachs rebel against the innumer-
able connections. But the lull will
not last. The nausea will pass.
Deft hands will again roll the po=
litical pill and ready tongues pro-
claim that the people are sick and
must be cured.
Meanwhile the prosaic need not be
permitted to pail the Imagination.
Crime controlled government in
localities, that have not been cured
by any political nostrum OF all those
administered, are giving forth daily
stunts which intrigue If they do not
appall. AS If that were not enough
and 1t Is superabundant-we are
subjected to enchantment from I'M
expected sources.
For instance this from a London
attorney who announces communi-
cations with a woman friend, name
Gomaruru, on the planet Mars. Sure
ly this will excite competition rather
than compassion, alas and alack!
Wisconsin, Washington, Oregon, the
canyons of the Rockies. the alluvial
stretches Of the Midwest have they
no friends on Mars. IL not Gomaru-
rus, possibly Lulus? Even now rapt
seers are listening in for telepathic
messages advising them to run amok
with the powers that be. which, of
course--as always-are evil. Eyes
straining for miracles always over
look any of good round about, see no
chance of salvation, in the realities,
in the things that are. We await
the message from Mars-though not
with bated breath nor with disregard
Of the monthly bills. The grocer and
coal dealer must be paid notwith-
standing what the Lulus may send
US from Mars.

1.-The Pixies were going on a picnic.
The Pixie girls had baked the cake and

boys had hitched up two of the farm
horses to the old hay wagon. Care

Bow, wow!" barked Pixie Pup, as
the creaky hay wagon rolled through
the old gate at the end of the meadow.
The road in the woods was rough, and
as there were no springs to the old
wagon, the Pixies bumped up and
down and the hamper came danger
ously near sliding out. At last, how
ever, they reached pretty spot where
the brook tumbled down over rocks
