biggest meeting of the season. Oh

When Rev. Huff, the new pastor
assigned to this circuit, took the pull
pit at this place, his first shot was a
good one, and had it been made so
years ago it would have proven ia
tal,-to the preacher. He would
have been obliged to pack his car
pet-sack and move his freight. His
first was, "Is this the size of the
choir" We wanted it enlarged.
Have you an orchestra We have,
but it wasn't functioning. Half a
century ago it was very difficult to
get little innocent organ installed
in some churches, and at the men
tion of a fiddle, some would almost
go into Mysteries Ignorance, witch
craft, and superstition, remnants of
the dark ages, played havoc with
King David's idea of church music
Monday, Sept. 80, is to be a red
letter day for the Renrock church.
The Cambridge district M. P. con-
ference convenes here, and at night
young peoples program will be
given.
Many around here are expecting
to attend the re-dedication of the
church at Mt. Carmel, next Sunday.
You do not have to read between
the lines to see that the NJ e. con-
ference, which recently convened at
Columbus, is desirous of bringing
about some much-needed reforms.
We like the way that they go after
things No hiding in the bushes or
lodging behind pulpits making faces
at the devil in regard to some fast
growing evils.
Several Morgan county folks were
at the homecoming at Hoskinsville,
Sunday.
Back in our calf days when we
had to depend upon men like Nc
Guffey for knowledge, we read about
"The freaks of frost" When Jack"
made his initial appearance the 9TH
er night he still appeared freakish;
here on the low lands the corn was
scarcely touched, while beyond the
divide, toward Cumberland, the
crop is seriously injured.
Sorry we didn't get to attend the

Marquis is going to tell at the next

the players kick the ball just for one

Friends please don't send any mon

we had thought, but don't worry
we will find way to get it out. Hon
estly, it is a much greater job than
we anticipated. But folks are help
ing nicely. In running back the
family trees of Bristol folks, instead
of finding that we came up we find
our foreparents were men and wom-

year we will advertise the agricul-
tural resources Of Minnesota just as
vigorously and extensively as we have
been advertising our recreation at
fractions. This means that there is
not a county or community in the
state that has not an tense interest
in the activities of the Ten Thousand
Lakes-Greater Minnesota Associa-
ton.
"In outlining our advertising and
publicity program for 1929 we have
sought the cooperation Of leading
business men of our state. We have
called in agricultural experts to help
us in preparing our farm advertising
and have been assured the continued
assistance of these men in building
an effective permanent program. In
selecting our advisory committee we
have invited the very highest type of
men in our state to become members
We are utilizing advice and counsel
of our advisory committee in our adj
vertising and publicity campaigns.
We may call on members occasional
ly to give us more definite information
concerning their respective counties
to be passed on by us to prospective
citizens, and cooperative with us in
other ways in selling Minnesota to
the world"

dictate what methods of meeting pro-
blems are now in use throughout the
state, and to familiarize those in at
tendance with the work already being
carried on by various agencies. At
the same time, there will be oppor-
tunity for discussion of special pro-
blems that concern this and surround
ing counties.
At similar series of conferences
held last year at Mankato, Bemidji,
Virginia and Mora there were dis
cussions centering in the state care
of the crippled, the relation of the
state University to the local COM
munity and its problems, the work
of the county clubs for women, the
work of the State Board of Control,
and the present state program of
ifant and maternity hygiene. At
these meetings last year speakers
were brought from all over the state,
and this plan will be followed at all
the meetings this spring. Represent
atives of the sponsoring organizations
will be present, us we'll as others

firing some Of these bonds, but this
neat sum Babcock wants to use in
paving main-travelled roads, and he
also wants to use most Of the gas tax
money that will be coming in the next
five or six years for the same pur-
pose. Let the county bonds be paid
later, says he. Of course, if this pro-
gram is followed, Mr.. Babcock will
have just as much money as if the
$4,000, 000 bond issue went through.
The bill increasing the gas tax
from 2 to cents a gallon was recon-
mended to pass by the house commit
tee on highways and it will be rather
surprising if it doesn't become law.
The Big Three are supposed to be
very closed listed but apparently they
are more generous toward the Uni
versity than the appropriations COM
mittee of the house. The finance COM
mittee of the senate is the most liber-
al of all, being in favor of granting
the requests of the University in full,
or nearly so. The Big Three won't
allow anything for new buildings at
this time and also frown on salary
increases to professors, so they cut
big slice out of the University's
allowance, but the other day the house
financiers cut out 100000 more.
By its big slash the house commit
tee laid the foundation for a compro-
mise-one the basis of the Big Three's
figures. And the house committee
will, in all Likelihood, win, for they
will have the backing Of the rural
districts of the state, among whose
people there is general feeling that
the University is asking entirely too
much, that it has enough buildings
for the time being and that the pro-
fessors are already well paid.
"No question is ever settled until
it is settled right" That's a good
old proverb in which Representative
S. A. Stockwell of Minneapolis de-
voutly believes. Therefore he puts
up fight at every session of the leg
islature for an amendment to the
state constitution authorizing the
people to take the waterpowers. His
bill was turned down by the house
committee few days ago, but Stock
we'll brought in minority report and
put up a good fight for its adoption
only to be defeated, Of course, as the
average member regards public own
ership of the waterpowers as mere
socialistic dream. And that's what
the waterpower trust wants them to
believe.
The war between the sheep raisers
of Minnesota and the friends of the
dog has broken out again in the legis-
lature-I say again, for this war has
been about as persistent as the Punie
wars of old. Some twenty members
sponsor the anti-dog bill in the house
at this session.
