ciety met at the regular time in April
with twelve members present. The fol-
lowing visitors were present, Mrs. R. c.

Frank Mooney. Mrs. Higgins was ex-
tended a cordial welcome to the
men mbership of the society. The officers
gave splendid reports for the month.
Plans were submitted for supplement
ing the local fund and heartily approved
by the auxiliary. 1t is the aim of the
organization to meet all obligations in
full this year, and an earnest effort is
being made to keep pledges and dues
paid up to date. Chinese women in 1881
sent three times as much money to the
conference treasurer as they spent on
their local churches. This is a fine
example for the missionary societies of
North Mississippi Conference. The
members of the baby division will meet
Friday, April 20 for their second meet
ing. Fourteen children have been en-
rolled by Miss Myrtle McDougal, super
intendent. The mission and Bible study
group met at the regular time with six
present and one visitor. An
effort is being made to reach the stan
dard of excellence. To attain this
standard the average attendance for
the year must equal one-half of the
membership of the auxiliary. The two
required courses for the year have been

Fools Gold" Has Many Uses

Pyrite, which, owing to it's yellow color, has so frequent ly been mistaken for gold as to earn the name of "fools gold,' has a number of i'm portant commercial uses, ac- cording to the United States Bureau of Mines, Department of Commerce. .i
 The principal uses for pyrite are in the manufacture of sul- phuric acid and sulphite wood pulp. Pyrite is used in smelters as fluxing agent to furnish iron for the slag. Minor uses are in radios, jewelry, vermil- lion paints or for the manufac- ture of copperas, which is used in dyes, writing ink, wood preservatives, disinfectant, and certain kinds of fertilizers. The term pyrites is the indefinite general trade name for any of the iron-sulphide minerals con- taining' from 25 per cent to over 50 per cent of sulphur. The minerals composing this group are chiefly pyrite, mar castle, and pyrrhotite. The name is derived from a Greek word meaning fire, and al- ludes to the brilliant sparks produced when the mineral is struck with iron.

Weather Man Troubled

The vagaries of the weather have been more universal theme of comment than is usu- al, owing to the remarkable number of changes occurring i virtually every twenty four hours during the past two weeks. Changes in the gener- al character of the weather and temperature vary widely, some times running practically the whole gamut of types common to this region every day. All of which indicates that old Jupiter Pluvius is in a very choleric state of mind regard ing what kind he is going to deal out to Us. The old timers say it's the toughest winter on record.

 The verse follows:
 When the fire siren is blowing, With it's loud and mournful cry,
 And the flames and sparks Are shooting to the sky;
 You are sorry for the fellow With troubles beyond endurance, But you're glad it wasn't your home That burned without insurance.

kisses of The First Year" that
most trying adjustment period of
young love, constitute the dramatic
motivation of Janet Gaynor's and
Charles Farrelrs latest Fox picture,
now is its second week at the
Apollo.
The First Year" presents a new
Janet. Petite and piquant as ever,
she has forsworn the pathetic for
the positive in her characterize
tom
With new hair dress, with smart
modern frocks, she is said to bring
an entirely fresh and inspiring por-
trayal to the screen in this. her
first entirely grown-up role.
Farrell, too, is different. He is
seen as an ambitious young business
man, harasSed, it is true. by the diff
ticulties of becoming established in
a strange town, but on the whole a
capable, energetic young fellow out
to prove that he can make his way
in the world.

though they are not in the army
this time.
McLaglen portrays a detective
captain, and Lowe has the role of
a police reporter.
Guilty as Hell" besides bringing
this acting team together on the
screen once more, is said to be dis
tinguished by the fact that it is
different from previous murder sto-
ries.
The audience sees the murder be-
ing committed in the opening scene,
knows who the criminal is, and
watches an innocent man become
entangled in web of circumstan-
tial evidence that leads to his be-
ing sentenced to hang.
At the outset, the film shows a
physician numbering his wife and
covering up all traces of his act.
He places in her hand a broken
watch-fob to incriminate another
man. McLaglen and Lowe, work
ing on the case, trace the fob to
Richard Arlen. He admits ne had
been intimate with the slain wom-
an, and insists he is guiltless of the
murder. This, Of course, the audi
ence knows him to be. The doctors
cunning tricks and we'll planned
evidence causes Arlen to be con-
victed.
Meanwhile, Lowe has fallen i'll
love with Adrienne Ames-cast as
Arlens sister-and he decides to
help her free her brother. Bungling
along more or less blindly toward
this end, he gets himself and Nc
Laglen into many an amusing stu
alton before finally succeeding. A
surprise twist at the end leads to
the climax.
