ADAM Dimes AND
DISCUSSES EVE

Eve shared her apple with Adam
but the Libby high school representa-
tives of that noted parsonage not only
went off in corner to themselves to
enjoy the tasty edibles, but they also
spent some time in talking about poor
Eve in her absence; according to
report made by Mr.. George Vogt.
Stevenson wrote Travels With a
Donkey while on his honeymoon
tour" were the words quoted by Mr..
Vogt from talk given by Mr.. Arthur
Desonia at the Il" club banquet, which
was held at the Model Cafe last Thurs
day evening
While Russell Allen is quoted as hay
ing said that Milton wrote Paradise
Lost after his marriage, and Paradise
ReGained' upon the death Of his wife
The explanation was made by Mr..
George Hayes that these quotations
were entirely disassociated with, any
discussion of Eve, or any OF her klns-
women, and that they were merely
used in speaking of the IL club and
its significance"
After this noble dissertation Mr.
Hayes lapsed into the vernacular OF
common Adanlrby saying that rip

had been in failing health for several
months but Sunday was apparently
feeling real we'll Sunday evening about
7 o'clock he called up from down town
asking if he should bring home some
ice cream, which frequently he did
Mr.. Jaqueth replied that he should
not bother as they had made some
that afternoon and invited him to come
on home and have some with them. He
replied that he would later. However,
it turns out that he did not leave the
pool hall until after $50, and it is esti-
mated he laid on the sidewalk about a
half hour. He was found in reclining
position resting on his side against the
snow that had been piled UP as it was
shoveled from the walk. The doctor,
after being called, stated that he was
probably dead when he struck the
snow His body was still warm when
found.
The discovery was made by Arba
Woods, a young man who happened to
be passing. He at once called MIR. ia
uueth and the two men carried the
body into the house and called the
doctor
Funeral services were held Wednes-
day afternoon at / o'clock from the
Gompf chapel, with the Rev. Orr Off
ciating. The remains were then shipped
to Kalispell for burial in the family
plot in the Conrad cemetery. Short
services were held at the cemetery.
The body was accompanied to Kalis-
pell by Mr.. and Mrs. E. E. Jaqueth-
The deceased was born In Ohio on
Nov. Is, 1859, and was rs years old
at his last birthday. He came to Kali
ispell in the early sos and worked for
several years with his brother. A. l.

then accepted position IN the Nc
Intosh Hardware store where he WAS
employed some 10 or Is year4 LATER
managing store at Eureka FOR the
same company When the town OF
Whitefish was started he opened
store there for himself, selling out in
1914. He thereupon retired and went
back to Ohio, coming to Libby In 1925
to pay his nephew and family visit
and decided to remain here stating that
he would like to work around the j.
& c. store simply to have something
to occupy his time. He was thus oc-
cupied until few months ago when
failing health caused him to stop all
work.
Mr.. Jaqueth had a host of warm
friends here and at Kalispell, who will
mourn his departure. He was always
cheerful and lively, ready for joke
and apparently enjoyed life. He was
very fond Of children and young people
and had helped several young people
through college, generosity which he
practically never mentioned but that
relatives and friends now and then
learned Of His passing will leave va
cancy that cannot be filled.

SPRING SESSION OF NEW
CASTLE PRESBYTERY
Commissioners Elected To
General Assembly-Salary
Question Discussed

At the Spring session Of the
New Castle Presbytery, held
April II and Is in the First
Presbyterian Church, Whining
ton, ministerial commissioners
elected to the General Assem-
bly,, to be held at Columbus,
Ohio, opening May 25, were
Rev. Franklin w. Stevent, pas
tor of the Delaware City Pres
byterian Church, and Rev. J.
Paul Trout, pastor of the Pres
byterian Church at Princess
Anne. Alternate ministerial
commissioners elected were: :
Rev. Wayne A. Monroe, of Fort
Deposit, and Rev. William w.
Thompson, of Elkton.
The elders elected commits
sioners to the General Assem-
bly, were: J. Paul Slaybaugh,
headmaster of West Noting
ham Academy, Colora, and e.
H. Woodward, of Red Clay
Creek Presbyterian Church,
near Newark. The alternate
lay commissioners were: Will
liam Frederick, of Lower Bran
DIVINE Church, near Center
vile, and Nelson T. Forney, of
Dover.
The invitation of Wicomico
Presbyterian Church, of Sails
bury, to hold Presbytery's fall
meeting there October 16 and
II was accepted.
Concurrent with a discussion
on pastors salary reductions,
delegates to the Presbytery de-
feated a proposal that churches
temporarily suspend the pas
tors minimum salaries level
and at the same time call upon
congregations and ministers to
give consideration and patient
indulgence and that no salaries
be lowered wherever possible.
The proposal that the mini
mum salaries of Presbyterian
ministers be temporarily sus-
pended because of the stress
and crises churches are now
facing provoked discussion on
the question of salaries. Prin-
cipal objection to the amend
ment was that while congrega-
lions were urged in the amend
ment not to restort to slashes
in salaries below the minimum
the door for salaries reductions
was at any rate opened and
some congregations might take
advantage and reduce salaries,
even for the time being below
the minimum set by the Pres
bytery. Another principal OBJ
lection was that slashes in sal
aries would affect the pensions
of pastors.

HERD IMPROVEMENT AS
ISOLATION
Annual Meeting And Dinner
Officers Chosen

Dairymen from all over Cecil
county gathered at the New
Central Hotel, Elkton, on Fri
day evening, April IA, for the
annual meeting and dinner of
Cecil County Herd Improve
ment Association.
Following the dinner the
election of officers for the COM
ing year resulted in the follow
ing: Wallace Williams, Pres
ident; Lloyd Balderston, Vice
President; Mrs. II. B. Crow
gey, Secretary and Treasurer.
Board of Directors: Ennis Nc
Grady, L. w. Davis, Jr., and
Ernest Cullen.
County Agent, J. 2. Miller
acted as POSTMASTER. The two
speakers of the evening were
DR.. Herbert Hopes, Bel Air,
Md, and Mr.. J. A. Conover, Ex-
tension Dairy Specialist, Coz
lege Park, Md.
An annual report was given
by Ralph England, the associ-
alton tester, and it showed the
past year had been a severe
test for dairy herd improve
ment work, yet the large num-
Der of dairymen still keeping
records furnished a splendid
demonstration of how much
this method of herd improve
ment is valued.
At the present time when
business is transacted on a mar
row margin of profit, records
become a most valuable guide
and the man that knows the
most about his business is the
one most likely to succeed. AS
individual COW records are nee
essary to determine which are
improbable and which are the
profitable COWS.
The association is neces-
sity, and every dollar invested
is returned many times to the
benefit of the Dairymen.
