CERMANSAFTER
NOVELTY FIELD
Articles Made for Daily
Use Designed to Catch
Ones Imagination

Leipzig (UP)--Germany is striv-
ing to out do the rest of Europe in
creating novelties and art products
to appeal to women and the home.
Countless articles for daily use, or
are being especially de-
signed to catch the imagination.
The most brilliant shops of Paris,
London and Vienna are being in
vaded by these new art products.
AS q basis for such products lies
the creative skill of German peas
ants, who have been trained for
centuries. The best designers Of the
great cities now are being encour-
aged to turn out attractive novel;
ties. Nothing is too small. or in
consequential, to escape their at
tention. The cheapness of labor
makes il possible to supply such
articles at surprisingly low prices.
A fascinating exhibition Of the
newest creations has been held in
connection with the Leipzig Fair.
The Grassi Museum, which is de-
voted to such displays, admits only
exhibits Of recognized artistic mer-
its. Here are displayed for the
first time Thousands Of attractive
novelties.

UNION VACATION
Bible SCHOOL
ON JUNE 10TH
Superintendent And Pastors To
Meet To Discuss Sunday
School Work
THIRTY HOURS BIBLE
INSTRUCTION PROPOSED

A conference of Sunday School Super
intendents and pastors Of the town
was held in the Baptist Church in
March, for the purpose of discussing
ways and means of creating greater
interest in the Sunday School work.
Out of this discussion there grew
the idea of having a Union Vacation
Bible School for the boys and girls Of
the town during two weeks in June.
For 2 years the Presbyterian Church
has been conducting Bible School
with marked success, and increasing
attendance and interest. A special
Committee was appointed to present
definite plan for School this sum-
mer.
At the meeting in April, the pro-
posed plan was unanimously adopted,
and Immediately Board of Directors
was named, representing all church
es of the town. President Of Board:
Mr.. Harry Appleton; V-Pres. Mr..
Harry Melvin; WIRES, Mr.. Geo. Rich
ardson; Secretary, Mrs. Dawson
Clarke; Dean of School, DR.. S. J. Ven
able. All the pastors of the town
were named as ex-officio members of
Board.
All the Churches of the town will
hold their Children's Day on June Q,
and the Vacation Bible School will be-
gin the following morning, June 10,
and continue for two weeks. There
will be nine grades, ten teachers and
arrangements for 200 pupils. The
Primary division Grades 1, 2, 81 will
be held in the M. P. Church; Junior
Division Grades 4, 5, 81 will be held
in the Presbyterian Church; and the
Intermediate Division (grades z, s, -
will be held in the Baptist Church.
The final commencement will be held
in Salem M. E. Church, Sunday even
ing. June 23rd.
Thirty hours of Bible instruction
will: be given the children during the
two weeks, this being several hours
in excess of the possible hours of in
struction in Sunday School for whole
year. This School should be great
blessing to the children, so the par
ents are urged to cooperate with the
Churches in making the Bible School
a great success.

REPORT INDICATES CUT
WORMS ARE PLENTIFUL

Reports from various sections in the
state indicate that cut worms are
plentiful this year and have caused
considerable damage especially to to-
matoes where the crop follows grass
or sod land. Ten to twelve pounds
Of poison bait to the acre applied to
the field broadcast or used in small
quantities around the plants in the
late afternoon will control the worm.
The mixture is as follows:
Is pounds wheat bran; pound
Paris Green or Calcium Arsenate; 2
quarts cheap molasses (strong grade)
2 to 8 gallons water; 8 oranges or
lemons, finely chopped may be added.
This is not necessary but will make
the bait more attractive to cut worms.
Be sure to keep the bait away from
poultry and other livestock.
In preparing the mixture, mix the
bran and Paris Green thoroughly in
the dry state. In a separate contain
err mix molasses, water, oranges OF
lemons. Then mix the two. This
should be moist, not sloppy.
For further information get in touch
with the County Agent.

LIQUOR CONTROL BOARD
PAYS COUNTY $4,000

The Liquor Control Board on Tues
day delivered to the County Commits
sioners a check for $4,000 toward
taxes for the 1886 Levy. This
amount is equal to the County tax on
more than million dollars, or five
cents of the tax rate, on our present
taxable basis. While the law permits
the Board to keep a reserve capital
of 100000; they felt the taxpayers
need was so pressing they must assist
to the utmost, retaining only a safe
margin for capital reserve. Their re-
port will be published shortly.
