NEW ERA CLUB

Mrs. Harry Cook was hostess for
the New Era club Monday evening,
when 21 members answered roll
call, and Mrs. E. C. Jones and Miss
Edna Jones Of Rokeby and Mrs.
Fred Manly were guests. The club
president, Mrs. Stella Durbin, was
in charge Of the business meeting
Mrs. Cook and Miss Effie Gregg
were in charge of the program, and
Mrs. Cook introduced Miss Edna
Jones who read an interesting pa
per on Alaska. A number of years
ago Miss Jones spent summer
with her brother, Colonel E. C.
Jones, then stationed at Fort Lis
com, Alaska, with the 18th Infantry
of the U. S. army.
The paper was an interesting log
of her trip and a description or his
tory of the country Alaska, pur-
chased at a cost of $7,200,000, has
proved to be one of the most val
liable possessions of the United
States, it's furs, minerals, and fish
cries, having yielded many times
the purchase price 1t is a country
of great extremes of temperature, a
land of wonderful fertility, and ev-
erywhere magnificent scenery.
Miss Gregg presented Mrs. E. c..
Jones, who told in a most interest
ing way of her two years spent in
the army post at Fort Liscom. She
spoke of their home life, the social
life of the post, the long nights,
the short days, the hunting, the fish
ing, the animal life, the wonderful
vegetation, the flowers, vegetables,
and fruits brought to perfection
during the long days of summer.
Mrs, Jones answered many ques-
tions and the whole program was
most interesting and educational.
The club will meet on Nov 8
with Mrs. B. D. Richardson, when
Mrs. Annie Rusk and Mrs. Richard
son are in charge of the program.

could be caustic, in the great tradi-
t1on OF Thomas Mast and the other
giants of whom he himself was one.
But his forte was in the humanness
OF his touch, the faculty which en-
abled him to satirize and gently rid
icule without offense, without ever
letting his rapier become a blud-
geon.
He hated injustice and sham and
pretention and never failed to op-
pose them wherever found. Yet at
the same time his fount of kindly
humor never ran dry and he delight
ed in dwelling on the glories of ma
ture and the out-of-doors and in
emphasizing his sincere conviction
that Ohio in general and Columbus
in particular constituted the garden
spot of the world. He was unique
because he could be both parochial
and universal in his outlook with
out creating an apparent paradox
He is the 10th Ohio journalist to
be added to the Hall of Fame. None
has greater claim to that immor-
tality

OHIO SOLDIERS TO BE
I'm THE MOVIES"

BY arrangement with the war de-
partm the Standard Oil company
Of Ohio is sending a motion picture
crew to Camp Shelby, at Hatties-
burg, Miss. to take movies of the
activities of the 10000 Ohioans in
camp there.
First event to be photographed
will be the formal review of the en-
tire 37th Division by Governor John
w. Bricker on Tuesday, Oct. 21.
Other motion pictures to be taken at
this and other camps, where Buck
eye troops make up large proper
tion of the men training, will show
soldiers in their daily camp life, on
maneuvers, recreation periods, drills
and other activities. 1t will give an
accurate and complete cross-section
of life in military training camp
AS soon as the motion picture is
completed it will be released
through Sohio's motion picture de-
partment for use in schools and be-
fore clubs and organization groups
of all kinds. Many soldiers from

with the weakening of the nation.
v. 2. Behold, the Lord hath a
mighty and strong one which as a
tempest Of hail and destroying
storm, as flood of mighty waters
overflowing, shall cast down to the
earth with the hand" Assyria is
unconsciously Gods instrument for
purging Israel. The figures of
speech employed indicate that the
destruction will be sudden, power
full and without mercy. Let no one
think that taking moral risks and
forgetting God and his will, he can
escape due punishment.
v. 3. "The crown Of pride, the
trodden under feet" Drunkenness
was a national sin in Israel. Let it
be known that every life that ac-
cepts drunken debaucheries shall be
put under foot.
v. 4. "And the glorious beauty,
which is on the head of the fat val
ley, shall be a fading flower, and as
hasty fruit before the summer !;
which when he that looketh upon it
seeth, while it is yet in his hand he
eateth it up" Just as person
eagerly picks and at once eats the
first ripe fruit that appears on a
tree, so Samaria will be swallowed
up as a prey of the Assyrians.
v. 5. "In that day shall the Lord
of hosts be for crown of glory, and
for diadem of beauty, unto the
residue of his people, The time is
predicted when Jehovah, instead of
Samaria, will be the true glory of
the faithful remnant of his people.
v. 6. "And for a spirit of judg-
ment to him that sitteth in judg-
ment, and for strength to them that
turn the battle to the gate" The
Lord will inspire the remnant with
in to administer justice faithfully
and will give strength to repel the
invader.
v. 12. "Woe to him that build
eth a town with blood, and estab-
lisheth a city by iniquity." A city
can not endure when it depends up
on income from drunkenness, vice
and crime.

BILLY IRELAND NAMED
TO HALL OF FAME

Appropriate recognition of one of
the master practitioners of a diff
cult art is given by the election to
the Ohio Journalism Hall of Fame
OF William A. BILLY Ireland who
was editorial cartoonist of the Dis
patch from 1899 to 1885 and origi-
nator and CANTOR of the Passing
Show" page that became an Ohio
institution.
Rules governing elections to the
Hall of Fame, which is sponsored
by the Ohio State university school
of journalism, provide that the
nominees must have been deceased
five years or more and must receive
votes of two-thirds of the judges.
Presentation of Mr.. Ireland's name
evoked an unanimous vote and this
eact, together with his enshrine-
nent there, at the earliest possible
date, testify to his clear title to a
place in a distinguished company.
Billy Ireland was one of the most
potent influences Of his generation
on American cartOoning. Diligent
students of his style are to be found
on many important metropolitan
dailies, contributing widely to the
capitalization OF public opinion.
His genius was many-sided. He

HOMECOMING AT MT. CARMEL

To the giver of every perfect gift
we offer thanks for the beautiful
Sabbath day on which so many
gathered once more at Mt. Carmel
to renew old friendships and to join
in worship. We realize it was
through providence that these good
people were permitted to once again
return to the church where they
first received divine guidance. For
the bountiful dinner which was
spread at noon, we are grateful.
knowing that it is only in land
such as our that such abundance
exists. May every one who partook
of it feel renewed strength to
carry on the battle for right.
We feel deep inspiration from
having heard the songs by the
children in the afternoon, coming
as they did from innocent hearts.
Most of all we should remember
the words of our pastor. Rev. Hol-
yoak, when he said that each one
should carry his childhood instruc-
tions to whatever place one lives,
and to there find, a church home.
Yes, for all this we are thankful

Civic Responsibility Regarding
Beverage Alcohol, Deuteronomy
5:32-33; 11:26-28; Isaiah 23:1-6
for Sunday, October 26:
Civic responsibility covers such
subjects as public education, health,
fire protection, public decency, pub
lie welfare, relief and poverty.
Since the use of alcohol as a
beverage is closely related to some
of these subjects it is a concern of
civic responsibility.
v. 80. "Ye shall observe to do
therefore as the Lord your God
commanded you; We shall not turn
aside to the right hand or to the
left" Moses in concluding his an
nouncements of the different COM
mandments to Israel concluded with
this verse. Note the emphasis on
obeying God, the fact for us to OBJ
serve also.
v. 33. "Ye shall walk in all the
ways which the Lord your God hath
commanded you, that We may live,
and that it may be well with you,
and that ye may prolong your days
in the land which We shall possess. =
Moses is thinking primarily of their
national welfare and of their con-
tinued existence as asnation. Dis
obedience would spell national ruin.
V. 26. "Behold, l set before you
this day blessing and curse
Moses presents the outcome OF
obedience and of disobedience clear
ly and forcibly in order that the
people may choose intelligently
With the open Bible we can be in
telligent enough to make right de-
cisions.
V.27. "a blessing, if We obey the
commandments of the Lord your
God which command you this
day." Be it known that command
ments obeyed produce the blessings
of God. Here is the way to be hap
py in this life as we'll as in the life
to come, for blessing and happiness
are closely related.
V. 28. "And curse, If ye will
not obey the commandments of the
Lord your God, but turn aside out of
the way which l command you this
day to go after other gods, which
We have not known" Punishment
will be meted out to those who do
not accept Gods orders. On the
other hand no man nor nation can
stand long against the children of
God because he has promised final
triumph.
v. 1. "Woe to the crown OF
pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim,
whose glorious beauty is fading
flower. which are on the head of the
fat valleys of them that are over
come with wine!" Samaria is the
crown of pride to Israel, because of
its beautiful setting. Because OF its
character it is destined to fade. The
prophecy pointed to Assyria which
in due time conquered these people.
Note that wine had something to do

Manners
of the
Moment

A hostess who has rickety an
tique chairs on which she breads to
see heavy men sit, should either
never invite heavy men into her
drawing room, or should engineer
matters in such a way that the men
are firmly led 70 the solid chairs.
1t may be rather hard for very
polite man to sit in the big easy
chair while his hostess perches
stiffly upon the antique. But if
things are arranged the other way
around, both hostess and caller will
be miserable.
A clever hostess can usually man
age to seat man in the big chair
when he first comes in by some
ruse about the other chairs being
more convenient for her. Then it's
not hard to keep him there if he is
comfortable. But if the hostess
slips up at first, she'll never be able
to make him move without insulting
him about his weight or making
him feel that he shouldn't have
come at all.
OF course. there is one other So
luton, which is to throw out the
antiques. But that's pretty drastic.
