Murray Church of Christ.
Laymen should take a real inter

no preacher can do it all.
Men may be sound in doctrine but
only sounding brass.
Will Christian laymen sit idly by
with folded hands, while the Devil
and his imps nullify the Eighteenth j
amendment to the'eonstitution.
All Christians should unite to see'
that this is not done. I
This leads us to say that a way
can and must be found to unite God's
people and preachers must find the
way and lead therein. !
The people do not wish to be en
tertained by the sermon; they want
the springs of eternal Ijfe renewed.

Women's Home Ecnomics
Achievement Days
The two Achievement Days held
under the leadership of Mrs. Henry
Smith of Weeping Water, and Mrs.
John Fischer of AIvo were a success
jbeyond all dreams of realization. .r00
attended the meeting of the 14 clubs
i in the eastern half of the county, and
400 in the western half. Each club
took part in the program. There
were songs, playlets, original stunts
and special music. All rroject leaders
and members or the clubs did their
part to make these achievement days
a success. There were a large ex
hibit of the work accomplished in
each club.
It seems that the Time Savers in
Construction course under the di
rection of Miss Rocke, State Home
Demonstration Agent, has created
more interest and accomplished more
good than any other project. This
is partly due to the fact that the
women in the county realize now the
value of project work.
Mrs. Henry Smith and Mrs. John
Fischer were presented with pins at
Organized Agriculture as were the
other county chairmen of the state.
At our county achievement meeting
the former county chairman. Mrs.

to a better year than ever, if that
is possible.

The testimony was rjuite conflicting

the boys had been found sleeping in
the stock yards and had appeared to
be under the influence of liquor when
aroused by the marshal, had been
red eyed and unsteady when first
woke up but later had walked all
right. The three defendants testi
fied that they had been at. Omaha
on Saturday to attend the theatre
and had not returned home until
early Sunday morning and had been
without sleep and had gon to the
stock yards Sunday morning and
laid dow n to sleep and where 'they
were found later by the marshal. All
of the young men denied having had
a drink.
After hearing the evidence in the
case and weighing the matter for
some time Judge Duxbury returned a
finding of guilty and assessed each
of the young men $25 and costs.
