These notes are written while at meetings in Anprora. The meetings are starting out nicely, the crowds are fine and interest good. This week the prayer meeting was in the hands of brother Corp, and a good time was en joyed. This next Sunday, previous to the evening sermon, sister Tibbita will discuss the topic, "Safeguards for Young Girls." She will no doubt have some interesting things to say, as she thinks that men do not give a girl a fiiuare deal either before or alter she falls. Come and hear her. Let's have a full turnout at Bible school this week. The men's Bible class study further the subject "Sancti fication." We welcome all ages, as we have classes to accomodate every class and condition from the babe to the old. Brother John Groce will hereafter teach the young men's Bible class as these have been without a teacher for several weeks now. Subjects for the sermon next Sunday as follows: "A -Misleading Advertisement, Widely Kead" and "The Parable of the Tal ents". Welcome to the church with a friendly grip. B. J. MINORT, Pastor CHURCH OF CHRIST "Fidelity's Reward" is the subject for the sermon which the minister will preach to the young people next Lord's tlay morning. This will be stimulat ing to the development of the chris tian experience. We will expect a great number of young people present at this service. At the evening hour we will join with others at the M. E. church and hear Dr. Theodore Hanson deliver his message on "The Public Welfare." This will be a great opportunity for all to hear this man who has had many years of experience in this work. So many demands have been made upon our young people to repeat the play, "The Early Bird," that they have decided to give it either the 14 or 16 of March. The exact date will be an nounced later. March 12 will be "Married Folk Day" and this will be one of the great est services in the pre-Easter cam paign. These are times for us to re member that the success of this work depends upon your efforts at personal evangelism. How many are you going to win to Christ? Every individual in every department at work will an swer this question with results. Come to the church with a message and a welcome. STEPHEN J. EPLER, Minister A. H. Newman of Belmont was as signed first trick at Broken Bow, which was open for bid on account of the resignition of B. F. Williams. Mr. Newman's former position, at Belmont is now open for bid to Alliance division agents and operators. The second trick at Broken Bow has also not been assigned. Fireman Van Holtz is on the mar ket for a substantial watch nnd key chain. He says if it "ain't my keys, its something else." After leaving a set of keys near a local station switch stand, the last one was to leave his watch in "soak" at Seneca, only the "soak" was a wash room in the round house. Both articles were recovered. Conductor F. J. O'Connor left last Saturday night for Oklahoma, where he was called owing to the death of his sister who formerly resided in Mon tana. The body was being taken to Oklahoma for burial on the same train that Mr. O'Connor left on. U. S. internal revenue forms No. 1099 have been mailed to all Burling ton employes, that they may state the amount of income derived from their occupations during the year of 1921 for income tax payments. Owing to lack of back pay checks and a slight reduction in wage scales, the state ments for the most part will be lower than for the previous year. The Alliance-Seneca work train is now unloading ties and cinders be tween Whitman and Hecla, and expects to have this work completed by the end of the week. Conductor Ward and En gineer C. J. Young are in charge of the train. A new schedule for telegraphers f the Burlington, as well as other rail ways, was signed up by representa tives from both sides in Chicago the first of this month. No one from here has as yet seen a copy of the new schedule and surmises and rumors are going broadcast about some of the new clauses. As far as can be learned no reduction in pay will take place on this date, although a clause will be re moved whereby a telegrapher out of work may "bump" the youngest opera tor, regardless of having over a year's seniority, as has been previously the case, although this will only benefit operators displaced on and after March 1. SOME DEFINITIONS NOT IN WEBSTER'S (By A. J. Hayseed) LUTHERAN CHURCH Services Sunday afternoon at 2:30 in English. A series of biographical Lenten addresses will be preached in; the Lutheran church. The sermon topic for Sunday afternoon is: "Judas the Apostle Turned Traitor." Come and hear the old, old gospel truth pro pounded from the Lutheran pulpit. F. DROEGEMULLER, Pastor. METHODIST CHURCH Usual Sundav mornincr services will be held at which the pastor will preach. j In the evening, there will be a union' welfare meeting at our church at which Dr. Theodore Henderson of Den ver1 will speak. Many people will re member Dr. Henderson, who was here i.bout a year ago and was the speaker at a three days' welfare campaign held at the Presbyterian church. He will speak only the one night this time, and all people who desire to hear him must come next Sunday night The probable date of entering the new church is Sunday, March 19. The program and final plans will be announced later. At the official board meeting last Wednesday night, plans were outlined for the social activities to be carried on in the community hall of the new church. An advisory committee con sisting of C. A. Dow. Mrs. Inice Dun ning, and W. R. Pate were elected with whom the pastor is to confer with regard to social activities and use of the rooms. It was decided that when the rooms were not in use by organi zations of the church they were to be at the disposal of the public for va rious meetings and social events, upon payment of a nominal fee to cover cost of upkeep. It is understood, however, that the advisory committee with the pastor reserve the right to pass on all applications for the use of rooms, also that the kitchen with it equipment is not to be used by other than church organizations. Those wishing to use the community hall or gymnasium, should notify the pastor, as he is authorized to make all the bookings. The cost of running the new church, with the enlarged social program, will be near 50 per cent higher than in the old church, where about the only min istration was from the pulpit, nnd while it was decided that no charge should be made to members of chirch or Sunday school for gymnasium priv ileges at the present time, in view of the increased cost of operation, c ery one will be asked to become regular contributors to the church and so help, according to their ability, to keep t ie church going. Also, many of our peo ple, in view of the lartrer opportunity for service, will be willing to increase their pledges toward the running ex penses of the church. MEARL C. SMITH, Pastor. An Egotist Is one who tackles things where others would hesitate, and without taking a proper inventory of his ability. The city boy who, on his first visit to the city, tickled a mule's hind legs with a stick to make him jump was a club member in good standing. An Atheist A narrow minded man with visions unusual. The tribe was numerous in the early part of this cen tury, and made quite an effort to put the church in the discard without of fering anything to replace it socially. They shot many poisoned arrows at the ministry while the battle was on, but lost. Are now almost an extinct race. Wanted to Buy Your fat hogs or ship them or commission. O'Bannon & Neuswanger. 17-tf An Idealist Is someone who be lieves it is possible to make this old world into a second balcony to heaver during his lifetime. One Otto Muts of this state is the most recent addition with a book entitled, "A Christian De mocracy." He thinks it possible to do away with all but the good in politics, and elect and keep men in office whose whole thought will be for the public they serve and never for self. Otto's county should give him a few terms in office as county commissioner or coun ty assessor. The compensation in either is so small that he would need a sideline to be able to wear society clothes, but it would be a great chance for him to get acquainted with the public. A Pessimist Generally of the male species and not always long-haired. According to his theories, everything has gone to pot or is on the simmer. There are very many pessimists, and they may be divided into two classes. One tours the country on through trains in garb that would take a prize at a hard times dance. The other holds forth on his native curbstone and sometimes wears diamonds. Their tales of woe may be anywhere be tween how the razor pulled at the last shave to what an awful job the gov ernment did in engineering our part of the late war. An Optimist Is the pride of the nation and to be found in quantities in both sexes. They see some good in almost everything; meet difficulties with a smile and a tightening up of the tension of will power, and the bat tle is on again. They are the ball bearings that make the wheels go round on posterity's wagon. Many town people think farmers as a class a pessimistic, but this is a mistake. Among them are found the greatest optimists ever put on exhibition; oth erwise they could not survive the rav ages of grasshoppers, chinch bugs, drouths and hail storms. The talks they make on the street corners occa sionally in the winter time, although they sometimes sound like it, are not real pessimism. They have been lone ly on those snow-banked farms and just want to make a noise that can be heard outside the family circle. A holdup man is one who prefers to pay for his money with years of hard labor after he gets it. Federation of Labor Officials Condemn the Volstead Act Krneal of the Volstead prohibition enforcement act nnd substitution of a measure permitting sale of light wines and beer Is urged by the executive council of the American Federation of Labor in a statement which calls upon citizens to join with the labor organizations in a campaign with those objects in view. The statement denounces the Vol stead act as "a docile nnd moral fail ure" and "a dangerous breeder of dis content and contempt for the law." The council, which . concluded a week's session Saturday night, pre viously announced its intention to participate in the congressional elec tions through a nonpartisan campaign committee which will endorse and op pose candidates of major political parties, or enter independents If that course is considered most effective. "Before this decision was reached," the councils announcement said, "there was caused to be made nn exhaustive investigation of the Volstead act. It was shown by this investigation that there had been: "A general disregard of the law among all classes of people, includ ing those who made the law. "Creation of thousands of moon shiners among both country a,nd city dwellers. "Creation of an army of bootleggers. "An amazing Increase in the traffic in poisonous and deadly concoctions and drugs. "An increased rate of insanity, blindness and crime among users of these concoctions and drugs. "Increase in unemployment. "Increases in taxes to city, state iyil national governments amounting to approximately $ 1,000,000,000 per year." The federation did not protest against the constitutional amendment embodying the prohibition policy, the statement emphasized, but considered the Volstead net "an improper inter pretation of the amendment," and stood instead for "reasonable interpre tation in order that the law may be enforceable and enforce!." If Mr. Edison has nil the nnxieties j about the future of the world that are j attributed to him, the fact that he I does not undertake to sleep much Is not at all surprising. The old-fashioned greeting, "Hello where are you going?" is almost ob- solete. It Is quite generally taken for granted these days that it is to th movies. Luckily, most people with hardening of the arteries ride in automobiles. Otherwise the announcement that gar lie will cure that disease would make the streets unbearable. The only daylight saving that is worth a thrip is that which nn indus trious man salts down with true ser vice. Davlight Is not saved by mon keying with the hands of a clock. The soviet government his issued trillions of rubles, making it possible for a man with a hen that lays an egg a week to bo a multi-millionaire. In the old days the youth was told to hitch his wagon to a star. Today it is a qestion of stopping him from hitching his roadster to a comet.
