The program was largely attended by both old and young and the manner in which it was prepared reflects credit upon the committee in charge. The little folks all took their parts exceptionally j well and anyone who has ever at- tempted to train children for such an undertaking will realize the amount of labor required, i In the evening came the children's day exercises at the Methodist church . whicfi like those of the morning, proved very successful. The church was well nilea with parents and others interested in the affair and the young folks carried themselves in a manner befitting much older heads and winning the hearty ap plause of the audience. i The matter of children's day pro- grams is one that should be encour aged as it not only gives the little ones an opportunity of earning some thing for the missionary cause, but also trains them to take part in pub lic entertainments.

UNION MAN HAS VERY CLOSE CALL Frank Eaton, Residing Southeast of Union is Badly Shocked as Result of Lightning Bolt Striking Barn Frank Eaten, one of the farmers residing southeast of Uaion had a very narrow escape from cath about 5 o'clock Monday afternoon when a bolt of lightning struck, the barn on the fariH and kucoked him uncon scious for several hours. Mr. Eaton was coming to the barn with his horses having completed work in the field, and seeing the storm clouds rolling up decided to tt the ani mals in shelter before the storm burst. He just reached the barn when a sudden lightning bolt struck the structure and hurled Mr. Eaton some distance and rendered him un conscious and several of the horses were also knocked down by the ef fects of the lightning. The roof of the barn was splintered somewhat by the lightning but fortunately the building was not fired from the ef fects of the bolt. Mr. Eaton was carried by members cf the family to the house and Dr. J. F. Brendel'of Murray called to look after the case and it was not urftil five hours later that the patient regained consciousness and is still feeling the effects of the shock, but is thought that he will suffer no serious effects from the experience. The Ball Uame Last Sunday There was a good siza crowd of interested base ball fans present at the opening of the game last Sunday when Umpire Fred Clark called "Play ball!" The game was between Union and a team from Eagle, and during the early stages thereof gave nromise of being an . extraordinary battle, neither side scoring during the first four innings. In the fifth inning, on account of the dense foli age the ball became obscured and was not found until two runs were cored by the visitors. Throughout the game was an ex 'tllent one and the final tally was Eagle. f ; Union. 3. The line up of the two teams was as follows: Eagle Trumble. 3b: Seymour. lb; Caddie, rf: Crabtree. c;C.

DEMOS SEE SUCCESS LOOM UPON HORIZON Vice President Marshall Thinks the Republicans are Not So Well Pleased with Harding San Francisco. June 1".. That the republican leaders are less well pleas ed with the nomination of Senator Warren G. Harding for the presi dency tonight than they were last Saturday was declared by Vice Presi dent Thomas R. Marshall on his ar rival here tonight to attend the democratic national convention. The vice president added that he was not a candidate for the presi dency but. on the contrary was about to retire from politics. He declared that the republicans were in error if they assumed the election of Sen ator Harding was a foregone con clusion and said that President Wil son did not want a third term, but couid be nominated and elected for one if he did. Of Senator Harding's candidacy the vice president said: "The republicans are not so well pleased now as they were on Sat urday night. Personally I have high regard for Senator Harding. I would do anything for him except vote for him. "The republicans are making the mistake of their lives in thinking of the November election as a fore gone conclusion and of the democrats as a disorganized, defeated party. They are going to find us very much alive in November." Lavish Expenditure Decried Mr. Marshall decried lavish ex penditures of money in connection with presidential campaigns. It was "disheartening" he said, adding that he regretted "the republicans were not the only guilty ones." ttOf the democratic convention and his own part as . a delegate in it. the vice president said, "I am here to promote peace and ood will among the delegates at this coming convention." He said so far as tht convention was concerned ' there is no Irish question." and of prohibi tion enforcement he declared that "Nothing is so detrimental to -the country as the passage of laws and the ignoring of those same laws." Mr. Marshall's reference to his re tirement was in answer to an inter viewer's inquiry whether he wus a candidate for the presidential nomi nation. It was: "I am an old man who has torn his hair for Bryan, slaved for Parker and done his hardest for Wilson, and I am about ready to retire from politics." OHIO DEMOCRATS RENEW PUSH FOR COX Columbus. O.. June 1 ."-.Now that an Ohioan has been chosen the stand ard bearer of the republican party. Ohio democrats are redoubling their efforts to obtain another honor for the buckeye Mate by having Gover nor James M. Cox selected by the San Francisco convention as the one to lead their party. No sooner had Senator Harding's nomination bfen assured than former Governor Camp-, bell, an Ohio delegate at large to the democratic national convention, began preparation cf a circular let ter to all democrats setting forth why Governor Cox should be nom inated. "Governor Cox can carry Ohio. What other candidate con match this certainty with even a probability?" the letter declares.
