(To late for last week)
It actually rained at Euergy
April 28th, since which time a
broad grin is plainly visible on Mr.
Farmer's face. Various are the op-
inions as to the results on the
small grain, all however are hope,
ful that the erop will not be an
entire failure, and the prospect*
at this time are favorable for more
rain, which means more wheat and
oats.
1 think Brother Fitts knocked
the black out in the Chief a few
weeks ago and ranks with Foster
as a weather prophet.
Uncle Jimmie Robinson and fam-
ily have returned from Stanton
where they visited his son, John
and family.
Prof. George Matthews and fam-
ily are moving hack to his farm
northwest of (Justine, the school
here of which he was principal,
having closed on account of meas-
les. We have sure had a time in
this community with measles, and
like the army conscript bill is get-
ting them all.
1 am glad our president is not
like some of hi* intense admirers,
and does not consider himself in-
fallible, but desires criticisms on
his public acts. and.instead of con-
signing Champ Clark to eternal
oblivion, will consider him, as he
is, a friend, honest in his opinion,

time comes, in upholding and de-
fending the honor of America, his
sort are the men the country must
rely upon in times like these.

Sunday.
By a unanimous vote Sunday
our church expressed the wish that
our representative and senator op-
pose the proposed law that was
before the legislature this week for
an open Sunday for theatres and
picture shows in our larger cities.
Telegrams were sent to Senator
Woodward and Representative Ca-
denhead Sunday :night. Senator
Woodward has responded thank-
ing us for the expression of our
wishes in the matter, and pledging
himself to oppose the proposed
law.
Our Ladies’ Aid will have their
first lesson next Tuesday .in their
new mission study book, Brazilian
Sketches. All the members of the
society *re urged to be present
for that meeting.
We invite not only our new mem
he present for the morning sermon
Sunday, but all thetnen and wom-
en in the community. Just at this
time war is a live subject. We are
striving to find the mind of God as
revealed in the Bible and wifi dis-
cuss the question of war at 11 o'-
clock Sunday, using the theme,
“Jehovah, the Man of War.” At
8 o’clock p. m., wc shall bring an
evangelistic message and those
who are seeking to know the
“Way of Life” are especially urg-
ed to come.

The form and flavor of any me.ii-
,cine is very important, no matter
who is to take it. The taste a:ld
appearance are especially important
when children are concerned. Alt
parents know how hard it is to gne
the average child "medicine,” even
thougH the taste is partially tiip-
gbiyed. In using Dr. Miles’ Lax-
ative Tablets, however, this difti
culty is overcome. The shape of
the tablets, their appearance apd
candy-Jike taste at once appeal to
any child, with the result that they
are taken without objection. 1
