pher, "that life has no joys while there

CHURCH NOTES.
The Union meetings formerly held in
I the Grace Lutheran church, were last
Sunday transferred to the First Presby
terian church as the former proved t< o
small for the audiences.
The trustees of St. Paul's Orphans
Home. Butler, met in Pittsburg. Mon
day to consider the offer made two
weeks ago for their property. A land
improvement company offered the
trustees $75,000 for the 20 acres of land
around the home, with the purjwse of
laying out a plan of lots. When this
offer was first considered a proposition
was presented for moving the home to
Greensburg. The feeling of 9)me of
the trustees and patrons of the home is
that 3100,000 would be only a fair price
f)T the property, but an option at $75.-
000 is said to have teen given.
Perhaps there are a great many
young people going to church to have a
good time, not being as attentive as they
should. Often times those conducting
the meetings keep the services too long
and forget to quit when they are
through. It reurnds us of a Sunday
school teacher talking until the children
became restless and the speaker, anx
ious to hold theirjittentiou. asked "what
more can I say'? One of the children
exelaimed "you can say*'amen;' " fciren
children know when they haye enough

Announcement of the Awards in the
"Dorothy Dodd" Shoe Prize Competition.
In September we announced an offer of Four Thousand Dollars in Cash Prizes
to the 43 women, who, after actual test by wear, would give the BEST REASONS
WHY the ' 'DOROTHY DODD" SHOE IS SUPERIOR to all others in the following
respects
First—The Style of a "Dorothy Dodd."
Second—The Faultless Fit of a "Dorothy Dodd."
Third—The Flexibility of a "Dorothy Dodd."
Fourth—The Extreme Lightness of a "Dorothy Dodd."
Fifth—The Arch Supporting Feature of a "Dorothy Dodd."
(This Arch-Supporting Feature relieves half the weariness of walking.)
The response has been truly wonderful. The many thousands of replies re
ceived from wearers in all parts of the country are eyidence of the strong hold the
''Dorothy Dodd" Shoe has taken on the popular favor. The character of thous
ands of these replies is proof, also that the "Dorothy Dodd' Shoe has filled a
"long felt want' in giving to women a shoe combining that dainty ' 'feminine
style that appeals to the refined taste, a "faultless fit" and a degree of comfort
never before experienced.
This competition closed January Ist, and the articles received were submit
ted to "The Delineator" to judge and award the prizes. They have ordered the
prizes distributed as follows:
