pared by some of the ladies of the
church with two gqualifications—they
were willing to be unselfish, and they

They were effectively assisted
by Mrs.J. Milton Black and her class
of charming young ladies who did the
serving. They all received a rousing
vote of thanks.
Following the despatching of the
substantial menu with a number of
frills, the flow of reason began with
Paul D; Clutton as toastmaster. He
wittingly sized up the situation and
introduced Rev. J. C. Matteson, the
pastor of the church who spoke on
The Bible Class and Civic Righteous-
ness, pointing out several of the ob-
ligations laid at our door here in
Meyersdale. Kimber Cleaver was
called upon to speak upon The
Teacher and the Class. G. W. Collins,
superintendent of the Sunday school
made some pertinent suggestions on
the relation of the parents to the
Sunday school. S. C. Hartley de-
lighted those present with some inci-
dents of his European trip, notably
the ascending of Mt. Vesuvius. Mr.
Kelly of the Meyersdale Auto Co,
having been called upen for a few re-
marks very nicely and well responded
to the challenge. Rev. Sparling of
Salisbury was an invited guest and
very pleasantly portrayed why maay
men are not members of the Sunday
school class. The president of the
class, Jas. J. Hoblitzell, very aptly
showed up the practical part of the
work of the class and extended to all
a cordial invitation to be present at
the next meeting of the class.
.. J. B. McCarty, into whose there re-
cently was born a little son, having
been called upon for a few remarks,
gaid “You know about what I'd talk

Nelson Ray Fuller, a child of two
years and nine months of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles R. Fuller of Akron, O.,
was buried at Garrett on April 4th.
Mr. Fuller was formerly of this vi-
cinity but has been employed in Ak-
ron for the past five years. Mrs. Ful-
ler is a daugter of Mr. and Mrs.
Nelson Lindeman who live near Riv-
erview Park. The mother was una-
ble to come to the funeral owing to
the ilness of one of the three little
girls which yet remain in ths famly.
The little boy died of epileptic con-
vulsions which the physican said
were incurable. The body was taken
to the home of Nelson Lindeman and
the funeral was conducted there by
Rev. W. H. B. Carney. Mrs. Fuller
is a member of the Brethren Church
but her pastor could not be bad as
he was visiting at Macdonaldton at
the time of the funeral. Mr. Fuller’s
oldest daughter and Henry Lindeman
accompanied him from Akron on his
sad mission.

Chas. Yaist of Transmeyersdale and
has been employed in Youngstown

formrly Miss Ruth McKenzie of Gar-
rett. She was not able to attend the
funeral as she was detained at home

here at one time. In Great Bri
nineteen species have entirely ;
appeared. 3
What is true of birds is also trador
animals. So many kinds whch are
valuable such as the weasel, fox and
policat are very valuable in destroy-
ing insects, mice and rats and there
should be no bounty on thera, In Ohig
the bounty has been removed because
the mice and insects bez mae so
pumerous that the crops were des
troyed.
Just this spring Dr. Surface receiv. |
ed about twenty letters complaining |
pf mice having girdled many fruit |
trees. His answer was that the best
preventative was to take caree of the
enemies of these rodents.
Boys should be warned not to kill
snakes, which, with the exception of
the coperhead and rattlesnake are
harmless, toads, frogs and the salam-
anders, commonly called lizards be-
insects.
Dr. Surface believes that the real
joy in hunting is derived from wander
ing over hill and valley. More real
pleasure and benefit could be derived

carried sticks and the Mom bird she
carried sticks. Sometimes they got
a stick too big for the hole and some
drop it and get another and now they
got four little birds in there,” and
shaking his first, the boy continued,
“if any feller comes to hunt my birds
I'll hurt him.” Where the boy lived
formerly to destroy life his aim was
now to propagate it, thus completely
changing his character.
Dr. Surface was heard with rapt
attention especially by the children
the endyof his talk by their apprecia-
tive attitude, so different from anoth-
er school in this county which he
visited recently where the pupils act-
ed like rowdies.

The living models displayed to

The large store was very tastily

it was quite a gala occasion. Carna-
