PLYMOUTH, Mass., March 5. Moon

As the scenes are to be set on the

To obtain the best artistic effects it
has been decided to hold the events at
night, making the moon a factor in

the .almanao was consulted for the
most advantageous dates. G. P. Bak

seven episodes, portray'ng the lives
of the fathers in many separate
scenes.

the churches were closed by the "flu
ban," through the courtesy of A.
Merrlsse, editor of the White Salmon
Enterprise, Rev. C A. Stillman, pas
tor of the local Congregational
church, published a department In
that paper which he called "Stillman's
Corner." The "corner" was replete
with pertinent comments on the af
fairs and conditions of the day and
helpful, uplifting thoughts. As con
ditions became normal the "corner"
was discontinued, but the reverend
gentleman confesses that since then
Ic has been his ambition to develop
the Idea Into a paper of his own.
Last week a creditable little mag
azine of 16 pages, HVtxS Inches la
size, made its initial appearance,
called "Stillman's Corner, published
monthly in the interests of practical
Christianity; O. A. Slillinan, editor
and pubUiksr." .
