We had a good Sunday School session under the supervision of Leonard Beard. As is our custom on the first Sunday of the month we spread the table at the 11 o'clock service and served Communion as per the instruction of Christ. This is a Spiritual feast and if you have no regular place of wor ship we invite you to commune with us the 1st Sunday in Febru- ary. We held election of Sunday school .officers after this service and elected the following officers for the ensuing year. Frank Hib bard, superintendent; Leonard Beard, assistant superintendent; Stella Lee, secretary; Myrtle Pul len, treasurer.

CREDW00D EMPIRE NEWSPAPER PUBLISHERS Unit AGRICULTURAL POSSIBILITIES We have printed on our stationery and have said several times in our columns that we believe we have the "Richest Valley in the World." We have beer severely criticised for so doing----- Nevertheless, w( still believe we have that kind of a valley, and all thi criticism in the world won’t change that belief. We have used the expression alluding to the mm eral deposits all around us, because there are, perhaps more fertile valleys for agricultural purposes than the Illinois Valley, but one will travel far and long to find a more agreeable climate where everything but citrus fruits grow and in abundance. With recent developments there appears a very good chance to conserve our water supplv and when and if this is done and we can irrigate all the avail able tillable land, we will .yet prove to the world that speaking generally, both of agriculture and mineral possibilities, we have the "Richest Valiev in the World.” It does not take much of a dreamer to visualize what a garden this valley would be if plenty of water was available. There are two things lacking to make the valley what we dream for it—Transportation and a market. Neither a burden that cannot be overcome. With a railroad in the offing and willing minds that will look with favor on a co-op organization, these ad verse conditions can be overcome. We are, so to speak, "the last frontier,” the least developed section of the state. What a wonderful opportunity is here for men of vision to make a valley of contented people, in a delightful climate, with the best chance in the world to make a living, and more than anything else a HOME. Where can one find a place in the civilized world more beautiful to make a HOME than in the Illinois Valley. Possibilities are yearning at us to sieze them, and we believe the New Year will see a lot of them taken advantage of and development that we little dream of take form and gradually come into being. These possibilities are ours. We don’t have to ask for them. They an* here. We only have to see them and then act. We have a dream of a beautiful, fertile valley, sur rounded with the riches of the world’s most precious metals. What more can one ask? We still say we have the "Richest Valley in the World," and the world is soon coming to our doorstep to see it. ----------------- o---------------- Parents spend half their time worrying how a child will turn out and the rest of the time wondering when a child will turn in.—Ted Cook. -----------------o—.. - -- POISON PROPAGANDA The world is full of scandal, poison propagandists. We get it all the way from the great nation’s diplo mats down to the small town “wise guy" who imag ines himself quite some feller’. The world is full of it all, so we must not take too much stock of the local "yokel" who, in his own mind, is the smartest boy in town. We are not immune from the propagandist who takes this story or that and goes the rounds with what Tom, Dick and Harry are doing or propose to do and if we don’t do this or that dire circumstances will follow. Men of vision have done a great .job in building Cave City. Men of vision will continue to build a greater Cave City, the propagandist notwith standing. The "wise guy" who goes from this person to that and tells his story, perhaps forgets when the story is repeated several times it gets larger each time, and when the story finally gets back to the originator, he swells up like a poisoned toad and thinks, my, what a "wise guy" am I! A "wise guy" perhaps—Bm a common tattler to us. Honest men nave started a job. and others are coming in to help them do it in an honest way. Listen io the "tattler" if you must, but use the good, common :4*nse God gave you and let's build a beautiful place in a beautiful valley with constructive thoughts. ----------------- o---------------- Almost any day now we expect the service boy at the filling station to lean in and pick our teeth— Type Graphic. o Send The Illinois Valley News To Your Friends J ILLINOIS VALLEY SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH Sablyith School at 1 :45 f>. m. every Saturday.

The few small man ufacturers of 30 years ago advertised Bart McCue to sell their primitive cars, which cost around $3,000 for a “medium-priced" CAVE CITY. ORE model.
