1 SOCIETY OF FEDERATE!
CHURCH BEGSNEWBR'$ IRK
First Meeting Last Tuesday. To Study tie Child in Foreign
Lands, Year's Program Pu'ilisiiej in Full.
The Women's Missionary Society of
the Federated Church held their first
meeting after the summer vacation at
the Church parsonage last Tuesday.
The officers this year are Mrs. E. D.
Brown, President; Mrs. A. M. Phelps,
Vice-President; Mrs. W. E. Pruyne,
Corresponding Secretary; Mrs. W. W.
Smead, Recording Secretary and Mrs.
N. E. Winnard, Treasurer. The Pro
gram Committee consists of Mrs.
Pruyne, Mrs. Notson; Miss Lulu
Hager and Mrs. Long.
The Society will take up the study
of children in Foreign lands and the
meetings last Tuesday dealt with "The
Child in its Helplessness" by Miss
Culbertson and ' The Child in the
Home" by Mrs. Briggs. These papers
showed how the children have practi
cally no child life, as in many coun
tries they are married when voune.
The parents of the large majority are
ignorant and the child grows up in
ignorance and superstition. The home
influences are not conducive to good
cimensnip and only the bare neces
sities of life are furnished. The rea-
sons why we should take an interest
in these children was presented. The
society subscribes money for their edu
cation and teachers are maintained
by funds raised to carry on the work.
The Treasurer, Mrs. Winnard, an
nounced that $54.00 had been raised
for Missions durings the past year.
A part of this goes toward the support
of a missionary in China. There were
thirty-two members and visitors pres
ent and light refreshments consisting
of home-made cookies and coffee were
served. The hostesses were Mes
dames Long, Patterson, Brown and
Baldwin and to these go the credit for
a very profitable and pleasant afternoon.

Mr. Herb Driscoll left the city last
Wednesday for The Dalle. The re
porter of the Semi-weekly first sus
picioned something was wrong with
the young man when he purchased
two tickets. A short time afterwards he
saw him pacing the platform and
anxiously looking at his watch. It
was foun minutes until the hour for
the train to depart. Suddenly up the
road came D. E. Gilman in his Ford
and a minute later Miss Laura Crewd
son alighted.
Herb told us as the train was leav

return in two weeks. They were
married yesterday in Goldendale,
Washington. Miss Crewdson's parents
live in the Parker's Mill country and
she has been with the D. E. Gilman

and since Morrow County won with a
margin of nine points it goes to
show that we have something to be
proud about.
Ihe exhibit was arranged by Mr.
Smead with the assistance of Mr.
Freytag. When it was announced
that Mr. Freytag would lend his help
in the placing of the exhibit, everyone
knew that whoever beat Morrow Coun
ty would have to have a far superior
exhibit, as Mr. Freytag knows the ex

The business men of the town pay
ed for the expense incurred in the
undertaking and certainly come in
for a large share for the honors.
This makes a fitting culmination for
the Second Annual Morrow County

the people to make the Third fair bet

will have in bringing the advantages,
