Evangelistic Meetings. Great interest is being manifested in the meetings now in progress at the Christian Church. Tho crowds are steadily crowing and the interest deepening. Thus far 17 have respond ed to the invitation. The boys are a sutprise to every one who hears them. The "Boy Evangelist" is preaching a series of sermons that have never been sur passed, at least in recent years, in our town. They are full of instruc tion, enthusiasm scripture and earnest ness. No matter how long he preaches one never grows weary of listening to him. James McCallnm, the singer is certainly making good. He is accomplishing almost the impossible in getting together and maintaining a large chorus, on one end of the plat form he has a children's chorus and on the other an adult chorus, about 40 altogether. His solos each even ing are very fine. . The evangelist has announced the following subjects and yon will be the looser if you fail to hear him. "Hydrosoteiism." "A Modil Case of Conversion." "What la it to Believe in Christ." "The Change of Heart." "The Great Restoration." "Hell." "Constanoy In Well Doing." Manual Training In Our Schools. Some time ago I wrote In favor of placing manual trhining and domestic science in the high school curriculum of Morrow county. I mentioned that this could be aooomplished at very small cost tf the schools of Heppner, lone and Lexington would combine on the subjects and divide tha time of an instructor between the three schools. These aie sabjects which are fast gaining in our schools, not through the push of anv book company, but because fathers and mothers are ask ing that their children have this train ing wlcb holda such an important place in life's work. The training which these subjects give most come from something, otherwise the child goes through life as a cripple. Should you visit all the homes of Morrow county, I dare say vou would find the proofs of many crippled children homes only such in name and barren of all attractions, because the wife. as a child, had no one to bring oat her talent, and tarm machinery on the waste pile because the owner could not "nail two boards together." At a rule these disabilities must be banded down to the next generation unless the community, through the eohool gives the instruction. Just as agriculture has crowded into the course of study, so will manual training and domestic science in a very short time. Why should we wait until we are forced to receive them? The Bcbool that counts is the school that pulls instead of being pushed. Some Oil Reductions.

By the use of steel in place of wood for mine timbering, waste due to decay, framing and Otting, fire and insects is entirely overcome, 6ays Coal Age. Steel mine timbers also call for less excavation, cost less to erect, have a greater endur ance and tend toward better venti lation.
