THE FUMBLE FAMILY Wanted: A Good Smeller By E. Courtney Dunkel Williaton, Feb. 23.—One of the most delightful events in Willifeton for •bme time was the banquet tendered last Friday evening by the boys of the agricultural class of the Williston- Elko high school to their fathers. This father and son barquet is an * annual affair that is looked forward to with much pleasure. An interest ing part of it is that all the. details are by the boys, who take care financial end of the banquet without calling on their parents or taachers. The banquet was held in the dining room of the high school building, which was very tastefully and attrac tively decorated for the occasion. The menu, consisting of barbecued meats, as only Alex Wiiimortz can prepare, and all the necessary dishes and cof fee and cake for dessert, was served by the women teachers of the school. President Alvin Youngblood of the agricultural class made a splendid toastmaster and kept things moving throughout the evening in such a mannr that there wasn't a dull mo ment. The principal address of the evening was to have been made by Henry S. Johnson, of Columbia, scre- tary of the South Carolina Bankers’ asrociation and a former Y. M. C. A. secretary. On account of illness Mr. Johnson was unable to be present. The first speaker was Lewis Kitch- ir.gs, who extended the welcome of the class to the fathers and guests present. The principal address of the evening was made by J. A. Latimer, secretary to Governor Richards. Short talks were made by Prof. C. M. Mooro, superintendent of the school; John A. Walker, principal; Professor McCurry, the Rev. W. R. Davis and the follow ing trustees: Dr. Cone, J. E. Kennedy, H. M. Thompson and others. A quar tet from the class rendtred a snappy song. Prof. John Miley, agricultural teacher of the Willston-Elko high school, brought the evening to a dose with a short but interesting talk. In honor of the 9th birthday of her little daughter, Julia, Mrs. W. R. Ken nedy entertained with a party Mon day afternoon. The guests were nine little girls of Julia’s grade. Games were played, after which Mrs. Ken* nedy served a sweet course. Hart’s Battery chapter, U. D. C„ met at the home of Mrs. A. S. Blanch ard Friday afternoon, February 15th. Consrdermg the inclement weather, the attendaree was very good and a most interesting meeting was enjoy ed. The Valentine idea was carried out in the decorations of the home ard and the favors. After completing the business the following short program was carried out: “Dixie" was played on the Victrola; reading, “Lest We Forget,” Mrs. Q .A. Kennedy, Jr.; reading, “The Confederate Flag,” Wallace Cone. Mrs. Miley, social leader, had arranged a very amusing .contest, the answers of which were the names of Shakespere’s plays. Mrs. A. M. tfiirnedy gave the great est number of correct answers and was awarded the prize. During the social hour the hostess served a very delightful sweet course followed by coffee and mints.

Price, D.D. t . . - - — — : Jesus laid down very few rules. He did announce principles which would determine right action under varying circumstances. No elaborate organization was established to carry forward His program. During the three years and three months of public ministry many called disciples at tended his peripatetic school. From among those learners twelve were inducted into the apostolic office. The Kingdom of God was frequently mentioned and was explained both by direct and parabolic teachings. This Kingdom is where the will of God is done in earth, even as it is in heaven. The Church is a term which grew up in apostolic days and means in particular those who are called out. That word has various meanings today. We are not discuss ing any reference to a mere building, but rather to the comprehensive or ganization that is called by that word. Strictly speaking, the Church is invisible and is composed of all those who arc in the company of believers and obeyers. The common use of the name includes all who are members of the organized, or visible Church. The- various denominations are not under consideration either; there are more than 200 Protestant sects in the United States alone. Read, with close attention, the passages which are indicated for study today. In addition to those named above, we have Matthew 16:30-20; Romans 12:4-8; Kphrsians 1:15-23; 5:22-27; 1 Timothy 3:15. Then turn to the word "Church” in any encyclopaedia for many general statements. You can find books on Church History in any public library. In a recent lesson study wc had Peter’s confession, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God,” which Jesus Himself (leclared to be the foundation on which the spiritual church would be built. Well may the beginning l*c called, in the parable, a grain of mustard seed. The growth^ has been marvellous The World Almanac indicates that 566,201,(XX) are classed as Christians in the world’s population of 1,619,764,000. Thus one- third of the race claims relationship to Jesus Christ, the founder of the Church. The different members have varying ability, said Paul in writing to the Romans, but all are "one tody in Christ.” The trouble is that too many do not live up to their spiritual possibility. It is stated that nine-tenths of the work in the average church is done by one-tenth of its members. Failure cannot be charged against the Church, but that indictment can be charged against the majority of its constituency. The failure is because the members of the body will not coordinate with the Head, as set forth in Ephesians. Christ is called also the "chief corner stone.” All the bodily life, thinking of an individual, and all con struction, having an edifice in mind, must be with reference to Founder and Saviour. Then glorious attainment can be had. for we again behold the goal: “Unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.” Flying Baron Dies Baron von Huenefcld, backer and passenger of the Bremen in its cast- west transatlantic flight, passed away in Berlin.

In a few moments Billie Bunny rushed in with: “Mother, where are my school books?” _ A voice from above shouted down: “Mother, where’s my necktie?” It was Old Man Rabbit Without saying a word, Mrs. Rabbit found that hat, the books and her husband’s neCKtie. Then she kissed the bunnies g6od-bye and waited for the Old Man to come downstairs. Finally he came and she said: "I think we ought to call this the ’Where’s MY? Family.’ I never in my life saw people so careless. The children leave their hats, books, neck- ties—” “Now you are hitting at me ( and my necktie. H6w did I know I left it downstairs^” Old Man Rabbit was a bit peeved, . “I am not talking about that, but . what I want to know is WHY every- body around here thinks I am a walk ing encyclopedia.” “We think you are the sweetest, dearest Mother in this world-l-antf that’s not all. We ask you to dp these things because weylove you that’s all. You know it’s the people you do for in this world that you love, not necessarily the ones who do for you.” "You must love me a lot; but where is my frying pan?” “How do I know? You had it last If I have to hunt for it, that is what you would have to do, so why make two of us work?” “Where’, my pocket book?” askdd Mother Rabbit. "That’s different,” said Brier Rabbit, with a laugh.* "Money is in my line, but not frying pans.” And with that he started to hunt while Mra. Rabbit whispered softly: "It’s those you do for you love, my dear!" “Umj EalpHtB By Cecile VIRGINIA WATSON (featured in the collegiate musical comedy “Hello Yourself”) declares Jhe eve-, ning frock may possess all the ear marks of the latest bouffant models without being pretentious — and proves it. Filmy flounces, the dipping back line, fitted bodice and all arc present —yet here we find none of the grown-upness that characterizes so many late evening gowns. Instead there is youth and a certain sprightly simplicity in every line. Just such a frock we’d like to rec ommend for our own young daugh ter—if we had one. Ivory silk net forms the flounced section; ivory Aar crepe the bodice, while applique mo tifs arc of palest yellow-beige out lined with topaz brilliants. The flow er spray is in harmonizing tones of yellow; hose a deep ivory with satin slippers in a pale topaz shade. Three Rules for Color Effects In planning color combinations, these rules will prove safe guides for three different effects: The farther apart the color values are the greater the vivacity, while if lighter grada tions are used the costume becomes more subtle. A richer effect is se cured by joining two deeper tones. Spring Evening Wraps are Flaring To accommodate the flaring hem line of formal evening gowns the new w T raps are also modeled along these lines. Sometimes they adopt the circular effect; again fullness is achieved through the use of shirring which . permits the bottom of the wrap to fall in a deep, full flounce over the gown. Coiffure an Important Detail ■* Of three new bobbed coiffures you may have your choice for evening— and k»9w you’ve the approval of three famous French couturiers. One wears the hair combed back off the brow with ends curled in small ring lets that lie very flal; the second de crees flat sides with the crown rather long and worn in a high wavy sec tion. The third is a medium bob wavcjd very broad and soft to follow the natural lines of the head.
