WILL DISCUSS CHURCH SCHOOL j Rev. W. A. Squires to Explain “Week I>ay Church School’’ Here Tonigt For n number of years the fact has been recognized that the moral training of the youth of our country has been inadequately cared for. The curricula of our grade and high schools are already filled to overflowing with subjects calculated to develope the physical and mental sides of the individual. There is no room for the addition of any subjects to develops character. The church cannot provide for this idueution in the short time granted it for this purpose. Tlie home is not figuring very largely in the present day due to the fact : that the family is scarcely ever nll[ together. Thus a real need has been' created which must be satisfied by| some remedy. In many of our cities and towns an I organization tailed "The Week Day Church School" is fulfilling this need. Once a week a vacant period, when a class is not reciting is used by a teacher representing the Church for instruction in tlie Bible and Christian Ethics. This teaching is usually given in some nearby church. In this' way in the course of a week all the classes of school may receive this in-' Struct ion. This program is usually; put on by the unified efforts of all, the churches in the town. Van W« rt, Ohio, has sucessfully operated this system for a number of years. Tonight at the Presbyterian church at 7:30. Rev. AV. A. Squires, of Philadelphia. Pa., who is an authority on this subject and who has written a [ book. "Tlii' Week Day Church School."! which is a classic in its line, will address those interested in this subject.: Parents, members of the school board.; teachers and officers of all churches j are < specially invited to attend. MELAHD SEEKS ANEW TRIAL Claims to Have Found New Evidence Which Will Discredit Testimony — Fort Wayne, May 14 —Claiming that he has discovered new evidence which will disprove the story told by tie prosecuting witness, Mrs. Josephim Knapp, during his trial for obtaining a signature under false pretense, At- ) tornev Hans Meland Saturday filed, motion for a new trial. Attorne? Frank A. Emrick filed the motion. | Meland was tried before Judge John Moran and was found guilty Tim court found that Meland should ( serve six months in jail and be fined . SSO, but died without passing sent ence. He was holding up the judgment until he had time to file a motion for a new trial. Judge Wood announced that he would nominate five attorneys from whom a special judge can be select- ■ od to take up the trial of the case! where Judge Moran left off. The) first thing which the new judge will I do Is to hear a motion for a new trial ' If he refuses the re-trial. Meland will have to serve the sentence which Judge Moran wrote into the record, it is said. . Meland, in his motion for a new trial, says he has found canceled checks which will disprove the testimony of Mrs. Knapp that Meland failed to account to her for money which he collected from an insurance company. He also claims that he has located Fordice Noonan, former husband of Mrs. Knapp, who will offer valuable testimony in behalf of Meland. Mrs. Knapp charged tliat Meland appropriated to his own use S3OO by getting her to sign a note saying ili.ii he intended to use the money to perfect an appeal in her suit for a divorce from Noonan. Meland claimed that the S3OO was paid him by Mrs. Noonan as attorney fees. o NOTICE OF Fl XV I. SETT I.EVI EXT O1 ’ ESI' ITE Notice Is hereby given to the creditors. heirs and legatees of Joseph AV.

MONROE NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Emnnuol Lehman • | drove to Bluffton, Ohio. Inst Sunday to visit their non, Edward who is a student at Bluffton college. ■ Many of the farmers in this community, who were in town during the past few days, say that the blizzard and snow storm did not injiin* the i .prospect of a fruit crop, but was • benefictlal to pastures and grain i crop. (Tarenco Linker, formerly of this locality but now of Yoder, Ind., visited several days this week witli Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Woods, of West Walnut street. Town marshal "Bob” Andrews was a busy man this week executing sev oral stray dogs, that had been dumped I here from the country by owners to 'avoid paying taxes, via the shotgun I route. Two of them wen* located in tlie west part of town, and soon were [sent to eternity. The obsequies tool: place immediately after. the dog I crematory. “Bob" says there will* be I more to follow, as the crematory furI mice door stands wide open and is yawning for tlie remainder of the stray canines now running at large. Jeff Liechty and B. M. Smith, representatives for the A. J. Moser Ford garage at Berne, were here Thursday on business. Tlie Senior and Junior memlwrs of 'the Epworth L**ngue, of the M. E. chur .*, are preparing an excellent 'prog* am which they will render at ihe Bobo M. E. church on Sunday. May 20. when a large number of our ! people will go to that place to give a demonstration of the leagues work, land also to organize a junior league. The Junior branch of the Epworth league has been quite a factor at this place, under tlie director of Mrs. S. I.

Mrs. Hobert ; Andrews, who was again operated ■ upon for the removal of gall ston**s 'and other complications. I Thomas Niblick, formerly of this 'place, now of Celina, Ohio, was here j Thursday visiting his many old , friends. Many remarks are being made as to 'the condition of the cellar of the new incompleted building, begun by the Home Store Co. and which was recently sold at receivers’ sale. There is a vast amount of water in the cellar which is a menace and is danjjc rous to children. This should b* 'pumped out before warm weather sets in. as it may become the means of causing much typhoid fever to exist. Tile building, as it now is, is a dangerous place and should be entirely enclosed to prevent children and others from harm. c Washington. D. C. May 14.—That the sal*' of Treasury Savings Certificates has become a permanent part [of the financing program of the United States Government was divulg•ed at a meeting just held in WashI ington. which was attended by tlie [Savings Directors from the twelve i Federal Reserve Districts of the United States. The Seventh Federal District, comprising Ijowa, northern Illinois ami Indiana, and southern Michigan and Wisconsin, was represented by Wm. B. Bosworth of Chicago. Mr. Bosworth showed Treasury Departments officials that the people of the Seventh District bought more Treasury Savings Certificates in 1922 than any other district in the country and attributed the "championship" of this district to the active co-operation of local postmasters. A billion dollars of the public debt will be carried in the form of Treasury Certificates which will be sold to the public during the next foul years. Half of the 1923 quota of $250,000,000 has already been soln Treasury Savings Certificates a>T' issued in denominations of $25. SIOO and SI,OOO. They mature in five years but the U. S.
