President Taft is having more trouble in getting through his program since he took his stand with the standpatters and reactionaries than he did while he was still hiding behind the bushes with the public uncertain where he stood. He is reported to have received assurance from Speaker Cannon and Senator Aldrich that they would pass the statehood bill, the rail bill, the postal bank bill and the ship subsidy bill, but thus far they have made very little progress. Indications are that the president >s being fooled by those into whose hands he has delivered the affairs of his administration. The progressives and insurgents fought for Taft's view on the tariff and lost because of the standpatters. In return the president allies himself with the fellows that appear the strongest and takes a stand against the men who are really fighting for the platform pledges of the party. For that reason he finds trouble In getting assistance. The men who drg powerful are playing

We’ve put a fine addition on the good old church at home. It's just the latest kilter, with a gallery and dome.

(To be continued.) CLUB CALENDAR FOR WEEK. Friday. Christian Aid—Mrs. G. C. Steele. Queen Esthers —Bessie Jeffries. One of the very jolliest little birthday parties was that given by Jim Ellis Thursday afternoon from 3 to 5 to eleven of his little friends coming

to make merry on his eleventh birthday anniversary. A progressive historical events game was interesting, the contest lying in securing three cards of events occurring on the same date. First prize in this was won by Joe Burdg and the booby by Melvin Everhart. In the contest of pinning the tail on the donkey, Gertrude Keller bore off first honors, while Lawrence Murray contented himself with the booby. Crokinole and other games also contributed to the amusement, after which the tables were cleared and ice cream, cake and candies were served. Those present were Robert Colter, Carl Flanders, Lawrence Murray, Melvin Everhart, Joe Burdg. Forest Murray, Rolla Sipe. Joe Keller, Gertrude Keller. Eleanor Ellis, Homer Sipe, Robert Quinn. The Presbyterian Ladies'. Aid was largely represented Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Dr. Coverdale in spite of the rain that came down in a steady drizzle the entire day. The ladies brought needles and thimbles with them and a busy time was spent with needlew’ork. Quite at, interesting contest has been inaugurated. The society has been divided into sections, to each of which the president has given a box. The sections are to vie with each other in filling the boxes with garments and articles made by them for a fair or bazaar to be held in the fall. At that time the boxes will be unpacked and the contents sold, and the section whose box brings the greatest amount of money, will be entertained by the society. While the rain yesterday afternoon prevented many from attending the meeting of the Helping Hand society at the home of Mrs. L. C. Hessert, there was a goodly number present to busy themselves with the making of sunbonnets for sale when the sun does get into the notion of shining, and at the close of the sewing period a sale of bread, pies, cakes, etc., was held. The collection amounted to $3. Mrs. George Henneford will be hostess in two weeks. Mr. and Mrs. N. C. Anderson and children. Marjory and Kenneth, went out on the 4 o’clock car last evening to the W.

They invited Miss Rose and her gentleman friend over to spend the evening and managed to entertain them in the dining room till the company of surprises had time to gather in the front parlors. The surprise was complete in all ways.. Music and dancing contributed to the good time and at 10 o’clock an appetizing lunch, consisting of sandwiches, pickles, fresh fruit ,cake and coffee, was served. Miss Rose was the recipient of a shower of good wishes for many returns of the day.
