PRESBYTERIANS WITHDRAW FROM INTERCHURCH MOVE

Philadelphia, May 28.—Support of the Presbyterian church in the U. S. A. was withdrawn from the interchurch world movement, but it was decided to continue the new era movement and cut the annual budget from $900,000 to $400,000 at today’s' session of the general assembly. In its action on the interchurch world movement the general assembly adopted the new plan of the executive commission providing for contribution of SIOO,OOO for the ensuing year to the movement “when properly reorganized” to be used for payment of its current operating expenses as a going concern for that period and for no other purpose. The general assembly, next year will convene at Winona Lake, Indiana, it was deCcided today after the contest for the next meeting place had narrowed down to Winona Lake and Atlantic/City, N. J. Committee of five members will attend the republican and democratic national conventions with authority to confer with the resolutions committee against ‘*wet’ Slanks. The committees, which will e appointed from prominent Presbyterians living in or near the convention cities, also will throw their influence against thp election of “wet” congressmen.

OLD AND NEW GRADS MINGLED

AT THE BANQUET TABLE AS CURTAIN DROPPED ON THE SCHOOL CAREERS OF 44 'With delightful music lending inspiration to the affair, with _ a delicious banquet raising conviviality to the supreme degree, with a toast program unexcelled and with pretty decorations drooping in abundance over the banqueters, Friday nights annual banquet of the alumni of Rensselaer high school to the new graduates was one which will be a memory everlasting and a scene not soon forgotten by the graduates who drift silently from the institution which they hold so dear into the great space of practical experience, touching elbows as they went with those who had passed from the portals of the many years jefore them. It was* an occasion that the forty-four young men and women will forever cherish as the most pleasant event of their lives. . Year after year the alumni banquet has held its place as an event unsurpassed on the annual social calendar, and the achievement of the alumni this year eclipsed all previous banquets. Many of the alumni of the school were lured back from distant fields to again dwell in the school atmosphere and acquaintances with their former classmates, and to meet the new members of their association.

Perhaps never in the history of the city was such an interesting toast program offered as the one of last night. The speakers of the evening had worked faithfully to make their part of the program maintain the standard of enjoyment supplied by the other events of the evening’s entertainment, and how well they did their part is voiced by those who were in attendance. With all due respect to those who occupied the other places on the toast program, it must be said that the toast given by Miss Helen Lamson on the subject, “How You Going To Keep ’Em Down On the Farm?” was wone never equalled since the inaguration of alumni banquets. Miss Lamson handled her subject in such a pleasing and humorous manner that she was interrupted time and again by the applause of her auditors. We are privileged to publish Miss Lamson’s toast, which reads as follows: “M’mselle Toastmistress, Glass of 1920, Fellow Alumni, Friends—-yes, and Enemies! ! for I am sadly aware that I have enemies present. I had already classified the members of the program committee as such, and now I find that I must add to their number the toastmistress of the evening—Miss Harriett Shedd —my would-be friend and supporter.

A few days ago when two member of the program committee came sneaking up to ring my door bell with the purpose of their coming projecting itself conspicuously before them, I did not greet them cordially,— —Oh! No! I said most emphatically, ‘ln the first place I won’t do it; in the second place I can’t do it and in the third place, why should I?’ To my first statement they calmly said, ‘You will’; to my second, ‘you can’; to my third, •why should you, why, because that .subject about the farm we have selected is so especially .suited to you.* ‘You see,’, went on Mr. Meyers, ‘although you have lived inside of the corporation of the thriving little city of Rensselaer for almost four years, you have not yet succeeded in shaking the hayseed all out of your hair.’ ‘Yes,’ chimed in Mr. Hanley, ‘anyone would know a block away that you are a clodhopper.’ Up until six o’clock this evening I stall said, ‘I won’t’ Now I am still saying, ‘I can’t’ and soon you will be thinking,#‘Why! Oh why should she.’ Yes, I was born, on a farm. I have lived a fraction of a century upon a farm and if the right farmer should happen along at the right time and make the right sort of proposition, I assure you that I would not turn down a chance to die on a farm.!. The time will come when clodhopping’ will be a favorite dance, as popular no doubt, as pleasing at least, as the present day ‘shimmy.’ I think this graduating class will

live to see Farmer Corntassel in the President’s' chair. He’ll not} drive out to the golf links to take his exercise, he’ll hoe the beans. His wife will not be running over to Paris for diversion, she’ll be of Maude Muller stock, she’ll help make the hay. She’ll not receiye orchids every *m<ning, she’ll be happy with a corsage of marigold and hollyhocks. She . can step out and select the breakfast from the White House pig pen; sugar from their own private sorghum patA; cold slaw from the garden, or, in the winter time tap a barrel of : saner -kraut in the White House cellar. . j The question reads: I ‘How you going to keep em down on the farm?’ - Away back in the years preceding 1905, when I wa sin Rensselaer high school, I learned that the best way to avoid answering a hard question was to ask another one ,and I have • a «a ' .

FITTING TRIBUTE TO BE PAID

THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR ALL IN UNITED STATES’ CONFLICTS MEMORIAL DAY. Memorial day, the most sacred of all national holidays, will be observed in this city and county Sunday, when reverence will be paid to those who gave their all Jn the defense of their country. From present indications the largest crowd that ever assembled here on Memorial day will be present at the services which will no doubt be the most impressive services of their kind ever held in Jasper county. The dwindling ranks of the Civil war veterans be strengthened by the presence of scores of youth who saw service in the late world war. It is a certainty that all of the old soldiers will be present at the services and the spirit of willingness among the younger men to doh their khaki and blue is present in such a marked degree that the success of the day’s program is assured. It is understood that many of the soldier boys from Remington will be present to aid in the burial services of Dewey Biggs, the first Jasper county boy to die overseas, which will help to swell the ranks of the soldiers. \ At one-thirty o’clock the burial services for Dewey Biggs will be leld in the court house yard and will be in charge of the local chap;er of the American Legion. Folowing these services, the line of march to the’ cemetery will form. True D. Woodworth will act as officer of the day, and announces that the various Organizations will line up as follows:

1. Sunday Schools. 2. Fraternal Organizations. 3. Band. 4. Escort. 5. Clergy. 6. Coffin and pallbearers. 7. Family 8. World War Veterans. 9. Civil War Veterans. 10 Civilians. World War Veterans and S. A. T. C. will meet at the Court House at 1 p. m. for instructions and formation. Services at Court House Steps at 1:80. Line of March will form as above at conclusion of funeral ceremonies. At the conclusion of funeral .exercises at the, grave the Memorial program will proceed from the platform.

75 ATTENDED LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS LUNCHEON

Catt, Mrs. F. H. Howard, of Remington; Mrs. Malcolm Clark, of Wheatfield; and Mrs. I. F. Meader, of Union. Mrs. A. H.

Following the luncheon a meeting was held at the court .house, in which the Franchise League was merged into the League of Women Voters, a non-partisan organization, whose object is to foster the education of all womep in citizenship and to support important legislatloMrs. Ora T.

The program committee had prepared an outline study in citizenship for the month of June an « these were distributed to the township chairmen. Miss Ora T. Ross, Miss Effie Worrell and Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter gave splendid instructive talks on citizenship, how it affects the home and how to obtain legislation of particular interest to women. . The League of Women Voters -already has a large memberaMp and the enthusiasm shown at this meeting would indicate that certain great purposes and ideals of women can be accomplished through this organization which individual women or individual groups cannot bnng about. t
