Every Country.

"HEAR FROM FOREIGN FIELDS

Reports and Brief History of Local

Societies—Returned Missionaries

Give Interesting Talks.

The jubilee missionary luncheon, held at the Bradley M. E. church Wednesday afternoon in celebration •of the fiftieth anniversary of the organization of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, was a great and pleasing success in every way. Places were laid for 160 ladies and a delicious five-course luncheon was served by the Cosmos Society,, of the Bradley Methodist Episcopal church.

The ladies marched to the dining room and the meeting was opened by singing a jubilee song, "Blest Be the Tie That Binds." The invocation was given by Rev. Mrs. Mary Myers Harrold, of the Friends' church.

After the luncheon a jubilee hymn -composed by Margaret Sangster, a missionary, was sung. The district president, Mrs. John H. Binford, presided and read several letters from ladies who were unable co be present. Among these letters was one from Miss Peabody, a noted missionary worker and one of the organizers of the Missionary Society.

A letter from Miss Grace Dodge, of New York, was also read. Miss Dodge, who is a noted worker, congratulated the local ladies on their work and its results.

After the letters were read the roll call of societies was made by the secretary, Mrs. W. A. Hughes.

The responses were given from the •different churches with a short history of the society and its accomplishments.

Mrs. O. E. Oxer responded from the Christian church. The society of that church was organized in 1888 with eleven members. Mrs. Malissa Cooper was one of the Charter members.

Mrs. Hiram Gough responded for the Friends church. Their society was organized in 1899 with nine members.

Mrs. John H. Binford responded for the Methodist society, which was first organized in 1880 with 23 members and was reorganized in 1889. It now has 100 members. Mrs. Binford has been president of the society for many years.

Mrs. George Souders responded for the Presbyterian society, which was organized in 1895 with sixteen members and Mrs. William Mitchell, pres ident.

Miss Graydiel of Indianapolis, was the first speaker on the program. She was the first missionary sent out by the Christian church to India. She told of the earnestness and thankfulness of the converted heathen of that country. During the famine Miss Graydiel housed and cared for 800 children. Her story of the work there was very interesting and gave the ladies a much broader vision of what has been accomplished and what remains to be done in that great ripe field.

Miss Kemper of Franklin, who was sent as a missionary to the India field by the Methodist Episcopal denomination told of how she reached her subjects, through ministering to the sick and working among the little girls and saw them grow up into useful and influential christian women. She also told of some of the superstitions of the India people and described some of the natural scenery. Her talk was not only interesting, but inspiring as well. I Miss Mayo of Indianapolis, who was sent to Japan as a missionary by the Presbyterian society, spent five years in that field and was forced to return because of poor health. She is of a family of missionaries, as two of her sisters are missionaries to Chi na and Japan. Her work wag chiefly among the young girls. J\liss Majo also told of the superstition of the

Japanese and the happy unfolding of their lives, especially among the young as they accepted the Christian religion and were raised from the dis spair of the past to the hope of the future in the teachings of the religion taken to them by the missionaries.

At the close of the program, the la dies sang the last verse of the jubilee song before being dismissed. The la dies all speak of the occasion aa hav ing been an inspiration to them individually and as societies and they are planning greater work on a broader HC&le for the future.

GUIM WILL WAS

PLEASING SUCCESS SECURED BY FRAUD

Suit to Contest Will Filed in Circuit

Court Venued From Marion

County.

A suit was filed Friday on a change of venue from Marion county in which Jennie, Robert and Ralph Tomlinson are the plaintiffs and Samuel McGaughey is the defendent and in which the plaintiffs are contesting the will of their deceased mother.

The complaint sets out that these plaintiffs and defendant are the only heirs at law of their deceased mother and that what purported to be the last will and testament of their mother left al) her property, valued at $8000 to the defendant Samuel McGaughey, a son, leaving these plaintiffs without any part in the will. They allege that the deceased was of unsound mind at the time the will was executed. That it was unduly executed, made under duress and secured by fraud and ask that it be set aside and held null and void.

Another new case is Fred Bennett vs The Marietta Glass Company for $10,000 damages for personal injuries.

MUST PAY TEACHER ALL LAW DIRECTS

School Board or Trustees Cannot Make Contract for Less Than Minimum Wage—High Court

Rules.

The appellate court held yesterday that a public school teacher may recover the full amount of the minimum wages provided by law, although she has signed a contract to teach for a smaller sum. The ruling was made in affirming the case of the city school corporation of Evansville vs. Sadie Hickman.

She held a license of a general average of 91 per cent as public school teacher, and contracted with the Evansville school authorities to begin a school year, opening Sept. 1st, 1905, to continue for ten months. Her pay was to be $35 a month.

She taught the term of school and the school authorities paid her $350, but she presented her claim for an additional $105, and after it was refused, sued for that amount, which the lower court gave her as the balance which was due her at her minimum legal wages—ninety-one times 2% cents. The statute further pro vides that the school officer shall be liable to a fine for making a contract for less than that sum.

It was contended that the contract was void because it was in violation of the law. The court holds that the law was made for the protection of the teacher and that it would be in plain violation of the intent of the legislature to allow a school offcer to do an illegal act and then hide behind it to the detriment of the innocent party.

Something in a Name.

If names count, a baby boy born at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Bronnenberg, north of the city, should be, in some future day, a great man. Mr. and Mrs. Bronnenberg have chosen as a name for their newly born son, Joyful Isiah Isaac Bronnenberg, and the infant is still well and hearty.—Anderson Bulletin.

Mrs. Jane Melton went to New Castle Friday to* visit friends for a few days.

WOMEN'S BEAUTY

Imperfect Digestion Causes Bad Com plezion and Dull Eyes.

The color in your cheeks won't fade, the brightness in your eye won't vanish, if you keep your stomach in good condition.

Belching of gas heaviness, sour taste in mouth, dizziness, biliousness and nausea occur simply because the stomach is not properly digesting the food.

The blood needs nourishment to carry vigor, vim and vitality to every part of the body and when food ferments in the stomach enough nourishment is not supplied.

MI-O-NA stomach tablets give instant relief to upset stomachs, but they do more they put strength into the stomach and build it up so that it can easily digest a hearty meal without giving its owner hours of misery. "I had stomach trouble for six years—for days at a time could eat nothing at all. After taking MI-O-NA treatment I am in perfect health and can eat anything."—E. M. Campbell, 1200 S. Prospect St., Sedalia, Mo.

MI-O-NA is sold by druggists everywhere and by V. L. Early at 50 cents a large box. It is guaranteed to cure indigestion or any stomach distress, or money back.

Held Baptising Suhday at Brandywine

Creek—Three Immersed.

The series of special meetings that were held at the Baptist church closed with the Sunday evening preaching service. Elder J. Harvey Dailey, of Indianapolis, conducted the meetings, preaching at each service since Friday. There were several people in attendance from a distance Sunday, and in the afternoon three candidates for baptism were immersed in Brandywine creek at the Kirkpatrick ford, by Elder Dailey. A large number of people attended the baptising.

Men well up on fruit growing say the prospects for a bumper fruit yield this year have not been damaged by the recent heavy frosts and cool nights.

Some have been under the impression that the fruit was damaged, some of the trees being in full bloom. A careful examination by experts have shown the contrary to be the case, however.

They say that the fruit has been held back in its developments more than usual by the cool weather and that it is not so far advanced as usual at this season of the year. Ice froze oil the young and tender buds on the three nights that frost fell, but a careful examination has not proved the belief that any damage was done. It is believed that the yield will be exceptionally good this year.

One Mother Fly Means Many Child

ren—Cleaning Up Day Should

Include Destruction of Nest

ing Places.

With the coming of spring many pleasant things appear, and some also which are unpleasant. Among the latter there is none more unpleasant than the common house fly. which, according to physicians, ought to be called the typhoid fly. The pest was regarded as a mere matter of course until lately, and is still so regarded to an extent, but the attitude is believed to be changing and changing rapidly.

Especial attention should be given to the destruction and removal of breeding and nesting places for flies in the clean-up day arrangements for Greenfield. All places of this kind should be removed before the flies make their appearance and thus a generation or two of the flies will be gotten rid of forever by the preventative method, which has long since been acknowledged of more value than the cure method.

Flies are coming more and more to be recognized as disease germ distributors and many diseases, it is said, originate with the filthy fly. For years a fight has been waged against the pest by the health boards and the people should all second their efforts by destroying the flies and their nesting places.

Obituary.

Ralph Ernest, little son of Rankin E. and Nanna Martin, was born Sept. 22nd, 1910, departed this life April 12, 1911, aged 6 months and 21 days.

Baby Ralph, as he was lovingly called, was of a loving disposition, always had a smile for everyone. While his little life with us was short, it was full of sunshine and beauty.

All that loving hands could do to keep him was done, but God needed one more little angel and called for Baby Ralph. He leaves a father, mother, brother, one sister and a host of other relatives to mourn their loss. While the trial of giving him up is so great to his parents, they have the assurance that he is housed above the bright blue. They can humbly say, "The Lord's will, not mine, be done." Little empty cradle we will treasure now with care, O'er the silvery waters he has flown, Gone to join the angles peaceful evermore, Empty is the cradle. Baby's gone.

Casd of Thanks.

We wish to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to relatives and neighbors who were so kind during the sickness and death of our darling baby, Ralph.
