home-coming at the church, one mile

west of Hagerstown. The present membership of the Nettle Creek congregation is about 320, and ia one of the largest Protestant rural church congregations in this part of the country. Most of the members live on farms. The Nettle Creek congregation was organized in 1820, with David Miller as Its first elder. Lewis W. Teeter, the present elder, has been in charge of the church since October 15, 1885. When Elder Miller took charge of the congregation, no church house had been built, and meetings were held in homes, barns and in groves. Dinner was served to all who attended and feed was provided for the horses. Pioneers Attend Communion

Communion meetings w,ere held in the warmer seasons on the thrashing floors in barns. When the roads became impassable for teams the church members would go on horseback or walk from eight to 10 miles over blazed paths through forests. Public services were held up and down Nettle creek and West river valleys, from a point a few miles north of Cambridge City to about five miles porth of Hagerstown, and extending a few miles into Henry county. In 1844 and 1845 a brick church structure 50x90 feet was built about 350 yards south of the present building. About 1859 it was thought expedient to build chapels about equally distant from the large center house. The chapels were built, one three miles Bouthwest and the other four and one-half miles northwest. A permanent arrangement was made for services at both chapels on the first and

third Sundays of each month, while services were held at the center house on the second and fourth Sundays of each month. New Church Erected The center house was torn down In 1874, and a new brick house was built the same year. This building still stands and is in good condition. In 1894 another house, known as Olive Branch, four miles northeast of the center house, was bought and dedicated as a chapel, where services are held the first and third Sundays of each month. Communion meetings are held twice each year at the center house, one in the spring and one in the fall. Harvest thanksgiving meetings are held the last Sunday of August. At this meeting a collection is taken for some charitable cause.

Pole Reinforcements Are Repulsed, Say Bolshevik (By Associated Press) LONDON, May 31. The Poles have thrown fresh troops into the fighting in tV.r Taraschtcha region, 60 miles rout of Kiev, but their heavy attacks on the Bolshevik linos have boon repulsed, says Sunday's official statement from Moscow, received by wireless today. Th" communique reads. "In the Tarashtcha region our troops after their success, occupied a number of hamlets 27 miles from Tarashtcha. Northwest of Tarashtcha, we are suecestully repulsing furious enemy attacks, the latter having flung in new reinforcements in their region. The fishting is still proceeding."

The Presbyterian assembly, which met at Philadelphia, did not sever its connection with the interchurch world movement, but instead indorsed the reorganization plan of the general committee of the movement, according to Dr. Robert L. Kelly, of New York, executive secretary of the Association of American Colleges, and of the council of the church boards of education, who was in Indianapolis Sunday in connection with inter-church reorganization plans in Indiana. Dr. Kelly is director of the American education survey department of the Interchurch movement. He formerly was president of Earlham College, Richmond. ' "In the first place." said Dr. Kelly, "let it be said that the Presbyterian general assembly did not sever connection with the interchurch world movement as has been reported in some of the newspapers. "The Presbyterians would be the

last people on the planet to strike a body blow at any promising phase of church unity. At their cession this year they unanimously approved a great merger between tho Presbyterians of the north and south and invited many other denominations to join with them in this merger. "What the Presbyterian assembly did was to approve the program of the general committee of tho interchurch world movement, which had already been adopted at New York, and which calls for a reorganization and the limiting of the scope of the movement. "To this policy the Presbyterians appropriated outright $100,000, and in view of the fa.ct that there are now 30 denominations in the movement, and others are coming in, that would seem about their proper share. "Both the M. E. general conference and the Reformed church in the United States unnanimously approved the movement in their sessions this week.

During the week also the southern Presbyterians and the Methodist Protestants have voted their approval and full co-operation. On the whole, this week has been about the best week in the interchurch movement's history. "As to the progress of the financial campaign, it may be stated that already there has been rais-'d $178,000,000, which is the largest sum ever contributed at one time for religious purposes. Furthermore, these campaigns are going right on."

WASHINGTON, May 31. Despite reductions in prices, little relief from the general reign of high prices is seen by the Federal Reserve Board in its analysis of May business conditions, made public tonight. The board expressed the view that there has been no change in the underlying conditions responsible for the high cost of living. Asserting that "while "store sales" and a tendency to lower prices bears witness to the presence of "disturbing factors," which suggest the advent of

wide alteration in price levels, the board declares it cannot accept the situation as a whole for its face value.

The explanation is added that there has been only a slight increase in production and there is no greater disposition on the part of the general pub

lic to economize and invest than had ruled heretofore. Basis for Changes Seen.

"The changes that have taken place,

therefore," the board's analysis Bays, "cannot be looked upon as indicating

a modification of underlying condi

tions. They may, however, afford a

basis for change in business relation

ships that may broaden into a more

far-reaching alteration of the essential

price structure."

Business in every section of the country has suffered considerably

from the freight jam, which has prevented normal movements of produT to markets. Effects of the tie-up are

noticed in the agricultural districts as much as in the industrial areas, and that farmers are not the smallest class which has sought more bank help in the way of credit as a result. Results of the board's action in the direction of restricted loans already has begun to be evident, according to reports of the various Reserve Banks. In addition to a general reduction in the value as well as volume of securities traded in the financial centers, there has been a general revision of interest rates affecting both commercial paper and call money, it is stated. Labor Situation Troublesome. The labor situation during the month

has been one of the outstanding elements of "doubt and difficulty," and is one of the largest problems with which the country is expected to have

to deal with the rest of the summer. In addition to intense shortage of labor on farms and at other points of primary production, sopradic strikes have occurred in many lines of manufacturing, notably the textile industry, indicating in the board's view, continued unrest. "Wages apparently have fallen behind the advance in prices and the cost of living," the statement continues. "The movement of labor from farm to city is continuing. Various demands for higher wages have been taken under advisement for the purpose of bringing about compromise adjustments. General complaint of low efficiency, of small output per unit of labor is prevalent and the difficulty of getting skilled labor in some of the more highly developed lines of manufacture is now very considerable."

Richmond f Navy's Last Word Frigate, Is Mass of Metal on the Northern Maine Beach

(By Associated Press) EASTPORT, Me., May 31. A mass

of twisted metals and charred timbers

lying on Coney Beach here is all that remains of the frigate Richmond, once the pride of the United States navy. The famous wooden warship, built in 1858, was used during three wars in capacities varying from admiral's flagship to receiving ship and finally was burned for the copper in her hull. The Richmond was Admiral Farragut's flagship during the Civil War and was in several famous engagements in Southern waters and along the Mississippi River. It is Baid that the Richmond was one of the first American ships to be camouflaged.

During the bombardment of New Or

leans, Farragut ordered the man-o'-war camouflaged and not having the necessary paint, the frigate was

smeared with mud, partly obscuring

her from the enemy's view.

Used as Receiving Ship. A few years later the Richmond was retired but was put in commission again in 1898 for the Spanish-American War, when she was used as a receiving ship at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. Then for almost 20 years she was held idle at the Norfolk Navy Yard, but was put into use again in the World War as a receiving and training ship.

FROHIE?ITION IS UNKNOWN WORD IN ANTWERP CAFES ANTWERP, May 31. The cafes of Antwerp, where American "Jazz" music resounds nightly until the early morning hours and champagne corks pop continuously at 50 to 100 francs a pop, are so crowded even now with tourists, sailors in for a shore celebra

tion, and local spendthrifts that their

proprietors wonder what more can happen when Antwerp is crowded with visitors to the Olympic games.

There are no spirits sold except surreptitiously but wine- flows so con

tinuously in the glided cabarets, and the beer so continuously in the sailors "estaminets" down near the docks,

that the noise and dancing know no

bounds.

CHICAGO COLISEUM IS MADE READY FOR REPUBLICAN MEETING

(By Associated Press) CHICAGO. May 31. The Chicago coliseum, where the Republican national convention of 1920 will be held, beginning June 8, has a history rich in political interest. Five national political conventions have been held within its walls, a record unsurpassed by any building in the United States. Ever four years since 1904 the Republican part has met in the coliseum

to nominate its candidate for president and vice-president, and in 1912 the Progressive party also met there to nominate Colonel Theodore Roosevelt for president. The coliseum was completed in 1900.

It was designed as a model convention ball and erected on the site of old Libby war prison museum, at Wabash avenue and Fifteenth street, less than a mile from the hotel and retail shopping district. Tho castellated walls of the old war prison were used for the Wabash avenue side of the structure. It was built of stone, brick, steel and glass, and is 403 feet long, 170 feet wide. It cost nearly $1,000,000. It has a wide balcony extending around three of the walls, and this has been amplified for this ear's convention by the addition of a second balcony on the north side. Capacity Over 13,000. As a result the seating capacity, 13,187, is the greatest in the building's history. Only 12,400 were seated at the 1916 convention. The main floor of the coliseum will

seat 9,400 delegates, alternates, press representatives and spectators. There

will be 100 door keepers, 200 ushers

and 2,000 sergeants-at-arms. All the

ushers and doorkeepers will be over seas soldiers, sailors and marines

The speakers' platform at the south end of the building will provide scats for the officers of the convention and members of the Republican national committee. Behind this is a raised platform with 2,000 seats for the use of presidential candidates and other distinguished guests. On either side of tho speakers' platform, extending across the building, is a press section containing 575 seats for working newspaper men. Facing the speaker are the seats for the 9S4 delegates and an equal number of alternates. This section is

enclosed by a heavy rail to hold back

the crowds of frenzied spectators who frequently, during moments of intense

enthusiasm, attempt to storm the speaker's stand. The rest of the main

floor and all the balconies will be

given over to visitors. Tickets for spectators have been divided among the national committeemen from each state, in proportion to the state representation in tho convention, with the exception of a block of of about 2,500 seats, which go to the Chicago Convention committee, which financed the convention arrangements. With less than 10,000 visitors' seats to be distributed, the committeemen had received more than 75,000 requests for tickets weeks in advance of the convention.

utterly routed and destroyed ana, henceforth, must seek other fields. Secretary Meredith, of the department of agriculture, in making public the result of a thorough investigation by government chemists of cases of poisoning due to the eating of ripe olives, said the trouble was not due to the containers in which they were packed, bui to isolated case3 of inadequate sterilization. The chemists found, he said, that it was possible to eterilize completely both glass jars and tin cans. To eliminate all possible future trouble, he said, the packers Lave adopted the department's recommendation that the olives be subjected to not less than 240 degrees of heat to prevent the possibility of danger to the consumer. This increased ster

ilization, it is said, in no way effects the flavor or edibility of the relish. Owing to prejudice, due to the publicity given cases of poisoning from eating ripe olives, according to packers, the ripe olive Industry has been practically destroyed, the demand having fallen off 95 per cent. So widespread was this prejudice that the consumption of green olives was similarly reduced, although no fatalities were traced to the use of them.

RIPE OLIVES AGAIN ARE SAFE TO EAT

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. May 31. Ripe olives have been restored to favor. It is again safe to eat them, accocding to government experts.

No Servant Girls in New Flood of Immigration NEW YORK, May 31. Though the tide of immigration has begun to flow again Into tho United States from Europe so that incoming ships have their lower decks crowded with homeseekers from other lands, there is

little prospect that relief is in sieht for tho American housewife who has been promising herself a cook or maid-of-all-service to be recruited from the newcomers. At least that is the opinion of Superintendent P. A. Baker, of the United States Immigration Staton on Ellis Island. "Immigration has been increasing by leaps and bounds," Mr. Baker said "and it is a hopeful sign that the aliens arriving in this port during the last few weeks have exceeded the number going back to their native lands by many thousands. Last wreek six times as many came in as qualified to leave the country. "People who think tho servant girl problem is going to bo solved soon will be disappointed if they are depending on the women immigrants from Ireland and the Scandinavian countries. Plenty of these are arriving on every boat, but they turn up their noses at the thought of menial labor. They have their minds set on getting work in the better factories, principally those manufacturing luxuries, such as candy and women's finery.
