were tax

ed to the utmost to suit un the buyers. In all it tan be truthfully said that the lirtt ixdlar day enterprise in Mishawaka succeeded y far, anytnin' of the kind ever attempted in the history of cities of this six. . The merchants, tired out from their day'o efforts, were unanimous in their praise of the appreciation siioaii them by the citizens, and without exception are anxious to have a similar day's shopping event juit a soon as it can be arranged. The line Woolen company band serenaded tho various stores during

tne evening and tneir courtesy was much appreciated. A visit to tho stores around the closing hour was made by a n -pro.-e illative of the News-Times, and in each place it was found, without a single exception, that every article that had been advertised had been disposed of. O. K. Lang- of the O. Ik Iiiil; iV Co., hardware store, -was enthusiastic over the result of the day's business. "It was prcat, simply j;reat," he said, "and I for one want a similar trading day pulled off as s:oon -s it is possible. uch occasions are the very best means to cultivate the shop at home spirit. Count us In atin; we'll he ready, and will endeavor to do as well by the xublic as on this occasion w hen we pleased everybody." Chas. A. Ostrom, president of the Hcicr Furniture Co., was one of the most surprised men in the city. Although he expected a bi day's business he was scarcely prepared for the rush of buyers which almost overwhelmed his force of salesmen during tho day and niht. U'hen the doors of his store were opened at S:;u, he found a crowd of men and women in front, jvhich was almost impregnable; and tho rush of buyers continued throughout the entire day. .Mr. ostrom also favors another occasion of the kind at an early date. A. C. ilaslanser dryKoods merchant, was one of the busiest men in ihe city. "It'a immense," he said to the NewsTunes during one of the few moments he was allowed a breathing spell. 'Vuch shopping occasions will iloubtedless tend toward the cultivation of that lojal spirit to (die's home town which we are striving after in Mishawaka. We have really done line; in fact away beyond our expectations. ;uch Ket-toi;ether occasions between the merchant and buyer will

doubtless come more frequently to Mishawaka, and will result in a better appreciation of the efforts put forth by the local merchants. Yes, Dollar day lias been a decided success in every way." Kay Winey of Wincy & Co., dryKoods merchants, was still busy with c ustomers near midnight. "This has been Krcat!" he said, "the greatest day our store has ever had in its history, liven with our extra help, it took us all our time to wait on our customers. Mishawaka may feel proud of the succ---3 of its tirst Dollar day. Now is the time for the merhants to qet together and boost this kind of thing along. I believe we can

have the people do their buying ri'-cht here by cultivating such enterprises. I am in faor of getting up something of the same kind as soon as it can be arranged. I think the merchants should call a meeting and get togetlTer with the idea of arranging another 1 ig day as soon as it is convenient." K. II. Longstreet of the .Mishawaka pharmacy, in his advertisements offered values to the extent of cents, to every purchaser of a dollar's worth of qoods. That is, every buy r whose bill amounted to a dollar was given his or her choice of a ." cent article as a bonus. This unique idea was appreciated by the hundreds of customers which thronged the store all day and until closing time. The windows of the pharmacy were most attractive, among the decorations being a hundred crisp new dollar bills, which were artistically arranged. Key's wall paper store had the biggest day's sales in its history, outside the paints that were sold, the company disposed of no less than 1J.1 rooms of Oatmeal wall paper. Fifteen sales w ere made to .South lb nd parties, who were willing to pay transportation charges from .Mishawaka to their city. Crowds of buyers thronged the Koy store during the entire day. V. il. Li liinan, gents f u rn isbings, -en his extra help, had a hard time filling the demands of his numerous customers during the day. "The tinest thing that ever happened to Mishawaka." said 'Tt to" to the NewsTimes Friday night as he was locking up.

A petition is being circulated and xtensively signed for the purpose of installing an all night service at the PkhI postotliee to take effect upon its occupancy of the new federal building. The petition requests that a night clerk be added to the force at the postollice, to distribute the mails. It also requests that the general delivery window hours be extended from 7 lo .s o'clock in the evening for stamps and registry. That the open hours of the money order elepartment be extended from Z to i o'clock p. m. The afternoon mail out of Chicago arrises in this city Just at the time the postotliee closes under the present system and the people are forced to wait for this mail until the next day. With the all night service installed, the boxholders would be able to get their mail during the night. This system has been installed in cities smaller than Mishawaka, and the local manufacturing concerns, business men and individuals feel that this city is entitled to this service.

LITERATURE SECTION TO MEET WEEKLY

It has been eleclded that the meetings of the Literature department of the Mishawaka Woman's club will be held every Monday afternoon In the future, instead of every two weeks. The meetings will be held at the regular hour. The scheelule has been changed as the subject "The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighicri," said Mrs. Alma O. Ware, leaeler of the department, was too broad and too lengthy to be discussed every two rceks, and that more interest would be shown if the meetings were held oftener.

South Kend and Mishawaka are to be favored on Monday, March 15, by the visit of Marion 1-iwrence, W. C. I'earce. ami other Sunday school workers of international repute. Mr. I'earce will address the assembly at the high school in Mishawaka on Monday morning, March 15, and will then speak before a body of business men u.t luncheon. In the evening he will he at the high school auditorium in South Kend. This meeting will start at 7:30. Mr. i'earce is one of the "old guard" in Sunday school work. lie believes that the Sunday school ought to fear to elo a small thing rather than a lar-e fine. Mr. I.uwrance is superintendent of the adult elivision of the International Sunday School association. Within the past year nearly 1,200 Sunday school Kible class men sat down at a Kible class banquet planned by the leader 3 in one city in the interests of Sunday school work. At one state convention last fall over 7,'juO men. all representing organized adult Kible classes, paraded the streets of the convention city, marching to the music of i:S brass bands. "Cemvcrteel" at Revival. Mr. I'earce was born in llutsonville. 111., in 1S64. When he was nine years edd a young eedlege student from Fnion Christian college, at Merom, started a Sunday school in the I'earce school house, near his father's farm, a revival broke out, and one night young Pearce, though but a child, went to the altar accompanied by his three sisters and followed by his father. That night the mother saw her prayers answered and her faithful Christian teaching bearing fruit, as the father took down the family Kible, and with its pages open, eledicatcd his household to God. His love for the Sunday school work was born in that same school house. His inspiration to do something definite through the Sunday school came while attending, rather accidentally, a small -vunty Sunday school convention, where he hearel one of the matchless appeals of Illinois' consecrated general secretary, W. K. Jacobs, and where, also he heard the soul-stirring singing of Prof. K. O. Excell. Little did either think .that elay how closely their seuils would be knit together in the years to come. Nevertheless, from that time his heart w enlisted, and when opportunity afforded in 1SS9. he organized and taught a successful Kible class in his own school at Robinson, 111., to which place he moved after his marriage. One year later he organized a teacher training class, which he taught to the completion of the course, and its 12 members ha el the honor to receive, at a district institute from the hands of Prof. 1 1. M. Hamill, the first diplomas ever given for the completion of his legion of honor normal course.

PKAltCIC. tion on account of illnes.'?, he attended tho Illinois state Sunday school convention at Jacksonville, where he was appointeel a district president, mainly because he was the only man representing the four counties of his district. The year following he came to the convention with such a splendid report of his field that the leaders saw in Mr. Pearce a coming Sunday school specialist, and they showed their appreciation by making him president of the convention which met In Danville. Rocomo Fielil Worker. At the Danville convention, In 1891. Mr. Pearce was given the position of field worker for the state association, which he held for more than nine years, going into almost every hamlet, village and town in the state. In 19C0 he was appointed the general secretary of tho Cook county (Chicago) Sunday School association, and the samo faithful, painstaking service was given here during his three years of work. In 1903 the call came to enter the international work, which he accepted, and was soon put in charge of the teacher training department. The many important questions which this department presents, so far-reaching in their influence upon all churches, brought Mr. Pearce to his best Among the splendid results which he accomplished were: M) The increase of efficiency by the standardization of teachers training courses; (2) The dignity of completing such a course by the presentation of an International diploma after satisfactory examination; (3) The extension of teacher training by Improved literature anel

an organized enrollment. yjln 1908, at the Louisville convention, Mr. Pearce, having carried for more than a year the adult department work with his teacher training duties, was relieved of the teacher training, and has since that time been eloing a marvelous work with the adult department. In 1911, Mr. I'earce was elected dean of the international training school for secretaries and held workers, anel in January, 1912, be was calleei to become the associate general secretary. On Jan. 1, 191.", he was put in charge of the educational department of the International Sunday School association, and the work of the home department and the parents' elepartment wa.s added to that of the aelult elivision and turned over to Mr. Pearce for supervision. In the course of a year Mr. 1'earcf travels from 40,000 to 50,000 miles, going into practically even' state anel province of the ITniteel States anel Canada, making many addresses and attending conferences. Some School I'igures. During the three months ending Dec. 25, 1914. 1.245 adult Kible classes were organized and registered. These represent III eleneiminations and 29 associations. This means nearly 100 new classes organized and enrolleel each Sunday. The average enrollment per class was 23 members. If only one-half of them are new members, it means that each Sunday

1.147 men and women are enrolled i Sunday sdn ol work who had ni been coming. If three-fifths of these are men, it means that 6SS raen ar: addeei to the Sunday schoed membership each Sunday during the quarter The tetal number eif classes enrolled and registered to date is 46,94 1. showing at the time of registration a membership of 1,114. 5S4. This is evidence that the growth of the organized adult Kible class moveme nt is emly just begun. Many classes are merely organized in name and some have been abandoned, but the net gain continues to bo large. The significance of the movement is imue.and more appreciated. The magnitude of the International Sunday Schexd association may be tc some extent appreciated when censileration is given to the fact that therrj are 176.000 Sunelay schools in tho field with 1,700,000 teachers and otlieers, and an aggregate membership of morf than IS, 50 0,0 0 0 persons. The association holds annually approximately 20.000 conventions, many conferences, issues tens of thousands of leallets, all in the interest of making the Sunday school work of North America etlicient. It has three wrtchwords organization, cooperation, c angelizatlon. South Kend and Mishawaka will take advantage of Mr. Pearce's coinins on Monday, March 15, and will make the occasion one of the biggest events in its Sunday school history.
