Quayle in opening the devotional services of the conference Wednesday morning, and then called on _those present to say a word of praise or experience. “The birds sing together; don’t mind if three of you speak at the same time. I can hear four of you at once, and the Lord has better hearing than a Methodist bishop.” When the hymns dragged a bit in time, Bishop Quayle swiftly said: “Don’t sing as if 7ou were at your own funeral. Even the appointments will not be funereal They'll be sendings, but not to the graveyard.” Ripples of laughter min- gled with the songs, testimonies and exhortations of the bishop. “The seventh day was the day when God celebrated because he had gotten through making the world and some and that was Sunda My crgument for Sunday is Christ.

For many years I have regularly at- tended the sessions of this conference and 1 almost feel as if I was a mem- ber. Owing to the fact that we have been preparing for this occasion for 30 yeals and have been making special preparations for the past year, I think you may feel assured that you are wel- come.

British Government Wants Damages for Failure to Fulfil Alleged Contract A Boston dispatch says Robert Mi- chaelis of London and New York filed a $1,000,000 damage suit in _the super- for court in Boston on Wednesday. aghinst the Hopkins & Allen Arms company of Massachusetts, a corpor- ation with a plant in this city, for al- leged failure to fulfil a contract to manufacture 400,000 rifies for the Brit- ish government. Michaelis claims that he did not learn that the company was not carrying out the alieged contract until it was too late to make other ar- rangements. The alleged contract referred to in the suit is the first one that the Hop- kins & Allen Co. were ncgotiating for. It is claimed by the company, it is understood, that the negotiations were never completed and the arms com- pany subsequently entcred into nego- , | tiations with the representatives of the Belgian government and accepted their contract and that it is upon this that the company is now working and at present manufacturing parts with the expectation of producing rifles within .|a year from the time the contract was negotiated, which will be a record time for any industry to take a contract and commence production.

This beats shampoos, which merely remove the dandruff for a few days.at most. Lee & Osgood are now strongly recommending Parisian Sage, a harmless, inexpensive and quick act- ing preparation, that is guaranteed to act directly on the cause pf dandruff and entirely remove it or the pur- chase price will be cheertully refunded. Here is a test no one should fail to try. Get from your druggist a pack- age of Parisian Sage. Rub a little of it into the scalp with the finger tips and see for yourself how the dandruff the hair stops falllng out and all itching immediately ceases. Nothing hurts the hair more than dan- Qaruft, so why not begin using Parisian Sage today and be forever rid of it? THERE ™ mo acvertsing B} o T From now on the Tailoring Establish. ment of J.

Advocates of the new department include several members cf the House of Comons, particularly those identified with comercial inter- ests. Those who opose the idea of such an addition to the Ministry declare that ‘ts work is now being adequately per- Zsrmed by the Board of Trade, whose president is a member of the Cabi- net. But advocates of the new de- partment declare the Board of Trade is not a Ministry of Commerce. Exactly what would be the func- tions of such a Ministry are variously defined, but they may be generally stated In the words of a member of the House of Commons, one of the members of the delegation which call- ed on the Prime Minister to ask his opinion. “The great trouble with the present machinery of the Board of Trade,” he sald, ‘is that if there is a dispute or a strike there is no one at hand who can deal effectively with it. If we can get a man as Minister of Comerce- who understands mercantile conditions, he could be very valuable. “His usefulness would be wide. The business of his department should be largely propogandist,—the initiation of proposals for the opening of markets. The Foreign Office does something in this line throush its consuls, but they are mostly aliens, and busy with other matters. “Look_at what the Americans are doing.
