The application for mem Its work is placing a new Bible in each of the Sunday school class rooms, and last year supplied all all but four rooms.

It is now completing the list and the four new Bibles will be dedicated to the memory of the late Mrs. J. J. Kress who for years was the teacher and inspiration of the class work and Bible study. Prenuptial for Miss Viola Drewes.

Miss Viola Drewes whose marriage to Chris Runge of Rock Island will be a March 30 ceremony, was the guest of honor Tuesday night at a party given for her by Miss Grace Swain of near Bettendorf. The 500 games amount to save at one time. Altho he collected as many as six two-dollar bills one week, and thought he might have to give up the practice of saving all of them, the average remained fairly steady, since some weeks no such bills appeared. Arouses Collector's Instinct Mr. Schoonhoven finds that this kind of saving arouses hl3 collectors' instinct, so that he Is not tempted tj spend the money as he would be with miscellaneous savings, which seem more like ready cash.

But now and then necessity forces him to break Into his store. Once this winter Mr. Schoonhoven happened to be without cash when the coal man delivered a load and presented his bill, and very reluctantly he had go into his two-dollar bills to pay the man. "It took me some time to make up for that," he laugher, "but I finally did it." Recently Mrs. Schoonhoven started a collection of silver dollars to help the funds along, but these coins appear so seldom that they multiply slowly.

At tbe same time a small collection of pennies is being kept up, altho it has been neglected this year for the saving of other currency. $2 Bill Bad Luck? Sometimes friends who don't like two-dollar bills bring them to Mr. Schoonhoven for change, because they know he saves them, but he prefers to keep only those that come to him in regular trade. "Some people think that two-dollar bills are bad luck," said he, "but I'm not superstitious that way. And a lot of people like to get rid of them because they are afraid they will mistake them for ones.

But I never have any trouble seeing the numbers on them, and for me they are going to mean a nice trip this summer." A A CIRCLE OBSERVES 43RO ANNIVERSARY AT HOME OF MRS.

Farmer Says Request for Aid Met With "Go to The Devil." A wife who wouldn't let him smoke his pipe in the house and who, on one occasion, told him to "go to the devil," was depicted to day by Frank Stichter, Butler town ship farmer, as trial of a divorce suit brought by Mrs. Nellie Stichter reopened in the Scott county district court before Judge W. W. Scott. The fore part of the session was occupied by arguments on a petition of intervention filed by the Farmers Savings Bank of Princeton which holds a chattel mortgage on Stichter's property in the amount of $1,416.

Merle. F. Wells, attorney for Mrs. Stichter, moved to dismiss the intervention because the bank had already started suit to foreclose the mortgage. Judge Scott deferred his ruling.

After testimony by Vincent Barron, deputy county recorder, about details of a chattle mortgage given by the Stichters to the McCausland Savings bank when they purchased their farm in 1916, the plaintiff rested her case until time to support allegations in her answer to Stichter's cross-petition. Stichter called to the stand by his attorneys, J. A. Hanley and Carroll denied emphatically that he had been cruel to his wife and daughter Rosalie, 13; that he attempted to starve them or threat ened his wife as charged in her pe tition and testimony, or that he was lazy. He told the court that he had worked hard since he was 9 years old.

He explained that an injury to his hand had prevented him from milking cows the last two years and that he had often remonstrated with his wife when she in sisted on milking their 10 cows. Mrs. Stichter had earlier testified that she had financed the family with $13,000 obtained from milk, butter and eggs. Stichter testified that she had forced him to leave the house when he wanted to smoke his pipe and that when he told her she must help him pay off the mortgage or they would lose their farm she "told me to go to the devil."

Chris Rohm was SI years old Tuesday and there were many old friends to remember the date and call with their best wishes at his home.

2S17 Harrison street. Altho crippled, Mr. Rohm is in good health. He was born in Lock Haven, coming to Davenport in I860. Liberia was founded In 1S22 with the idea of building it up as a nation for American negro freedom, but.

to date there are only 20,000 American negroes there. "I CAN'T afford to take a vaca- I tion trip on my income at least not oftener than every other year!" is the complaint voiced by many persons. But. Bernard H. Schoonhoven, 1917 Perry street, has a solution to that problem.

He has made a hobby of consistent savings, so that his vacation trips are only a slight burden all year round, and the saving gives him almost as much pleasure as the trip itself. Last year with pennies he had saved in a comparatively short time he was able to pay two-thirds of the expenses of a trip thruout the east for himself, his wife and three children. And thfs year he is saving two-dollar bills, while his wife saves silver dollars, and between them they expect to have enough for another fine trip next summer, altho they have not yet decided where they will go. Acquired Idea in Cafe. Mr.

Schoonhoven took the idea from an Italian restaurant keeper where he and his family stopped for lunch while on a former trip. When Mr. Schoonhoven mentioned to this man the heavy cost of such a trip, he brought out an old tobacco can in which he made a practice of saving all the pennies that came into his business, using whatever amount he had saved for his summer trip each year. Last summer Mr. Schoonhoven tried this idea and found it worked.

Immediately after returning from the trip he took on pennies, he started saving for this year's fun. But pennies take a long time to grow into dollars, and soon Mr. Schoonhoven hit upon the idea of saving two-dollar bills instead. He found that they came into his shop on the average of one a week, which seemed to him a logical DAVENPORT WOMAN KNEW MRS. MAHIN WELL AS A BRIDE The article in Tuesday evening's Democrat about the death of Mrs.

Anna Lee Mahin, formerly of Muscatine, stirred some early memories when it was read by Mrs. William LaVenture of 415 East Four teenth street.

Gillette of Muscatine. Her father, P. A. Gillette, was proprietor of the Ogil-vie House, Muscatine's principal hotel. "After Mr.

and Mrs. Mahin were married," says Mrs. LaVenture, "they came to the Ogilvie house and lived there for some time. They ate at our table, and we became fast friends. She was a beautiful bride then, and a fine woman always." CLAIM VICTIM WALKING TOWARD DOOR WHEN SHOT Des Moines, March 27.
