It was in these earlier days that Mr.

and Mrs. Petit passed through many trying experiences and hardships, among which were the devastating prairie fires, the long severe winters with blinding blizzards, burying everything in deep embankments of snow. "They improved and lived on this farm for 38 years, when they retired, to their present home in Storm Lake. "Mr. Petit is in his 80th year, and Mrs.

Petit in her 79th year. "Those present to help them celebrate their anniversary were two daughters, Mrs. Jas. J. Harker of Estherville, and Mrs.

For a number of years past Mr. Fink has been tenor soloist of the Embury choir as well as singing in the quartet.

During their entire term of affiliation with Embury church the Fink family have endeared themselves to the congregation by their loyalty, their faithful discharge of their church duties and their wholehearted participation in the church program. Besides his activity in the choir Mr. Fink has had a prominent part in the pageantry work carried on at Embury and also in other musical activities. The choir numbers of last night's i of sixteen, service were chosen from some of' The closing numbers by twenty- meeting Saturday afternoon at O. O.

F. temple was an interesting place. It was full of young people Junior members and their friends. For this was their day in carrying out a charming program. Business was 'quickly dispatched, Miss Helen Harlan, a Junior member, announced the following features: Eight numbers by the high school orchestra, directed by Karl H.

Kubitz, every one being highly enjoyable. It is delightful to see these fifty young musicians respond to Mr. Kubitz's baton. The fact that each year this organization loses several 'seniors by graduation and takes on a number of untrained Freshmen seems to make slight difference in the ensemble. Along about thii time of year, they are under control and getting in fine work.

Caesar Cui's Orientale was especially nice in tone and feeling. The selections from "The Student Prince" had plenty of snap and variety and charm. Perhaps the Humoresque, ''The Donkey and the Driver" was the most popular number. However the audience indicated its desire for recalls after every piece but got none "for the good reason," said Mr. Kubitz.

"that these boys have to go and run their dad's business for the rest of the afternoon." Mr. Kubitz and his orchestra are among Freeport's most valued assets. The second feature on the program was Jean Wilcox's solo dancing in Spanish costume of lovely colors and later two character dances in white sailor suit. All were delightfully interpreted but the sailor girl made a great hit in "Old Man River" and "Kansas City Kitty." Barbara Burrell as accompanist was ready, firm and responsive. Part songs by the Boys' Glee club and the Treble Clef were the third feature of the afternoon.

These pupils of the High school music department showed excellent development under the training of Miss Mildred Wood, director of vocal classes. The fine and spirited rendition of Schumann's always lovely "Gipsy Life" met with hearty approval, followed by their second song a pretty selection of Rasbach's "Trees." Those two numbers were sung by a mixed chorus CHILDREN OF ST, JOSEPH'S SCHOOL START ON CRUISE TO "CITY OF HEALTH" The children of St. Joseph's parochial school set sail today on a twelve weeks cruise to the "'City of Health," Each children received as passport a health habit Their aim is to become health crusaders. The health crusade is a system of training in good health habits. The plan gives the child an opportunity to become a health crusader by keeping a daily record of his health habits.

The record is then checked in schools. However, as many of the important' health habit performances such as eating, sleeping, bathing and brushing teeth take place, out of school it Is necessary.to have the cooperation of the home. Those in charge of the school are therefore asking parents of the children to encourage them in their health habits. PAUL FRISBIE TO FLY THERE WITH MEMBERSHIP CARDS Mr. Fink's favorites and one was especially dedicated to him.

The closing number of the musical program was an especially effective rendering of "Blessed Jesu" during which the auditorium lights were dimmed and the reproduction of the picture of Christ in Gethsemane which is prominent over the pulpit was illuminated. At the close of the service the congregation personally greeted Mr. and Mrs. Fink and wished them Godspeed. In his address on George Washington JDr.

The salad, too, was patriotic in color but the real triumph of the dinner was the ice cream, served in the shape of the hewn log of that fateful cherry tree, on a real piece of wood, with the bark attached. A little red hatchet was held firmly in each plank.

SAYS FARMERS THINK SELVESJWOF MILLIONS Many of the farmer's troubles are caused by his inability to look ahead and think logically according to the new business monthly, "Fortune." An article on "Hogs" in this new magazine, says, "so steadily does the farmer consider the price he will get for his hogs that every four years he thinks himself out of many millions of dollars. In 1922, the farmer could sell 16 bushels oi corn for only $9, which was the price of 100 Ibs. of hog. Pondering this, he decided that in 1923 anu 1924 he would not sell his corn, but would feed it to his hogs and sell the hogs. Thus by 1924, the number of hogs slaughtered (under federal inspection) jumped from 43,000,00 to 53,000,000.

The price of 100 Ibs, of hog fell from $9 to a little over $8, and the 16 bushels ol com, which in 1922 were worth $9. in 1924 were worth nearly $16. "Again the farmer pondered. Apparently his idea had been wrong. It had become more profitable to sell corn, as corn than to sell corn as hogs.

Reversing his economics, he so reduced the hog supply that in 1920 the hog prices went to $12, and the value of his 18 bushels of corn dropped to $12," Freeport Post No. 139, American Legion, will be represented in the Legion's big aerial parade on Friday afternoon, February 28, when Paul Frisbie. 618 South Pine avenue, member of Freeport post, will fly with William W. McBoyle to the Illinois state headquarters of the Legion at Bloomington to deliver memberships which have been obtained in this section of the 13th district, which comprises Stephenson, Jo Daviess, Whiteside, Carroll, Ogle and Lee counties. Legionnaires in a large number of the state districts have indicated their intention of participating in the aerial membership parade which is scheduled to terminate at Bloomington about 3 o'clock Friday afternoon when planes from all sections of the state bearing Legion members will arrive there to present the membership cards to Adjutant William Mundt.

It Is expected that no less than twenty aeroplanes will descend on Bloomington at that hour to "bring in'" memberships which have been secured during the drive which has been in progress for the past several weeks. Stop at Dixon According to present plans the Freeport aeroplane will stop at Dixon to pick up additional membership cards of the 13th district. These will be obtained from District Commander John W. Nelson, who with a group of Legionnaires will meet Frisbie and McBoyle upon their arrival there. It is also probable that the Freeporters will be joined at that place by representatives of Walter R.

Caig Post of Rockford as plans are being made to send a ship from that city also." Upon -their arrival at Bloomington an hour's reception will be held by State Commander Edward Hayes, of Decatur. Other officials of the Lesion will be on hand to greet the flyers from all sections of the stale.

DAVIS PASTOR RESIGNS; TO ACCEPT PASTORATE IN MINNEAPOLIS, MINN, (Special to The Journal-Standard) Davis, Feb. William Riemann, pastor of St. Paul's Evangelical church near Davis, announced his resignation to the congregation Sunday and will accept a cn.ll to Peace Evangelical church, Minne- ap-'ls, Minn. The Rev. Mr.

Riemann pastor of St. Paul's church seven years ago, when the congregation was passing through a critical period in its history. He. applied -1 Mf without reserve to the upbuilding of all the departments of the church and, with the interest of young and old at heart, fostered such ne organizations as a Young People's League, Sunday school orchestra, concert band and a women's Willing Workers society, which has done much good work ror hospital in the cl'y i Freeport; for orphanages, old people's homes and epileptic asylums. The pastor's wife also made valuable contribution to many departments of the church and her jp a'ld ki- interest will long be remembered, The community also is Indebted to the pastor for his support of any program for schools and roads.

It is but natural that the members of this church, who have given their pastor splendid co-operation in every good work, should consider his departure to a new field of labor with considerable regret. However the field of labor in the city of Minneapolis presents a new challenge and a large opportunity for service which called forth the rehdy response of the pastor. Pastoral relations with the church at Davis will terminate some time within th'n next three months on a date acceptable to both parties.

The only evidence seized was unfinished mash product which according to a government chemist who testified in the case, contained 5.90 per cent of alcohol by volume In one sample submitted and 2.25 per cent in another. Commissioner Vance in'rendering decision to hold the de said: "I realize that we are skating on very thin ice as regards the legal authority of this particular case, and that counsel for both the government and the defense are equally justified in asking conviction and dismissal. As no similar case has been passed upon by the higher court from this district, I am binding the defendant over in, order that such a decision may be rendered in case the arguments are later submitted to a higher court of John H.
