All members will hereby Uke
notice that on next Sunday morning
immediately after ch» rch icrvices,
a congregational meeting will be
held. It is very important that
every member be present at thi"
meeting. Issues of vital consequence will come up for consideration. Some changes fn the eonstio*
tlon will be made and it is important that the congregation be there
en masse.
The first meeting of the Teachers
Training Class was held last Thursday evening. It proved to be interesting to the very last minute.
Fifteen mebmers have been enrolled
op to the present time and it is ex*
pected that this will be Increased to
at least thirty five in the very near
future. This class is open to all
members who care to join. This
class is using as its text book, Tha
Pupil, by Luther A. Wiegle Ph. D.
D D. Yale University. This book
constitutes the first year of the
Evangelical Teacher Training
Course.
The Christmas program was in*
doed very well attended. It waa
remarked that was the largest nam*
ber ever filling the church. Some
twenty five people had to uo turned
down at the door for lack of room.
A treat was given the Primary and
intermediate class Contrary to sll
expectations, the lights on tbe tree
woraed.
Duplex Envelopes are being Introduced in the Sundoy School.

j  An Original Poem
The following poem was written.
by Rev W. S. Flther and Is dedl-!
eated to The Soldier Boys of Pike i
County:
There Is noise aod   commetion   in:
every world mart.
There are troopers on  land  and
troopers to air.
There are   mothers   now knitting
with tears in the heart.
There are  voices that  whisper.
11 p» that do part.
Wilt he fail?    Will he  live?    Will
be conquer aod where?
Our ^rtomes are gar landed,   flags
^loUer gsy,
For*o*1»oys  from  old   Pike,  are
called to the fray.
Our   boy*>   will   march  and   their
hearts will leap,
When its shoulder to shoulder and
friend to frienJ
But It's some  to the  top,   and   its
some to tbe deep.
And some to the harvest that war
•hall reap;
Rot IU r. fight for  all to  tho  very
end.
And  its  each  to  his goal,   nor
swerve nor sway.
For offr boys from old Pike are now
|pj the frav.
Then down with the Kaiser, and his
muiderous creeds;   *
The rape of weak nation  hia bell
dusted part
Then on. on ye troopers, putspur to
your steeds I
There are cities and  nations that
cry for men's deeds,
With tho pain hell-torture in a bat-
. tie crushed heart!
Up with Democracy!   Humanity
ealli!
This is no time   try  wade   in
clover"
On, on, on,  on,   to  Berlin,
over!
For our boys from   old  Pike

Eggs May be Shipped by Mail
Eggs may now be shipped by parcel post to stry part of tho United
SUtes, according to a recent order
by the postal authorities. While
the government formerly limited
the zone to which perishable goods
might be sent it now places onlv restriction on wrapping as follows;
"Eggs shall be accepted for mail*
ing regardless of distence whenJ
packed in containers of double faced
corrugated paste ooard, meul, wood
or other suitable material sufficiently strong to prevent the crushing of
the eggs and tight enough to pre*
vent the escape of liquid if any eggs
should accidentally be broken, and
each egg shall be placed in a separate apartment. All such parcels
shall be labeled "Eggs" and such
parcels as contain more than two
dozen shall be transported outeidc
of mail bags."
Pleasure brougnt to bear by relatives of soldiers in training camps
is said to have been responsible for
tbe revocation of the original order.

A Biy Job
It will require a small army of
men to take tf.e fncomo tax returns
of persons subject to the new law.
Collector of Internal Revenue P. F..
Williamson today announced that 24
officers will start from his head*
quarters on January 1st am) on
January 2 every one of them will be

Waverly In »he Court House wher»»
he may be found every day of thc
dates stated. "I» will be well for
♦•very unmarried person whose Income for 1917 is $1,000 or over,
nnd every married person living
with wife or husband whose net income for 1917 is S2.010 or over, to
call on the income Ux msn and
learn whether or not they have any
tax lo pay," Collector Williams said
today "Tbe person subject to tax
who dasrn't make return In the time
prescribed is going to regret it.
The Government will get after ad
i'icome Ux slackers. "There's
hardly a business man, merchant or
professional man who won't have
to mtke return of Income. Farmers,
ns a class, will have to pay the tax.
The safe thing to do is for every
person who had a total Income of
$1,000 or $2,000. as the case may
be. and who Is not sure about what
deductions the law allows him, to
play Jt safe by calling on the income

Sugar Rations Limited
How would the average' Pike
county family like to be limited to
three pounds of sugar a month per
person.
A sugar ration of three pounds
for each person a month, a porklesa
day aod one wheaticas and meatless
days will be recommended to house*
holders in a new kitchen card soon
to be put out by the food administration. Observance of wheatlcs
and meatless meals will bo asked io
addition to the wheatleea and meatless days called for now.
The normal consumption of sugar
In the United States has been more
than seven poondra^enth for each
person. If the new directions aro
followed universally, It wJH dut IU
use below half. >-/
The card will caution against
hoarding foodstuffs In homes, point*
ing out that the practice not only is
selfish, but that it contributes to
high prices and defeate the purpose
of the food administration in seek*
Ing an equiUble distribution.
The reverse side of the card car*
riea a message (to householders on
the world -food situation and the
duty of America*towsrd feeding the
allies.       .
