The-room was effectively decorated in a profusion of wild flowers, leaves and crepe paper. The guests were invited in by Miss Annie Lou Pernell, who was artistically dressed In her grand mother's costume. After a bit of fun and music the guests were seat ed and a few games were played. In the meantime fortunes were present, ed from the Gypsies and read aloud, causing much laughter and fun. Nest everyone began to work on a word contest which lasted fifteen minutes, after gathering and examining the papers the judges presented the prize, a box of washing powders, to Messrs. Maurice Strother and Jasper Collins. While the couples were talking Bet tie Moore called for volunteers to take part In an impromptu debate. The query. Resolved that It Is better to be loved and lost than never to be loved at all. Misses Alma Faulkner and Lucille Harris and Mr. Joe Bur nette quickly consented to support the affirmative while Miss Emma Ball and Mesrs James Matthews and Hugh Moseley were eqi^ally ready to sup. port the negatlye. These debaters j were sincere In their argument and| rendered many god points that we think would likely be of much ttene-1 fit to the younger and more experience ed guest. The judges tor this contest | were Mrs. Lewis, of Warrenton, Mrs., Herman Pernell and Mrs. 8. L. Hale of Alert The judges decided in favor of the negative aid* and the prize was presented as foliowt: To Miss Emma Ball a cake of soap, to Messrs. Mat. thews and Mesetey a can of sardine# each. Mr. Joe Burnette was given credit for making the best speech, perhaps he had received more ex perience along the line of debate. Then came the big parade, each couple pa raded from one room to the other end the Judges, after long and careful consideration, awarded the prize to Henry Messier end Bettie Moore who each declared the other to be the cause of them winning the prise. Well anyway, from their looks It was their prise ell right Then to our surprise, Verlie Moseley entered, dressed as Santa Clgpg and served candy and peanuts In abundance.

The hospital which a4e established at Fort Defiance, Arizona, was the flrfik hospital of any kind opened among the Navajos and for over thirty yearn the founder ministered to the neg lected wards of the nation. Many out er acts of heroism could be cited. The church's vtaek--4s co.exteaatve with that of the government.
