In a beautiful iiome I will dwell, Where joys will never cease. “Up in Heaven I want to meet you, Our life we can enjoy,” Came the words from an aged old mother, To the ears of her long lost boy. Thoughts stirred the wild lad’s heart, As he watched her go away, Softly the words came from his lips, “I’ll meet you in heaven, some day.” If you have a mother, old, And so dear to your stony heart, Take lessons from a friend who knows, And never, never part. I will tell you, to have a good friend, You can never again say, After this loved one leaves you, A mother old fashioned and ^ray. Published by request of Mrs. Walter Hodges. FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL The people of Fairfield township are to be thankful for the additional four rooms which have recently been completed. The painting work will soon be completed. The free commercial course offered in the Fairfield High School is a big asset. Many of the young married men and women of Fairfield are taking advantage of this course. The people of Fairfield township have a pride in the school. Mrs. George Swindell, Mrs. A. B. Midyette and others from the beginning have kept the flower plot looking cheerful and pretty. Let every child, every parent and every citizen help to make Fairfield High School a better and more attractive school. The following responded and gave 25 cents each towards having the Fairfield school grounds cleaned. The committee wishes to thank each one for these gifts. Misses Emily and Mary Carter.$ .25 Mrs. A.

Harris offers medal to the one graduating with the “best attendance and high est grade in business department.” Begin now to work for these medals. -n “Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the princi palities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual host of wickedness in the heavenly places.”—Eph. 6:10-12. -o NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN AND WOMEN TO COME TO THE AID OF THEIR COUNTRY 1. We should go to God in prayer in behalf of the present situation. 2. We should apply ourselves to earnest and serious study of the present conditions and the future outcome. 3. We are facing a world’s great crisis. The turn in the coming presidential election seems to be pending upon the results of our election whether we will move forward or move back ward. It is well to study past history relative to religions and the moral questions. Our forefathers came to America seeking religious freedom. They drew up the constitu tion upon the basis of religious liberty. Our forefathers fought, bled and died for the high ideals and principles that America stands for today. America in her early life put Christ first —the church first, but today with a mixture of all the world, especially into our large cities, have come almost every race, tribe and tongue with its habits, customs, ideals, morals or im morals and the religions have been varied with their influence. They have been received and given an open and equal privilege in America. I would not personally consent to any de nomination or sect being put ir-o power who would destroy this glorious privilege; let it be Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Disciple, Luth eran, Episcopal, Roman Catholic, or any other denomination or sect.
