RUTHERFORDTON GIRL GRADUATES AT MOODY (Special to Courier.) Rutherfordton, Aug. B—lnvita tions to the graduating exercises of the Moody Bible Institute at Chicago have been received here and among the graduates who represent thirty-eight states of the Union and six foreign coun tries, appears the name of one from North Carolina that is par ticularly interesting to Ruther ford county—Miss Swannie Hes ter. Miss Hester was born in Rutherford county and when quite a small child moved with her parents to Rutherfordton, which place has since been her home and where after finishing school she became an efficient and much admired teacher in the Rutherfordton High School, Some four years ago she was engaged in State welfare work and it was this position she re signed to take up Bible Study and prepare herself for a trained worker in the Master's Vineyard. She has just completed a three years course and been accepted by the Mission Board of the M. E. church in whatever field they may select. Miss -Hester is a young woman of charming personality, deep re ligious zeal and enthusiasm and this consecration of her life to Christian service will doubtless re sult in blessing to the church of which she is a member and those to whom she ministers and will redound to the glory of the God she has long professed to humbly serve.

(Special to Courier) Rutherfordton, Aug. 9. — The Home Bureau had its regular first Monday meeting in the court house at 10 o'clock on Aug. 7th. Eighteen were present. In the business meeting, the plans for the Home Improvement Campaign were completed and a program for the next meeting ap proved. Mrs. F. I. Barber of For est City, was a pleasant visitor and made some good suggestions on the home improvement sub ject. After the business meeting the usual lunch was served. Im mediately after this, the proper finishing of a kitchen table was demonstrated by the Home Agent.

Miller, Harris, they adjourned to the court square for refreshments. Mr. Miller is very much admired by the Home Bureau for his thoughtfulness and generosity. If! Hs V The Home Improvement Cam paign. Frank Alvah Parsons, president New York School of Fine Appli ed Art, says that "Man is exact ly what he lives in, for environ ment is the strongest possible factor in man's development. One may be so long among loud noises, bad odors, inharmonious colors and wrong arrangement of things that one dosen't mind them because one has let them become an integral part of one's self, ' They are there, and they are as ' bad as they were at first, but one j has become immune to them. This J being admitted, it follows, of course ! that agreeable odors, harnionius I colors and pleasing arrangement have their immediate effects, but their tendency is toward refine ment, culture and artistic appre i ciation instead of toward brutal j ity, ignorance and indifference." '"The home moulds our tastes and lives. In the first place the home is the center of all life's activities. We are born there, and long before we have seen the shop, the office, the church, or even the school, our first impress ions of the -fundamentals of life have become fixed. These are ex ceedingly hard to efface.''

This contest will close June, 1920. •You, have time to plant trees, flowers, paint the house, under pine it, start the lawn and any other work necessary to make your home the most attractive. Several women have entered. Come along and join the bunch; you can't lose, for the joy of hav ing improved your place doubly pays for the trouble and you may be the winner of a valuable prizes Any girl may enter by working over her bed room, such as paint ing the walls or papering, finish ing the fioor, making attractive inexpensive curtains, bed sets, scarfs, and home made rugs. The State winner in this eon test last year spent five dollars in fixing- up her room.
