Plainfield brought two i ... i : ' stirring messages vu uuuieui-cB that packed the First Baptist church here Sunday, for the open ing of Mission Week, which is be ing observed all this week.

On Sunday morning he pointed out that the need of the world was God to follow more closely the plan set by God. Dr. Flainheld was born in Italy 63 years ago and he dwelled at length in impressing his audience that they Bhould be thankful they lived in America "The best coun try on earth," he repeated over and over again. Sunday evening, with every available seat taken, he told the story of his life. He was an invalid until he was nine years old. He entered college at age of ten and graduated at 14. Took a postgraduate course, and at 18 became a Catholic priest and studied to be a missionary. While his legs were paralyized, his father took him to the top of a snow-capped mountain and rolled him on the snow and ice for three hours. Then they went home and he was plunged in hot and cold water for hours. He soon be gan to get better, and in three months could crawl alone. Dr. Plainfied was aboard a ship which was wrecked, and - after floating on open sea for three days was rescued. In addition to Dr. Plainfield, Dr. J. B. Hipps, and Miss Bertha Smith, who have recently return ed from China, will speak nightly Brazil Declares War ; . .

Thursday morning at eleven o'clock, Howard Clapp, county chairman, gave The Mountaineer an order to prepare the copy for the miniature newspaper. The ex tent of his orders was "put thun der in the copy, make it sharp and cutting." Taking four blank pages, the advertising department started scratching their heads searching for suggestions and thoughts. By three o'clock the rough draft of the copy was ready. . Business had taken Mr. Clapp from town until six, and at 6:15, the copy was given his approval, with urgent orders to get them ready at once. The deadline was ttaj-ee o'clock Friday. Printers and pressmen started Friday morning. Machines were speeded up, and every means for meeting the dead line were pushed. At three o'clock the first deliv ery was made, and the papers started on their way into the far corners of the county.

We feel tfiat our whole community is ready to rise up and bring in the scrap as soon as you get a chance. So you're going to get that chance!
