TEMPLE, DAILY TELEGRAM,TEMPI# TEXAS,
The Prepared Man
❖
A little less of "Preparedness" Interest ns concerns
possible future wars with some undefined enemy and a
little more Preparedness In meeting the daily require-
ments of supporting and educating a family. In a HOME
rather than In a house one pays somebody else for the
. privilege of occupying, is the subject of this talk.
The man who deposits part of his earnings In a Sav-
ings Account, drawing Interest, is going to have a few
hundred dollars to his credit in reasonable time. That
little "start" Is going to enable him to Buy a Lot or to
make initial payment on an Jmproved Home. That's
"Preparedness." It has Got To Start Somewhere and
Some Time,

Is the purpose before the local church
society.
A travelogue was enacted at the
meeting yesterday, with Mesdames K.
L. Culbertson and Jake Heynolds tak-
ing the leading parts. Missionaries In
Japan, Mexico, Brazil, Korea and Cuba
were represented by Mesdames A. C.
Numsen, John May, M. E. Osborne
and N. C. Erskine. These foreign
workers were accompanied by natives
from their respective fields, the latter
being children in native costume. Mrs.
P. L. Downs' master mind was behind
i this correct appareling. The entire
I feature was unique and thoroughly ln-
j terestlng and instructive and served
I well the purpos; for which it was In-
| tended. A bulletin giving the latest
| news from these foreign fields was
j also read as an additional feature of
value to the cause.
These monthly meetings are to be
I distinctly original in future, as they
| have been during the past three
months, and every womun in the
church will be welcome to attend
them.

| Women's Church Meeting Interesting,
j The women's society of the First
(Methodist church gave a unique mis-
sionary program yesterday in lieu of
their regular Monday meeting, follow-
ing the resolve rece ltly made for fur-
thering the cause of missions with
more zeal than has been manifest in
the past. The idea is to acquaint the
church with what is being done by
southern Methodist missionaries in
foreign fields, since lack in interest is
due, almost entirely, to lack of infor-
mation on this subject. The names of
these missionaries and the work they
are doing is widely and well known in
the countries in which they labor, yet
are entirely unfamiliar to the greater
portion of the church bodies in this
country by whom they are supported.
To intelligently dispel this condition
and arouse a consequent enthusiasm
Mrs. It. L. Brown was reported yes- |
terday to be much improved. Mrs. |
Brown has been ill ten days and dur- )
ing part of this time her condition j
has been serious.
Miss Ozborn of Waco will come to-
day to be the guest of the D. J. La-
Frello household and to meet her sis-
ter, Mrs. Bernard, who has been
visiting here.
Mr. and Mrs. W. Poste Carr and
their guest, Mrs. S. D. Zittle of Bay
City, spent Sunday with Mr. and
Mrs. Neal Woodall, who are in camp
at Little River.
Yesterday's reports from the sick
room of Col. C. C. Minnis were to tho
effect that he was convalescing nice-
ly from the operation to which he
submitted several weeks ago.
Miss Beatrice Chitders with Mrs.
Edna McDonald and Misses Bernico
Barclay and Marjorle Crawford mo-
tored up to Waco yesterday morn-
ing and returned at mid-day.

yiese were adopted by unanimous
vote.
A luncheon to which fifty tickets
had been sold was prepared and serv-
ed under the direction of C. H. Black,
It. D. Morgan and E. B. Lewellen. It
was a fine repast, and tho informal
way in which the luncheon was con-
ducted gave all in attendance an op-
portunity to mingle together and get
better acquainted. Wht»e waiting for
the ice cream, President Ruttencuttcr
called on Col. P. L. Downs for a
talk. Colonel Downs directed his re-
marks to the Bell County Fair, and
made a very telling plea for the co-
operation of all people of Temple in
support of the fair. Chewing gum
was distributed as a compliment
from the Texas Gum company.
After the luncheon all members
of the Y. M. B. L. and their friends
who were present were guests of O.
