Committee Unable To Provide Lights For Soft Ball Field The report from the committee from the Chamber of Commerce' and the Junior Chamber of Com- merce concerning soft ball games in Mount Vernon this summer, is, "There will be no soft ball," This will ,be a disappointment to many people who found watching the games at Ash Park solved the entertainment problem in a fine way on a hot summer evening. Here-to-fore the crew from the Iowa Etectrie Light and Power company have looked after plac- ing the ,big poles and lights on the ] grounds each year, without cost to the teams. But this year the mem,bers of the crew are not so ! conveniently located in Mount Vernon, and find it impossible to give this service as in former years. The committee deems it too ex- pensive to hire this work done, so it will not be possi, ble to play soft ball this summer. A free will offer- ing was taken each night last sum- met but most of that money was used for current expenses during the season. Mt. Vernon Defeats 01in Sunday 12 To 2 After a week of rest the Mount Vernon baseball team came ~back in fine style by defeating Olin, in a game Sunday by a decisive score of 12 to2. The boys had on their best play- ing clothes. They hammered the ball for 14 hits, and played error- less ball in the field. Skalsky, pitcher, allowed 10 hits, but kept them well scattered and became very stingy with them in the pinch- es. The boys initiated the diamond at Ivanhoe .with some very good fielding plays as well as pounding the ball for several extra base hits. Burgess made two excellent run- ning catches of line drive ,balls, as well as leading the boys in hitting. All the players hit well. Next Sunday if you are looking for some good recreation, drive down to Ivanhoe and watch the *boys tangle with {Mechani.csville. !The local team now is second in in the L.C.J. league.

It is expected that this inspection ~xill be com- pleted this week. A final inspec- tion will bc made by a disinterested engineer hired by the R.E.A. in Washington, D.C. and on his favor- a~ble recommendation the lines will be accepted by the Linn Coopera- tive Association of which Glenn Stoner, local farmer, is president. The R.E.A. will under no condi- tion energize a line when tele- phone wires under the high line have not been moved. All such lines in this vicinity have been moved or promise made that they will be at once. House. The tiptoe appliance de- monstrations will be held in the Marion high school auditorium. A special membership meeting, which will 'be in lieu of the annual meeting dated February 2, 1939, will be held at 10 o'clock on July llth. 192 MILES OF LINE The lines to be energized com- prise 192.7 miles of primary lines and will have 481 customers. Mem,bers of the Linn R.E.A. as- sociation living along the existing line who have not yet started wir- ing their farmsteads are urged to do so at once as it will not be long before electricity will be available to them. 2~'any of the farms in this vicin- l,ty on the R.E.A. high line have already been wired and are now waiting for the line to be energized. A second program is pending which will com.prise 226 miles for which 565 applications have been received.

W. R. Fuller directed a smooth program of var- ied types of music. Favorable and unfavorable com- ments have been heard on the new ,location for the band stand on Second Avenue, South, ,between the Bauman Clothing Store and the Dr. Wolfe office. That the new location lessens the hazard, to small children who always play around the stand and on the streets during the concerts, was one of the favorable comments heard. It was suggested that the .band stand be moved closed to Main street so that the music might be heard ,bet- ter by pec~ple who sit in their cars. Seats for listeners were also sug- gested. New features on the concert will be offered this season. Anyone having an : amateur stunt suitable for presentation at the weekly con- certs is requested to get in touch [with John Klimo. BAND PERSONNEL Mount Vernon and Lisbon golfers will play a tournament with the Tipton country club on the local golf course on Sunday afternoon, June 25th. Playing will start at 1:30 and all local members are urged to take part in the tourna- ment. SOAP Mr. and IMrs. James C. L. Clark of Springville moved to *Mount Ver- non last week and have taken an apartment at the Lloyd Snyder residence. Mr. Clark is employed at the Jaynes Soap Works. The Jaynes plant has been selling soap faster than it could make it since the product was placed on the market in the spring. 15,000 pounds has already been made and it is expected that the plant will soon ,be turning out approximately 5,000 pounds of soap a week. Most of the product has been marketed to large users such as cafes, restaurants, hotels, schools and institutions. The soap is sold in granulated form in 25 and 50 [ pound bags. USE LOCAL PRODUCTS I2,000 pounds of tallow and lard has been purchased within a radius of 20 miles since the plant started production. No ira`ported fats or oils such as whale or cocoa- nut oil have been used. Caustic soda is the only product used which comes from outside of the state. The people, who under the direc- tion of W. R. Fuller furnish you these fine concerts each week, are: Trumpets---Howard Fisher, Ed- win Rogers, Reed Needles. Clarinets--Jap Bloom, Helen Burgs, Margaret Siggins, Arlene Lindsey, Luverna Tray]s, Don Min- nick, Louise Dvorak, James Eyre, Alice Vodicka, Robert I~igh.

School Board Buys Power Mower For School Lawns Tile Mount Vernon school board met last Thursday evening. Plans for the yearly budget to be adopted in July was discussed. The board also purchased a power mower for the use of the janitors in mowing the school yards, and athletic grounds at the high school. The mower is to be equipped with a one horse power motor. It was ordered through the Dale Johnson Hardware Store. For Sale: Whickerbills and Gill- gadgets guaranteed to fit any ducks paddle-wheel. The Butler VChickerbill .Sales and ,Service, Ken- ny Butler, Prop. 349 one of those abandoned Churches and through the broken windows we saw the altar railing still standing intact. Imagination pie- tured that sacred fixture as speak- ing and revealing many events which have transformed and beau- tified untold numbers of human beings. At that altar penitent souls have kneeled and sought pardon through prayer. The vows of ula- trimony have been pledged there and marital happiness initiated. Precious infants have been dedicat- ed to God in the ceremony of Chris- tian baptism. The Divine sacri- fice for human redemption has frequently been commemorated in the tIoly Communion. At that sacred shrine vows of loyalty in Church mem,bership have been re- corded, vows which have oriented conduct for future years and de- cided eternal destinies. Then I imagined the joyous Sun- day School of the long ago when Happy children with youth and age mingled their voices in praise and studied together the Word of God. Prominent personalities in natural and Church activities today attri- bute their stability of character to those rural services. Then the nlusic. Not many ora- torios perhaps, but soul-stirring hymns which remain imperishable in memory's music. Then there was the social life in that rural Church, the chicken dinners and the neighborhood dis- cussions on various subjects of in- terest. To these were added liter- ary entertainments, uplifting, re- freshing and of greater value than many of the dissipating night clubs of modern times. Last, but not least in the inven- tory of valuables in that rural Church were the "country lasses". They were beautiful but not arti- ficial; they were attractive but not coquettish; they were vigorous but not vulgar; they were educated hut not .prudish; they were intelligent hut not sophisticated. They were religious, sincere and practical and fortunate the youth who secured one of them as a life companion. These are some of-the products of the pioneer places of worship and it is to .be hoped that ,both the after-vision and the forward-vision may arouse a dynamic purpose to rehabilitate and to maintain these sacred and inestimable edifices which received so much of Divine favor in other years. Graders Will Work 24 Hour Shifts When Weather Permits The rains of this week have de- layed grading work on the Town- ship road southwest of Mount Ver- uon.

Her grand}parents, Preston and Martha ])owning, donated the land for the Union cemetery in which their baby daughter was the first person buried. Only two of their children, out of a large family, who grew to manhood are buried in the cemetery. They are Nancy Downing Andre, Miss Heneks' grandmother, and Mrs. Downing Elliott. Several of Pres- tos Downing's children, who died in childhood, are buried there. Preston and Martha Downing, with their family came to Iowa from W'ashington county, Indiana in the year of 183q. The trip was made in covered wagons pulled by oxen teams. They entered a piece of land in Pioneer township, Cedar county, in- cluding the land where the Union church and cemetery are now lo- cated. A daughter, Sarah Ann, the ninth cllild was born March 24, 1841, and passed away on June 27, 1842. They buried her on their own land and she was the first person buried in what later becaute known as the Union Cemetery. Thus, the Union Cemetery was started ill the year of 1842 and be- came a burial place for lnany faln- ilies in the surrounding comnlun- ities. Some of the families represented there are: Downing, Andre, Elliott, Heneks, Pickert, Filloon, IMeNee, Armentrout, Park, Rhoads, :McCall, .McClellan, 'Gabbert, Brenneman, Studor, Bonn, HaI'per, Hammond, Pierce and many others. A church was built on this plot and dedicated as the "l~nion Church" in the year of 1876 or 1877. For many ye:].l's it was a church of great aetivitiy and leaves beautiful memories in the lives of many who attended this church years ago. R. B. McConlogue Spoke At Franklin Bureau Meeting Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Ink were hosts for the monthly meeting of the Franklin Township Farm Bur- eau on Tuesday evening. R. B. ,McConlogue of IAsbon presented a very interesting account of his re- cent trip to Italy. He showed pic- tures to illustrate his talk, after which many questions of interest concerning Italy, were asked and discussed by tile group. County Agent Rex C.onn explained the coming picnic which will be given by the Linn County b'arm Bureau at Hawkeye-Downs park in Cedar Rapids June 26. Ice cream cones and straw,berries were sold for re- freshments. Spring Creek Club Met With Mr. and Mrs. Roy Burge Spring Creek club ]net Friday evening" with Mr. and Mrs. Roy Burgs.

IS I)IRE~VED BY GLEN LOW The Sumnler Theatre production, under the direction of guest direct- or Glen Low, is attracting state- wide attention and orders for tick- ets have conic from town and coun- try people from all over the slate.
