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.

sunaay Mount Vernon's first band con-
eert of the summer series was well
received by the usual large crowd
on Saturday evening. 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.

tion of W. R. Fuller furnish you

win Rogers, Reed Needles.

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.

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.

and Cemetery
The Origin Of The
Union Cemetery
This newspaper is indebted to
Miss Alva Heneks of 'Meehanicsville
for an account of the history of
the Union church and cemetery.
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.
