Honesty Pay?"
In the February issue of the popu-
lar American Magasine is published
a letter from a young man who repre-
sents himself as beinjr eighteen years
of age and raises the question with the
editor: "Does Honesty Pay?" The
editor passes the question on to the
readers of the magazine and asks
them to write to the young man and
offering $100.00 for the best answer
to the young man's question.
Using this as the basis of a con-
test the pastor of the local Methodist
church is conducting a contest on the
same article and is offering a prize
of five dollars to the young person in
Burleson county who writes the best
answer to the young man's question.
No ulterior motive is actuaing this
contest; any person entering can have
his entry returned in case he wants
to submit in the magazine's offer.
The rules of the contest are simple:
Any person under twenty-five years
of age is eligible. No limit is set
for the length of the article; three
judges will be selected, the entries
will be numbered so that the judges
will not know whose paper they are
reading at any time and the five dol-
lars will be awarded by u representa-
tive of the judges at the evening
service "Youth Night" of February
2B. All entries must be in the hands
of the pastor by Friday, February 23.
Persons entering the contest are re-
quested to enclose their papers in an
envelope and NOT to put their names
on the papers themselves; only on the
outside of the envelope. These will
be numbered and the names kept
in the pastor's office. The subject of
the message at service on the evening
of February will be: "Does Honesty
Pay?", and the sermon will constitute
the pastor's reply to the young man.
Lenten Services
At St Mary Church
Throughout the lentsn season, be*
ginning this week and ending on
Easter Sunday, services will bo eon
ductod at St. Mary's Catholic church
each Sunday morning, when Mass will
be celebrated and a sermon in Bo-
hemian will be delivered, according
to announcement by Rev. Father Ur-
banovsky, pastor. Each Sunday even-
ing at 7:80 o'clock the services will
include the Rosary, an English ser-
mon and benediction. On Sunday
night, February 18th, services will be-
gin at 7 o'clock in order to allow
->'.tendants to witness the play to be
given at 7:30 by St. Mary's Colleagues,
it was Btated.
On Wednesday nights at 7:30 there
will be English way of the cross and
benediction.
The Bohemian way of the cross and
benediction will be conducted on Fri-
days at 7:30 o'clock. The public
generally is invited to attend any or

successful organization of efficient
