The Mutual Benefit

in advertising the Marshall OIL Com
pany's very best OIL as "Roseine' we
had no thought of exposing the lair of
a venomous serpent, nor of giving the
least offense. 1t is now question of
veracity between the Mutual Benefit
and the Marshall Oil Company. Ii the
Marshall Oil Company has been selling
the same oil for two prices, that fact
accounts for their great excitement
and explains their fear that the low
prices of the Mutual Benefit will take
away the living of those dealers who
are selling their oil at higher prices
If our efforts to let all the people live
cheaply result in depriving few deal
ers of living, we shall regret the small
evil while we rejoice in the greater
good. To continue our good work we
are willing to let others sell all the oil.
That may be necessary to keep clear of
completely with fraud. Our methods

A TEST CASE BROUGHT
Question Of Pay for Lodging OF
Prisoners to Be Decided by
the Court.
Sheriff Shoemaker Brings a
Friendly Suit Against
the County.
Supervisors Rule That Lodging
Is a Fee..The Point to Be
Tested.

Sheriff Shoemaker has brought suit
against Marshall county for the pur-
pose of testing rule adopted by the
board Of supervisors in relation 10 re-
enumeration for lodging prisoners at the
county Jail. While the sheriff's petit
ton alleges that s1,055.01 is due him.
there ia no dispute concerning $61S of
this amount and the balance is all that
is involved in the suit in the way of
money. The question raised. however,
will affect the remuneration of succeed
ing sheriffs.
Under the old fee system and also un-
dor the maximum salary system 1t was
customary to allow the sheriff pay for
boarding and lodging prisoners. Since
the maximum salary Of $4,000 was
fixed In this county and up to the time
of Sheriff McPherson's administration
this was done. The rate paid was fixed
at 1914 cents for each meal. 12ia cents
per day for lodging and 2h cents per
day for care and washing. During
Sheriff McPherson's administration. at
time when the jail contained many
prisoners, the supervisors, in order to
reduce the sheriff's compensation. made
ruling that the 12is cents per day for
lodging each prisoner was fee and
should not be charged to the dieting
account but should be charged with
the other fees of the office that go to
make up the sheriff's salary of $4,000,
thus reducing the sheriff's receipts for
dieting prisoners $500 to $500 per
year. Edibles We're cheap at that time,
business was good and Sheriff McPher-
son accepted the situation.
Sheriff Shoemaker has had the ques-
ton up before the supervisors for some
time. He learned that Marshall coun-
ty was the only county in the state
charging the lodging of prisoners TO the
fees account. The supervisors. how
ever, said they would prefer to have
the courts pass upon the question and
would accept the decision of the district
court as final. Sheriff Shoemaker has
affidavits for the other counties of the
state showing that Marshall county
stands alone in enforcing this point He
says that with the high prices for food
now prevailing he will lose money In
sustenance for the prisoners
unless allowed the lodging fee to make
UP for the extra cost. He also thinks
he should have.so something for the care
and attention given the prisoners. and
for these reasons the lodging fee should
not be taken from him by charging it
UP to his salary account. He will. how
ever, accept the ruling of the court.
The case will be presented at the next
term. No evidence will be necessary.
but the court will be asked to interpret
the law on the point raised.

Extra chairs were required to seat
the audience in the evening. Mr. Cor
don read in the gospel of Mark the ac-
count of Christ's feeding the 5000. He
said. There is one inlet OF power.
the Holy Spirit. There are five outlets:
The life. what we are: the lips, what
we say; the service. what we do;
money, what we do not keep; prayer,
what we claim" The third of these,
Service" was the subject of the even
ings discourse. Mr.. Gordon gave
vivid description of the journey of Je-
sus to the desert place for "a day of.
He, the most tired of all, was moved
with compassion. There never was a
man so moved by a passion for winning
men. IIe lived to win them. He died
to win them. Ills last word was. go
and win men" His last act on earth
was winning men. His first act was to
send the Holy Spirit to help us win
them. Here the speaker pictured
scene of the meeting of Jesus in Heav-
en- after his return from earth, and
conversation with Gabriel, in which
Gabriel asked the question as to how
men the world over shall come to know
or His dying for them, and is told that
Jesus is depending upon His disciples
to tell the story.
Those who shine In this world were
likened to ky-rockets which shine
brilliantly for moment and then come
down. They who turn many to right
eousness" shine las the stars forever
and ever" Three things are essential
to winning men. First, surrender to
Jesus Christ as Master because the
Spirit of Jesus fills the surrendered
heart. Second quiet time alone with
God every day, that He may tell you
how to do 1t. Third, a purpose to try
to win others to Him: purpose that is
underneath every other purpose. The
last was illustrated by description of
the way that Mr.. Davenport, president
OF the Erie Car Works, took to win men
to Christ, and the success which fol-
lowed.
In closing Mr. Gordon asked his hear
ers TO say silently in their hearts three
things. II will submit myself to Jesus
Christ as my Master. I will try to take
some time alone with Him each day. I
will try to win some one to Him" Then
with brief prayer. the Quiet Talks
on Power were completed.

CLOSE OF GORDON MEETINGS.

Series Closed With Thursday Eve
nins's Service.
The intensely interesting series of
talks upon Power reached the high
water mark in the attention which they
ming, when the closing services We're
held. Mr.. Gordon has clearly demon
strated the fact that quiet talks upon
his fascinating subject may. without
the aid of anything sensational, arouse
and hold the attention of thinking
Christian people, and convince them
religion is both deeply spiritual and
Thoroughly practical.
The subject for the afternoon was
1.-THE Listening Side of Prayer" In
opening the subject the speaker read a
few scripture verses which contained
the word need" for the one thing that
drives to prayer is our need. The
thought that God knows our need sits
our prayer and keeps us from asking for
some things. If the Father knows your
need, then the answer to prayer may be
sure. 1t is not as if God gave the key
to His great source of supply, but 1t is
as If He said II should like to come
andsupply your need" Halfthe pleasure
in giving is in seeing the pleasure of
those who receive. God loves to see our
pleasure in receiving.
Bible study is the listening side of
prayer. Prayer is not monologue, but
dialogue, and the most important part
of prayer is listening, and listening to
God makes prayer easy. BY Bible
study. we shall find ourselves drawn
out to say some things to God. We are
children in the school of prayer and ev-
cry right prayer is the spirit guided
prayer.

Name Of Charity organization-He's
Professional.
The charity organization has been
called upon to investigate the case of
man by the name of Miller, who aas
been making house to house begging
visitation telling the most heartrending
tales about the poverty of family of
little children in his care and his ina
bility to provide for them while sick.
He tells his victims that the charity or
ganixation and county overseer OF the
poor have both refused him aid. At Mrs.
l. L. Cady's house on North First street
he suggested that there was some
Christian lodge money that he wanted,
referring to the Elks lodge poor fund.
The charity organization finds that this
man pays his board with a family In the
south part of town, has not been sick
this winter, and has no children in his
care. He is either fraud or a crazy
mer affliction.
The charity organization also has
had occasion to explain another case.
A woman who had been receiving aid
from a kind-hearted doctor of this town
came to the charity organization with
An order for 81 worth of groceries. The
order was promptly filled, with the ex-
ception of potatoes. This woman was
terribly angry about the omission of the
potatoes and raised row. Her case
was investigated and Overseer of the
Poor Pemberton requested that nothing
be given the woman. She Is able to
work, but will not. She came here
pauper from another county and Mr..
Pemberton ordered her tie return, as he
did not want her to become charge on
the county. The charity organization
refused her any more aims and the pub
lie should put little faith in her stories.
1t is only by careful investigation of
every case that the unworthy can be
sifted from the worthy poor, and 1t is
the constant effort with the charity or
ganization to use Its funds carefully
and judiciously.
