NOT A DOLLAR LOST
Nor an Acre of Land by Any Official
Act of r. c. Dunn When He
Was State Auditor.

In regard to the reports made by
Public Examiner Samuel T. Johnson
as to the accounts and business Of the
state auditors office during the ad-
ministration of r. G. Dunn, after all
is said and done, there is not a word
or charge which has been sustained
that shows that the state ever lost
one dollar in money or one acre Of
land through any action of Mr.. Dunn;
but on the other hand it has been
shown beyond dispute that the state
gained millions of dollars through the
business sagacity with which Mr..
Dunn protected its interests; that he
collected more money from the sale
of state timber during the eight years
he held Office than was collected in
the thirty-one years previous, and
that he collected ten times as much
from trespassers on state timber
lands than ever before collected in
the history Of the state.

Use Of Vine Upon Walls of Building
Makes Rooms Dryer-Reason
Given by Scientist.

81 have of late been very frequently
asked, writes a Canadian professor
'about the effect of Boston ivy upon
the walls of buildings, some asserting
that the covering of walls with the
ABOVE named vine caused dampness in
the interior. / am convinced that this
idea is a fallacy. 1t will be conceded
by all that the plant maintains its
growth by the effect of moisture, either
from the ground in which it is planted
or from any other ource o~btainable
No one will deny but that stone and
brick walls absorb a large quantity OF
rainfall, more especially brick. The
vine to obtain a certain amount oil
vitality naturally, absorbs the moisture
from the walls of brick or stone, and ]
have yet to learn of any room in any
house becoming damp by the growth OF
the vine on the outside. The very OPP
posite must be the result. woulc
suggest that no property holder need
be afraid to plant the above named
creeper on his or her building, for be
assured the interior of the house will
be drier With the ivy than without.

a typical cast. "In a hospital at

had had a penny given to him to play
with, and the poor little wretch held
out his hand to every visitor with the

Just a ha-porth of gin 1t was his one

DAY.
is OBSERVED.
Pleasing Exercises in the MethO-
dist Church Yesterday
Old Folk Attend.

Yesterday was "Autumnal," or "Old
Folk Day. in the Methodist church. The
services were of an unusually interesting
character. The church was appropriately
decorated with fruits, vegetables, ferns,
flowers and autumn leaves. TIL display
was tasteful and pretty, and the effect
produced was especially pleasing.
Formerly the day has been observed ex-
clusively as a thanksgiving service at the
close of the season of gathering the har-
vest, but this year, while that idea was
not forgotten, : a fuller and broader
significance was given to the occasion.
1t included q recognition of the valuable
services rendered to the church by the
aged veterans who have toiled and sacrl-
ficed to lay the foundation upon which
the church is building today. The labors
of these worthless are done, and well done,
and now that by reason Of age, they are
laid aside the church, wisely and loving
ly has dedicated the day to paying honor
to the aged ministers. and the collections
taken are devoted to their welfare and
comfort. s,As..
The pastor, Rev. Charles B. Ogden
planned the progfam for the day. In the
morning AN appropriate sermon was de-
livered u Min thel Sheme, Reverence and
Care for the Aged" Special music was
rendered by the choir. To this service
the aged members were especially invited,
and carriages provided for those who
were unable to walk. Pretty bouquets
were tastefully arranged, with the name
and suitable Inscriptions attached to each.
and presented to eighteen or more of the
church's Oldest members, a small token
of kindness that which they highly es-
teemed.
In the evening a large congregation at
tended to enjoy the closing service. The
program was introduced by a selection
from ''songs for Christian Service" fol-
lowed by reading of scripture and prayer.
The choir rendered an anthem very eff
fectively. Miss Nellie Mason gave a read
ing in excellent taste and skill. Mira
DERRICK aud Harold Hoffman both recited
nicely. ''Green Old Age" was very eff
fectively and skillfully rendered by Miss
Barber. Both in voice and manner this
talented lady did credit to the church and
, herself. "a Pleasant Journey" was ex-
cellently rendered by Mrs. Rogers. Two
beautiful color drawings illustrating the
underlying thought of the day, rested on
an easel in full view of the congregation.
To these the pastor briefly referred, point
ing out the lessons they were designed to
teach. The days services were eminently
euccneaeful and 1oubtlecc will ract1lt in
great good to the cause of caring for,
and honoring, the churches worn out
preachers.
