A Word to the Christian People of
Paw Paw.

Dear Friends:
How much do you care about the sal
vation of our city? All over the country
we are hearing of wonderful revivals
these days. Thousands have been turned
to God. ln many instances "Biily"
Sunday, ex. ball player, has seen whole
towns turned to Him. Ia little city in
Iowa recently, in three weeks over 600
gave their hearts to God. Shall we here
IN Paw Paw share in the feastY We may
If 1Oe UM. Gods hand is not shorteped
that it cannot save, neither his ear heavy
that il cannot hear" lisa. 59:l.) WHAT.
then, are the conditions for receiving
this blessing that we so much stand in
need OFF Wherever these manifesto
tions of Gods power have been felt it
has been in response to the fervent, be-
lIeving, united prayer, and earnest, uni
ted effort of his children. Are yOu
ready TO comply wih these conditions?
This is a test of your sincerity.
March s, Enslow Bros, revivalsts of
Chicago, are expected here to begin a
campaign for the salvation of souls.
These "Fishers of Men" have been used
of God to turn thousands to Him this
winter in Nebraska. They can do as
great a work here as elsewhere, if they
have the support of the christian people.
Watch for the adv. of the meetings in
next weeks issue, also see the cards in
the windows and elsewhere.
See in another column of this issue
the announcements of the special prayer
meetings next Tuesday evening. Attend
the one nearest your home and take
part therein, or, better still, If you live
at some distance from all, open your own
home and invite your friends and neigh
bors in to pray with you for the sa va
ton OF the lost.
Brother, / care not what your deDom-
national name may be, BAPTIST, Metho-
dist, Christian, Presby terian or what
not, If you are follower of Jesus then
this is your cause, your work, your re-
sponsioility, your business as much as
it is anyones. Will you not so consider
it and get into the battieY Let US make
this the greatest time of soul winning
we have ever known; let US lay aside all
prejudice and work to this end; let US
forget for the time being, whether we be
Baptists, Methodists, Presby Dis
ciples, and remember only that we are
children of one Common Father and dis
ciples OF one Lord. going to one heaven
with no division fences in it, and let US
JOIN heart and hand in this effort to get
souls saved; let US enlist in crusade OF
prayer, besiegiug the throne Of grace
for Paw Paw. Pray daily, prav for the
self-satistied careless, easy-going church
member, that they may be aroused to
sense of their duty and responsibility;
pray for the Indifferent unsaved ones
who need the Savior and realize it not;
pray for the workers that they may be
filed with the power of God. Ask God
for great things and believe. See Jer.

JAPAN PLANS BIG
WELCOME TO FLEET

TOXIC, Sept. 16.-Drawn up in bat
tie array. their big guns in instant
readiness to belch forth death and de-
struction, the warships of Japan will
assemble just a month from today TO
welcome the American fleet. AS the
great vessels floating the stars and
stripes steam into Yokohama harbor
the following day, every ship in the
long battle line of Nippons navy will
boom forth thunderous salute. But
no shells will shrek across the water,
and the booming of the Japanese guns
will carry a message of friendship in
stead of marking the unleashing of the
dogs of war;
Offieials of the Japanese navy de-
partment declare that the spectacle of
the mighty fleet from the west being
welcomed by the greatest fleet ever
assembled in the east, will be the most
remarkable naval display, in time Of
peace that the world has ever known.
All of the ships of the Japanese ma
Wy are now gathering at the various
stations for maneuvers, the most elab-
crate and intricate ever undertaken in
the Orient, and the welcome to the
American fleet will come as the climax
of the months naval activities.
Practically all of the important YES
sells in the mikado's navy will take part
in the maneuvers and the subsequent
welcome to the American fleet.

Suspected Mi|kman Says His
Cows Can't Digest Tin Cans

Because one of his bovines was af-
f1icted with indigestion and could not
readily assimilate tin cans, old shoes
and rubber boots thrown in the past
ure, Clifford Conklin last night pre-
scented a petition to the, city council,
asking damages in the sum of $50. Mr..
COnklin has been renting of the city
the tract of ground known as the IsaacS
pasture above the city, and says that
the city has been using it as a dump
ing ground, without fencing to keep
the cattle off the rubbish heaps.
The petition read last night, as fol-
lows. was referred to the water COM
mttee:
"To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council: Your petitioner respectfully
shows that he has leased from the
water department of the city of Wal
la Walla what is known as the Isaacs
pasture, for which have paid this year
rental of $50. For some time past
the city has been using the pasture for
dumping ground for rubbish and
trash without fencing the same to keep
my cattle from grazing near the rub
bish. About "a year ago one of my
COWS died from the effect of eating
some of the, rubbish, and since that
time 1 have experienced much trouble

which will be awakened by the great
occasion many of the improvements
in contemplation will be set on foot and
in due season finished. The practical
character of the celebration is the
feature that will arrest attention. The
millions that will be expended for sub
stantfal and useful monuments of the
country's wealth and progress will ac-
complsh more for Mexico than the dis
play of it's industries in national ex-
position.
The plan was suggested by President

adopted it as a feature Of the celebra-
ton. The federal government VIII

The celebration is intended to usher

a preparation for the future as well as
a memorial of the past.

Members of the council were unable
to appreciate the seriousness Of the
situation, and one of them remarked
that if cows We're allowed to become
hungry enough to eat tin cans and old
buckets, they should not be prevented
from so doing.
But another question has arisen. Mr..
COnklin was arrested some time ago
on a charge of having sold milk con-
tanning fOrmaldehyde, and was placed
under $500 bonds. Now the health au-
thorities are wondering whether, I'm

the matter, and it was intimated last
night that the lease with Mr.. Conklin'
will likely be forfeited.

trips over the city. Whether this will
be done by means of carriages and au-
tos or by street cars, has not been de-

Councilman Hull opposed the change
and was alone in his vote against it.
