ROBT. J. BURDETTE
FORCED TO RETIRE

LOS ANGELES, Aug 20.-The trustees
of the Temple Baptist church have ac-
cepted the resignation of Rev. Robert J..
Burdette, preacher, humorist and jour
nalist. When the question of mis- resig-
nation came up, there was strong oppo-
sition to 1t, many of the trustees prefer
ring to give their pastor an unlimited va
cation in the hope that his health would
recover sufficiently to permit him to re-
turn to the pulpit. But letter from the
pastor put an end to the discussion. 1t is
known among his friends that DR.. Bur-
dette will never recover from the present
illness. He probably will live for many
years, but his health is permanently bro
ken. He is resting at his summer home
at the beach and has to wear a heavy
plaster cast to support his back, which
was injured last winter in a fall.

A GOLDEN JUBILEE.

gala day was that recently cele-
brated at the mills of the Plymouth
Cordage Company, Plymouth, Mass, on
the occasion of the completion of fifty
years of service of it's honored treas
urer and general manager, Mr.. Gideon
F. Holmes. Special trains brought
guests from Boston and the entire coun-
tryside of this historical locality swelled
the numbers.
The upper floor of the new No. mill.
measuring 49S feet long by ia feet
wide, was the scene of a notable gath
ering of thousands of employees, stock
holders and invited guests. Here a
generous collation. was spread, speeches
were made and gifts of appreciation pre-
was sketched the history of this, the
greatest cordage industry in the world,
which has grown from an output of
3,750,000 pounds in 1859, when Mr..
Holmes first entered its employ, to
90,000,000 pounds during the past year.
Today over 1900 employees each do their
share in turning out a grade of prod
uct that has always been the pride of
the company and deemed worthy to bear
the name plymouth" that historically
stands in every mind for honesty and
quality. No longer as in the old rope
walk of the days of Longfellow do
Human spiders spin and spin
Backward down the threads so thin
Dropping each a hempen bulk"
No longer does the wheel go round
and round
with a drowsy dreamy sound,
And the spinners backward CO."
Today all is hustle and hustle, mid
whirling SpindleS and bobbinS that spin
and wind the yarn and twine and mas
sive machines that more slowly twist the
strands into heavy rope and massive
cable. And we'll it must be if nearly
eleven million miles of yarn are to be
many people as are now employed and
less than single working day to more
than circle the earth.
To produce all this by hand as in the
days before Mr.. Holmes began his SER
vice would have required five times as
many people as are now meployed and a
ground space of over one hundred and
fifty acres Great though the present
plant, is. such enormous area has not
been necessary, for modern machinery
has made possible concentration and
economy in manufacturing and reduc-
ton in cost.

FERROUS mission.
But what was it's mission! What the
contents of this case?
Well, the case contained Genasco
Ready Roofing, on an expedition to
sample the nations of the earth
This illustrates the great field that it's
makers have dared to anticipate for
this wonderful roofing made of Trinidad
Lake Asphalt. And the field is big be-
cause Genasco is adapted to roofs in
every part Of the world. 1t is not
affected by extremes of temperature nor
sudden changes, ands it therefore doesn't
crack, break or rot, or leak. Genasco
is made by the Barber Asphalt Paving
Company, Philadelphia, whose more than
a quarter of century's experience with
Trinidad Lake Asphalt the weather
resister from which Genasco is made, is
sufficient guarantee that the roofing
lasts, yet this company strengthens it
with a written guarantee, and throws
the weight of it's thirty-two million
dollar organization against it,.

tendency among farmers to use CONNER

of more economical and therefore more

Many others of the firm made re-

CLEMINSON'S SOUL MATE
Miss Anna Kolb on Witness Stand
for the State in the Sensational
Murder Trial.

Chicago, Nov. 1s.-Interest at the trial
of DR.. Haldane Cleminson, charged with
the murder of his wife, was raised to
high pitch today when Miss Anna Kolb,
one Of the principal witnesses for the
state. was called.
Miss Kolb testified that she first met
the doctor when he called on a profess
sicnal visit in May, 1909; that following
the death of Mrs. Cleminson she met
the doctor at the police station, and that
he said to her;
THE least you say about this, the
better"
Attorney Northrop handed the wit
ness a typewriter paper, which she
identified as statement she had made
to Police Captain Kane
Did you not say in this statement
that you told a Mrs. Raymond that DR..
CleminsOn had been living with you for
some timer" asked NorthrOp.
YES" replied the witness.
did you say that once you visited
DR.. CleminsOn and ne was feeling blue
He said on that occasion that he was
afraid his wife's people would find out
that he was living with other women,
and that he also said to you that he did
not want to lose her, as she had money,
and didn't you say to him then: Why
don't you chlorofOrm her?'"
The witness hesitated before answer
ing, as though uncertain what to say,
and then replied excitedly:
mo, no: it's a lie"

Churchill and his wife had just arrived

escaped falling from the platform to the
tracks below.
A moment later. as the police seized
the woman, she pointed scornfully at
