CLASS IS CONFIRMED
Bishop Morrison Pays Annual Visit
to St. James Church.

The Right Rev. r. N. Morrison,
Bishop of the Iowa Diocese Episcopal
church. paid his annual visit 10 st.
James Parish on Sunday. A large
class was presented for confirmation
by the rector. Rev. w. p. Williams,
and the services were witnessed by
an unusually large congregation. The
members of the class were, Mrs. B..
G.. Williams, Mrs. NJ. J. Cruzen, Mrs.
Eta Davis, Mrs. S. b. Jones, Miss
Barbara Drinkle, Miss Rhea Wilson,
of Abba. Miss Eline Martin, Miss
Gretchen Budd, Miss Margaret Lew
is, Miss Hazel Lichtenheld, Miss
Gracia Williams, Mr.. Delos Davis and
Mr.. Philip Ellsworth.
Following the ceremonies, the Bish-
op made a brief and excellent address
to the class. The dominent idea
was, that while they had been &C.
cepted into the full membership of
the church and recognized as firm in
the faith they were only beginning
the true Christian life. 1t is human
TO make mistakes and all church
members often fall into error, but
each succeeding victory over sin or
error makes them stronger and less
likely to mistake again. There must
be growth In Christian life else there
will be decay.
The music for the service was fur
nished by the vester choir accompsn-
led by Mrs. Marshall on the pipe or
gan. Miss Helen Kalhach sang a solo
and was accompanied ON the violin
by her sister, Mrs, Annette Valentine
OF Centeryille. The number was
sweetly rendered and enjoyed by all.

SUNDAYS FINE RAIN
Covered Most of the County and
Will do Lots of Good.

The fates seem to be against the
county farm. While it rained in near
ly all parts of the county Sunday af-
ternoon and night, no water fell at
the farm, and the garden truck and
corn remains thirsty. 1t has not rain
ed in this immediate vicinity for four
weeks.
But over northwest in the Leighton
and Peoria neighborhoods the farm
ers generally are wearing the smile
that wont come off. 1t rained hard,
and while it stormed some and blew
the corn down little, no serious or
permanent damage has been reported.
people there figure that the rain will
save the potato and berry crop.
Over in the Lacey neighborhood,
the rain was also welcome visitor.
NJ. s. Downey reports that a little
corn was blown over, but it will
straighten up again. The rain was
soaker and will do lots of good.
The Rose Hill neighborhood seems
to have gotten a little more wind and
lightning than other sections, but no
serious damage has been reported.
Several trees were blown down, or
stripped of big limbs. Some hail fell
also that did some damage to corn.
South and east they also had
good rain, but not so much as in the
northwest part of the county. Neill
Mccartney, on the Fremont road, says
1t was a fine rain and will do lots of
good.
Here in town about half an inch of
rain fell, and a welcome change of
about fifteen degrees In temperature
followed There was considerable
lightning and a little wind, but no
damage resulted.

Indian Killed at Bellemont

A Mohave Indian named Ele- mer Mike, who had been working with the double track gang, was run over Sunday morning near Bellemont and literally cut to pieces. He was found later by one of the early trains and brought to Flagstaff. A coroner's inquest was held Sunday. They rendered verdict of accidental death.
 There was considerably diff culty in identifying the Indian. None of the Indians who happened 10 be in this vicinity knew him, but he was eventually identified by Claim Agent Morris who found his name in bis hat with his ad- dress, which was given as Mohave, Ariz. While there was no evi- dence to the effect, it was appar- ent that the Indian had secured whiskey somewhere and lay down on the track while drunk.

 RUN ROAD SOUTH
Strenuous Effort Being Made to Turn National Highway South Through Desert Would Cut Out Great
 est Wonders of West

Paul Burks, attorney, who has returned from Phoenix, states that it is the general opinion in auto- mobile circles that the itinerary of the National Automobile club, which leaves New York City in October for the Pacific coast will be over the southern Arizona route instead of through Albuquerque, Flagstaff and Prescott. This change is believed to have been announced on account of the road conditions in eastern Arizona, and while not yet officially authorized may be followed out unless im- mediate work is inaugurated on the highways.
 MT. Westgard, secretary of the eastern association, is said to be favorably impressed with the idea of passing through the northern portion of this territory, on ac- count of its interesting and mar vicious historical and scenic at- fractions. He is appreciative of the alluring environments, but being the scout of the association, after making two trips through the country, is naturally solicitous for the welfare of his party and will accordingly select the most desirable route for the great trans continental journey.
 From information at hand it is believed that the Northern Ari- zona route will be available when the party reaches the diverging point in Apache county. Busi- ness men of Albuquerque, Gallup, Winslow, Flagstaff and Prescott, with those of Phoenix are to take immediate action for the repairing of the roadway and it is believed this large body of representative tourists can be brought through this section. At present the gov ernment is building a magnificent road through the Navajo reserva- ton, and by.October Ist it will be open. From east to west in Northern Arizona lively interest is prevailing to have permanent transcontinental highway availa- ble. Prescott Journal Miner.

No Sum mer Dullness in Los An.
 geles Business Circles

The Los Angeles Times is the wonder of the world in newspaper dom. Year after year this news paper continues to lead its local and foreign contemporaries in the volume of advertising printed, be- sides publishing the biggest, newsiest, sturdiest and steadiest newspaper on earth.
 July invariably shows a slump in business in the east. Los An geles merchants, however, always aggressive and alert, buy new goods every month in the year, and quickly turn them into cash by using the advertising columns of The Times.
 Despite all opposition, and by reason of its large and increasing circulation, the absence from its columns of cant and hypocrisy and its steadfast refusal to accept questionable advertisements, The Times regularly leads the worlds s greatest newspapers in volume of advertising printed.
 The following figures, showing July advertising in The Times for the past four years, evidence a gain of nearly 30 per cent:
