Aviation Meet In Evansville.
June 9th And 10th.

A great Aviation Meet will be
held in Evansville Friday and
Saturday June 9th and 10th.
At that time two of the most
famous of the Curtis School Of
Aviators will come to give dem
onstrations of what the up to-the
minute birdmen have done to-
ward the complete conquest of
the air, and to entertain thou
sands of spectators with exhib-
itions of fancy flying and at
tempts at altitude records.
Interest will undoubtedly CEN
ter in the altitude fights, which
will be made by the Aviators and
should the air currents be favor
able it is expected that some
very high flights will be made
and possibly record smashing
events take place. The Curtis
School of Aviators have estab-
lished themselves thoroughly in
the world of Aviation as men of
fearless ability and they have
been recognized as especially alb
lie to accomplish altitude flights.
A feature of exceptional int
crest will be bomb dropping con-
tests between the aviators.
Competition among the aviators
for scores in this contest, will, of
course, be keen, and the public

Holiness is power. 1t utilities

energies the whole man. 1t is
the fire and water in the engine,
bringing out their fullest capaci-
ty the strength of all the parts
of the machinery, so that the
greatest amount of spiritual
power may be expended in roll
ing back a revolted world to God.
Holiness is Gods power with
man, and mans power with
God. Thus they become CO.
workers. Every man who dwell
eth in God, and God in him, in
an accommodated sense is Gods
man, which makes him a posi-
tive power against all evil and
for all good-to pluck careless
souls from the incoming food
and storm of wrath, lifting them
up into the sweet serenity and
protection Of the Rock of Ages.
Without holiness, we are weaker
than a bruised reed; with it, we
are like an impregnable and well
garrisoned fort. which will stand
unframed the hottest siege, at
the same time raining like a hail
storm red hot balls from the
magazine of the Gospel on an

The question is whether the to-

their fighting for fair prices.
There is only one way to fight.
And that way is not by organ

The tobacco growers have seen
the Stemming District Associat-
ion prove its efficacy.
In spite of individual CON-
plants that the management of
the associations affairs has not
been conducted as economically
as it should have been, no person
has ever come out in the open and
tried to prove the charge.
The fact is that this cooper
alive marketing organization has
handled the crops of the last few
years at a cost of two percent to
the growers.
Go to New York or Chicago
and consult the head of an up-to
the-minute business house. CIV
ing him all the particulars, and
you'll be told that the Stemming
District Tobacco Association is a
model in point of economical
management
Let US forget our little griev
ances and join in the biggest
fight ever conducted in this sect
ion for a fair price for any pro-
duct of the farm.
Let US also keep our mouths
closed in regard to the faults of
individuals connected with the
organization unless we have bet

lated by persons who do not
know what they are talking a

Let us keep our eyes on the

TOBACCO TIDINGS.
Some Suggestions
BY r. F. WHEELER.

He who cant forget his personal
grievances when his own well
fare and that of his community
are at stake is breathing, eating
and sleeping in the year 1911,
but he is not really living in the
twentieth century.
The person who lets a little
crouch keep him from doing
what is conceded to be the best
for himself and his neighbors is
like one whose view of the sun
can be cutoff by the wings of a
passing gnat.
The man with an eye on the
main chance. the man who does
not waver or hobble after, he
once sees an important duty, is
the one who wins.
The stemming district Tobacco
Association is making a fight for
its life. Ten thousand farmers
belonged to the association last
year, and it is said a larger men,
bership is already assured this
year.
In order to survive. the organ
ization must get close to fourteen
thousand members this year, and
it must include nearly all the
acreage.
A few persons are refusing to
join the association because they
object to having certain individ-
uals as members of the official
staff or as graders.
Probably they have reasons
for Directing to the election or
hiring of certain individuals
Their grievances keep them out
whether their grievances are real
or imaginary.
The management of the Stem
ing District Association is very
much like the government of a
city or county.
The association is a democratic
organization that is. it is self
covering.
And the person who takes the
broader view of that sort of sit
uation will not play the gutter
because he cannot have his own
way,
Suppose every yerson dissatis-
fed with the gov ernment should
give up his citizenship and leave
because the mayor or the council
does not suit him.
Suppose every owner of bank
stocks sold his holdings every
time a person he did not like be-
came a director of one of his in
situations.
If every fellow refused to play
because the rules of the game
did not suit him exactly the
whole country would 90 to the

KANSAS CITY TO SEE.
VIII Investigate the Supply of Natural
Gas.

Kansas City, July S.-One Of the first
steps to be taken by the public utilities
commission to determine whsthsar the, e
is any justification for an increase ir
the rate for natural gas will De t0 get
an expert survey of the conditions II
the gas fields. The commission opened
negotiations yesterday with PrJf. Eras-
mus Haworth head of the department
of mining and geology of the University
of Kansas, to undertake the iryestiga-
ton for the city. He will meet with
the commission the first of the week to
discuss plans.
In an open letter to the commission
Eugene Mackey, president Of the Kan
sas Natural Gas company, t0ld the pub
lie that an increase in the gas rate to
35 cents or so cents is necessary to
conserve the supply. Since this letter
has been printed as an advertisement,
letters have come to the commission
from persons throughout the gas ields,
saying that there are many wells with
strong flows of gas that are not used.
These wells, it is said, can be put to
use if the company will make fair
terms with the owners. This is a new
feature that the commission intends
to investigate.

SECOND CHILD DEAD.
Action May Be Taken to Find Out
Cause of Poisoning.

Paul Davis, II years old, one of the two
sons of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter B. Davis,
931 Kansas avenue, poisoned last Sunday,
died at 2 O'Clock this afternoon. He is the
second victim of poisoning supposed TO
have been caused by eating impure ice
cream.
What action, if any, will be taken by
the county authorities to determine the
cause of the poisoning has not been de-
cided definitely. The parents are loath
to have post-mortem examination held
and DR.. H. H. Keith, coroner, says that
at this late time it would be almost i'm
possible to reach a positive conclusion
whether the ice cream packages had to
do with the case. Medicine given the chill
dren would be still in the system but
whatever was the primary cause of the
poisoning. he says, probably has passed
away by this time.
Dr.. Keith declared that he would confer
with E. r. Simon, county attorney after
which time any steps that may be taken
can be arrived at with better understand
ing

Smallpox Epidemic on Eas
Side Is Alarming.
Mrs. David Grissenger Dies at
Detention Hospital.
TWO OTHERS ARELOW.
Feared That There viii Be
More Deaths.
Infected District Has Been
ROped Off.

Despite the fact that the city Off
cials arc smiling and insisting that
the smallpox scare on the East side
amount sto nothing, the residents of
portions of this section of Topeka are
terrorized and attempts have been
made to close some of the churches
tomorrow for fear that the disease
will be spread.
Added to this scare, one of the pa
tients who was first taken down with
the disease died early this morning.
Mrs Dave Grissenger, who lived at
1894 Lime street, and who was taken to
the city detention hospital, is the VIC
tim. She took down with the disease
several days ago and since her sick
ness from ten to fifteen families on
Lime and Lake streets between Tenth
and Sixth avenues have been quaran-
tined and houses have been roped off
from the public.
Katherine Smith, a C-year-old girl
of 1914 Lime street, and Claude
Branson of 1910 Lime street have
been taken to the city detention hos
pital and are in dangerous condition.
There had been one death before the
disease became prevalent.
When asked at the city board of
health today if everything was we'll on
the East side, the official in charge
answered.:
Yes, everyone is getting along in
me shape. None OF the cases is Sc
rious and the disease ic not spread
ing"
This is not the sentiment in big
part of the East side. Since the dis
ease has been travelling NORTH on Lime
and Lake streets and the smallpox cards
have been appearing on the doors the
people in some cases have becoma panic
stricken and walk in a round about
way to buy their groceries and go to
their daily labor
On Lime street, between Tenth and
Eleventh, the street has been roped of
but it is hardly necessary. Very few
people will go near the houses.
Rev. J. c. Everett, pastor IF the Third
Presbyterian church, said this after
noon that his church would noc be
closed tomorrow.
The trouble was aggravated by the
physicians who were called 20 attend
the early cases. They were reported
to the board of health as Iases Of
chickenpox and the necessary precau-
tions were consequently not taken.
