DIPLOMAS TO BE GIVEN
Convention To Be Held At Ger
man Evangelical Church, and
Pastors Will Suspend
Mid-week Meetings.

The annual convention of the
Center Township Sunday School
Association will be held III this city
Wednesday afternoon and evening,
January 81, at the German Evan
gelical church.
The association is composed of the
twelve schools of the township.
The purpose of the convention is to
afford an opportunity for all the
schools to come together and iscuss
the mutual work of the Sunday
School; to hear reports, papers and
addresses and to have the work of
various departments exemplifed by
teaching.
The session will be gin at 40 In
the afternoon. County president o.
S. Ellis will be present. The Grad
ed Union will give a demonstration
of their teaching methods, and at
right there will be a graduation of
between thirty and forty from the
training classes. from various parts
of the township by the superintend-
ent of the teacher training depart
ments. with awarding of dimplomas.
There will also be a lecture in the
evening by a speaker of prominence
from distance.
The township convention has its
important place. It gets closer to
the individual school than does the
larger county organization. It is the
feeder to the county association. Its
meeting next wednesday is a prelude
to the coming county convention, and
it will arouse an enthusiasm for the
larger county convention soon to fol-
low. 1t is therefore hoped that each
school of Center township will be
largely represented. A program has
been prepared that it is hoped will
be benefit to each of the schools.
The sessions will be held in the
Methodist church, beginning st 100
in the afternoon. with a public add
dress in the evening.
The convention will be held on
Wednesday night, and the pastors
of the various churches have con-
scented to suspend their mid-week
meetings and unite in a union SER
vice in behalf of the Sunday schools
Let all schools in the township
take notice next Sunday of the con.
vention and send delegates, and al.
so to come in as large numbers as
possible. Sunday school people out
side the township are cordially invit.

AGREE ON SUGAR TARIFF
Terms of Revision Bill Are
Practically Decided.
Present Duty of $1.68 a Hundred on
Raw Sugar Reduced to ST.
Cuba's Special Rate.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The terms Of
the sugar tariff revision bill that is
to be reported to the house by the
Democratic committee on ways and
means practically have been agreed
upon.
The measure will be taken up after
the passage of the bill proposing a re-
vision of the iron, steel and chemical
schedules.
If present plans are carried out, the
sugar revision bill will impose a duty
of ST a hundred pounds on the raw
product, instead of $1.6S, as at pres
ent The reduction will be greater
than appears on the surface. Under
the reciprocal trade agreement with
Cuba sugar imports from the island
are admitted at rate 90 per cent low
er than that imposed on the product
coming from other countries. AS NEST
of the raw sugar brought to this coun-
try comes from Cuba, the Democratic

Too Many Rats.

From every quarter comes the COM
plant of an unusual number Of rats,
and the damage these rodents incur
Logansport is said to be alive with
them, the papers in that city having
rat stories under big head lines. We
hear of their increasing numbers and
on the farms in this vicinity, says
the Rochester Republican. An
authority says the cause for the
great increase of rat population is
due to the long siege of wet weather
more than any other cause. There
should be campaign waged against
these pests in every community to
prevent their depredations. Some
cities, under official orders, appoint
"rat day." when almost the entire
citizenship wage war Of externina-
ton by all known methods, to rid
life of these destructive little ami
mails. Allowed to multiply without
restraint they soon become not only
a nuisance about property, but a
menace to health.-Northern India

ing home the matter was forgotten
by himself, and the thirty days of
grace ended January 10Th at noon.

WHAT HAS BEEN DONE
Concise Story of Advancement Made
By Well-Known City of the
Great and Progressive
West.

Special to the Republican
DesMoines has profted by her
change to commission form of gov
eminent.
During the last eight years under
the old plan of government the
maximums tax levy in Des MONIES
for city purposes was 400 mills,
and the minimum 1873 mills, and the
average 1874 mills. During the three
wears under Commission Government
the maximum levy was 81, the
minimum 1874 and the average 1868.
The Des MONIES tax levy is by
law assessed against % per cent Of
the presumably full value of tax
able property, the levy for munich
pal purposes that the city council
has to do with, does not include
schools or county Therefore when
we show Des Moines' levy for NUM-
cipal purposes only, to be 81 mills
on the dollar, it really amounts to
but one-fourth that amount, or less
than one per cent. To be specific
9.25 mills.
The decreased showing is of great
Importance when it Is known that
under the old regime constant
deficit for current expenses was In
Cured, amounting In the aggregate
to the proceeds of a one mill levy
annually, while during the three
wears of commission rule the city
has lived practically within its IN
come for current expenses, and
further that there was included In
the budget, by direction of the vot.
ers and the legislature additional
expenditures for new City Hall, fol
a new viaduct right of way, and 8
fireman's pension fund amounting il
all to 81 mills annually.
Nothing is more fallacious, thar
to assume that a comparison OF
city's tax-levy, or its bonded in
debtedness, is an indication Of eff
cheney or inefficency, extravaganza o.
economy. The real test is whethe,
the money received has been ex

Saturday Services.

Saturday opened up with a large

over Sunday. The usual program of
services was followed with preaching
at the morning service by Rev. E. A.

from John 12:35-43. In illustrations
and the vivid delineatiOns of the
characteristics of human nature, Mr.
Williams is without a peer as an
eVangelistic speaker. His descrip-
tive powers and the portrayal of the
results reached by the natural pas
sion of man hold the closest atten-
ton of his audience and many are
thrilled by his utterances. At the
close the altar was filled with seek

the meeting closed. Rev. Williams

the Holiness movement and his
time is pledged for months ahead for

Holiness Camp Meeting
JOINT CONVENTION OF NATIONAL AND STATE ASSOCIA
AT UNIVERSITY PARK.

Services at the Holiness camp
meeting commenced promptly on
Sunday morning with the early six
o'clock prayer service. This was
followed by an old fashioned Love
Feast at $3.50. In the public service
of the morning, DIR. Chas. J. Fowler
preached on the subject of "Tempta-
tion," from the text as found in He
brews 2:1S. During the morning
another Offering was taken for the
benefit of the work and 81, 100000 was
raised. This was in addition to
81 $500 which was raised on Thurs
day and the various pan collections
taken during the camp have reached
about $4,000. So that still more is
needed to reach the 100000 wanted
by the National and State Associa-
tions for their work.
At the afternoon service on Sunday
a large crowd was present and Prof.
A. l.. Whitcomb preached from ST.
John 1929. 1t was announced at
this service that a"Hallelujah March
was to take place at the evening ser.
vice and as this would undoubtedly
prove interesting to many, the even
ing service was largely attended. In
fact it was perhaps the largest OF
the whole camp and probably over
1000 people were present. The
"Hallelujah March" was a novel sight
to many when section after section
of the audience came from their
places, marched around the taber
nacle, passed in front of the platform
and made their free will Offering
and returned to their seats. During
the whole march, singing was in or
der and several of their enthusiastic
songs were sung. 1t was a fine sight
to see over $50 young people and stu
dents on the platform and the enjoy
able music was a feature of the ser
vice. The closing sermon of the
camp was delivered by Rev. E. A
Fergerson and will long be remem
bered. The usual altar service was
held afterward and the meeting did
not close until late hour.
