Coinf to Church.

Young man, young woman you

it makes no difference what you
believe about your soul or what
you think about your neighbor,
it makes no difference how busy
you are or how tired you are or
how bad you feel, you should &C.
casionly at least take a quiet
seat in the church to hear the
gospel preached. 1t is sure to
do you no harm, and it will likely
do you good, The best people in
any town as rule ttendchurch
and if you get the habit of going
you will be associated with good
people. True evil minded peO-
pie take front seat in the
church and act the hypocrite,
but that should not keep you
away. Try attending services
Sunday morning and see if it
doesn't make you feel better. -
Grand Saline Sun.
This is a good sermon in itself
and if more of our young people
would attend upon the church
ordinances, this world would be
much brighter, besides it would
lend encouragement and support
to the overworked pastor. Wins

This is a doubtful compliment.
1t would appear that the courts

Chicago, June 22.-Former
President Roosevelt was nomi-
mated on an independent ticket
tonight, in the dying hours of
the Republican National conven-

Followers of Colonel Roosevelt

What a Horse Power Means.

Very few people realize just
what horse power, as expressed
in enineering terms, really
means.
When it is stated that the
worlds largest Curtis steam tur-
bine, which drives an electric
generator in the Waterside Sta
ton, New York, develops 10000
horse power the meaning is
vague and incomprehensible.
Imagine this term reduced to
man power and almost anyone
can grasp it's full meaning. If it
takes twelve men to equal one
horse power, then this mammoth
turbine develops II times 10000
or the working energy Of 36O,0 900
men. If these men worked in
eight hour shifts each it would
require the services of 1850, 900
men every twenty four hours
to produce the working energy
of this single turbine unit.

Cold Patch Located on Suns Surface.

Pasenda. Cal. June PA cold
patch on the surface of the sun
is the description given sun
spot containing approximately
7S, $4,000 square mics, which
has just been discovered by the
astronomers at the Carnegie OBJ
servatory on Mount wilson.
The spot is 10000 miles in di-
ameter, and has been photographed
a number Of times yesterday and
today. 1t was discovered last
Thursday, and Prof. w. 5. Adams
Of the observatory staff, discus
sing the newly found spot, said:
"As far as we know these
spots are cooler than the other
parts of the suns surface. The
question of whether the sun is
growing hotter or cooler and the
effect the cooling Of the body
would have on the earth is still
debatoble.
1T would take us thousands
of years to ascertain whether
the sun is becoming cooler.
Ptof. Ferdinand Ellerman has
been put in charge Of the work
on the spot which is moving
westward.
THE arera Of the sun spot,
said Prof. EIlerman today, is
nearly ten times the size of North
America. Twenty five countries
of the size Of the United States
may be placed in it with plenty
of margin around the edges"

Judge Gordon Russell, Federal
Judge for the Northern District
Of Texas. is quoted by the Sher.
man Democrat as having said
from his bench at Sherman, in
the course of some remarks to a
group of boot leggers whom he
was sentencing to prison, that
his ten years experience as
District Attorney and District
Judge in East Texas led him to
the conviction from carefully
complied statistics that 10 per
cent of the crime in this country
is due to liquor. And even the
staunchest "Pussonal liberty
man in this State must confess
that Judge Russcll's estimate is
probably under rather than over
the mark. No sane person can
for a moment argue that whisky
is not a damnable compound OF
chemical villianes. 1t is Of no
value to society in any respect,
but is, on the contrary, a curse
