SUNDAY At THE
BAP T|ST CHURCH
ANNIVERSARY OF THE PASTOR
ATE OF REV. MASTERS OBJ
SERVED YESTERDAY MORNING.

The anniversary services at the
Broadway Baptist church yesterday
were well attended Notwithstanding
the inclement weather, and those pres
ent were amply repaid for Drawing the
elements in order TO come.
The program as prepared was car
ried out with the exception of two
numbers that had to be omitted from
the fact that DR.. ]. F. Young and Rev.
w. r. Selvidge were unavoidably pre-
vented from being present. Special
music was rendered by the choir, ad-
dresses were given by the pastor, g..
p. Selvidge, Miss Daisy Nichols, and
Prof C. w. Richards.
Miss Nichols subject was the
Church's Greatest Asset, and in her
usual forceful way she recounted the
great necessity Of getting the young
people interested in church work, as
they were in fact the church's great
est asset and one upon which it had
greatly to depend for the future.
Prof. Richards subject was "Our
Present and Future and he stated
that the hardest thing in the world
to do was to find the real work suit
ed to individuals and institutions. He
said that great men were sometimes
lost to the worlds usefulness be
cause they failed to find their proper
sphere.
In speaking of ideals he said that
a man Of small ideals was invariably
a small man; that no one could or
would rise above the standard set by
themselves.
Rev. Masters told Of a plan to
strengthen our weak points in the
church and in telling it he told some
pointed truths to non-church going
members Of the Broadway Baptist
church. Rev. Masters stated that
the church membership rolls showed
at present something over 400 names,
hut of that number about $50 were
active in the work. He stated that
this would be changed during the com
ing year and all who claimed to be
members of the Broadway Baptist
church had to do something or he
would know the reason why. He
stated that the time had arrived in
the history of the church when every
one whose name appeared on the
church roll was expected to do some
thing toward the upbuilding Of the
church and above all to grace the
church trtener by their presence
from the tenor of his remarks it
was easily discerned that there would
be something radical take place in the
future unless the members were more
loyal to their church and attended ser
vices oftener in the future.
The Sunday school o; the Broadway
Baptist church is in a hourishing
condition and the annual report sub
mtted yesterday shows a satisfac-
tory state of affairs. The records for
the past year show an average at
tendance of 295 out of an enrolment
of 574.
The teachers for the ensuing year
have been assigned, and The school is
thoroughly graded according to the
age plan.

to get out the young people to Sunday
school during the coming year sug-

Printing the Truth.

(Great Bend, Kansas, Tribune }
Some readers now and then
object to the way a newspaper is
run, saying that all the news is
not printed. If all the news
were printed here is a sample of
how it might appear:
Church ws-There is consid-
cradle comment because j. P.
Jimpson gave only $40 for the
pastors salary this year. AS he
escapes taxation on two-thirds of
his property by fooling the as
SCISSOR, he should have given
much more.
Society-Mrs. Eighty enter
tanned the Swiss Club Wednes-
day afternoon. She has soaked
her piano, but expects to redeem
it when Izzant draws his salary
next month.
Personal-D. Beat returned to
Great Bend with his family to-
day, after an absence of over
three years, he could have re-
turned sooner, as the accounts
were outlawed in January.
Personal-D. T. Grab b is

won his case against the Indians
and has taken possession of their

Just Editorially Observed.

Pride is seldom found trailing
slong after a fall.
The slumbers of political bed
fellows are apt to be fitful,
Those who jump at conclusions
are apt to land on spikes.
A pair of epaulets will otter
unbalance promising head.
Greatness and genius are not
always found under the same
hat.
Failure sometimes results from
letting ones best foot drag in
stead of putting it forward.
When a man says, "I'll think
it over" !" it may be a sign that
he proposes to forget it.
Matrimony will not always re-

him more cautious.

Cooperation by Education.

Boys in the high school at Nc
Comb City, Miss; earn from SIP
to $18 month regularly while
attending school. A plan of CO.
operation has been drawn up be-
tween the high school and the
Illinois Central railroad, where
by the boys attend school one
day and work in the railroad
shops the next, according to in
formation received at the United
States bureau of education. The
student apprentices, as they
are called, are paid for their
work in the shops, the minimum
wage being twelve cents an hour.
After four years of combined
high school attendance and shop
work the boy is prepared to en-
ter college or draw a mans salary
at his trade.
Railroad and school authorities
both agree that the plan works
we'll. The railroad official in
charge of the boys said: After
actual tests it is shown that the
plan of cooperation between the
Illinois Central railroad shops
and the McComb city high school
is not only feasible, but that it
is working out in a manner en-
tirely satisfactory, | believe it
to be for the best interest of the
railroad company to fill all va
cancies in the apprenticeship sys-
tenn as far as possible. with CO.
operative apprentices"
Superintendent Hughes of the
school system is equally enthusi-
astic over the results from the
schools point of view. He be-
lieves the plan offers one solu-
tion of the problem of keeping
boys in school; that it fosters
boys spirit of independence, and
satisfies his commendable ambi-
tion to get into the game of life.
The McComb plan is another
indication of the strength of the
movement for systematic voca-
tional education in connection
with the public schools. 1t is
noteworthy in that it does not
loose sight of the need for con-
tinued cultural training for the
boy who may want to earn his
living in the shops.

It's War to the Death.

Swat the fly
Hit it on the head or in the eye.
If you do not like the stain
That may reflect upon your name
By giving body pain;
Swat the rascals in the shell.
Surely none can ever tell
What calamity upon it fell.
Keep on swatting day and night,
Every time there's one in sight.
This is everbody's fight.
What swarm of flies there'd be
Could each one be ''Methuselee,
In point of years! Deliver me!
Now let us form great crusade,
And into the enemies country wade,
And never sheathe our CORY blade
While there's fly
To bat it's eye.

WHAT WILL HELP
BUSINESS INTERESTS
BY HON. O. L. OWEN, CoPoRA.
TION Com. OF New MEXICO.

This is question that is puz-
zling the minds of many of the
citizens of the new states of Ari-
zona and New Mexico. 1t goes
without saying, development, in
no matter what line of industry,
adds to the business of a local
merchant in that particular loca-
lity. This being true, it is of
great Importance to local mer-
chant to foster and encourage in
every way he can the particular
industry or industries that add
to the development of his COM
munity.
In New Mexico we have per-
haps as great a variety of indus
tries as any state in the west,
while but few of them are of
sufficient size and character to
be of particular interest outside
of their imr hate locality, and
add to the y 9TH of the by-pro-
duction of commerce which ex-
tends into other states and brings
a return of revenue to the pro-
ducer and those with whom he
has to deal within the state.
1t is only when the outbound
trade exceeds the inbound that
the wealth of a state as a whole
will increase. 1t is therefore
the business of the local mer-
chant to encourage home produc-
ton of the merchandise that he
can use in his particular line of
trade; that is to say if, farm pro-
ducts are raised in his community
it is the merchants business to
see the farmer gets a reasonable
market for same, rather than
ship in the same goods from the
outside states and sell to the con-
sumer at a much higher cost
than the home product. This
same rule can be applied to al
most every line of industry, and
in this connection it should
be the business of the transpor-
tation companies to afford trans
portation facilities to the produr
cling districts at rates sufficient
ly reaonable to permit the mar
keting of such products at the
market centers.
The State Corporation Com
missions is directing it's inquiry
into these matters, and, wher-
ever it appears that present con-
ditions are not favorable, the
transportation companies are be-
ing asked to meet the condition
by establishing more reasonable
rates to encourage the produc-
ton along the various lines of
trade in order to make such pro-
duction profitable to that COM
munity. 1t is the business of
the merchant to look into these
conditions and give to the COM
missions information and assis-
tance in these matters, looking
to some suitable adjustment of
same and thereby stimulate his
own interests as we'll as that of
his community.
The commissions have already
caused numerous adjustments to
same and thereby stimulate his
own interests as well as that of
his cimmunity.
The Commissions have already
caused numerous adjustments to
be made along these lines, and
it's constant purpose is to remedy
these conditions, where unreas-
sonableness exists. Southwest

Anew Reasons Why Senate Joint Reso-

10 be magnificent institution; fourth.
a medical department, located at Aus
tin, though the college at Galveston
fully satisfies the needs in that line.
In statement issued by President
Mezes of the State University he says
we do not want to take A. and NJ.
from College Station, C. |. A. from
Denton, the medical college from Gal
weston or destroy the state normals,
the amendments will be a benefit to
all Of these" President Mezes is. no
doubt, much wiser and more learned
gentleman than the editor of a little
county newspaper, but it seems very
clear to us that after the legislature
makes appropriations sufficient to
build all these additions to the Uni
versity, Old Mother Hubbard's Cup
board will be amply supplied as COM
pared to the condition of the state
treasury, and where will the other
schools come in then?
Vote the amendment down. Let the
State University stick to its own field,
and let the people demand sufficient
funds for the maintenance of the other
institutions we already haye.-From

pass this boy and girl unheeded. The
Onlooker feels that he is one Of the
