AN INTERESTING SERVICE

In response to a brief item in
the local papers of last week stating
that Rev. +. G. Gale, missionary
pastor at Nanchang, China, would
preach at the morning sevice in
the Methodist church, an audience
which filled every seat faced the
speaker when he rose to deliver
his discourse on Sunday morning.
A unique and pleasing feature of
the exercises was the singing of
verse of the opening hymn in the
Chinese language by the visiting
missionary. While the offering
was being taken DR.. Lee and Rev.
Gale sang a duet.
The speaker, who has spent
several years doing missionary
work in China and is pastor
of one of the largest institu-
tional churches in that country,
gave his hearers a brief history Of
what has been accomplished by the
various denominations in spread
ing the gospel in that ,far-otf land.
He stated that the growth Of Chris
tian sentiment in China during the
past five years has been remarka-
BILE and that the attendance at di-
vine services is increasing 80 rap.
idly that more and larger church
buildings and greater number of
workers are badly needed.

retary of Labor w. b. Wilson at
Washington appealing for aid
through some government channel
to obtain 1900 harvest hands need
ed in Oklahoma to help in gathering
the greatest wheat crop yet produc-
ed in that State.
1t was pointed out by Mr.. Daugh-
erty that work for this number of
men is assured in Oklahoma for a
period of four to six months, since
the alfalfa crop and other crops of
a forage nature will be so abund-
ant that an army of men can be
kept busy in the State until autumn
The enormous increase in the num-
ber of silos in Oklahoma means ad-
ditional labor in gathering feed
crops to fill silos.
That the situation is critical is in
dicated further in the action of Mr..
Daugherty in asking aid from all of
the immigration agents of railroads
operating in Oklahoma. Alsa he
has appealed to the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor to send men to Ok
lahoma, as wheat harvesting will
start in this State ahead of the same
work in Kansas. The first cutting
of oklahoma wheat will take place
in the southern tier of counties on
June 5. The northern counties will
be clamoring for harvest hands about
june 10.

over nearly every important highway

walked around the world, today occu-
pies a cell In the city jail, with his
faithful dog Dan" as companion.
Stanneck In the central and western
states Is best known as "Studebaker, y

Township Trustee Does Not
Believe Benefit From Lib
rary Warrants Any Addi-
tiOnal Burden.
MEMBER OF BOARD
Too Many People Require FL
nancial Aid From Taxation
to Assess Then Two Cents,
He Says.

The township library tax will not
prediction Of James Howarth, town.
ship trustee. who announced today
that he would strenuously oppose any
recommendation or attempts to in
crease from three to five cents the tax
on the library. He will oppose any
increas in taxes except for poor re-
lief, which may be raised from two
to four cents.
The reason he gives are that the
township can not derive enough bene-
fit from the library to warrant a raise
of tax; the public is already overbur-
dened under the present taxation sys-
tenn. In his daily work Mr.. Howarth
deals much with poor people, and he
finds that there are already too many
who require financial aid from public
taxation to warrant more taxation not
only on the same needy people but on
other taxpayers who are contributing
part for their support.
Needs Three to Pass.
The library board consists of Plat
Robinson, Mrs. Emma zeller Dennis,
w. X. Bradbury. president, and James
Howarth. secretary. The board will
vote on the recommendation for the
tax increase, and three affirmative
votes will be required for passage.
Mr.. Howarth believes there will be
three negative votes. Should the
board pass the recommendation, how
ever. there is a township advisory
board. the members of which have Mr..
Howarth's opinion on additional taxa
ton, and this board must pass finally
on the tax rates
Mr.. Howarth believes the library is
good institution for Richmond, but
as far as Wayne township outside the
city is concerned, it is Of negligible
value.
I'VE could raise every item of tax
alton and derive more benefit than we
would from that single item said
Mr.. Howarth. I'm fact, l believe it
will be necessary to increase the poor
tax. He will avoid that if possible,
and l stand opposed to any increase
in tax rates. The rate will not be in
creased this year
Mr.. Howarth stated as his term ex-
pires at the end of this year, he has
nothing to lose by increasing the tax
rates, but he feels it his duty to the
public to oppose the increase.
Il am getting out of office now, and
my responsibility will end" Mr.. Ho-
warth said. But it is not matter Of
politics with me. Perhaps the next
township trustee will feel differently
about the matter and stand for the in
crease
