ID Day Big Success
rongs In Attendanfe and Good Order Maintained
SEVENTEEN FRIES won BY PAGELAND S

SEVENTEEN FRIES WCl
The first field day for the
schools of Chesterfield county
was held at the county seat last
Saturday and the largest crowd
ever assembled in the county in
the interest of schools was in al
tendance. A shower about dawn
caused some to stay at home, but
from all parts of the county the
people came until the sheriff of
the county said, There are thir-
ty-five hundred people here.''
Others guessed twenty five hun
dred, at any rate, it was some
crowd, to use the best English,
and the balmy spring air made
possible the JOY and gladness of
the day. They were there from
every walk of life, from the little
tot to the gray, haired veteran.
From far aud near, on buggies,
wagons, trains. automobiles and
horseback they came, and it was
past the noon hour before the
crowd had fully gathered.
Many beautiful and appropri
ate floats were arranged b. the
schools of the county, and the
parade, which formed at the
Chesterfield high school building
and passed up main street to the
court house, was fully half a mile
in length. A number of the
floats were bedecl1ed with school
children, and the other children
present marched in twos in tile
parade. Chesterfield won first
prize for the best float; PagslarR

her last hour, she saw and by the
help of the spirit of God she be-
lieved and died triumphant in
faith in a divine, living Christ;
and what became of the preach
er? Well from that day on he
preached Christ divine. OF
course he had to quit his de-
nomination, so he became a
Baptist. The story is true; he
tells it himself. Where could
there ever have been a man
whose name held the power in
it that the name of Christ holds?
He never wrote a book, he only
in all of his life so far as we
know wrote one line and it was
written in the sand soon to be
wiped out by the foot of the pas
ser by. And we do not know a
word of what it was. He never
sang any great song that we
have any record of, and we have
the words of only one sermon
that he ever preached and yet
God has given him name that
is above all other names, for his
name the thousands and thous-
ands of churches that stand all
over the world are built, count
less numbers of hymns have
been written and people by the
millions are worshiping the one
eternal God through him his son
and the lamb of God which tax
eth away the sins of the world.
All history is dated by his
birth, all dates before his births
point TO that time and all since
point back to it so that even
those who deny him are
oDh3ti II ilt, their letters
and their business transactions
by his birth, thereby admitting
without intending it that there
was something great, something
grand and awful, took place on
this earth some where about
1900 years ago. Shame on any
one who could allow themselves
to doubt the divinity of Christ

not as yet been applied to the

producing artificial respiration

he thus produces suspension Of

Throughout the corn belt,
the season has been gen
erably favorable for the
growth of crops. The win
ter drouth and favorable spring
conditions caused the soil to
work up beautifully, and made
the preparation of the seed bed
an easy task. In some sections,
unusually heavy rains beat down
the fields, but speaking general
ly, the soil in the corn belt has
seldom been in better mechanical
condition. The stand of corn
seems to be good, the fields are
fairly free from weeds, and the
prospects are favorable at the
present time.
1t should be kept in mind,
however, that we started in this
crop growing season with a
marked shortage of moisture in
the soil, and from March first to
the present writing we have had
less rain than normal throughout
the corn belt. The conditions
which have been favorable for
crop growth have also been fav-
orable for weed growth, and
while they are not much in evil

The President Demands Fairness.

President Wilson has the dis
'oncerting habit of making those
who fight his policies fight in the
open. 1t is the kind of a habit
that the American people like.
There was nothing in the
Presidents first attack upon
the insidious lobby" that indi-
Gated any purpose to force agre5-
ment with his policies. There
Is nothing now. There has been
and is, however, the very dis
tlnct purpose to make all sides
play their cards above board.
The President uses no com
pulsion other than the fair pres
entation of fair opinions in a
fair field. If the cOmpulsion is
ON his side it is only because
Ipublic opinion is on his side.
Public coinion is u%nquestion-
D'ly with Mr.. Wilson in his no
IS'tion that it is the duty Of Con
gress to dispel uncertainty. The
country has the right to a def
n'te, enacted policy for the guild
9nce Of legitimate business.
The President service in tar
if and currency legislation to
name no other of his services
has assured against the danger
of ill-considered radicalism as
1t has assured against the dan
ger of a standpat conservatism.
1.-THE country need not presume
TO know whether Mr.. Wilson's
policies are perfect. But at the
least it is willing to give the vii
son administration "a show for
its white alley in the solution
of a difficult problem.
1t stands firmly back Of the
President in his demand thai
there shall be no 'manufactur
ed" depression and that those
who enjoy illegal or immora.

ed or selfish, shall not use theil

Let it be clearly understood
that The Intelligencer's opposi-
ton to Mr.. Hamlin is not based
upon any disappointment of our
own, nor upon any appointments
he has made or failed to make,
hut upon the fact that the
Seventh District needs a bigger
man. Mr.. Hamlin is either stu
pid or he is content to remain a
nonentity in the House of Rep
re%sentatives. After nine years
of opportunity we find no evil
dence Of growth, nor is it posi-
bic to trace the least thing that
could be construed to mean that
he has any standing with his
colleagues. The only virtue his
supporters claim for him is,
that he Stands hitched." Mr..
burst, we believe, is a superior
man in every respect, and should
receive the nomination.

Church "LOVE CENTER"
PROVES Big SUCCESS
Pastors Wife Sponsor and Cupid's
Darts Are Flying Thick
and Fast.

Boston, Nov. 2.-Boston's church
love center" is a success.
The younger members OF the fremont
Street Methodist Church congregation
are egerly taking advantage Of the novel
idea sponsored by Mrs. Rumsey Jenness.
the wife Of the pastor. Its object is to
provide a place for simon-pure, true
blue courtship where the young men and
women Of marriageable age can gather
and become acquainted with a view TO
platrimony.
So far the courtship meetings held
every Wednesday and Sunday evenings
In the church at West Concord and Tre-
mont streets have been crowded. They
are made interesting by "chocolate-pots
chocolate is served to the young folks
and also a light repast.
over 100 young men. including a large
number OF Tech and Harvard boys and
more than 100 girls, numbering among
them many from the Emerson College Of
Oratory and the New England ODnser-
Vatory Of Music. are attending.
The plan. which has met with a pro-
nounced success. originated with Mrs
Jenness. who has had a great deal Of
experience with young people Her hus-
band before coming to Boston held pas
torates close beside the gates OF two
large universities-the University Of Cal
fornia and the University Of West Viz
ginia.
Mrs. Jenness' motto is. give the
young people a chance"
believe in bringing them together
and then in letting propinquity do the
rest" she says. Cupid in the church is
well placed. Where could there be a more
fitting place for young persons to car
ry on their love affairs?'
Mrs. Jenness has already paved the
way for quite a number Of romances
and perhaps wedding bells and honey
moons In the future. Harvard students
who have experienced lonely evenings
over in Cambridge are numbered among
the leading participants in the courting
parior doings. Young people who have
contracted the hall room habit be-
cause Of nowhere else to go have turn
ed out in numbers from the South End
to join the throng Of courters.
