TOO MUCH NOISE
SUNDAY MORNING
New First Baptist Fellowship
Club Campaign Against
Nuisance.

The new fellowship club ofsthe First
Baptist church held a meeting in the
church parlors last night, and a deter
mined campaign against open mufflers
and noisy automobiles on Sunday
mornings was planned. The complaint
was made that vehicles of this kind
pass the various churches during ser
vices of Sunday morning and make
such a racket that the congregation
finds itself unable to hear the minister,
while the noise disturbs the pastor as
well.
Decision was reached to petition the
city commission and seek their aid in
the adjustment of this nuisance. The
commission will be asked to frame an
ordinance In regard to this matter and
see that it Is enforced.
Other downtown churches are to be
asked to join in this crusade.
At last nights meeting Of the newly
inaugurated organization in the Bap-
fist church, the name of Fellowship
club was formally adopted. The club
was formed in July and has proven a
success. One of the features of the
clubs activities is to be work among
the boys.

HUSBAND TAKES
LAMP FROM WIFE
Mrs. Taylor Enters Absurd
Charge Against Hubby
in Police Court.

Mrs Charles Taylor of this city
thought when her husband picked up
the lamp near which she was reading
and went into another room with it,
that he was breaking the law, and she
therefore had him arrested on a
charge of disorderly conduct. When
the case came up for hearing she re-
fused to appear against him.
Taylor told the court this morning
that an argument had resulted be-
tween himself and wife because he
objected to their daughter going to a
public dance in the old Wagner opera
house, while Mrs. Taylor thought it
was proper that she should go. In the
course of the argument he picked up
the lamp and left the room, with his
wife still arguing.
What Magistrate Gustafson said in
private to Taylor regarding the abb
surdity of such a charge. is a secret,
but he dismissed the case without
waiting to hear from the woman.

regarding the work OF the Greater No

There have been 81 meetings OF the
committee, with an average attendance
of %, which IS an excellent record of
a membership OF 81. and shows more
than anything else the interest taken
by the members in the work outlined
by the committee. This does not take
into consideration the meetings of the
various subcommittee, which have
been numerous
THE expenditure Of s62.S5 for post
age charged TO the secretary's Office
gives you an idea OF what the daily
volume of correspondence is. and this
is getting heavier every day. In all
divisions a total OF ISIS pieces of mail
was sen: out during the year at a total
cost of S1S9-22: more than half OF these
pieces were personal letters. the bal
ance being form letters. notices, cir
culars. pamphlets, etc.
Much OF the detail work IN the or
ganizatson OF the Office has been COM
pleted, and 8: is expected that the re-
suit will show a smoother working
machine in the coming year. Every
city must have a place OF some kind
where such questions as: What are
your light and water rates: how is the
commission form of government work
ing, etc. can be answered, and the
secretary's Office OF the committee is
taking care OF these queries. This does
not take into consideration the ques-
tons asked regarding location of indus
tries, general publicity and definite
questions pertaining 10 specific ma
tiers.
