KNOCKING

1t is characteristic of some peo-
pie TO knock everything, good or
bad, without proper investigation.
In the case of the United Hall
association, we sometimes see and
hear it commented on unfavorably
by people who have never attended
a meeting, never read circular
pertaining to it, and never inves.i-
gated it. They almost invariably
hold up as criterion what others
have done in years gone by, and
their failures. We want TO say to
those people that we would not be
interested in the United Hall asso-
citation unless we had faith in its
success. 1t is slow proposition
to be sure, but if those at the head
continue to work along the same
conservative lines as laid down in
the bylaws, they will eventually
succeed. They will soon hold their
annual meeting. and invite the
public Especially these knockers)
to be present. New officers and
twenty-five directors will be elected.
Come out, hear the reports and see
for yourself. Some of the strongest
opponents admit that we should
have a hall and see the need of one
and yet they will not invest ope
dollar in share of stock. So to
them we say: What difference does
it make if the moon does get full !?
1T will not be your headache. =

THIRD CHURCH ITEMS.

The "go to church" spirit seems
to have visited members and friends
of the Third Baptist church in
earnest here of late. judging from
the splendid services held during
the past few weeks. and this is just
what we have been praying for and
laboring for since the first OF the
year. Nearly 200 persons were
present last Sunday evening, and
total collections from all sources for
the day amounted to $45.
We were greatly pleased to hear
the pastor say that $3.50 had been
paid On the church debt last week
and nice little sum is still in the
treasury. We are hoping to make
a, Sher payment BY January /.
When it comes to making friends
the third church is right up in the
front rank. How about these two
additions to our forces. Mrs. Vir-
ginia Moore Hughes has volun-
teered to assist in the work OF the
choir, and Miss M. Wilson, a splen-
did soprano, will be heard every
Sunday evening. We certainly ap'
preciate this act of kindness on the
part of Mrs. Hughes.
Special arrangements are being
made to receive the women's club:
who will assemble in The Third
church on Sunday evening, Oct. 81,
Representatives from Stockton and
Los Angeles will also be present
and since each Of the bay city club:
is planning to turn out in full, tht
attendance for Sunday night i:
likely to break the record for thi!
year.

THE ELECTION

The election Of last Tuesday was
a decided protest against non
partisanship. The issue was clear
cut, and while the vote was light,
an evidence that there has been a
surfeit of elections, a big majority
went on record as being opposed to
substitute men for principles. All
the proposed Progressive amend
ments were also defeated. While a
big one, it was Governor Johnson Is
first political defeat, aud yet there
are some who are already figuring
that it is the beginning of the end.

|. 4. TIMES IS AGAIN
 GIVEN IHE DIRECT LIE

Regarding a malicious and h6eious islander on Yuma, under San Fran cisco date line, direct wire to the Los Angeles Times March 2S, ln which it was stated that on March 2'' 1915:
 Yuma, Arizona, was the windi- est point in the United States, with an eighty-two-mile-an-hour gale sweeping its streets the Examiner presents the following in rebuttal:
 Affidavit
 Personally appeared, Sumner Hack cit. who upon being duly sworn, de poses and says:
 My name is Sumner Hackett, ana my title is Observer, U. s. Weather Bureau.
 "I have been Official in Charge, Lo- cal Office, U. s. Weather Bureau, for nearly fifteen years at Yuma, Ariz-, and in the service of the Weather Bu- reau for nearly twenty years, during which time I have been continuously engaged in the care of wind recording instruments and in the computation ! of records from the same.
 'T have computed wind velocities Ot Saturday, March 27, 1915, and 1 find that the maximum wind velocity of that day, midnight to midnight, was seven miles per hour from the south east and that it occurred immediate ly after 100 p. m.
 q find the total wind velocity Of that day to have been seventy-One miles, for the 24 hours.
 'T find from careful examination of the records of this station, that the highest wind that ever occurred here during the past thirty-seven years, was fifty -four miles from the northwest upon March F, 1894.
 SUMNER HACKETT." Subscribed and sworn to before me this 31st day of March, A. D., 1915.
 H. B. FARMER, Clerk of the Superior Court of the State of Arizona, in and for Yuma County.
 It is hardly expected that the truth will in the least deter the Los Angeles Times, and that bunch who knock Yuma at every opportunity, from con tinuing the same disreputable tactics; however, it is the desire of the Exam iner to present the truth to all who wish to know it.
