Poor Billy Sunday.

Poor Billy Sunday is having his own
troubles. 1t seems that there are
people, who even though they may
believe that "the laborer is worthy Of
his hire" think that he ought to tell
his employers what he does with his
money they give him. tits estimated
that the evangelist makes about $780,
O1O year and yet this immense sum
does not bring peace and serenity to
the plain speaking preacher. Some
body is always asking, not "where did
you get it?n but "what are you going
to do with it?" Sunday has hardly
left Philadelphia oreanother form
er associate demands an accounting.
The dissatisfied party this time is
Francis Porter, a former press agent
for Sunday, who seuds to the news
papers statement in which he de-
mands an accounting of the 100000
contributed by Philadelphians to the
support Of the evangelist's campaign
there. Porter declares there is a
shortage of more than $4,000, and
says: "The real truth Of the situation
is that you Sunday are commercial
izing the name of Jesus Christ, boldly
using his sacred name to advertise a
money making business"
"a decided dispositions" his state
ment continues, "has been shown (by
the campaign committee) to avoid
supplying the contributors to this
fund with detailed information re-
garding its disbursement .n-National

Burk and Hobbs.

The following is taken from last
weeks West Plains Gazette: "The
big revival at the Woodside Memorial
church conducted by Burk and Hobbs,
assisted by the celebrated soloist and
choir leader, Herbert @. Toyey, con-
tinues. Interest increases with each
meeting and the attendance grows
larger every night.
Steve Burk is certainly wonderful
preacher. He is a big man in every
way-mentally as we'll as physically.
He knows how to reach the hearts
and minds of the people. His SER
mons are masterful, convincing in
every way.
A. B. Hobbs is also an evangelist
who gets results from the meetings
in which he takes part. He can sing
as we'll as preach. Burk and Hobbs
make good combination, and they
know how to make men and women
come back to hear them again. They
talk christianity and their sermons
are simply wonderful.
The song leader and choir director,
Herbert G. Tovey, is an Australian.
His parents are Christians. Last year
he was graduated from the Moody
Bible Institute of Chicago, as a
preacher and singer. He is beautiful
singer, and his solos are fine. As a
choir leader he has worked wonders
in every meeting in which he takes
part. He has large choir and is pre-
pairing to organize choir OF zoe
voices for the meeting here.
| Arrangements are now being made
to build big tabernacle in which the
meetings will be held. AT Jackson

Plains, the tabernacle seated 2,OO(

TaE FORTY -elghth General Assembly

THE Forty eighth General Assembly
finished its work Sunday afternoon,
March 21st, at $3.50. The bitter fight
in both House and Senate on the de-
ficiency and general contigent bills
prolonged the session almost a full
day beyond the hour designated for
final adjournment-six O'Clock Satur-
day, March goth. The following
measures of statewide significance
were passed.
The Garden Land Bank Bill.
The Banking Bill.
Boonville Reformatory.
A penitentiary measure which, for
all its defects, is an effort to put an
end to the wretched contract labor
system.
Commission for the blind.
Enabling cities to appoint women
to the police force.
Increasing salaries of Supreme
Court judges to $500 year, of appel
late judges to $4,000.
Insurance rating bill.
The big program outlined in Cover
nor Majors message for the most
part failed. These did not pass:
Civic Code revision.
Workmen's Compensation.
State Fire Marshal.
State Industrial Commission.
State Purchasing Board for Institu-
tions and departments.
| The legislature also failed to pass
the Dairy Department bill which the
farmers wanted and which ought to
be passed two years from and with
far larger provisions than this ses-
sion's measure contained. The dry
bills died as did the equal suffrage
amendment.
1t failed also to provide for an in
crease in railroad passenger rates.

sections retain them.
The largest city which has adopted
prohibition independently of state or
county action in the matter is Cam
bridge, Mass, whose population is esti-
mated at between 10000 and 111,OOO
The largest city in which the saloons
nave been closed by state enactment
is Atlanta, Ca, with approximately
100000 inhabitants.
Municipal Water Systems.
OF the 204 cities of over 10000, 1876
have municipality owned water-suppl
systems, the total estimated value of
which is s1.071, 100000. Municipal
ownership in this field has been in
force in Philadelphia, which built its
plant in 1901 and has operated it con-
tinuously since that time, for longer
period than in any other city.
The bulk of the water supply for
most cities comes, of course, from
lakes and streams, but there are 1854
wells in operation in Al cities. OF
these 1867 are in New York city
alone.
Five processes of publication are
employed, namely, sedimentatfon,
coagulation, slow sand filtration, me-
chanical filtration, and chemical ster-
ilization.
In these 155 cities with municipality
owned water system there are 1926
miles of water mains, 5000 fire
hydrants, and 1,7S7,44S meters. Dur
ing the year total of 1,32S, O2S,00
600 gallons of water-enough to cover
the state of Connecticut to a depth
of nearly 6 inches-was supplied to
total population of 26, 100000, the
average daily per capita consumption
being 139 gallons.
The greatest daily consumption of
water per inhabitant, 430 gallons, is
reported for Tacoma, Wash, and the
smallest, "a gallons, for Woonsocket,
r. 1. In the former city eight per
cent of the water is metered and in
the latter SO per cent The tendency
of meters to curtail greatly the use of
water is strikingly shown by a COM
parison of the figures for the &c cities
in which the entire water supply is
metered with those for the IS cities
in which not more than % per cent
is mctered. In the former group the
average daily consumption per inhabi-
tant ranges from 2 gallons in Brock
ton, Mass. to 179 gallons in Columbia,
S. c., and in only seven cities does
it exceed 100 gallors. In the latter
group it varies from 43 gallons in
Savannah, Ga, to 430 gallons in Ia
coma, Wash, and in only three cities
does it fall below 100 gallons.

BUSINESS AND CHURCH
Rev. Roy b. Guild Addresses Cincin-
natl Chamber of Commerce on Co
operation of Trade and Religion.

Wise cooperation of business and
re ligion that will preserve character,
which is the basis of abiding success
for both, was the general plan laid
down by the Rev. Roy B. Guild, exec
utive secretary of the Federal Coun-
Gil of Churches of Christ in America,
to the Cincinnati Chamber of Com
merce recently.
Mr. Guild is a former Topeka pas
tor of the Central Congregational
church
THE only legitimate object of or
ganlzation is efficiency. 1t can never
be legitimate when it is intended for
hostile competitive purposes 1 have
never entertained the slightest jeal-
ousy or those processes of organiza-
ton which lead to greater and great
er competency, but I have always been
Jealous of those processes of organiza-
ton which were intended in the spir-
1t of exclusion and MONOPOLY said
Mr.. Guild.
Upon this basis the Chamber Of
Commerce is established. The most
highly honored members are those
who unstintedly give of time and
money and thought that business of
the city may prosper.
'On the same day that President
Wilson addressed the business men of
Columbus, he addressed another great
body assembled in your capital city in
resentatives of thirty denominations
with a membership of 100000 were
gathered for a three days conference
on cooperation. The religious work
ers of this country are not blind to the
need of working together for the good
of The community. AS there have been
the cutth1 oat methods of doing bust
mes, and still are, so there have been
the cutthroat methods of rival re-
igious institutions. AS in business
so in religion, the results have been
disastrous to ell.
THE Indispensable asset of every
permanently successful enterprise is
character. The business firm that
trains its employees to be dishonest in
dealings with others sooner or later
finds that it has been warming a. ser
peI-t in its own bosom. The great task
of the church is to develop for the
business world men and women of I'M
i'm peachable character. Every dollar
the business men give for securing the
laI gest success of the church is the
safest investment he can make. Take
out of the marts of Cincinnati the
results of the teaching of the great
principles set forth in the sacred scrip

your business life will be in chaos in

CHRISTMAS WARNING
Matter of Lighted Candles and

should exercise the utmost care in
handling them.
Neither paper, cotton nor any 9TH

used to decorate a tree. Metallic TN

well and their use may save child s
life.

Christmas tree is almost sure TO cause
a dangerous fire.
Cotton should never be used to

good substitute.

A very great portion Of wheat
was seeded in this state before the
twenty-fifth of April and other
small grains are going in very
rapidly. Rains the past week have
made conditions excellent and the
promise for big crop was. never
better. Reports from different
counties show that the wheat aver
age is larger by 5 per cent than in
former years and there is great
increase in corn and alfalfa. The
United States will be called upon to
furnish much food for the European
countries during the coming sum-
mer, and North Dakota will be
ready to do her share. Reports of
business conditions in the country
at large, show that there is steady
improvement.
