The Concrete Path

San Diego, August 17-Going
back to his first love, the great ma.
tional game, Billy Sunday, noted
evangelist, umpired a baseball
game between teams of San Diego
bankers played for sweet charity
at the San Diego Exposition, Sat
urday, August 7th, and then on
the following Monday conducted
a revival service at the mammoth
outdoor organ. Sunday spoke to
a crowd of 10000. Church people
of San Diego turned out en- masse
to hear Sunday, while thousands
of others were drawn to the meet
ing out of idle curiosity.
The ''saw dust TRAIL" made fam.
GUS by Sunday and his soul-stir-
ring sermons, did not exist at the
Exposition, but in its place there
was the concrete path over
which filed a long line of converts,
to proclaim faith when urged by
Sunday at the psychological mo-
ment. Sundays topic was "But-
terhy Chasers." The noted evan
gelist is declared to have played
an errorless game as he denounced
the works of Satan.

u. P. Officials Injured.

Sunday evening a U p. motor
gar Jumped the track about 3
miles north of Lake creek on the
$. & E. injuring A. II. Dahlstrom,
C, NJ. Highsmith, e. l.. Brown
and James Philborn, all o. P. Of
6cials from Denver. These gen.
tlemen came through from Den
yer on their motor a and were
well up on the last leg of their
Journey when the tire on the
front wheel broke, causing the car
to leave the track, throwing all
the men to the track. G.. M. High
smith was the worst injured, re-
ceiving a bad cut on the forehead
and jamming him up in many
places, straining him all over, as
we'll as breaking a rib or two Oh
the left side. Mr.. Philborn is suf-
fering from a severe shaking up
and a broken rib on the left side,
while Dahlstrom and Brown are
both well-shaken and bruised, but
able to fish at this date.
Mr.. Dahlstrom, the only one of
the party able to walk immediate
ly after the accident, followed the
track up to the Newman ranch, on
Lake creek, where he summoned
aid, though he made that distance
with much difficulty. Mr.. New
man and another man went to the
scene, while the Misses Brooks
and Nell Newman went over to
the Federal Hatchery to telephone
for a doctor. A motor car was
put into ser vice and a quick run
bringing the injured men
to the Newman ranch, where DIR.
Price and a visiting DR.. Ash
attended them
Monday morning the men were
all brought to town and lodged at
the hot springs, where they are at
the present time. 1t was indeed
for them that they got
out as easy as they did, and the
fact that one of them was able to
make his way after night to Mr..
Newman's, where they received
the very best care possible.

crowds this fall. 1t is said to be
one OF the most novel and enter
tanning feats on the fair circuits
this season.
Gaucho, having but two legs is
confined to one gait, which is
enough for his purpose. But Mad.
anne Marantette has with her two
horses that have SO many gaits
that 1t is difficult to keep track of
them. There is the imported Ar
abian, Chief Geronimo, who has
them all and does the revolving
PEDESTAL act and other stunts.
And there is the champion high
school mare, Sun Flower, to com
plete as handsome and intelligent
pair of high school horses as will
be see on any fair circuit.
st. Patrick is another champion
of the horse world. That's the
reason he was named st. Patrick.
His speciality is high jumping and
he has a record Of z feet 10a in
ches to his credit, which proves
him some jumper. With Gaucho
and the two high school horses,
st. Patrick will add much to the
entertainment of the fair visitors.

Shriners' Picnic.

Big doIngs at the Hopkins Is
land ere pulled off by the Shrin-
ers of the Saratoga Valley aud
Rawlins last Saturday and judg-
ing from all accounts everyone
had a fine time. One of the la
dies present was kind enough to
give us the following information,
which is graphic and needs no
further comment:
"a general invitation was given
to the Shriners and their families
of Rawlins and the North Platte
valley for a days outing on the
Hopkins Island, a dinner and sup
per to be cooked and served by
the Shriners, followed by a dance
at the Hopkins ranch house and a
breakfast.
1.-THE Daley auto truck left Raw
Inns Friday night loaded with de-
~licious edibles. A severe rain,
the wrong road, and the bewilder-
ed driver in attempting to turn
about, backed into an oil prospect
four feet deep, broke the main
shaft of the auto and spent the
night with his precious cargo.
The cars from Rawlins found
heavy roads from the severe rain
and a broken down commissary
truck. A ranch team was employ
ed TO haul the load into camp. A
buffet lunch was served to TWEEN
ty-fye car loads of hungry Shrin-
ers at 2 p. m.
with the aid of a professional
cook the Shriners prepared a six
O'Clock dinner of chicken, bacon,
French-fried potatoes, green corn,
lettuce, radishes, young onions,
rolls, coffee, watermelon, ice cream,
and small cakes.
"The day, the dinner and the
place were ideal, the hospitality
of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Hopkins
most cordial, and was further test
ed by the jolly good time at the
ranch house.
Through the courtesy of Sena-
tor r. G. McGrew, the Dutch ov-
ems, cooking and dining room out
fit of the Carbon Timber Co, were
furnished for the OCCASION"

Controller George Engel has work

Of 2 l-2 per cent, which he thinks
will take approximately 100000 of
the tax roll. The assessment for
the sinking fund is raised by direct
levy. The city is now paying inter.

bonds. The controller has solved a
problem in higher mathematics
which he says proves that the pres
ent assessment for the sinking fund
was originally made too high. Tues
day morning. he asked the ways and
means committee to recommend the
employment Of an expert to pore
over his theory and testify to its cor

Advertising a Great Moral
Force in World Declares
Speaker at Church Banquet

That advertising has moral force
In the world today as well as COM
value, Is the firm conviction
Of Milton NJ. Alexander, who was
one CT the principal speakers at the
third mems dinner In the Fort-st.
church. last evening. II
wss Newspaper night"
Advertising In mighty force"
said Mr.. Alexander. 1T can remove
prejudice, eliminate poverty. wipe
out sickness and spread the light Of
truth and happiness into the far
thest corner OF the earth.
"rhe man who undertakes to ad.
vertise. literally concentrates upon
himself the limelight OF public notice
he deliberately lifts himself from
obscurity-and unless his product is
OF quality and his personality above
reproach he cannot hope for success.
The fact that he deliberately chooses
to call attention to himself is almost
proof OF his responsibility. People
who lack probity. we are assured,
prefer the darkness
Advertising as profession Is
rapidly coming into its own, and the
sincere. capable Advertising man is
doing his full share to lift 1t into
the realm of science-the science
Of creating. emphasizing, and satisfy.
ing the economic and social needs
OF the world: the science Of infiu'
cncing the hIruan WILL"

Frank Martin, of the Banker-Mar-

cred a hidden city in the columns
OF newspaper and took the guests
jubketing through "The silent
streets"
In reading the newspapers all OF
us are daily visiting sections of the
city that we would never see IL We
were forced to use open highways
and public .thoroughfares.
Just as certain localities attract
well defined types, so do certain
sections of these silent streets at
tract certain people.
The man who seeke out the pub
lie score board to find the latest
baseball news is pretty apt to be
seen wandering down the columns
Of the sport page. Here he finds
the strong. boldly displayed clothing
advertisement written In vigorous
English..a little slangy perhaps, but
very human. On the society page
We find, or should find. different
type of advertising, which makes
its appeal to the feminine eye
through It's typographical display
and illustration.
Advertising Is universal In ita
appeal and upwards of $680,000,o
year Is spent. which represents a
per capita cos. Of $40 for every fam
lily Of Eve and $3.50 for each indiyid-
ual."

BANG, GOES AN
ILLUSION! JUST
LISTEN TO THIS

The streets OF large cities are not
cosy incubators for the production
of reniuses and future presidents II
David Brown, president of the Peo-
pies Ice Co., gained anything from
his experience as newsboy In his
youth.
Talking before the child welfare
committee Of the Twentieth Century
club, Monday afternoon, he deplored
the fact that boys OF tender age
must be subjected to temptations
that woulc strain the moral fiber OF
strong, full-grown men.
81 am pointed out as an example
of the chance that newsboys have
to rise in the world" he said. "Peo-
pie who would be optimistic see
future presidents in the boys train
ed in the streets, often amid the
night life of the city. They quote
my euccess, but | know that I sue
ceeded In spite of my early expe-
ricuces and not because of them"

OF the hardships OF the old padrone
system.
