Little Mother" Mrs. Booth visits
these prisons yearly and speaks Z
word of encouragement to the boys
and assists them to a higher stand
ard of living upon their release from
the prisons.
Shortly after the Volunteers was
organized and Incorporated, it was
discovered that a great work could
be accomplished among the homeless
children. and destitute mothers, many
of whom, wives of the prisoners, were
forced to go out by the day and work
to earn livelihood for the little tots
left at home, and in order to provide
bread the children had to be neglected
in many cases. Mrs. Booth immedi-
ately saw that homes were necessary
in order that the little ones might be
properly provided for, and our fu-
ture generations trained so that they
could cope with the various prob
lens that would from time to time
arise.
Nearly half a hundred homes have
been opened by the men and women
in the Volunteer movement, who have
given their lives to be used for the
advancement of the Masters king
dom.
Captain Cummings superintends the
home which he opened in San Diego,
Cal, less than a year ago, and which
has the endorsement of the Associ-
ated Charities and other prominent
officials of the city
During the year more than one
hundred and fifty destitute mothers
and children have been sheltered by
the Maud Booth Home and the home
in Los Angeles cares for several hun
dred children in the course of year.
1nasmuch as the home takes chill
dren from any section of Southern
California, Captain Cummings is Wis
iting the Imperial section to secure
funds for more equipment for the
home, as there are several children
on the waiting list to be admitted into

CHILDREN'S HOME HERE

Captain Ross |. Cummings of the

1t will be remembered that some
twenty years ago General Ballington
and Maude B. Booth severed their
connection with the Salvation Army
work in this country and started an
American movement known through
out the United States as the Volun-
teers of America, with national head
quarters in New York City.
At the time of organizing, Maud
Booth, wife of the leader of the
American movement, chose as her

A Story ON Nettner.

Fred {. Kelley in Washington Star
Only Bill Kettner would have
thought of the scheme that this lit
tie story is going to tell about. Bill
is a member of Congress from Sal
Diego, Cal, but before that he wa,
life insurance agent. He was Z
successful life insurance man, too, We
are assured, and though naturally OF
d cheerful disposition made a great
deal of money by dispensing large
quantities of gloom. Whenever he
met a man who wore the pink flesh
of robust health upon his check, Bill
would begin to talk of the uncertainty
of life. Soon he would have that
healthy man so apprehehsive lest he
die ere nightfall, that he would hasten
to take out more insurance.
Then Bill went into politics, and
this last fall he got something like
1000 Democratic plurality in what
was ordinarily strongly Republican
district.
Now we come to the sample in
stance of Bills resourcefulness. He
made a speech while ago that he
desired certain Republicans in his dis
trict TO read. There were about six
or seven persons in particular that
he wanted to have read the speech
all through-eVery word of il. He
knew well enough that if he merely
mailed it to them, in the usual man
ner. they would glance at it just long
enough to see whose speech it was,
and then throw it into the waste bas-
ket. So the situation required STRAIT
egy. After a great deal of thought,
Bill sat down and dictated letters to
90 with each speech, somewhat as
follows:
My Dear Sir: | trust you will par
don me for mentioning your name in
d speech which | recently delivered in
the House, but thought the occasion
was one where it was only proper to
give credit where credit is due. |
hope you will take the reference in
the speech to yourself in the same
spirit that prompted it. | am enelos-
ing copy of the speech"
In the course of events, kettner pot
a reply to each one of the letters. All
read substantially as follows
Il do not understand your recent
letter accompanying the copy of your
speech. | have read the speech clear
through twice and do not find any
reference in it to me-"
"The point is" Bill wrote back, mot
so much that you didn't find any ref
erence to yourself as that you read
the speech. | was very anxious that
You should read it. And do you not
agree with me that, taken as a whole,
1t was a most excellent speech?o

Mr.. Gordon Wagner of East Gam
bier street, this city, has received
word that his cousin, Austin Wagner,
was murdered by tramps near Capple-
town, Kas., on Friday. His home was
III Cleveland and he was on his way
to Kansas to work in the wheat fields
when he was sandbagged by tramps
and thrown from freight train. Wag-
'ner lived with his uncle, Frank Wag-
ner, in Cleveland. He has visited in
this city several times and was quite
we'll known here. His father was
Ford Wagner, who dropped dead in
Cleveland about year ago. Young
Wagner was to have received 100000

birthday in September. The body
was sent to Cleveland and from there
it will be taken to Canton, where the
funeral occurs on Tuesday at the
home Of Wagners sister, Mrs. George

Which May Totally Destroy

Civil Service Mess To Go To
Supreme Court

Columbus, O., Aug. 9-Had there
been anything else needed to com.
plete the utter decentralization of the
Willis administration that has been
given in the decision of the Willis in
surance commissioner which lets down
the bars to the employers liability in
surance companies so that they may
undermine and totally destroy the
workmen's compensation. From all
parts of the state come demands to
the members of the state industrial
commission to resist this onslaught
and if the commission has not the
power, the matter will be taken to the
courts by representatives of both cap.

the benefits that accrue under compul-
sorry workmen's compensation. 1t is
being recalled that under the admin
istratiOn of Governor Cox every on
slaught of the interests against work
mems compensation was successfully
resisted and that this resistance was
made a campaign issue by which Will
lis enlisted the aid of the liability COM
panies and was raised to the governor
ship. How well Willis is repaying the
notes held by the liability people is
now being seen. The mortgages
against the homes of the widows and
orphans are being foreclosed
1t took Attorney General Turner all
summer to muster up his courage to
the point where he could lend his of.
fetal sanction and the prestige of his
position to the bolstering up of a civil
service ripper law which failed of
proper passage, and which under
former rulings of the supreme court is
no law at all. 1t is announced that
former attorney general Timothy S.
Hogan will resist the ruling on behalf
of those interested. How Turner may
defend the ruling in which it is known
he has but little faith will be watched
with interest.

THE DEMAND FOR GRADUATES OF
THE OBERLIN BUSINESS COL
LEGE GREATER THAN EVER.

The fact that the demand for grad
yates of the Oberlin Business College
has been greater than ever the past
year, when times have been Ill, in
dicates the reputation for thorough
work which this school has gained
among business men seeking Office
help.
A young man who completed his
course at Oberlin last week went to
Cleveland and at once secured fine
position. He was greatly pleased to
find that business firms expressed a
preference for gradu ates of the Ober-
lin Business College.
This school has mt. Ne great ad-
vancement the past year. IS new
building adds greatly to the equip
ment. That it was the first business
college in Ohio to be placed upon the
accredited list of Ohio colleges by the
state department of public instruction
indicates it's high standing in regard
to equipment, courses, class OF stu
dents, and grade of teachers.
The fall term will begin Sept. Z

Ohio are planning to enter then.

reclamation of forest and prairies was
begun, the first necessary thing was
transportation. There can be no pros

communities. The railroads, steam
and interurban have played useful
part, but the good roads movement
picks up the transportation scheme

Anybody who would question wheth-

he has failed as chief ex-
ecutive gives that worthy man less
credit for intelligence than he really
should. This realization came upon
the governor when he made up his
mind to abandon that western trip
when he learned that Vic Donahey
wouldn't let the state pay his expens-
es. That decision will permit the gov
ernor to save just so much more out
of his two years salary, which he re.
