MEXlCANS NOT READY
FOR F-GOvERNMENI

Norman, Okla, April 2S.-Everett
DeGolyer, leading geologiSt of the vast
oil fields of Mexico, who graduated
from the University of Oklahoma in
1911, addressed the Young Mems
Christian association of the university
and declared in the course of his
talk that the people of the southern
republic are not ready for self-gov-
ernment
Only about ~ per cent of the Mex
lean people are able to- read and
write, which rate must be decidedly
increased before a stable government
can stand in that country.
Mr.. DeGolyer declares the MeXi-
can people are suspicious of the Uni
ted States and regard Uncle Sans
motives as Interior. He advised the
students of the American colleges and
universities to study Spanish in the
plade of German and French, for the
reason that the day of Mexican de-
liverance is not far off, and when the
government is again redeemed for the
common people. the advance in COM
merce will be very rapid.

is POSTPONED ONE WEEK

Oklahoma City, April 2S-Announce-
ment was made Tuesday afternoon
by e. G. McAdams, president of
the Oklahoma City Bar association,
that the annual meeting and banquet
of that organization, which was to
have been held next Saturday night
has been postponed to Saturday night
May s. This decision was made, ac-
cording to the president, on account
of the inability of NJ. NJ. Crane of
Dallas, principal speaker for the oc-
casion, to be here this week. This
information was received Tuesday
morning by telegraph, Mr.. Crane sta
ting that cases in the federals courts
would keep him from being here.
However, me stated that he could be
here either May or May 10. After
consulting several of the local men
who are on the program, the presi-
dent decided on the following Satur-
day as the date.
Indications are that the banquet
will be the most sumptuous affair

that has been attempted here by the
members of the bar. A much larger
crowd than usual is expected to at
tend and the preparations include
many features that have not been
carried out in the past. 1t is an
nounced that surprise is in store
on the menu card, but none of those
in charge of the preparations will
divulge what this surprise is.
The dinner will be served in the
banquet hall at the Skirvin hotel
and in view of the fact that this is
one of the feature banquets of the
year in Oklahoma City the manage
ment of the hostelry has announced
that extra efforts will be made to
please the guests.

"APPEAl OF RELIGION"
TO THE UNCHURCHED

Louisville, Ky, April 29.-An appeal
for the church to have initiative
and daring, and risk something for
the ideals of Jesus" in order to reach
the unchurched, was made here last
night in an address by the Rev.
George Gilmour, pastor of the First
Unitarian church of Dallas. He was
speaking before the convention of
Southern Unitarian churches, now in
session here, and took as his sub
ject The Appeal of Religion to the
Unchurched."
sort of effort on the part of the
church would bring responses, and
quoted Charles Kingsley's "If the
Christian church We're what she
ought to be and could be, for a single
day, the world would be converted
before nightfall.'
In making a plea for greater efforts
on the part of pastors and church
members in the church and in the
home, as well as in daily work, Mr..
Gilmour said in part:
Every man, whether in or out
OF the church, will admit that the
worth of the church depends on how
much moral root it has, or whether
it is largely an affair of surface
cultivation, or whether it is grounded
in principle.
Before there is a response from
the majority of the unchurched, the
church must prove it is a heart and
soul believer in the central gospel of
the Man of Nazareth. The marks of
that gospel are readily detected when
it expresses earnestness, intelligence
and boldness in preaching, and ac-
tually living out the personal ideals"
In urging that the church be made
a religious home" where the un-
churched might find "rallying cen

them out of their Indifference, sell
fishness and practical atheism into a
working faith that shall make life
seem worth more the living" Mr.. Gil
mour pleaded for broader viewpoint
among church members. "The church
has eliminated many by its narrow
conception of goodness and virtue"
he said.
The church will be second to none,
he continued, when it makes the
test of fellowship: Those who wish
to keep their minds and hearts alive
and growing. and who have concen-
trated themselves to the work of MAX
ing better and fairer world.

An excellent suggestion is made by
practical swine breeder to those hav-
ing cement floors in their hog pens. He
advises movable wooden floor for the
winter. He makes his own floors Of
one inch boards and lays them dat on
the cement in sections small enough
to be removed at any time
In this way he combines the advan-
tages of both the cement and the wood
He can remove the board floor, scrub
out the pen and also thoroughly clean
and disinfect the false floor outside.
Cement Is the cheapest material in the
end for the floor of hog pen. The
floor of the outdoor apartment should
be few inches lower than the house
door. so as to insure a good drainage
and dry sleeping quarters.

Camas Prairie Chronicle. = No
town can prosper without the
hearty cooperation of the country
tributary to it and no rural COM
munity can achieve it's best results
without the assistance of good. live
towns. Therefore both town and
country should work hand in hand
at all times for the upbuilding of
each other and should have perfect
faith in the honesty and integrity of
each other. The business man
should be satisfied with a reasonable
profit on his wares and the farmer
should not begrudge him this profit
for if the farmer will only stop to
figure the percentage of profit real
lied on most of his farm products
he will see that he is making a
larger profit than his brother in
town. Perfect understanding and
confidence should exist between
both the town and its rural COM
munity and the residents of each
should mingle frequently with each
other in order to foster this feeling
and to become better acquainted
with the conditions under which
each exist, without which under
standing neither can appraise the
other nor understand his circum-
stances and desires. .....
