Hell Is not a place of eternal torment,

to show that man was not redeemed from
a far-off place Of eternal torture. but
Quotes the Scriptures proving that he was
redeemed from the Grave at the cost of

was the way that Dr. A. b. NanOrmer

Americas foremost humOrist at the
Thursday afternoon lecture before the
teachers institute.

Attitude Determines JOY.
'It depends upon which or the two
attitudes we take towards u tasks

If we approach the matter in han as

And so you teachers laboring in tire

morrow and Thursday. Two mat
inees will be given each afternoon at
one and three o'clock. This produc-
ton is in seven reels and is adapted
from the famous play by Edward E.

known to need retelling, deals with
the unjust suspicious of husband
whose erring wife shields her erring
sister, and the near tragedy which
results. The part of Father Kelly,
who is really the chief character, is
taken by Charles Clary. Kathlyn
Williams is the wife and Wheeler
Oakman the husband Supporting
these players are several we'll known
Selig stars. The production was

because of the war, is the 2OO-mile
canoe race which will take place dur

One of the trustees of the Graham
Browne cup, the trophy fought for in
the race, was violently opposed to
holding this contest during the war,
but the other trustees overruled him
and the race will be held as usual.
The canoe race became an inter-
national affair last year, when the
trustees allowed entries from any part
Of the world. 1t is expected that
there will be number of American
entries this year.

GIBBONS IN Line TO
ACQUIRE 2 TITLE BELTS.

New York, Aug. 31.-Mike Glib
bons, the st. Paul phantom, who is
conceded to be one of the greatest
middleweights in the world today,
is facing new path to fame and for
tune. The adoption of the new
weight may mean a great deal and
undoubtedly Mike will take advan-
tage of the opportunity to pile up
the filthy 1ucre He is in line to ac-
quire two worlds championship titles.
New Scale Of Weights.
When the boxing promoters of the
country met at Cleveland last week
to launch an organization which
would elevate the sport, the first big
movement presented was the adop-
tion of new scale of weights. In
this scale, the welterweight poundage
mark was lifted from 145 to 147
pounds, while the middleweight here
after will be 100 instead of 1853. .
Gibbons Makes 147 Easily.
Gibbons is making 147 pounds at
|3 o'clock, and that mark is COM
paratively easy for the phantom
Practically all of his knockouts were
scored in bouts which called for 145
or lat pounds weight, while beating
heavy middleweights has developed
into pleasant pastime for the St..
Paul lad Therefore, with the world
of welterweights forced to- take on
battles at 147 pounds, the ambitious
Gibbons will find a big field of op-
ponents lined up for plucking. He
aspires to become champion in two
classes, and from the present out
look nothing but a setback in the
McFarland contest can batter down
his aspirations. He has the world
beaten blind at -cleverness; he is q
twohanded fighter, who is equally
strong on the offensive and defensive,
and, too, he can hit hard enough to
send an opponent into the land of
dreams, and the exodus path leading
into oblivion.

VILLAGE FAIRGROUNDS
A MODERN NEED
They May Be Brought About by inteIli.
gent and Efficient Planning.

A contributor to the Philadelphia
Public Ledger deplores the lack of
Fairgrounds in our. small towns and
villages and gives the following sug-
gestions for starting a movement to
secure such a playground in a small
community:
How shall the work be started
Convince q few just persons Of the
Importance of the work. Then ask
the neighbors to come together. Let
the trysting place be on neutral
ground, where local jealousies cannot
creep in. Try first to convince your
citizens as individuals before they
meet as a committee. Always ask the
opinion Of those whose opposition you
fear. Remember Benjamin Franklin's
advice. "Never try to convince by ar
gument, but invite them to help, and
they will rarely fail you" The CON-
mittee should pass "a resolution in ia
vor of the plan and recommending
their action to the municipal authori
ties. Do not write to them, but let the
prime mover Of the scheme, with all
the influential citizens, go directly to
the village fathers and in loud, clear
tones say, "We must have play
ground for our town.
Do not ask for just ball ground.
This is good, but not good enough.
You want not only field for big boys.
but also a playground for your chill
dren, both girls and boys, and little
park, a pleasant place with trees and
seats, where tired mothers with their
babies and the old grandparents can
sit and rest while they watch their
children play, a shelter in case Of
showers and where the village band
can give its concerts. There should
be apparatus, such as swings and giant
strides, a seesaw and quoits and, above
all, teacher or superintendent, as no
playground succeeds without supervi-
sion.
To acquire this money is needed. IT
possible secure nucleus, gift from
some we'll to do citizen, but do not de-
pend upon it. Ask all those of moder-
ate means to help, and, above all, do
not forget to ask the aid of the poor
and humble, as they are the most gen
erous of all. Last, the town or village
authorities must give to the fund. A
very good way is to start playground
on small scale as proof to the skep-
tics that you are right. The methods
Of raising money vary, according to
the locality. Subscriptions, public
school entertainments, flower days,
fairs means can be used. Re-
member, If faith will remove noun
tains it will also move politicians. All
this work can be done and has been
done in the township of Lower Merton.
Montgomery county, Pa, where the
writer of this, with the help Of many,
both high and low, has seen her dreams
more than realized, as soon five parks
and Fairgrounds will enrich her town

leaven the whole"
