 modern advertising could be devoted than to stimulating active interest in the church as an invaluable asset to this or any other community. Yes terday's filled churches, the words from the pulpits of New Haven, and the Sunday school parade of yester- day afternoon bore eloquent testi- monyto this fact. If there are those who dissent from this view, their philosophy of life and it's obligations must at once come into question Modern city life demands nothing else quite so irnperatively as that the church shall uphold and stimulate the spiritual life of the community. The business of life has been tremendous ly complicated by the demands Of the worl1aday world. Not all the tend encies which grow out of such an ex- istence make for character and a high level of personal devotion to things of the spirit. Without the stimulus to something better than sordid pursuit of what the world labels suc- cess, the individuals standard of liv- ing too easily sinks to a lower level The church has preeminently the power to elevate men and women to higher spiritual plane. The citi- zens of a city like ours who have | recognized fhis truth are it's best argument The present campaign, continuing today with the convention in College Street Hall, should make i it's own effective appeal. It Is a de- plorable fact, perhaps, that the church needs advertising. Since it does however, there is cause for rejoicing in the fact that advertising is being 1 New Haven Journal Courier.

The first settlement in the vicinity
of Albany was established by the

and fort were built on Royd's Island,
on the southern border of the city
that was to be. It was 119 years
ago today. March 10, 1877, that AL
bany became the capital of New York
State. At that time it had a popula-
ton of less than 5000, but a history
that was replete with thrilling incl
dents. Albany is the Oldest settle
ment in the thirteen colonies with the
exception of Jamestown, Va. The
first forst was swept away by flood
in 1917, but was soon replaced by
another, named Fort Orange. Much
of the land on both sides of the river
was bought from the Indians by Xii
taen Van Rensselaer,, an Amsterdam
pearl merchant, who became PATRON
Of the district called Rensselaerswyck,
while the town which grew up about
the fort was called Beaverwyck or
Williamstadt. In 1864 it was captur-
ed by the British. who changed the
name to Albany, in honor of the Duke
of York and Albany. The steam nav
fgation OF the Hudson and the con-
struction of the Erie canal gave AL
bany a great impetus, and by 1850
the population had Increased to 3d.

WAS ALL A MISTAKE
Santa Fe Officials Deny Argentine
Story About stopping Trains.

Officials of the Santa Fe railway
company this morning denied a rumor
originating at Argentine, Kan. that no
trains are to be stopped there in the
future Six west bound and eight east
bound trains are stopping at the sta
ton daily, officials declare and the
company is not contemplating decreas-
ing the number. they say.
According to the story that was
brought here from Argentine, the
Santa Fe and other railroads were
contem plating action that would COM
pei passengers from Missouri to points
in Kansas to purchase tickets to their
destination in this state thereby COM
pelling them to pay straight two and
q half cent fare. Passengers travel
ing between Missouri and Kansas have
been purchasing tickets to the point in
Kansas nearest the Kansas Missouri
line From that point transportation
is purchased to their destination In
this way. they can ride through Kan
sas for cents a mile
The rumor that no trains are to be
stopped at Argentine is believed to
have originated following receipt of a
letter by Mayor Green of Argentine
from officials of the santa Fe advis-
ing him that no more trains would be
stopped at that point The letter was
in answer to a request from the mayor
that late afternoon trains be held for
passengers at Argentine.
