WHERE AGNosTIcIsM FAILS


Chicago has a number of gentlemen
who lecture regularly to Iarge-sized
audiences from the atheist or agnos-
tic point of view. I, myself, have
been forced out of my belief in the
truth of the Christian religion. My
sense of justice reVolted at the idea
of a just God and eternal punish
ment.
I was forced to give up my belief
in the doctrines Of the atOnement,
the virgin birth, the forgiveness of
sins, the trinity, a personal God an
swering prayer, etc., etc. The drop
ping of these beliefs was the result
of mature studying and thinking.
Now, while l am convinced in my
own mind that Christianity is false, I
also know it has a great deal of
moral and ethical value Rational
and agnostic societies are for adults.
Children can not follow the lines Of

CENSORED

No! you mustn't kill the william
With pistol rude and rough,
You must slap him on the wrist watch
Or perhaps upon the cuff.
No! your vampire can't wear lowcut
Gowns, a-vampin' cross the screen,
She must be demUre and modest,
Or we'll make you can the scene.

reasoning which they map out. Yet
children must be taught moral and
ethical values.
What do ratiOnalists and agnos-
tics have to offer for the training of
children? If these societies have
nothing to offer along these lines the
Christian church, with all it's errors,
still has place in our religious life.

leader discuss this.-C. F. R.

WOMANS INTELLECT.-Is wom-
an the equal of man? The struggle
for supremacy between the sexes
has become so keen that it can be

steTner hand.
The struggles on the part of wom-
en- of many countries to secure for
themselves the right to vote is evil

PRAISES SOCIALISTS. - Why
was the automatic telephone deal

elected men to Office who do not

Elect men like Rodriguez and Ken

The grey wolves of the city coun-
Gil, who are behind Big Biz must be
defeated to protect the future of our
city against the outrageous deals
they would put over on us. Elect
Socialist candidates to the city coun-
Gil who will fight for the peoples
rights, men who think more of pTin-
ciples than wealth, men who are OPP
posed to plutOcracy and are fighting
hard for democracy.
Look what we have accomplished
in Milwaukee, Butte, Schenectady

THE TOLEDO AUTOMOBILE
SHOW BEGINS FEB. SEVENTH
This Year il Will be Larger and More
Comprehensive Than Ever Before.

The Toledo Terminal Auditorium
which will be the stage of the 1916 au-
tomobile show, is stir with the ac-
tivity of big preparations for the COM
ing exhibit.
New cars in which there is great
interest will be displayed on the floor
with the 1916 models that have been
out for some months and the public
wants to make comparisons, to see if
by waiting the designers, engineers,
and makers have been able to spring
anything that is not embodied in auto
mobiles about which the motoring
world has been passing so many fav-
orable comments.
The arrangements of the exhibits
will be such that there will be an
abundance of aisle room, permitting
the visitor to have the best view of the
automobiles, the commercial vehicles
and the accessories and parts.
Mr.. H. V. Buelow, manager of the
show says, 81 look for all attendance
records to be broken as we'll as all
former car sales records shattered at
the coming event."
Results at other shows indicate
that the farmers have already
started to buy motor cars and
this is taken as good omen for an
early spring business by the auto deal
ers. Every year sees an increasingly
large number of cars sold in the coun-
try and nothing has done so much to
change conditions on the farm as the
automobile. A large attendance is
expected from the small towns and
rural communities of northwestern

He uses system of steel reeds,

to the fibers of the internal ear anu

spoken into the transmitter sets the
diaphragm vibrating. Each letter of

CLASSY MUSICAL COMEDY
HEADS BILL AT KETTH'S

AS the big headline for the week-in
fact the biggest headliner so far this
season--Keath's theatre presents "The
Bride Shop" B. A. Rolfe's latest pro-
duction in vaudeville, said to be the
most pretentious offering he has ever
essayed, and one of the biggest and
best acts of the tabloid type that has
been put before the public.
Included in the cast is a good COM
edian, musical comedy soubret with
prima donna voice, baron, Span
ish woman and dozen show girls who
are said to be the most comely lot it
would be possible to assemble outside
of Ziegfeld "Follies" production.
All in all "The Bride Shop" is said
to be winner for vaudeville, and
should satisfy appetites for musical
comedy in miniature, whetted by the
appearance here of "The Red Heads"
several weeks ago.
Another big act on the same pro-
gram will be Dorothy Regel in "The
Girl at the Cigar Stand" Some years
ago she appeared here as the star in
"The Telephone Tangle." Her new
Characterization, however, is an en-
tirely new stage type.
c. Craig Campbell, eastern concert
and operate singer, will render an
entirely classical program.
Robert Emmet Keane, the American
Englishman, whose appearance here
several weeks ago in "Within the
Loop" was one of the big hits of the
big musical production, will render his
inimitable monologue.
Other acts are Jack Donahue and
Alice Stewart in "Him and Her.
Margaret Farrell, character song
stress, and Kartelli, wire artist, and
a new reel of motion pictures.

TAKES PLACE OF H..T PIN
Device on Inside of Headeear Hold.
il in Place Firmly,

Sewed to the inside of the hat crown
is circular casing made of some fleA-
ible fabric. In one end is sewed a
strip of some relatively stiff material,
such as buckram, which slides into
the other end of the casing.
Running completely around the cas-
ing is an elastic cord, of greater lenglh
than the casing. When this cord is
pulled tight, the strip, or tongue OF
bucliram, slides further into the slot
and congresses the diameter of the
hatband. When the correct size OF TIE
kat is found the elastic cord is tied.
by the use OF this device the hat
may be secured to the head without

WAR SENDS HEMLOCK
BARK PRICE SkYWARD

HOUGHTON, Mich.-Another of
the far reaching influences of the Eu-
ropean war is felt in the copper coun-
try. The demand for hemlock bark
for tanning purposes is so great that
buyers for the big leather manufac-
turers are coming into the district and
bidding against each other for the pre-
sent stocks and for the output of the
next season, which opens in May.
The bark is now selling at 50 cord
and this is an advance of so per cent
over the price last May. 1t is the
highest price ever offered for hemlock
bark in the copper country.
One large numbering concern has
sold out it's entire hold-over stock at
this price, and it is possible that with
scvahron. .thrthe. .Te.s NIB NIB NIB NIB
in the last few weeks 1000 cords have
been sold at the high figure. The cop
per country, including Houghton, Bar
aga and Ontonagon counties, will pro-
duce $4,000 cords of bark in a season
and it is expected that this amount
will be contracted for delivery next
May or June at 50 or even more pei
cord.
This high price Of bark is an effect
of the war because that disturbance
has to a great extent shut off ship
ments from South America.
