MEDIAT0RS TO MEET SOON IN
 NEW ENGLAND

Washington, Aug. 24-Word from Mexico City was being awaited at the state department and the Mexican em- bassy today before fixing a definite date for the first meeting of the joint commission to dis cuss border problems. It tentatively has been decided, however, by Secre- tary Lansing, and Elizeo Arredondo, Mexican ambassador designate, that the commissioners should meet at some place on the New England coast during the first week in September.
 With the session of the commission virtually at hand. there is no question in the minds of officials that the withdrawal of American troops will be first taken up to be followed by the drafting of a protocol covering fu- ture border operations. It has been stated officially that the commissi on- CTS will be authorized to submit each agreement that shall reach separately, to be acted upon by the two govern ments. The third subject outlined for discussion by General CarranZa is an investigation of the interests behind the border raids. What that investi- gation will develop into no official is prepared to predict.

the religion of Jesus Christ is so little in evidence in the lives of many church members
 The trouble, Is, a large percentage of church members lead a Dr.. Jekyll and MT. Hyde existence. On Sundays they are sanctimonious and painfully wouldn't melt in their mouths. But during the remain der of the week their real selves are revealed. It Is impossible to distin- guish them from the children of dark ness.
 Gives G0esips . Wanop.
 They gossip about those whom they appear to love on the Sabbath and very often fail to adhere strictly to the truth in doing so. If they would only take to heart the words of Robert Louis Stevenson their tongues would wag the other way. There is 50 much good in the worst of
 us
 And 50 much bad in the best of us, That 1t hardly beh0oves any of us To talk about the rest of us.
 Hypocrisy is the chief cause of the impotency of the church Whatever we are, friends, let us b. real and sin cere. Don't let us use religion as a cloak. C1oaks don't always hide what is underneath.
 Many people who stay away from church today are not 50 much anti Christian as they are anti-humbug.
 T am not defaming religion by stigmatizang her false friends When the church ceases to be a mere social club for dispensing oyster suppers and pink teas and gives her time and thought and energy to following in the footsteps of the meek and lowly Nazarene. then. and not till then, shall the kingdoms of this world be- como the kingdoms of our Lord and His Christ.

 TERRIFIC WINDSTORM
Special to The Farmer)

Thomaston, Aug. 24.-A terrific rain and wind storm between 5:15 and 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon tore up trees by the roots, put electric lights and trolley cars out of business and caused the merchants to put up their shutters for the night. No trolley cars were running from to o'clock. A big pine tree on High street in front of the George Gilbert place was blown over, as was an elm tree in front of the Walnut street home of Charles Guernsey, the roots Of which jerked up four sections of cement sidewalk. Men were busy last night chopping branches which had fallen across the streets.

ANON H. BRADLEY
 OF "THE SUN" DIES

New r Ofk, Aug. 23.-AnOn H. Brad ley, who for forty-eight years helped to make The Sun and was one of it's oldest employees in years and length of service, died yesterday at the home of his sister, 1122 East Capitol street, Washington. D. c. He was 73 years old. His health had been poor for six months, but he insisted on working until July 1, when his annual vacation was begun.
 MT. Bradley was born in Bethel, Conn. He was left fatherless when he was 12 years old. He went to Wash ington. D., C.. and worked there until the civil war began. He served through the war; in 1868 he came to New York on a vacation to visit a rel- ative who was one of the owners of The Sun. and remained here as an em- ployee.
 One Of his early newspaper exploits was the getting out of an "extra" on Sunday, July 20, 1871, telling of the killing of 106 persons by explosion of the boilers of the ferryboat Westfield at South Ferry.
 He was for many years The Suns advertising manager and then chief clerk in the advertising department. He was also a notary public, apparent ly for the pleasure he derived from attesting without charge the sigma lures of those who required his aid in this capacity.
 MT. Bradley was a thirty-third de- gree Mason. a Mystic Shriner, mem. Der of Constantine Commandery. Knights Templar, and of George Washington Lodge. He was also a member of the G. A. R..
 To his associates he was known as
 Colonel Bradley. He lived in the Hunts Point apartment house in The Bronx, was twice a widower and had no children.
