A Judicial Pastor.

Declaring he would not be pastor
of a paper church," the Rev. DR..
Joseph w. Kemp announced at a
meeting of the Calvary Baptist church
in New York that he had stricken
from the membership roll 1, 1891 names
out of total of about $500. He had
taken this action, he said, because the
members dropped were not sufficient
ly active in the church and did not
attend regularly. DR.. Kemp asserted
that to keep on the rolls as members
persons who were not interested in
the church was ecclesiastical hypo-
crisy." DR.. Kemp recently came
from Scotland to Calvary church, one
of the oldest and most prominent in
the city of the Baptist faith. The
good brother should read the passage
in the Scriptures that says Judge not
lest we be judged.

TO FIGHT THE
TOBACCO WORM
Appropriation For Work in
Kentucky Increased $lO,-
900 By Congress.

Washington, April 26. "A mightier
battle against the tobacco worm will
be waged in Kentucky next year by
experts OF the Department of Agricul-
ture as a result of an increase Of $10,-
600 for investigation, experimentation
and demonstration for eradication of
the tobacco horn worm provided for
by the item in the annual Agricultural
Appropriation Bill, adopted to-day by
the House
The increase in the appropriation
was put into the bill by Chairman
Lever, of the Agriculture Committee,
at the instance of Representative r.
Y. Thomas, Jr., who appeared be-
fore the committee. About $4,000
was expended for this work lastyear,
that amount being an increase of the
previous years appropriation, for
which the Kentuckian was also re-
sponsible.
No objection to the increased APP
preparation was made on the floor of
the House to-day when the tobacco
item was reached. Representatives
Alben w. Barley and David II.
Kincheloe were ready for any oppo-
sition, as they were armed with an
array of facts to show the need of the
larger sum of money.
The additional money will enable
experts of the Department of Agricul-
ture to cover a wider area of tobacco
growing sections to demonstrate to
the growers the use of a solution of
arsenic of lead, which kills the
dreaded horn worm without injuring
the tobacco leaf or endangering the
user of tobacco. For many years
growers who have not resorted to the
tedious method of picking off by hand
the worms, have used paris green,
and this was shown to be a menace
to the user of chewing tobacco.
Many demonstrations in the use of the
new solution discovered by the agri-
cultural experts, were given in Ken
lucky last year, and the additional
appropriation obtained by the States
Congressman from the dark tobacco
sections will permit even broader
service.

HOW LONG YOU
WILL LIVE
Statistics From Ten States
Bear Out Novel
Theory.

Washington, April 20. IA married
man doesn't live longer than bache-
lor; it just seems longer is the trite
and untrue statement that is not borne
out by the Census Bureau. II is a
fact, however, according to the Divis-
ion of Vital Statistics, that women
live longer than men.
Director Rogers, of the Census, is
soon to issue a novel set of tables,
the first of the kind which have ever
been prepared by the United States
Government. These tables, which
were compiled under the supervision
of Prof. James w. Glover of the
University of Michigan, show death
rates and expectation of life at all
ages for the population of the six
New England States, New York, New
Jersey, Indiana, Michigan and the
District of Columbia the original
death-registration States), on the
basis of the population OF 1910 and
the mortality for the three years,
1909, 1910 and 1911. They are SINH
lar to the 'life tables" prepared by
life insurance companies, but differ
from them in that they relate to the
entire population of the area covered,
whereas the life insurance tables re-
late only to risks selected through
medical examination and otherwise.
Expectation OF life, at birth, in a
stationary population-that is, one in
which the births and deaths were
equal and were the same from year
to year, and in which there was no
immigration or emigration-would be
the same as average age at death,
which is calculated by totaling the
ages of all deceased persons and di-
viding the result by the number OF
deceased persons.
According to these tables the aver
age expectation of life, at birth, for
males is 1919 years; for females, 53.2
years; for white males, 500 years;
for white females, $3.50 years; for ma
tive white males, 50.6 years; for ma
tive white females, 54.2 years, fol
negro males, a.. years, and for ne
gro females, 37.7 years. Females are
thus longer lived by three years, anC
in the case of the native whites ant
negroes, more than three and one
half years.
The expectation of life at the age d
1 is considerably greater than at birth
being 56,3 years for native white
males and 500 for native white fe-
males, and reaches its maximum at
the age of 2, when it is SIS for the
former class and COL for the latter.
At the age of II years the average
white males expectation Of life is
SOP years; at % it is 1914 years; at
40, 28.S years; at so, 2l.2 years; at GO,
l4,6 years; at 70, 81 years and at so,
So years. Similarly atthe age Of IL
the average native white females eX-
pectation of life is 526 years; at IS if
] is 41.8 years; at 40, 3O.8 years. at 80,
22.8 years; at 60, 1873 years; at 20, 9.8
years, and at so, So years.

COMMUNITY CONCERT PLEASES.
PUBLIC ENTERTAINMENT WAS
HUGE SUCCESS 500 PEOPLE
IN ATTENDANCE

Five hundred people gathered at
the high school auditorium Sunday at
ternoon for the Community concert,
the first of its kind ever attempted
here, but which nevertheless was a
huge success in every respect. AS a
result of the great success Of the con-
cert another will very likely be given
within the next six or eight weeks.
Every number on the program, and
there were many of them, was fine.
First came the Battle Hymn of the
Republic which was sung by the en-
tire assembly. the Choral club lead
ing.
This was followed by a group of
songs by Miss Elaine Ruth, soprano,
accompanied on the piano by her sis
ter, Miss Elvira Ruth. Miss Ruth has
appeared here on various occasions
previous to this concert and her abil-
ity was we'll known, but the audience
on Sunday seemed unusually we'll
pleased with her singing.
In the second group Of songs sung
by the assembly still greater commun-
ity spirit showed itself and everyone
sang with greater enthusiasm.
Miss Alice Myrman, mezzo soprano,
was the second soloist on the program.
1t had been some time since local peo-
pie had heard her and they were agree
ably surprised at the excellence of her
singing. Miss Noella Duclos acted as
accompanist.
Two numbers were then given by
the Choral club and the audience was
so we'll pleased with them that ,4e club
was forced to repeat the last one,
"The Haymakers.'
A. H. Vernon addressed the audi
ence, explaining the object of the
Community Concert. He pointed out
that it was intended to bring about a
greater community unity and he COM
pared the singing with the parable
of breaking bread, Of cementing the
links Of friendship and citizenship.
Miss Norma Williams, violinist. fav-
ored the audience with two splendid
selections and she, too, was called up.
on for an encore. Mrs. Philip Greg
Dry played the piano accompaniment.
The numbers by Miss Williams were
the only instrumental numbers on the
program. She played with that feel.
ing which is found only among the
very best of musicians.
Next on the program were three
more songs by the assembly. all of
which were old favorites and We're
sung with vim.
Last of the soloists came Miss
Maude Girault Smalley, director of
the Choral club and originator of the
Community Concert here. Miss Small.
ley sang beautifully and her rendition
of cave Maria from Massenet, with
Miss Williams playing the violin obi,
cato, was especially nleasng. Mrs.
Gregory also played the accompani
ments for Miss Smalley.
Thanks is due Miss SmaIley for the
success Of the concert, as it was large
ly through here efforts that i, was put
on.
Misses Duclos and Ruth and Mrs.
Philip Gregory as accompanies ac-
quilted themselves in avery credita-
BILE manner. The success of any vocal
solo or other musical number depends
in no small part On the manner in
which the accompaniment is executed
and the accompanies at the Commun-
ity Concert were certainly entitled to
credit.
The concert closed with America -
by the assembly.
