ENOUGH DRUGS STOLEN
TIC MAKE THIEVES RICH
One Accused Man Convicted and
Most of Dope" Recovered.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-If John G.
Howard and Joe Kinney had not been
arrested and had they been able to
dispose of the $4,000 worth of habit
forming drugs they are accused of
having stolen from a wholesale house
they would have realized a profit of
about $4,000. Instead Howard was
found guilty the other day and SEN
fenced to twelve years in the peni-
tertiary. Kinney's trial is on now.
Towards trial was before John A.
Rich, sitting as special judge in the
court of Judge E. E. Porterfeld. Will
liam NJ. McGibbon, manager of the
drug house, testified the drugs stolen
from the concern, while of market
value of $4,000, would have brought
approximately 100000 if sold direct
~ to drug fends.
Howard and Kinney, however, are
alleged to have acted as a clearing
house,, which supplied drugs to per-
sons who "retailed" the drugs.
Drugs worth about $4,000 were
recovered when Howard and Kinney
were arrested.

BUNGALOWS BUILT IN
The AIR in CITIES
NOVEL HOMES PERCHED ON TOP
CITY SKYSCRAPERS. FLOW
Frs AND SHRUBBERY.

The pressure of population and the
price of land may lead to very COM
mon use of the roofs of New York
city sky-scrapers as dwelling places.
A few years ago certain enterprising
owners of large apartment houses
built cottages on the roofs for the
superintendent of the buildings,
deeming it an improvement over the
basement rooms so frequently occu-
pied by these necessary executives.
These dwellings proved so attractive
that various artists, fresh air advo-
Yates and others heard of them and
have been besieging real estate of
fees for roof homes. In consequence
the real estate owners soon found it
more profitable to give one of the
apartments to the superintendent and
rent the roof at fancy price.
Much taste has been shown in de-
signing these roof bungalows and
wonderful ingenuity has been display
ed in hiding or transforming such
necessary but unsightly things as
chimneys and ventilator shafts with
trees, shrubbery, statuary and flower
lined brick walls. Even fountains
and pergolas are found on these
apartment-top areas. Some of the
homes represent investments running
into thousands Of dollars.
One Bungalow Has a Fence.
Perhaps the most pretentious roof
bungalow is that occupied by Herman
Meader, an architect, on top of the
12-story Waldorf building, opposite
the Waldorf Astoria hotel. In front
of the building is a glass enclosed sun
parlor. From this point a view is OBJ
tanned of formal garden, so by so
feet. 'The ESTATE" is surrounded
by picket fence painted white.
William Gompert's home is on the
deck house of the Burrel building, of
which he was the architect. 1t con-
tains rest room, dressing room, bath
room, private Office and apartments
for his assistants. The bungalow,
which is of frame construction, is
painted yellow and white, and on two
sides of it are tile walks. In front
of the building is a formal Grecian
garden, with an artistic fountain, a
bust of Julius Caesar and many novel !
urns and boxes.
Madam Olive Fremsted, a famous
opera singer, Earl Carroll, musical !
composer, and Mrs. Patterson, a
sculptures, are others who have es-
tabished their homes on the tops of |
in Americas greatest |
city.

PROGRESSIVE ATLANTA BANKS
LOANS TO NEICHBOR FARMERS
Money for Buying Registered Hogs
For Breeding if Supervised by Full
ton County Demonstration Agent.


ATLANTA, Ga.-Fulton county
farmers desiring to raise registered
hogs, but lacking the cash to buy
their breeding stock, can borrow the
money from the Fourth National
Bank Of Atlanta; a progressive and
public-spirited institution which has
made an arrangement to cooperate
with the Fulton county commission
ers through the county demonstra-
ton agent in promoting the pure
bred hog industry on large scale.
Any farmer of good moral char
acter who agrees to use the money
to buy and breed registered hogs I'M
der the supervision of the county
demonstration agent can borrow his
initial capital from the bank, and
boys and girls of the pig clubs can
make the same arrangement with the
cooperation of their parents.
Already the pure-bred hog indus
try in Fulton county has made rapid
strides among farmers who have the
capital to invest in registered stock,
and now the offer of the Fourth Ma
tional Bank to finance small farmers
is expected to give it still further
impetus. John K. Ottley, vice presi-
dent of the bank, and his son, John
K. Ottley, Jr., are enthusiastic and
successful breeders of registered
hogs and won string of prizes at
the fair held in Atlanta last fall.

SERMON ON PURITY
Rev. Robert Gordon Attacks Topeka
Moving Picture Shows Sunday.

In a sermon on the text. ''Thou
Shalt Not Commit Adultery" at the
First Baptist church Sunday, the Rev.
Robert Gordon attached blame for
much immortality here to the actions
of the state appeal board for moving
pictures and the class of advertising
and pictures exhibited in this city. He
said in part:
We are witnessing a reversion to
barbarism. If the pain occasioned in
our own beautiful city by this mon
strous iniquity were given utterance
from hell and would pierce the
heavens. No man needs to search for
evidence. Shameful and horrible
forms of sensuality thrust themselves
upon attention. Posters in front of
theaters and on billboards are fire.
quently gross affronts to decency.
They are the expression of calculated
lechery. Moving picture films even
in Topeka are occasionally at least
signs of moral decadence. That is
true because our board of censors are
overruled by the appeal board. I saw
picture recently that was hideous
beyond words. 1t hurt like a blow
in the face. But the most shocking
thing of all was the fact that at those
tense moments when. under a malig-
nant enchantment, souls were being
damned men and women in that audi
ence Uttered and laughed outright.
There must be a new telepathy. The
church must project a new idea This
deadly iniquity is the very head of
antf-Christ. The trumpets of the
Lord are sounding for an attack. Not
suppression merely, but extirpation
must be the aim. Impurity is I'M
natural Woman is the hottest thing
alive. In her beauty and purity she
is the incarnation of the love of God.
Teach men honor woman Cynical
treatment of her is the one irrever-
ence against which society must
stand. Teach men to honor them
selves. To common men Jesus said,
Be We perfect No evil can stand
against an aroused and united
church"

ries will be continued by a sermon
