Reverend II. Etheridge, who
closed his protracted meeting here
Friday night has sufficient nerve to
express his convictions. At the
closing of this meeting Reverend
Etheridge made talk which all
denominations ii the town had been
invited TO hear, in which he can
didly and regretfulIy said that
Leesburg morals are OF low
Standard He said further in
substance, that never in his life, had
he seen or heard Of a town, the size
of this, having church services every
Sunday, conducted by regular
ordained minister Of the gospel, that
made absolutely no pretense OF
having prayer meeting services du-
ring the nights of the week. Mr..
Etheridge lays this to indifference
on the part of the people. This is
true.
There must be some cause though
for this, we are, we consider, about
as intelligent and well bred as the
citizens Of the average small town.
Mr.. Etheridge's statement was
true, but he did not tell it all. He
might have said that for fifteen
years, Leesburg, the largest town
in, and county site of Lee County
has been without a resident white
pastor. That every funeral or
wedding had been conducted by inn
ported preachers, or substitutes.
That our sick rarely have known
the comforts Of visit from their
pastor.
He might have said that we have
spent enough money in this time,
importing preachers, to have built
q nice parsonage, pastorium or
manse. He might have said that a
majority OF our adults, to say
nothing Of our children, felt i'll at
ease in the presence Of a preacher
He might have said lots he didn
say. but as it was, he said lots, and
we congratulate him for saying il.
We viii say, however, Of we have
expressed in editorials before, Lees
burg needs, worse than it does ser
mons or REVEALS, a resident pastor
A lady asked the editor Sunday
morning, what kind of a preacher
he preferred. His answer was
one who lives here.

It does appear that with the ire
mendous demand for food crops Of
every kind that this is the day of

this, he has failed to see the CLEAN

Catarrhal ,eafness Canpot Be Cured


by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness

iEhamed you have rumbling sound or inn
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition hearing

deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an inhamed condItion of the mucous sur

 In War Service

The first service flag to be re- ceived in Phoenix, is owned by Deputy Sheriff Ed Ruppert, who Saturday received the blue and red flag with its two white stars from his sen, Carl Ruppert of Unit e6, United States Ambulance corps.
 Young Ruppert who is stationed at AIIantown, wrote his father that the flags are being hung in front of every home in the east that has given the nation soldier. The stars in the flag indicate the num- Der of men given to the army or navy.
 Ruppert's son, Carl, joined the ambulance corps, registering from the University of Arizona where he was a student. Another son of the deputy sheriff, Fred Ruppert, will join the soldiers in training at Fort Riley in October.

MASCULINE VANITY.

Are men vainer than women?
We have often wondered, and we
didn't know exactly how to express
what we felt about it until Arnold
Bennett told us in "The Meaning of
Frocks" in November Cosmopolitan.
Mr.. Bennett claims that the haunt
ed look worn by haberdashers comes
from the long concealment of a terri
BILE secret-that men are, after all,
quite as fussv as women about their
appearance. We have frequently pom
dered over the fact that when a man
buys a cravat or a suit of clothes he
doesn't want his women folk around
but when a woman buys a frock or a
hat she is always glad to have the
company and criticism of her son or
husband.
And this is because, so Mr.. Bennett
says, man has long cherished and kept
the secret of his inordinate vanity
away from women.
Arnold Bennett always writes en-
tertainingly and well on any subject
he elects, but in 1.-THE Meaning of
Frocks' he has written even more
brilliantly than usual.
This article is the first of a series
from Mr.. Benefits pen that Cosmo-
politan will publish in the coming
months.
If they are all as clever as the one
in November Cosmopolitan we shall
look forward to them with great in
tereSt,

PARENTS COOPERATION
ASKED IN SCHOOL PROGRAM

The State Department has added
another subject to the public school
curriculum. The teaching of the SUBJ
ject is required by State Law. In or
der to carry out the wise provisions
of the Law and the requirements
thereof, it has become necessary to
extend the school day one-half hour.
The public school teachers of the
City of Pleasantville are Loyalty sup
porting and giving freely and willing
ly of their time, this extra one-half
hour. In order, therefore, hat we
may extend the school day for one
half-hour and accommodate all, it has
been decided that the school hours
from November 1, shall be as follows:
S.45 a. m. to IL M, LIS to $3.50 p. m.
This applies to the Grammar Grades
of the Public Schools of the City of
Pleasantville.
Will parents kindly note the change
in hours and cooperate with the pub
lie schools?

Praise For Junior Chautauqua.

Referring to the Chautauqua conduct
ed by the Swarthmore association In
his home town. the Hon. Lyman Twin
ing Tingier. lieutenant governor of the
state of Connecticut, wrote in a person
al letter to a Connecticut judge.
Answering your inquiry regarding
the Cbantauqua meeting In Rockville
which closed yesterday, let me say that
the affair was a decided success. SO
highly appreciated by our people that
they have already subscribed for more
than 500 tickets for next year and sew
enty-six ~guarantors have signed. ALI
who attended were delighted, and next
years meeting gives promise to be more
successful than this one. The depart
ment for children. or Junior Chautau-
qua, Is one Of the most valuable fea-
lures of the affair and deserves great
praise. %delighting and i%nstructing the
children. and the adults also, and
should beO,iven a prominent place In
these meetings. Do not fail to call the
attention of the people of Putnam and
vicinity to this part of the Chautauqua
work. In short. the whole affair was
very successful, and one of my regrets
is that we did not take 1t up years
ago"
