"Day of Prayer in All Churches

BY request of the President in a
proclamation" just issued, next Sun
day, October %, is to be regarded and
used as a Day of Prayer" in all
Churches for our soldiers and sailors,
and for their success in arms. In
closing his proclamation the President
says: Honestly exhorting all my
countrymen to observe the appointed
day, according to their own several
faiths, in solemn prayer that Gods
blessing may rest upon the high task
which is laid upon us, to the end that
the cause for which we give our lives
and treasure may triumph, and our
efforts be blessed with high achieve
ments."
1t has always been customary for
our presidents to make such request
In time OF our past wars, and which
most thotful people believe has had
not little to do with the fact that
our cause being Just and our service
the Stars and Stripes once unfurled
has never touched the ground" In de-
feat.
This war Is the most serious occa-
sion in our history since the Civil
War. Then, the unity of a nation
hung In the balance. Now, the very
existence of Human Liberty in the
earth Is threatened. The response to
this timely and reyerent request
should be unanimous and real When
we think Of the more than 100 900 SOL
diers already in France preparing for
the Trenches, the many more thous-
| ands now crossing as well as yet to
cross the seas and zones where Turk
the deadly submarine, to later face
the German guns and cruelties; of
the thousands OF our noble sailors on
| convoy ships and highly perilous duty
of blocade in foreign waters in COM
/ pany with the Allies, together with
the memory of the recent sinking of
tHe AHtlles, surely IL Is time LOT a
solemn recognition of our RESPONSE
bilities and the seeking aid of Him,
who has wrought more marvels thru
prayer than the world has acknow-
lodged or can. God, the Supreme
Ruler of the Universe. While we all
are working earnestly for our SOL
diers and sailors and giving generous
ly to their causes, we will not be so
careless or bashful as to be found not
praying at least be present where
they shall be the subject of special
prayer next Sunday-in the Churches

ton. They were not in the last sur
prised to find the six men above men
toned, gathered about a table in the
basement of the hostelry, playing the
fayorite indoor game. Their stakes
were neither matches nor marbles as
could be learned as could be learned
from the stack of money on the table.
All players were interested in the
game and if a watch was being kept
the Waterman failed in his duty.
The players offered no resistance
and were taken into custody Mon
day forenoon the six men, together
with Frank Kendall, who was charg-
ed with letting room for gambling
purposes, were arraigned before
Judge Brazzell in the local municipal
court. All who were caught with
the pasteboards pleaded guilty and
Kendall also allowed that he broke
the law. The seven men we're each
fined SIS and costs, making all in all
quite an expensive sitting for the
gamblers

The farmer gets more for every

age for mutton. 20 per cent. more for
wheat. % per cent. more for oats.
90 per cent more for beef; but he

farm hands twice the wages that he
raid before the war, while fertilizers
which he uses in considerable guam
