OVER FOUR HUNDRED GATHER
ED FOR FIRST MEETING ON
SUNDAY, DESPITE THE RAG
ING BLIZZARD.
NC C0MBE THE REAL THING
Bvangelistic Party All That Has
Been Claimed for Them. Attend
ance is Steadily Increasing.

The Tabernacle Campaign started
ON schedule time in the big building
last Sunday morning. 1t was one of
the worst days in years, and one could
hardly imagine worse blizzard. Yet
in spite Of that fact, about four hun
dred people turned out for both the
morning and evening service. Rev.
J. II. McCombe and party are all that
has been claimed for them. and al
ready many favorable comments are
heard from quarters which have been
heretofore only, to say the least, very
lukewarm. Attendance has been
Increasing all week.
Prof. l.. f. Peckham has charge of
the music, and already has a chorus
of eighty voices. He is a wonderful
director, and has that rare skill and
technique so essential to the success
full musical director.
Mr.. and Mrs. McCombe must be
heard to be appreciated. They are
great church workers, broad minded
and liberal. Much real good is an
ticipated from the campaign just start
ing.
The program for the week has been
as follows: Monday night was
Fellowship" night. The various pas.
tors and others of the community
spoke from the platform. Refresh.
ments were served and it was a real
get-to-gether meeting. Rev. Olivia
j. {. Woodman made the opening
prayer, and in the course of her re.
marks said in substance that wher
the Tabernacle proposition was unde,
discussion, she was not in favor of it
But she has changed her mind.
Tuesday night was Baptist night"
Wednesday presbyterian Night"
Thursday Methodist Night; Tonight
friday will be "School Night" anc
Saturday will be "Disciple anc
Grange" night.
The various churches have made &
special effort to get all their mem
bers and friends out on the differen
nights. They would congregate al
the church, and led by the band to the
Tabernacle where sections in the cen
ter have been reserved for them.
Tonight, is "School Night"
basket ball game is planned at tn,
Rink with visiting team, but Mr.
McCombe made "deal" with tn,
scholars, that all should come to tn,
Tabernacle for the meeting which viii
close early, and then the Tabernacl,
Folks would accompany the teams t,
the Rink, swell the attendance and en-
joy the game. Such is the broad
mindedness of the McCombe party
They have already entered into th
very life of the community, and ca,
see Paw Paw from the other fellow
standpoint. We predict that ere lon,
the Tabernacle will not be larg
enough to hold the people who desir
to attend the meetings.

War prices and taxes again engaged

Industrial interests. This situation was
emphasized by the presentation of the
Treasury Departments five billion dol

NEW ORLEANS. July 2S.-Periods of
selling were experienced in cotton here
today around the first call and at the
close. but during the greater part of
the session the tone was steady and
prices were at a small advance, due to
the demand from shorts who wanted
to cover over the week end. On the
opening there was a decline of to Is
points, from which the market ad-
vanced to q level 16 to II points over

CHARLTON MAY NOT
CAUSE SWELLING.

The first Charlton case of the season
in a given community is usually one of
internal Charlton caused by food or
water that is infected with germs of
the disease Unless the animal is under
very close observation no preliminary
symptoms are likely to be noticed The
animal is seized very suddenly with
great depression, the temperature rises
rapidly, the mucous membranes of the
eyes, nose and mouth are of a dark red
color, and the solid and liquid excre-
ments may have a blood stained APP
pearance. As this form of Charlton is
found most commonly in cattle, mis-
takes are often made in IDENTIFYING the
disease: the hides are removed and the
carcasses are not destroyed as they
should be.
Under no conditions should the hide
of an animal be removed during an out
break of Charlton without first making
a microscopic blood test for the char.
bon germs. SHINING charbonous
carcass not only spreads infection but
endangers the life the person re-
moving the hide.
Many people hold the opinion that
every case of Charlton must show an
external swelling. This, however, is
not the case. All sudden deaths of
animals, whether there is swelling or
not, during the summer months should
DC considered suspicious of Charlton
unless it is known definitely that some
other agency was the cause.-Harry
