Religious Educational
Campaign Notes

The preliminary devotional meet
ings held last week in the Lihue
Union Church were both interesting
and effective services with a supris-
ingly good attendance and hearty
spirit Of kindly cooperation.
The Sunday morning service at
the Lihue Union Church was an i'm
pressive one with fine singing, an
eloquent address by DR.. Laughton,
and fine audience in the right
spirit. The church was beautifully
decorated for the occasion.
Dr.. Laughton took day off last
Friday and spent the night at Haze
ma with Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Hyde
Rice and a company of young foil s
from Lihue. They returned Satur-
day
The initial meetings of the cam
paign have been surprise in more
ways than one. The audience. os-
pecially Sunday evening was rec
ord one. much too big for the Hall
and much too big for the seating
CAPACITY.
The singing was revelation.
Not only was the trained singing
excellent; that more or less people
expected But the singing of the
general audience, that was excellent
too; there was an enthusiasm and
spirit in it that was contagious and
inspiring. Every one sang, wheth-
er they could or not.

October 18th, President Crawford
in the Chair,
The President read the resigna-
ton Of Secretary Timmons, and
stated that the Chamber had lost an
extremely valuable member, and
capable secretary, owing to the re-
moval of Mr. Timmons to the Is

forward him a copy of this resolu-
ton, rendering him the thanks of

tary. Mr.. Patterson nominated E.

WALTER CHAPMAN SHOWS Tall
ENT OF TRUE ARTIST.

The recital given last night at Hotel
Chisca by Walter Chapman, local
pianist, was thoroughly enjoyed by a
representative audience. The pro-
gramme opened with Chopin's Son.
alta, OPP. IS, B fiat minor. Mr.. Chap
man played the different movements
with such profound understanding
and beauty of tone as to elicit enthu-
siastic applause that lasted for several
minutes.
Schumann's Papillon's Opus 2 was
delivered with poetic taste and a
palate of rich color.
The programme, taken as a whole,
fully displayed the technical skill,
taste and brain power of the young
artist and quite justified the reputa-
ton he has made at home and abroad.
He has already won high praise IS a
soloist with the New York Philhar-
monte Orchestra and the Damrosch
Orchestra will soon appear in concert
with the Russian Symphony.
Walter Chapman is wholly without
mannerisms or Alterations. On the
other hand, his messages are deliver
ed from composer to audience with
absolute sincerity. He does not exag-
gerate at the keyboard. His playing
expresses his character. As a boy
prodigy he won a host Of friends in
the south.
Again must accentuate the fact
that he is young, full Of temperament
and a pianist of whom Memphis or
any other city should feel justly
proud. Chapman will undoubtedly
still further strengthen his hold on
public favor.
The recital last night was given un-
der the auspices of the Renaissance
Circle, Of which Mr.. Chapman is an
honorary member.-Memphis Com
mercial Appeal, 4th inst.
Mr.. Chapman will give a recital at
the Confederate Memorial Building
in Greenwood, under the auspices of
the Matinee Musicale Club, on We'd
evening, April 18th.

START FIGHT
ON FLIES
TODAY

An ounce Of prevention is worth q
pound Of cure, it has often been said,
and its truth has been demonstrated
In more cases than one. Many a house
wife has found to her sorrow that this
saying is particularly true with regard
-! to flies, for a fly left undisturbed in
May mean a million alive and healthy
in June.
This is the season of the year when
flies begin to warm. With the first
warm days come the first flies, First
n appears, then another. and before
the housewife realizes 1t a whole brood
fills her house,
Housewives, begin your fight against
flies now. DO not let even one stay in
your home undisturbed. Don't think
to yourself, as so many women do,
"Oh, well, M fly doesn't matter. It
is time enough to get after them when
a half dozen appear, Begin at once
with the very first fly that appears.
Have no mercy on them at all.
Every year hundreds Of women read
dozens of just such warnings as this
against the fly, and pay no more atten-
ton to them than if they had never
read a word. Just so long as such
silly, headstrong women exist will that
dangerous menace, the house fly, con-
tinue to thrive.
If these women only could be made
to realize that no more serious danger
exists than the house fly perhaps they
would do their part to eliminate the
peril. Statistics tell us that for every
man killed in battle ten are killed by
the house fly. If each and every one
of you women would only lend your as
sistance in making this a nationwide
crusade against the fly there might be
some hope of wiping out the trail Of
disease which always follows in Its
wake.
You have all seen, at some time or
other, enlarged photographs Of the fly,
with its tentacles. Beneath the feet
are soft pads, which catch and carry
thousands Of disease germs. Every
time they settle on food they leave a
few of these germs behind to endanger
the health, and even the lives, of those
who eat the g%erm-laden food.

CHALLENGES !

He let's her pick the suit he wears
And shows to itsattraction,
He lets her choose his ties and sNeaEDs
His Utmost satisfaction,
He let's her dress him in his stead,
But he will never let her
Adjust his hat upon his head
While he can do it better.
He tells her often that her taste
In every instance proves her.
He slips his arm about her waist
And tells her that he loves her,
And he can trust her with his life
But when he's buttered that on
He will not trust his dearest wife
To put his meanest hat on.
Oh. wife, whose husband makes you feel
That pity for your neighbors,
No'matter how he loves you, he'll
Improve upon your labors,
And though one moment makes you glow
The next one will deny It:
You cannot place his hat just 30.

average citizen would get information
many times of great Importance and

eminent which might incline in some
cases to censure, in others to praise.
The citizen has right to know about
his government, but the information
is not available. "A great help would
be an intelligent digest Of the Record.

The oldest, most universal, most
widely used form Of punishment known
to man is capital punishment. If it
were the great deterrent it's apologists
and defenders claim, crime must long
since have been banished from the
earth, for at one time or other, all seri-
GUS oftenses were punishable by death,
and at some time, even offenses now
regarded as comparatively venial.
When in England nearly two hundred
offenses were subject to the death
penalty, including the offense of pick
ing pockets, it is recorded that while
Pickpockets were being executed GA
Newgate hill, others Of the same gen
try were pursuing their risky calling
in the crowd looking at the spectacle.
Mo evidence has ever been presented
proving that capital punishment deters
men from committing murders. If can.
ltal punishment were a commendab1e
thing, surely the instruments through
which the people administer it shonid
be held in high honor, but as a matter
of fact the executioner is in all lanas
and has been in all ages symbol of
1ntamy. In Utah, where executions
are by shooting as well as hanging
the men who do the public's work are
popularly known as assassins. We
wonder how many judges, prosecutors
and newspaper editors who so strongly
urge capital punishment would care to
dine with a professional executioner
In the days when Minnesota had capi.
tai punishment we know of no sheriff
no matter how conscientiously he did
his duty, but what greatly disliked
having to take charge of an execution,
If the taking Of human life by pro.
cess of law were regarded generally
as commendable, these feelings would
not exist. As civilization progresses,
the spirit Of vengeance dominates
penal law less and less. One of the
proofs is the restriction of capital pun.
ishment practically to the crime of
murder and the abolition of capital
punishment in many states and coun.
ties.
