Mrs. Emll, E King

Death has taken from the Advent church one of its most faithful mem bers, Mrs, Emily | King, who with her husband and two children, Esther and Ruth, came 10 Putnam httIe more than veal ago, Soon after the entire family was received into ch hutch fellowship. Sister King has ever since been most devoted and unselhsh worker; always ready to aid in every good work. She WAS one ol our dea- conesses and was especially well fitted for that office. The sick and aged shut.ins of our number will greatly miss her cheerful presence, as she visited them from time to lime, bring. ing gifts of flowers, snd eesl.ef all, her sweet Christian love snd sympathy
 Of natural afieetionate disposition, she seemed to take the whole church into her heart and often expressed her love in words as well as deeds. We shall miss her in every phase of our church life, especially in the prayer meeting, from which she was never absent if soSe 10 be present and in ihe sunday school where she had recently gathered class of little children. She dearly loved the little ones.

Per mission would have 10 be had from the church society and then lhe city would have to furnish the light.
 The plan seems sn excellent one. illuminated clocks are seen in, most ailtiafge cities. II would afford an opportunity for the lravelef 10 tell the time by night as well as hy day and would also have the effect Of ennven. ing the business section and add to the newly installed lighting without any great expense 10 the city. The illumi mated clock would be visible fer mile. around.
 MT. Boynton also spoke ot the sign. to be placed on the main thorough fares leading into the city, as suggest cd in the PATRIOT by the Stroller ana said that The matter Of making sne erecting the signs is but small one | some one will only get started and dS the work. The expense is next tC nothing. If we remember correctly ' committee of the chamber of com snerce was appointed in regard 10 such matters, but il seems 10 have become inactive.

LONG PLEADS NOT GUILTY.
u :. TROOPS WANT TO
TAKE WHACk AT i. w. w.
AND SOCIALIST AGTTATORS

Washington, Sept. THE situation
resulting from the anti-war and pro-
German agitation thruout the United
States is extremely serious. This
was admitted both at the White house
and department of justice today I'm
less the drastic measures now being
enforced by Attorney General Gregory,
by direct orders of the president, bring
about a distinct change in the situation
other and more repressive measures
must be begun.
The great danger officials say, was
that the troops thruout the country
viii get out of hand and take the situa-
tion into their own control. Already
officers of regular units and of the ma
tional guard have reported that only
the most drastic discipline has pre-
vented the men going on rampage and
hanging anti-war orators. This situa-
tiOn is general. 1t prevails in the
great Middle West on the Pacific
coast and in the South.
Pro-German ageit have been work
ing hard among The negroes ot the
South to stir mem against the GOV.
ernment They have emphasized the
rioting at East ST, Lousi, N cnos Ter,
indicating growing intention on the
part OF the whites again u reduce
the blacks to "a condition of semi
slavery And this argument has
caused much trouble among the more
Ignorant of the negroes in the South,
especially those in the vicinity Of the
great army cantonments In addition
l. w W. organizers have been trying
TO bring the negroes into their organ
ization thru arguments that solidarity
at this time viii means that the ne
groes can enforce the doctrine OF equal
rights.
All Of this has created situation
which officials sax must be met i'm
mediately If rioting on an enormous
scale is to be headed off All agitat-
ors are to be indicted and their trials
rushed, officials say, and If necessary
TO prevent riotlng at certain specific
points the regular troops viii be used.
Officials refused point blank today
TO discuss ths status OF Mayor Thorn
pson Of Chicago. Details of the ac-
tivities of the mayor now are in the
hands Of Attorney General Gregory.

REV. MILLS TO REMAIN

II has been reported that Rev. H.
Richmond Mills, pastor Of the Meth
odist church of this city, would resign
and devote his time to chautauqua
work. 1t is true that Rev. Mills has
a flattering offer from the Redpath-
Horner chautauqua people, but has
declined it and will continue his church
work In Clayton. During vacation
this year Rev. Mills was on the Red
paht-Horner circuit for more than
month and proved a popular lecturer
wherever he appeared. He will prob
ably do a small amount Of chautauqua
work during the next season. Clayton
people, regardless Of church affilla-
ton, will be glad to know that Mr.
Mills is to remain in the city.

'NIVERSITY ADVANCES DATE FOR
OPENING FROM AUGUST TO
MONDAY, OCTOBER 1sf

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Sept 7.-Inau-
gurating a program of revised sched-
lues, which will adapt the institution
to conditions created by the great war
and make it more efficient in time of
war than in time of peace, President
David r Boyd of the University Of
New Mexico, today announced that the
university will not open until Monday,
october 1st, about sixty days later
than the opening date cf former years
Primarily the change is intended to
accommodate the large number of stu
dents and prospective students who are
directly affected by the war These
are in two general classes those who
have volunteered, or are subject to call
under the selective draft, but who are
as yet uncertain whether or not they
will be admitted to or called for SER
vice; and those who because of the
increased crop movement, or because
others have been called into the ma
tional service, are needed at home.
Recently President Boyd attended the
meeting of University presidents in
Washington. These men, acting with
the advice of the government, deter
mined that American universities and
colleges should not suffer from the
war, in continuance of work and gem
eral efficiency, as has been the case
with the universities of Europe To
keep things going, to increase eff
ficiency and TO adapt institutional
schedules to the necessities of the
students, was the keynote of this meet
ing.
An unusually large number OF New
Mexico University undergraduates
have gone into farming, either as farm
ers or employees These will be need
ed on the farms until after harvest
So will the young women who are
sisters and daughters of farmers and
stockgrowers. 1t Is to meet the
needs of these that the opening sched-
lue has been advanced sixty days
Present indications are that the en-
rollment at the university will be mat
erially greater than last year, in spite
of the calls made on young men and
women of the state by the war. other
important announcements it is indicat-
ed by President Boyd, will follow this
one changing the date for opening the
university year, all of them tending
to make the university more useful to
the young people of the state under
the emergency conditions created by
the war.
