Sea storehouse Of Treasure.

Perhaps everything that is lost finds
Its way to the sea, the great swallower
Of valuable things, which certainly has
q capacity equal to hiding from human
sight every movable object en- earth.
Among the strangest stories Of the sea
are those relating to treasures f1shed
from Its depths. The incident Of fish
being caught, and having in its stom-
ach ring, has occurred 80 frequently
that 1t has lost its strangeness. The
fish Of the sea are voracious and not
at all discriminating, so that 1t is al
most impossible to say what has not
been found in their stomachs. Sharks
have been made to disgorge pipes,
boots, books, money, clothing and hard
ware, and other fish are but little less
voracious. Vast as 1t is, the sea, in
course Of ages, has received so many
wrecks that its bottom is a storehouse
Of treasure.

BILLY SUNDAY HAS ARRIVED
AT Los ANGELES.

Los Angeles, Sept. BIN looking
over the Herald of recent date was
pleased to note that Iowa is doing
her part 20 keep down the high cost
of living. l spent over fifty years of
my life in that good old state and
during all those years l never knew
Iowa to fail in producing enough for
man and beast and some to spare,
That is not putting it too strong but
rather mild, and think ! am safe in
saying that Iowa will do her part to
win the war for Democracy and boldly
demand freedom of speech, freedom
of press and free non-sectarian
schools. My only son, Howard, en-
listed some time ago and he is now
in camp at San Antonio, Texas. We
hope that in the near future peace
will be restored; not temporary,
patched-up peace, but permanent
peace founded on fundamental De-
mocracy.
Billy Sunday has arrived in Los
Angeles and has opened his cam
paign to combat sin in this big wick
ed city. Billy Sunday held his first
revival meeting over twenty years
ago at Garner, Iowa. On that occa-l
sion instead of great tabernacle
such as he uses now, he utilized a.
hall over livery stable and his at.
tendance only reached two hundred
and fifty persons. The meetings in
Los Angeles will be held in taber-
nacle which will seat $4,000 persons
and accommodate total of 10000
by allowing people to stand in the
vestibule which circles the building,
1t is probable that the building will
be filled almost every night. The
lowest attendance at Sundays meet
ings it is said will be on Sabbath
The expense of the cam
paign in Los Angeles is estimated at
100000. There has now been col
lected or pledged $4,000 as guar
antee fund for these expenses.
