 Harvard University Says

Harvard University submits a list of fourteen courses dealing with religion and the bible in refutation of the charges made by Billy Sunday that Harvard and many other colleges keep the bible out of the curriculum. The university not only gives courses on religion to those students who care to pursue the subject but has d special department called the history religion department.
 The evangelist said in his attack on the religious slothfulness of American colleges that if he wanted to make d pttle infidel out of his child he would send him ito one of these universities where they keep the bible out of the curriculum" Then he added: If the young men of Harvard had the least bit of encouragement they'd be swept into the kingdom like doves"
 There were seventy five Harvard students in Billy's audience when he flayed he university buI they took the indictment of Harvard calmly The Harvard Crimson printed an account of the evangelist's condemnation of Harvard, but made no editorial com ment on it.-From the Boston Post.

General Sunday dissertation, the Joyriders and those who live with ma,- ice in the heart, all received scauhing denunclatlonS at the hands of Evan gelist Hart in his sermon last night Tn the Tabernacle when he spoke on the Sins of Phoenix" The largest week day crowd of the revIval greeted the Evangelist and hls singer. lis sermon was strong appeal for his hearers to consider what they were to gam by life of worldlness and to turn from the slavery of life of sin
 Hart took his text from the Sixth chapter, first verse of Romans, Shall continue in slnY lie sald ln part:
 Make this personal: Shall 1 con tinue in sin? If they who attend the meeting will read their bibles prayer fully they will have no difficulty in distinguishing between right and wrong, but should they know nothIng about the bible they can at least give the question consideration.

 The worst word is d word of three lettefS-S-l-n. Sin IS tTanSgrcSSlOH or the law. It crosses the law, goes against the law. It wants to be let alone. Sin is lawlessness. It is self ishness. It brings solitude and sui eide. The drunkard who robs his family is selfish The thief, the Sab bath breaker, the libertine. are selfish.
 Shall we continue in sin? Sin de- ceives. Sin debauches. We live in an age that is losing the sinfumess of sin You cannot touch sin and escape again without being harmed. r. is a trick of the devil to dress up sin. lie makes sin d desirable thing in the be- ginning.

ENTIRE FARM UNDER GLASS
New Jersey Industry Furnishes Ripe
 Tomatoes in Winter


 Winter farming under glass IS De- coming a thriving industry in New Jersey. IL bids to be further stimu- lated by soaring prices and the gen. eral scarcity of fresh farm products such as can be successfully stored and held over after the regular summer growing season
 There are q number of these winter farms in various parts of the state, but few of them have made greater growth or nave so large an output as the one operated in Deerfield Town ship, Cumberland county, by the Sea brooks Farms company. which has gained fame in recent years by reason of it's extensive irrigation system covering several hundred acres.
 There are six greenhouses. They are built of steel and glass and each is three hundred feet long by sixty feet wide. Care has been taken in laying out this winter farm" to take advantage Of the sunshine.
 With the frigid winter world shut ouisioe by the cxpansiVe glass roof this snug farm has d succession of June days right ir the midst of the black months of December January and February
 The farming" under glass is done an very extensive scale Three or four crops of such vegetables as radishes can he raised during a single season and no space is permit ted to go 10 waste
 Cucumhers have special wire trel- lscs to climb over. and unlike those in the ordinary garden. the vines are not permitted to ramble about at will.

We believe that if there is large vote at the election Saturday the proposition to sell the Center school block for s2lOOOO it will be defeated Without fairly large vote it may carry for the same elements which have all along tried put that property into private ownership and destroy can always win against inert though well meaning majority. It is therefore important who have an interest in the beauty of Phoenix and future of Phoenix attend the election on Saturday.
 There will be but one voting place the Central School building. The polls open at ten o'clock in the morning and close at p. m. The qualifications for voters are:
 CD Citizenship of the United States.
 (2) Residence in the state one year.
 (3) Residence in the district thirty days
 In addition there the usual qualifications of voters at school elections
 CD Parent of a child of school age whether a pupil in the schools or not.
 @ Payer of a school tax. In the case of com munity property both husband and wife may vote regardless of which the title to the property may be n
 Under these qualifications there ought 10 be a large voting population and we hope see at least seventy-five per cent of it at the polls
 There never election more vital to Phoenix city election may be a very vital one but is mis- take IS made it can be corrected next year or the year after. But if mistake is made next Saturday it will be mistake forever

 The only reason why those paragraphs were ever inserted because government was so unscien- tific, unbusinesslike that it could form an estimate of it's needs and made wild guess at the greatest amount of money it could possibly consume, and complasant legislature accepted the guess as an estimate. There the paragraphs stood balk the attempts of future legislatures decent re- trenchment

 About 50 policemen in front of the headouarters kept the crowds moving. Before the police guard arrived, how ever, four banners had been torn from the hands of the women as they were leaving headquarters. When the police mon tore down the banners the crowd passing by cheered loudly.
 Late in the afternoon when the govern ment departments poured their thou sands in Pennsylvania avenue, the women who had been unmolested for several hours, brought out more banners addressed to Kaiser Wilson, They were promptly confiscated by the police. When the supply of these had been ex- hausted the women began to bring out their ordinary picketing banners, stream CTS of suffrage colors.

OPTIMISTIC SPEECH
 OF LLOYD GEORGE
 HAILED WITH JOY

Washington. August 16.-Premier Lloyd Georges optimistic speech In the British Parliament today was inter preted here as preliminary indicn- may be expected to adopt toward any discussion of peace on a basis which might permit Germany as n conqueror to dictate terms.
 News of the premier's speech came while the state department was re- ceiving by cable from the British for eign office the text of Pope Bene- diets message to the leaders of all belligerent nations. proposing basis for peace negotiations and earnestly appealing for it's consideration. In en- tente diplomatic quarters and among government officials Mir. Lloyd Georges announcement of improve ment in food conditions, removing the danger of England being starved into submission his assurance that losses through submarine attacks continued to decrease and his declaration that there would be sufficient tonnage for 1918 and for 1919, if necessary, were hailed joyfully as q sign of Great Brit aims safe position and firm attitude.
 The pope's message was laid before President Wilson by Secretary Lans- ing. Important conferences which must precede a reply will begin shortly but necessarily sometime must elapse be- fore the response goes forward
 DIFFERENCE IN TRANSLATION
 A translation of the message was made public by the state department tonight does not differ materially from the unofficial version cabled from Flu rope. Slight differences are due to varying translations of French idioms. Where the unofficial text has the mes sage addressed to the rulers" of the belligerent peoples the departments translation makes 1t leaders" Instead of lovely" exportations the official translation reads "earnest" exporta- tions. Instead of Germany being re- quired to guarantee Belgiums inde- pendence of it" the official version says "of any power whatsoever"
 NO DISCUSSION YET
 While there already have been many informal conferences among officials and diplomats regarding the pope's proposals, it may be stated on Secre- tary Lansing's authority that the sec. retary so far has not discussed the subject with the President and also has refrained from communicating his views regarding the character of the reply which should be made to any of the dispatch of the popes communica- ton.
 MT Lansing has felt that it would be improper to indicate even in a per sonal way what he thought of the communication and he has also depre. cated any attempt by the newspapers to forecast the action of the govern. ment in this matter as likely to prove very embarra ssing.
