Methodist Episcopal Church, South.

Sam J. Starkey, Pastor.
Through the columns of one OF
Bates county's best newspapers we
are asking you to stop, Look, Lis
ten" These words are sign OF
warning, and are used today by near
ly all railroads, at their most danger
CHS crossings ttss Did ,ets knew that We
were today at the most dangerous
crossing that the maddest of minds
can institute? The great malstrom
of war, the murder mills are still
grinding. The devil is fastening his
poisonous fangs into the souls of
man and they go shrieking off to hell.
Let us not forget what the great man
said, who sits with the reins of the
greatest government on earth in his
hands, go home and strengthen
your churches in every way, for if the
local church is allowed to weaken
during these awful times when her
power is so needed, it will take i
generation to recover the ground
lost" These words were spoken to
one of the leading pastors of this
country after he asked Mr.. Wilson
what his church could do to help in
this great conflict. While the murder
mills are grinding and your boy,
your loved one or friend is thrown in
to the hopper and is soon to go down
never to be seen again only as his
spirit goes fitting by as one who
died to establish democracy and TO
hurl autocracy to hell, let US not for
get the great work at home. There
is work to do, there are hearts to win,
there are perishing souls to be saved
from SIM" If you are not willing to
do something, get out OF the way and
quit consuming good wholesome
food Let another have that that you
are consuming, some one who really
wants to do something. You have no
right to remain here in the way ii you
are not going to do something, My
friend, let MS be ZIP and doing. Your
country, your fellow man and your
God needs you. The church of Jesus
Christ stands out today as the great
est organized institution in the world.
Come or go to church every Sunday
and help i'll the greatest conflict of all
times. We arc going to launch 4
campaign for souls beginning .Aprli

written the title to be placed on the

The old year is gone and you can not
recall it. W!,a, you thought, said and

undone. That page is forever scaled.
All the good that you might do from

any film company, will be shown at
the Stanford Opera House on next

time and where the admission has
been as high in price at $3.50 per
seat. Manager Owens got a goot!

abled to show it for the small price
of Is and 25 cents, which is prob

Stanford People Should Know How
to Read and Heed Them

Disordered kidneys give many sig
mails of distress.
The secretions may be dark, con-
tain sediment.
Passages are sometimes frequent,
scanty. painful.
Rackache is often present day and
night.
Headache and dizzy spells may oc-
cur.
Weakened kidneys should receive
quick help.
Don't delay! Use special kidney
remedy.
Doan's kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys, backache and urinary dis
orders.
Stanford evidence proves their
worth.
w. H. Mershon. Lancaster Street,
Stanford. says: 81 suffered from at
tacks of kidney trouble and my back
was sore and lame and ached dread
fully. 1t was misery for me to do
any STOPPING or lifting. My sight
blurred and black spots came before
my eyes, dizzy spells came over me
suddenly and / would stagger like a
drunken man. The action of my kid
neys was too frequent most of the
time. Doan's Kidney Pills, from the
Lincoln Pharmacy went right to the
spot, relieving the backache and reg
ulating the action of my kidneys"

deeply grieved Thursday when the

had lived for several years. She
died at the home of her son, Joe
Newland, who holds splendid posi-
ton with railroad company. Mrs.
Newland had been ill for some time

those of the home. She was the
widow of John Newland, who for
years was agent for the L. & N. at
Pittsburg and after his death she was
agent for the same company at Grab
Orchard a long time and was a most
efficient and accommodating official.
The son mentioned above and a
daughter, Miss Annie Newland, who
has a position with the Proctor &
Gamble Co., Cincinnati, survive the
good woman. The burial occurred
near Elsah.. During last summer
Mrs. Newland visited her many

TWO EXCELLENT SPEECHES

Hon. H. Clay Kaufman and DR.. J.
l.. Norman of Lancaster, spoke at
an open session of the Crab Orchard
Liberty Service League last night
and made excellent talks. Each OF

and emphasized It as particular
duty to see that the boys who are
fighting our battles are well cared for
and that their dear ones left at home
shall be protected. Mr.. Kaufman
was the first speaker and for some
30 or 40 minutes he held his cudi-
ence as only a gifted speaker can.
Or. Moorman, who Is pastor of the
Lancaster Christian church, dwelt
particularly on the buying of Liberty
Loan Bonds and gave many convinc-
ing reasons why every citizen should
buy one and appreciate the privilege
OF doing so. He was especially Sc
we're on the man who could. but
would not buy bonds. Said he /:
Some times l wish could set aside
for few minutes my calling-that
of a minister of the gospel-that
might shake until his teeth shatter-
ed the man who is mean enough to
have money and not be willing to
invest it so that it will help his
country and at the same time help
help himself" The Baptist church
was well filed and the talks were
very greatly enjoyed.

SWINEBRoAD's GOOD SALE

That was a crackerjack sale that
Col. G. B. Swinebroad "pulled Off
Wednesday, when he sold the old
Swinebroad home place near Hubble
at $21O.55 per acre. There are 24O
acres in the tract and F. F. Fitzpat-
rick, who owns land adjoining, was
the lucky bidder. The place was at
first offered in tracts, but the amount
received for the whole was far in ex-
cess of that in parcels and of course
the latter bid was accepted. The
farm is an excellent one, and while
it sold for a small fortune, those
who know the land say it did not
bring too much. Bolivar Bond, of
Versailles, SOLD the land, but A.. NJ.
Bourne was THE auctioneer for the
stock, etc. Jersey cows sold at $50
to 500, hogs close to 2Dc per pound,
sows SIS to S85. A. bunch of year
ling heifers was taken down at S43
and 25 steers, averaging about 500
pounds went to J. d. .Whitehouse at
$63. The ladies of the Red, Cross
served an excellent dinner.

VANDALISM RAMPANT

The meanest work that we have
heard of vandals doing hereabout is
the destroying of the small trees in
the yards of Messrs. Hugh Noe and
Ed Wilkinson, on Lancaster street.
They made two visits to the Noe
home, the last time cutting down
three pretty shade prospects and
adding insult to injury, threw them
on the porch. These good families
are very much worried over such
treatment and are making every et-
fort possible to apprehend the guilty
parties.
