SINNERS characterization Of Peter
Barban. calling him before the cur
tain no less than nine times at the
concluclusion OF the second act. And
The Rise of Peter Barban," the Joint
work of Mrs. Skinner and Jules Good

with charm, and containing an appeal
to the fundamental emotions such a.
must endear it to, the average play
goer.
prologue introduces Pietro Bar
bano on trial on a charge Of killing
his wife. He is an Italian who neither
speaks nor understands English. Ac-
quilted, he takes his four-year- old
daughter and departs into a stormy
night. Eighteen years later he is
found in California as Peter Barban,
wealthy and respected land owner,
with the baby now a beautiful young
woman of twenty-five.

with the characteristics of Mr.. Skin
ner's acting know just what posi-.
bilities there are for him in a swag-

Latin-American millionaire, passion
ately fond of his daughter, and keep
ing carefully from her the tragic story
of his life.
Matters are complicated by a love
affair between Peters daughter, An
gelo, and the son of the district at
torney who had prosecuted Peter on
the murder charge, and by the appear
ance of the supposed murdered woman
at most inopportune time.
Though called a comedy on the pro-
gram. and containing, indeed, many
lines and situations that give rise to
mirth, it Is in the essentially serious
portions of the play that the chief in
terest lies.

parts capably handled, and some really
beautiful settings complete a very
successful performance.

Are you used to thinking OF wo-
mans part in church work as mere
ly that Of going to Sunday School,
prayer meeting and preaching serv-
ices, giving pink teas occasionally
in honor of distinguished visitors,
and chicken or oyster supper now
and then to raise funds for a new
suit of clothes for the poorly-paid
pastor? Q
If so, probably you have not been
to church recently.
Since the Southern Baptist wo.
men began their organized work
through the Woman's Missionary
Union they have contributed more
than $5,000,000 in cash to the yari-
Gus causes fostered by the demoni-
nation, and when the value Of boxes
they have made up for orphan chill.

added their total contributions reach
the sum Of $5,71O,433.71.
Encouraged by the general spirit
of the Baptist rs Million Campaign,
however, the women gladly assumed
the task of raising s15,0OO,000 dur
ing the next five years, or one-fifth
the total sum sought in the cam;
paign, and their leaders have no
doubt that they will raise every cent
of this amount and more.
And the women's part of the
money is going to be raised through
the hard work, earnings and sacri.
fices Of the women themselves and
not through sums contributed by
the men Of their families.
Legitimate Giving Will Raise Fund.
Nor are the women going to de.
pend upon church suppers, fairs, ba-
zaars, ice cream socials, pink teas
and things Of that kind to assist
them in their undertaking. All such
methods of raising money for relig.
ious purposes are frowned upon by
the leaders Of the Woman's Mission.

work, sacrifice and save in order
that they may during the next five
years give $15,O00,O0O to the ad.

Profiteering Will
Bring Bad Situation

Washington, Aug. l6.-Warning
was given Saturday by representa-
tives of farmers organizations testi-
tying before the house and senate
agriculture committees that unless
present disturbed conditions result
ing from profiteering "in goods and
wages" and strikes were settled
soon the country would face a far
worse situation from the high cost
of living next year than at present.
Farmers, they said. were prepar-
ing now for next years crops and
under present conditions they could
not estimate what the probable mar
ket would be. Fear was expressed
that there would be decreased pro-
duction, both on this account and
on account of President Wilson's
statement in his message vetoing
the repeal of the daylight saving
law, placing industrial production
ahead of farm output

TWO BANDITS ROB
DRUG STORE WHILE
SCORES PASSING
Proprietor and Wife Held Up
at Point of Guns and
Till Looted.

While scores of people drove by
in automobiles two unmasked men,
at the point of pistols, forced John
7, McMannis, proprietor of the
Prettiest Mile drug store. Twentieth
and Ames avenue, his wife and a
customer to stand by while they
robbed the till of more than $50.
Mrs. J. H. Wilson, 2405 North
Twenty-eig avenue, watched tine
loldup, from an automobile outside
the store and was afraid to give IN
alarm.
McMannis and his wife were wash
ing dishes at the soda fountain when
the two men stepped into the store.
One of them exhibited gun to Nj, 5.
McMannis and bade her in a calm,
assuring tone, to keep quiet"
The other man walked behind the
counter and pressed his gun TO
McMannis' side.
McMannis put his hands over mis-
head.
Keep your hands DOWN. sharp
~ ordered the holdup, as he struck
Nc cMannis across the forearm with
Ills revolver.
The robbers knew that passersby
would take notice if they saw Nc
Mannis' hands up.
Mrs. McMannis continued wash
ing glasses while the bandits
worked.
J. H. Wilson. colored, husband
of the woman who watched the rob
tery from an automobile, entered
the store during the holdup and the
man guarding Mrs. McMannis
backed him up against the wall but
did not rifle his pockets.
According tel McMannis, both
men were calm and almost gentle
manly in their manner.
After they had emptied the cash
register they walked leisurely east
on Ames avenue, while Mrs. Ne
Mannis called the police.
McMannis had taken $40 into his
living room adjoining the store just
before the robbers entered.
The police believe the men had
an automobile a few PAGES down
Ames avenue.
