Jzerinde Nathaniel, of Ogbomoso,
Africa, was reared and instructed
in the home OF Df. G. E. Smith, Bap-
list missionary, became a Christian
and so ambitious was he to learn
that after he had completed the
schools in Africa he came to Amer
lea and entered Virginia University
at Richmond, where he took off all
h~onors, at the same time workina
for all his expense money. He rel
turned to Africa and is vice-presi-
dent of the boys academy in his
home city,
4 day school in China, n of the
greatest evangelizing forces known
to the mission board, and which is
proving the PHYSICAL, moral, mental
and spiritual salvation Of the girls
whom it reaches can be maintained
for about $50.
If so large a work has been done
already, why the need of increas-
ing it through the Baptist rs Mil
lion Campaign? some may ask.
The answer is that the work that
has. been done in the homeland and
on the foreign fields is a very, very
small part of what needs to be
done. The cry for help is coming
up from hundreds of millions Of
helpless children in all parts of the
world who need and crave the priv
ileges and blessings of a great
Christian civilization such as you
ooyet for the children of your own.
1t is to help answer this call that
the campaign was launched. Other
interests rhan those of children
will be fostered at the same time.
OF tae 100000, 900 apportioned to
foreign missions a considerable
sum will go to sending more mis-.
%sionaries to foreign fields to pro.
claim the gospel to adults as well
as to children $4,000, 900 will go
to home missions for it's work
of evangelism, enlistment, church
building, mountain schools and the
Iihe in it's vast field, along with
special work among the foreigners,
Indians and Negroes; 81, 900, 900
will 90 to state missions in an eff
fort to win to Christ the $4,000, 900
unsaved white people within the
territory Of the Southern Baptist
Convention; $40, 000, 900 will be ap-
piled to Christian education in en-
larging and endowing the Baptist
educational institutions of the
South; $4,000, 900 will go to the hos
pitfalls; 400, 900 to the orphan
ages; and $2,50O,OO0 for the relief
of the aged ministers of the Bap-
fist church who have worn them.
selves out in the service of God on
salaries that have permitted them
to save nothing for old age.
But investment in the salvation
of the children will bear larger and
larger returns throughout the years
because millions of them will live
long enough to bless others and to
! raise up still other children who
t will pass on these blessings to 9TH
ers yet unbora.

Ever feel the thrill from the
chubby arms of a little child near
and dear to you as they eneircled
your neck in a fond embrace?
Or look into the beautiful frank
eyes of that little loved one and
contemplate the possibilities that
lie hidden in that soul, or what you
would not take in exchange for him
or her who bears your name and is
bone of your bone and flesh of your
flesh?
Then possibly you have expert
enced something Of that divine
spirit that prompted the Man of
Galilee to exclaim:
"Take heed that we despise not
one Of these little ones" and
st is not the will Of your Father
who is in heaven that one of these
little ones should perish"
And it is the belief of Southern
Baptists in giving a large place to
the welfare. and all-round develop
ment of children in the Baptist rs
Million Campaign that they are pur-

THE TEACHERS VACATION.

People who imagine that the school
teachers have long vacation entire
ly devoted to rest, and who on that
ground envy the school ma'am's lot,
do not realize how the majority OF
them spend their time.
Their salaries have been so low
that the greater part of them have to
work hard through the summer. Many
of them are daughters of farmers.
They return to help their mothers
through the rush Of the harvest sea-
son. Many wait on tables at summer
hotels and boarding houses. Also
many ambitious girls attend summer
schools in the hope of fitting them
selves for better positions. Instead OF
an array of fluffy summer clothes,
their modest trunks are weighted
down with ponderous volumes on ped.
agogy and psychology.
1t is not surprising that many teach
ers have nervous prostration. They
should not take life too seriously.
They need all the fun they can get in
holiday time.

State Water Bacteriologist Warns the
Public Against Polluted Well Wa

feet it before drinking. Recent rains"
Miss Zelma Zentmire, water expert
declares, "have brought the level Of
the ground water abnormally high
and even wells that are usually safe
are now in great danger Of being pol.
|luted. TT tt
Miss Zentmire states that the ma,
jority of samples sent to the Univer
sity of Iowa Within the past two
weeks for examination are from wells
which are markedly affected by heavy
rains and often from wells where the
water stands within ten feet OF the
surface. The rains of the last month
have caused the water to pass through
the soil too rapidly, or for too short
distance to insure proper publication.
II ground water is not purified by pas
sage through the soil, it must be
cleansed by artificial methods.
|, Natural publication of the water,
Miss Zentmire declares, cannot be ex-
pected to have taken place when the
depth is noticeably Increased after
heavy rain, when the water is tempor-
arily turbid after rain, or when the
level is so high that passage through
the ground may be for a distance OF
less than ten feet. ,.- W
To remove all danger the water bac'
teriologist suggests that the water be-
nh hn
five minutes. Even if samples or wa
ter from such wells have been sent to
the state laboratories and declared,
after being tested, safe, the we'll might
be made still pol1utedI Temporarily
and the water should be artificially
purified. One month after the water
has been tested and declared safe,
would be a sufficient time for the wa.
ter ITO become badly polluted under
conditions of rainfall such as in the
last few weeks.
Even wells in which the water is
not turbid after rain are not neces
sarily safe. Physical evidences OF po

Judge the safety of any water sup
ply the water chemist must examine

sample and assure herself that con.
ditions around the we'll are good. She
must analyze the water bacteriologi-
cally. and then must follow with a
chemist analysis which gives evil
dence of the condition of the water
in both the present and the past. A
well cannot be considered safe unless
every one Of these examinations show
no evidences of pollution.

SUDDEN DEATH
IN H0MAN HOME
Mrs. WaIter Homan, of Dow City,
Passes Away Some Time Friday
Night at Her Dow City Home.
WAS FOUND DEAD IN HER BED
Husband Not Aware Of Wife's Death
Until Calling Her in Morning.
Husband and Two Children Left.

DOW CITY, July 22-Special-On
Friday night, sadness came into the
Walter lHoman home when the wife
and mother suddenly passed away.
The deceased was apparently in her
usual good health and being taken so
suddenly makes her passing doubly
hard to bear. Early Sunday morn
ling, MI. Homan arose and started the
fire preparatory for breakfast. He
then called his wife and left the house
to attend to his chores. Upon return
ing later, he became alarmed in not
finding her up about the house and
going to her room, found that she was
no more. 1t is thought that she had
been dead several hours at the time.
Hilda Akofer was born at Des
Moines, Iowa, Dec. 8, 1882, and died
at her home near Dow City, July IL,
1919, at the age of Sc years, 8 months
and Is days. When about four years
of age, she moved with her parents
to Omaha, Nebr. On Sept. 3, 1907,
she was united in marriage with Wal
ter Homan, and to this union two chill
dren were born, Charles and Lois.
The 'Homans moved to the vicinity OF
Dow City five years ago, since which
time they have made many friends
here. When about fifteen years OF
age, Mrs. Homan accepted Christ as
her personal Savior, and united with
the Baptist church in which she was
a most faithful worker. She will be
greatly missed in the home and church
and in her wide circle of friends. Her
sudden death was shock to all. She
leaves to mourn her early demise, her
husband, son, Charles, and daughter,
Lois, her mother, Mrs. Rose Akofer,
and a sister, Miss Margaret Akofer,
of Omaha, two brothers, Charles, OF
Waller, Mont, and Andrew, Of York,
Nebr., besides numerous friends.
The body was brought to the Bap'
tist parsonage Saturday and the fun

! CHARTER OAK
Denison's New Baseball Club Motored
to Charter Oak Sunday and Wal
loped the Oak Bunch.
JOHNSON AND LOCKE BATTERY
Local Team Made Fine Showing In
First Game-Demonstra They
Can Wallop the Old Ball.

The Denison Ball Club went to
Charter Oak last Sunday and defeated
the Oak team, by the score of to 3,
in a we'll played game. While it was
the first game for the home boys, they
managed to show Charter Oak few
things about handling the old bat and
a few other fine points of the game.
Practically every Denison player man
aged to get from one to two hits, and
routed the Oak pitcher in the eighth
inning under an avalanche of long
hits. If the boys can keep up wallop-
ing the ball like they did Sunday, they
are bound to make life miserable for
some of the pitchers they expect to
meet in the near future. r.
While Denison's fielding was ragged
in spots, they managed to put over a
couple of double plays, and with a
couple of weeks practice, they will no
doubt be working like. clockWork.
Johnson and Locke were the battery
for Denison and they worked together
like old timers, Johnson holding the
Oak bunch to four scattered hits dur
ing the game by the use Of his
splitter, and a nice assortment of
curves. Only in the ninth was he in
real danger when the Oak first base
man hit for three bases, but the rally
did not last as he made the next bat
ter hit into double play. Locke
caught great game and demonstrat-
ed that he is the best catcher Denison
has had for number of years. He is
a good hitter and has a wonderful arm,
and makes the opponents hug the
bases. -s
Denison has arranged for number
of games in the near future and every
body should get out and support the
home club During the war we had
no ball club and the enthusiasm, was
not very high, but with sthe return of
the soldiers, the old game is coming
back into it's own, and Denison has a
