Most Inspiring Service Of the Series
Held Last Night When Pastor
Evangelist Preached on "The
Closed Door,

The most inspiring service OF the
campaign was that at the Third Street
M. Il. Church Friday evening. The
sermon on "The Closed Door was 80
earnestly and powerfully delivered
that 1t made deep impression on the
audience The line of difference be-
tween those whose have entered the
door and those who are not ready
were so plainly drawn that not one
could fail to find where he or she
stood. 1t was sermon calculated to
make folks think, and to think SER
iously. The pastor Is trying earnest
ly to put the burden Of the success OF
the meetings upon the hearts Of the
membership. The preacher may
preach earnest, heart-searchlng SER
mons, and the chorus may sing their
very best, yet IL there is no response
in prayer and effort on the part Of the
church the desired harvest will not
come.
The largest Choir of the meeting was
present last evening. About fifteen
men were in the male chorus that
sung with such success "The Church
in the Wildwood" In all the chorus
singing the harmnoy was fine. The
leaderIMr. Dodds was more than
pleased with the response and is
greatly encouraged at the prospect for
the increased success of the chorus
for next weeks meetings.
Services this evening at 1880. A
mixed quartet composed Of the Misses
Jones and Messrs. Carpenter and
Richardson will sing Jesus Leads"
The theme for the sermon will be "a
Call to Repentance" Saturday night
is a good night to go to church. Do
not miss this helpful service. Then
be ready for big day Sunday. The
musical program for Sunday will be
the best yet.

Mr.. J. W. EvanE former we'll

ence on cotton

J. W. Evans, John T. Scott and A. l..
helms 60 70 Washington where on
January II and 1s they will attend a
conference Of cotton growers, cotton
factors, spinners and bankers.
At the conference 1t is expected to
formulate plan to to standardize the
cotton trade Of the world and to in
stitute measures to meet new condi-
lions imposed by peace and the re-
construction Of international COM
merce.
The conference is really sort of
prelude to an international confer
ence which will be held this summer
in some Southern city (perhaps Hous-
toni, to which delegates will be in
vited from every nation with which
the United States has reciprocal trade
relations.
This second conference is expected
to determine the terms governing the
exporting of cotton. Under previous
conditions, each nation has required
special conditions, some Of them on
erous and expensive to American
shippers. Standardizing conditions of
shipping will be sought.
The Washington conference came
about through the suggestion of East
ern spinners, who enlisted the inter-
est of the national and state govern
ments in the meeting. Five delegates
were named by the secretary of agri-
culture. Governors of each of the cot
ton growing states named delegates
and the important caotton exchanges
selected representatives, Houston,
Dallas and Galeston being the Texas
exchanges represented. Banks are al
so to be represented at the conference.
The three Houston delegats will be
sponsors for the following interests:
]. W. Evans, Texas Cotton Associa-
tion John T. Scott, Southern bankers,
and A. L. helms, the Houston Cotton

Harlan, KY, January "a = Miss
Edith Scott, of New York, teacher in
the school since September, and three
boys, Gilbert Walker, Almon Huff, and
Lands Hall, all under fifteen years Of
age were burned to death early Fri
day morning when Burkham Hall, at
the Pine Mountain Settlement School
in Harlan county, was destroyed by
fire. One of the boys lost his life while
try to rescue Miss Scott from the
burning building A boy named CAL
lahan, who jumped from a window
two stories from the ground, was Sc
verely injured, and other children
were also hurt in attempting to es-
cape.
(, The fire started about 2:30 o'clock
Friday morning, probably from de-
fective furnace, and everything in the
hall, which served as dormitory for
about twenty boys and several teach
ers, was destroyed, the occupants be-
ing unable to save their clothes. The
entire building burned in an hour, but
none of the cottages, dormitories or
other buildings caught fire. When
Miss Scott and the boys were discov-
cred to be missing 1t was thought that
they might have wandered into the
woods in the, confusion, as the school
buildings are near Pine Mountain

Mr.. Hoover said. "The development
OF radicalism in Europe during the last
twelve months is beyond anything in
history. America is a fertile field and
responds quickly to any wind that may
blow. This European wind of radical
ism is sweeping our way and it is af-
fecting us.
In our great universities the in

hit by the present economic situation
which in the face Of enormous prosper

the educator, while the craftsman who
repairs his kitchen sink makes pnore

citizen must see it."
MP. Hoover declared other fndepend-

follow Harvards example in seeking to
raise an endowment for increasing
teachers salaries so to 100 per cent,
and that state legislatures should take
like steps for faculty members In state

VETERANS HEAR MANY
MISLEADING STATEMENTS

81 have been informed" writes e
boy from Mississippi, "that all sol
der boys would receive $3.50, or $50
month for u months. Please
write me if this is true"
1t is true that the Federal Board
of Vocational Education, to whom
this letter was sent, retrains disabled
service men in order that they may
become selfrsupporting citizens. 1t
places them in schools, colleges and
institutes, and pays the expense. The
sums paid range from $50 month
for single man, to one hundred and
fifty dollars a month for married
man, depending upon the number of
his dependents.
The training is not limited to IL
months but is given for the length
OF time that it takes to complete the
course to which the man is assigned.
The courses vary for several months
to four years.
The Mississippi boy who wrote the
letter did not say that he was dis
abled. If he is not disabled, the Fed
eral Board of Vocational Education
cannot, under the present laws which
govern its operations, do anything
for him. He viii have to look to
Congress for help, and Congress is
now considering the cases of veter-
ans who did not receive a disability. /

Use of DRINKING Water

Drink whatever water you desire
with meals, but do not take ice water,
and do not use water merely to wash
food down your throat. Water aids di-
Eestion by helping to liquefy the food
and by bringing the gastric juices into
closer contact with the food particles.
Water does not affect the engines and
weaken them by dilution as some peo-
pie maintain, because the power of the
enzym depends not on the percent
age W Oh is present, but upon their
total mount and chemical compost
