AUDITORIUM IS
AGAIN DELAYED
City May Have to Readvertise
Bond Issue Owing to Con
tract Clause.

Another complication which may de-
lay the beginning of work or the new
city auditorium and market house has
arisen.
J, C. Thomson, New York bond ex-
pert, has refused to approve the city's
part of the $3.50, 600 bono issue, because
of a clause in the bid of the Commercial
Trust and Savings Bank.
The string tied to the bid provided
that the funds should be kept in the
bank without interest until drawn out
for actual construction work. The ad-
vertisement called for bids without any
such proviso.
The city will ask the bank to with
draw its formal bid and take over lhe
city's share of the bonds. $S75, 600, on a
similar contract to be made direct with
the auditorium commissioners whether
the bond issue will then be approved by
Mr.. Thomson remains to be seen. Law
yers familiar with bond matters believe
that bids must be readvertised.
The county bonds, similar In amount
to those to be issued by the city, were
sold to the Guaranty Bank and Trust
company and have been delivered and
the funds are drawing interest. j. Al
Heard, chairman of the county court,
however, will not turn over the funds
to the auditorium commissioners until
the city's funds are ready also for de-
livery &
The auditorium commissioners also
say that no step has yet been taken by

came, however, just at the close OF

that no great damage resulted. Corn
and potatoes that were frostbttten are
coming out satisfactorily. Peaches and
apples were killed Ia many localities,
but probably the general outlook is for
fair crops. Strawberries were damaged
considerably in places, but the present
condition seems fair to good. They
are being marketed from the western
area and are ripening in the east. Corn

corn is UP and doing well. the most

pastor Of the McLemore Avenue church,
Of Memphis, who spoke on Equipment
for Service" In opening his address
DR.. Kemper laid special emphasis on
the great need just now of a deeper
and more abiding faith in the things
that can not be shaken. The want of
an effective confidence In the things
that can not be shaker is the hidden
root of Europe's agony today said he.
God has left no man without a gift OF
some kind. The difference between men
is not so much in the at their
command, as in the command of their
resources. The world today is poorer
because OF the unused talents Of her
ess by which men are educated up to
their possibilities. The reason why
there are so many practically useless
church members In all of our churches
today is because they do not know how
to use their resources. We are losing
our power because we are negleCting
the power of the Holy Spirit. We need
to feel more our dependence upon God
for help and strength and the leader
ship Of His blessed Spirit in all we at
tempt to do for Him" The service last
