Ward Delivers Sermon.
DR.. ]. B. Ward, presiding elder Of the
Methodist Episcopal church, south,
Chattanooga district, delivered q
forceful sermon, with "Consecration"
as his theme. He called attention to
the wonderful success of the recent
Centenary drive. In discussing tith-
ing, he said people were not 100 per
cent. tithers until they tithed both
their time and money. DR.. Ward told
of young woman who was converted
by the Salvation Army. He stated that
he had heard 1t said the Salvation
Army was doing a work that the
church could not do. He declared
that was wrong; that the Salvation
Army was doing that work because
the church would not do it. He said
the worst women and the meanest
men once belonged to the Sunday
school and mentioned Investigations
In supporting this assertion. "In five
or six blocks of your churches are
people who have not had an invita-
ton to attend" said DR.. Ward.

if some people gave to business the
same service they gave the church
they would be discharged in short
order.

Battles the Nashville Police

Nashville, Sept. 3.-With" the ex-
animation of six or more persons
seen last Thursday night in the
neighborhood of Belle Meade Park,
near which the body of Robin J.
Cooper, prominent Nashville attor-
ney. was found in Richland creek
with his skull crushed Saturday
morning, police late Tuesday an
nounced that they were still without
single clue to the most battling
murder case that has confronted the
local authorities in years.
1--WE are without spark of a clue
and the mysterious murder becomes
more battling each day." said Alex
Barthell, chief of police. I'VE are
still working on the bottles theory,
on account of the recent relations
Cooper had with Nashville liquor
statesmen. We know that Cooper
often bought liquor from local boot
leggers, but we are far from being
on a hot trail" the chief said.
Cooper, who gained nationwide no
toriety by the killing of former
United States Senator Edward Car
mack was called from his home on
the Harding road last Thursday
night by some man whose identity
has not been learned.
On the following Saturday his body
was found in a creek about mile
from his home, with his skull crushed.
His blood stained automobile was
near the body.
Cooper was well known to the man
who called at his home the night of
the murder and with whom he went
away in his automobile, and heated
argument over some transaction pre-
coded their departure.

1t May Not Be Troubling You
During the Warm Weather,
But 1t Is Still in Your Blood.

Catarrh is not only a disgust
ing disease, but is a dangerous
one, and you should never lei
up in your efforts to get it out
of your system until you have
done it thoroughly. Get rid of
it, whatever it costs you in trou-
bic and money.
There is no use in permitting
yourself to be deceived Per-
haps, like thousands of Others
afflicted with Catarrh, you are
about ready to believe that the
disease is incurable, AID that
you are doomed to spend the re-
mainder of your days hawking
and splitting, with no relief
in sight from inhamed and
stopped-np air passages that
make the days miserable and
the nights sleepless.
Of d,urse, this all depends
upon W ether or not you are
willing t continue the old-time
make-shi, methods of treat
ment thai -ou and many other
sufferers nave used for years
with no substantial results.
You must realize that the dis
ease itself, and not it's symp-
toms, is what you have to cure.
Of course, you know that when
you are cured of any disease its
symptoms will disappear.
Catarrh manifests itself by
inham nation of the delicate
membranes of the nose and air
passages, which choke up and
make breathing very difficult.
To get rid of these distressing
effects you must remove their
cause.

A STRANGE COUNTRY

Mrs. Ida Marshall Holder, who
spoke at the Baptist church Sunday
evening, lives in India. At present
she is on furlough and is a guess
at the home of Rev. and Mrs. Colyer
Mrs. Holder was Blackfoo
school teacher some five years agr;
now she is teacher Of civilization
in Midnapore, India, a city about
twenty miles west of Calcutta, where
she has charge of the work of a
number of missionaries. Inasmuch
as the young girls of India marry
at the tender ages of eight, ten
twelve years, and from the hour of
marriage are kept from the public
sight hidden away in their homes,
perpetual prisoners, there is much
work to do teaching them as the In
dian boys are taught. Since they
cannot come out the teachers go to
them, and teach them English and
arithmetic, sewing and sanitation.
In Midnapore ice is unknown and
most of the year has a sweltering
temperature. One longs for ice
cream, and wonders why anybody in
America should wish for further
blessing than just living here. The
city has no sewer system. 1t is gov
erned by native administration.
The caste system in India is the
original hard-and-fast. Born into
one stratum of society one never
dreams of changing by graduation.
One is proud of ones own caste.
When the FLU" hit India, and it was
almost impossible to carry off the
bodies, they fell in such numbers,
1t was the duty of the bottom class
to carry them off. So there is al
ways somebody to do what nobody
else will, in India. The top class is
that of the Brahma, or priest. He
is always comfortable and well off,
tho he live in the center of starving
immunity. There is no charity in
the Indian character. 1t is said
that half of India is starving all
he time, and there are 400 millions
of people. No matter how poor, they

Mrs. Holder says the natives are
very restless, plotting against the
English for home rule. There are
many Y. M. G. AS in India, doing
good work, and offering homes for
and other whites.

BINGHAM COUNTY WIN
MING A GOOD REPUTATION
Good Sale of Bonds Attracts Much
Attention

j. B. Evans is the man who looks
after the taxes of the Oregon Short
Line. He works for a soulless cor
poration, yet he is very much of a
human being. If tax that has
been levied is just and legal, he pays
it, and if it is not, he sometimes pays
| it anyhow.
Sometimes a school district levies
tax that is not legal, or there may
De a flaw in bond sale, and if
Fr. Evans finds something of this
kind and feels like refusing payment
of the company's taxes, he first con-
siders whether it is going to deprive
children of their education or some
thing they need, and if refusing to
pay the tax would make matters hard
for children he keeps still and pays
it.
Mr.. Evans is quite a student of
all things pertaining to taxes and
disbursement of tax money. He can
ceil interesting stories of wasting and
grating of public funds, and on ac-
count of the vast number of articles
this paper has published on those
matters in Bingham county, Mr..
Evans and the editor of The Repub-
lican have become pretty we'll ac-
quainted, for he reads our paper,
and has spread out many documents
on his desk in Salt Lake so the editor
II this paper could study them and
learn the methods by which public
money is wasted. He read our article
about our good bond sale of last
month, and wrote the following let
ter to two editors in Idaho:
Salt Lake City, Utah, June 10.
Mr.. Byrd Trego, Editor, Republican,
Blackfoot, Idaho.
Mr.. M. B. Yeaman, Editor Register,
Idaho Falls, Idaho.
Gentlemen: y
The recent sales of bonds by Bing-
ham county and by Idaho Falls are
quite notable as showing the differ
ent financial methods of adjacent
territory.
Bingham county sells 5000, OOO> 5
per cent bonds at premium of $3.50,
or 0.608 per cent.
For purpose of comparison of the
first years cost, take $175, 00O-in
terest 5 per cent-$8750 less bonus
$1O64 gives $76S6, as cost to tax
payers the first year
Idaho Falls sells bonds, taking
warrants at par, which ARE to be
handled at 95 cents"
Take $175, 0O0-interest per
cent-$10500 plus discount on war
rants $3.50, gives $19,25O as cost
to taxpayers the first year.
In other words, for the same &C
comodation, $175,O00, Bingham
county pays for the first year $685..
Idaho Falls pays for the first year
$19,250.
And for subsequent years Bingham
county $3.50 and Idaho Falls $780,
500.
Evidently Bingham county is to be
congratulated upon the financial
ability of her officials.

"UNPARDONABLE SIN"
RECORD SCREEN EFFORT
Picture Version Of Major Rupert
Hughes Story Has Created
Tremendous FurOre

Surprising in importance any pre-
vious moving picture event of the
year will be the engagement of THE
objectionable Sin," Harry Garsonss
extraordinary epic photoplay, star
ring Blanche Sweet, under the per-
sonal direction Of Marshall Neilan,
at the Orpheum, Thursday and Fri
day, June 10 and 20. Three shows
daily will be given at $50, 100 and
9.15 p. m.
THE objectionable Sin" is one
of the most pretentious screen plays
that has ever been attempted, and
has been completed after months of
painstaking effort and with the ex-
penditure of more real, money than
has been enlisted in the aid of any
photoplay produced within the past
five years. 1t is a brand-new pro-
duction,> and just now is having its
initial runs in the important theatres
in the east.
Those who are familiar with the
important books which have been
published during the past couple of
years will identify the big Carson
icture as an adaptation from the
powerful story by the same name,
written by Major Rupert Hughes,
which first appeared in serial form
in the Red Book and was later pub
lished in book form to achieve a
reputation as @ 'best seller"5 which
has been surpassed by few novels
offered the reading public. The story
has been spoken of as one of the
most powerful tales of love and ad-
venture which has ever been written
and reviews of the picture made by
important critics thruout the country
pay high tribute to Director Mar
tall Neilan when they say that here
is one of the rare instances when
the photoplay version is even more
powerful and gripping than the origi-
nal narrative.
When they see ''The objectionable
Sin" moving picture devotees will be
particularly interested in the work
Of the star, for the reason that in
Miss Blanche Sweet it brings back
to the screen a favorite who had
thoroly established herself before re-
firing for long and much-needed
rest. Miss Sweet won her spurs in
some of the biggest and best pic
lures ever produced by David Wark
Griffith, who has since given to the
public such big things as "The Birth
of Nation" Intolerance" and
Hearts of the World Marshall
Neilan, who directed her in the new
picture, is conceded to rank equally
high with Mr.. Griffith, and it is not
strange then that Miss Sweets per-
Torrance in 1.-THE objectionable
Sin" seems to indicate that her alb
sence from the screen TO rsome time
has improved rather than impaired
her powers as dramatic actress.
In support of Miss Sweet, Mr..
Carson has assembled cast of I'M
usual strength, prominent among
whom are Matt Moore and Wallace
Berry. adv
