When Vas Second
Presbyterian
Church Founded?

November II, 1892. was the date OF
the starting of the Second Presbyter-
ian church
Sunday school was held for the first
time by the congregation which later
grew into the Second Presbyterian
church, on that date, in room over
Brooks grocery.
Two years later the present Sunday
school room of the church was built,
and for ten years that structure serv-
ed for both church and Sunday school.
Rev. Stanley c. Hughes was the
first pastor, and left the church in
1902. He was succeeded by Rev. c. O.
Shirley, who served until 1907, when
Rev. R. M. Dunaway became pastor.
He in turn was succeeded by DR.. Thos.
G. McNary, and in 1913, Rev. E. E.
Davis, the present PASTOR took the
church.
On the twenty-ffth anniversary of
it's founding, four members of the
twenty-one original members were
still with the church, Mr.. Hamilton
Smith, Mrs. Anna Pond, Mrs. Kate
Jessup and Mr.. Oscar Porterfield

With excellent intentions, Mrs
Dibbs had undertaken to deliver a
course of lectures on hygiene to the
children of a certain poor district. She
gave, with much zest, six long lee
lures.
At the end of the sixth and last
she decided to ask few questions
in order to find out how much of her
wisdom had taken root. She only
asked one, hoxever, and then gave
up lecturing forever. Her question
was:
Now, why must we always be care
full to keep our homes spotlessly
clean?"
Because, mum, company might

The Basketball Tournament

The sectional basketball tournament to be
held here this week will bring a large number Of
high school players and rooters to Richmond.
The meeting has become an annual classic for
this section of the state.
The youthful enthusiasm of the students and
the energy they expend arouse the admiration
of the adults watching the contest as it progress
ses to the point where the winner is chosen for
the state tournament.
The friendly rivalry engendered between the
schools is commendable. It is noteworthy that
few sore spots are made by the sectional tourna-
ments and these wear off before the next con-
test is staged.
Richmond is to be complimented on the fine
spirit it has shown to the visitors in the past,
and there is no reason to doubt that the forth
coming tournament will be another manifestation
of this spirit of fair play and craftsmanship that
commands respect and makes for friendship.
After all, it is not the winning team that is
the only winner. The team that plays for sport
and enjoyment but takes its defeat manfully is
also a victor. defeated team that lost after
the expenditure of the best it had in it, needs no
pity and deserves censure. 1t did it's best and
more could not be asked of it.

THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate tc
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength. vigor
and Nerve Force

Judging from the countless prepare
tons and treatments which are con
tlnually being advertised for the pur
pose of making thin people fieshy, de
yeloplng arms, neck and bust, and re
placing ugly hollows and angles by the
soft curved lines of health and beauty
there are evidently thousands of men
and women who keenly feel their ex
| cessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually
due to starved nerves Our bodies
need more phosphate than is contained
in modern foods. Physicians claim
there is nothing that will supply this
deficiency so well as the organic phos-
phate known among druggists as bitro.
phosphate, which is inexpensive, and
is sold by Conkey Drug Co., in Rich
mond. and most all druggists under a
guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. By feeding the nerves directly
and by supplying the body cells with
the necessary phosphoric food ele-
ments, phosphate quickly pro.
duces a welcome transformation in the
appearance: the increase in weight
frequently being astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries
with it general improvement in the
health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and
lack of energy, which nearly always
accompany excessive thinness, soon
disappear, dull eyes become bright,
and pale cheeks glow with the bloom
of perfect health.
CAUTION: = Although bitro-phos-
phate is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness, sleeplessness and general
weakness, it should not, owing to its
remarkable 1esh-growing properties,
be used by anyone who does not desire
to put on fiesh.-Adv.

Buy Now

Residents of Wayne county should be inter-
ested in the nationwide campaign waged by the
United States council of national defense to buy
now articles and commodities that they need.
Postponement of purchases involves menace
that is related to the general industrial and labor
situation.
The Outlook analyses the appeal as follows:
1--WE have unemployment especially in the
Northern States according to Mr.. Clarkson, be-
cause outdoor work is suspended; workers on out
door improvements and in normal outdoor labor
have crowded into the congested cities, and arc
finding difficulty in getting temporary employ
ment
ITO this, said he, there is added the factor of
business hesitation-a normal condition in any
postwar readustment. To some extent prices
are declining, and men hesitate to buy materials
and supplies on falling market. This of course
means stopping work in some places and reduc-
ing the amount of work done in others.
FINALLY, the return Of soldiers in large num-
bers adds to the problem.

Indiana Legislature

The Indiana general assembly is rapidly COM
ing to close. Little be said in praise of the
work of the legislature in this session 1t is graft
flying to note that Wayne countys senator and
representative we'll as it's joint representative
performed their work conscientiously and really
tried to do their duty.
review of the session of the legislature re-
veals few commendable actions. In the main, it
has been blustery session of controversies while
the welfare of the state was of secondary consid-

cts peculiar peril at this time is because the
situation invites the activities of certain restless
elements, especially the Bolshevists. AS in
Europe, so in America, empty stomachs and
empty purses create opportunity for the Bolshe-
visits Their fellows, the /. w. w. agitators, seize
the same occasion.
"Now there is much business waiting to be
done in America. Private stocks are low. The
country's means are ample When the full flow
of private buying begins, there will be, wen-in-
formed observers prophesy, business for all. But
to bring it about months will be required.
"And yet action is needed now
"In the ultimate analysis, trade rests upon
the personal purchases of individuals If all were
to stop buying, there would be no business. In
normal times it is called good business to delay
buying until the market reaches bottom. But
these are not normal times-these days of de-
mobilization when many men are vainly seeking
work. We must save them from unemployment
and from what is worse, from the social conse-
quences to them and to the country.
"There must be no waste. We must still save
and at the same time must tap the springs of
commerce and avert the dangers from labor I'M

only what you need, but buy it now

WHY Not Conclude the Peace Treaty
at Once?

The spectacle offered to the nations of the
world by Congress in its closing days is a sad
commentary on both the Democrats and Republi-
cans. Neither can advance an extenuating ex-
cuse. In the long run the country, which includes
every citizen of the realm will suffer from the
consequences of the act.
The whole world wants peace. There is no
question about this. Germany needs peace, and
the quicker the terms of the peace treaty are
settled the better off all the allied nations and
Germany herself will be. Every obstruction
blocking the speedy execution of the treaty
should be swept away.
Germany will be forced to pay an enormous
indemnity. The quicker she is told what this
amount is, so that she can bring order into her
household and begin paying it off, the better off
will be France and Belgium who have suffered
most from the insane wrath of her war lords.
The people of the United States are divided
in their opinion on the League of Nations. Lead
ing men in the Republican party, including even
former President Taft, are staunch supporters
of the Wilson plan and conversely leading men in
the Democratic party are opposed to it. But this
is no reason why terms of peace should not be
dictated to Germany at once. Neither is it a
reason why few Republicans should resort to
filibuster methods to Impair the efficiency of
the government" and to "embarrass the finances
of the country"
In the last decades there has been an un-
healthy disposition on the part of the chief exc
cutves of the United States to arrogate to them
selves legislative and judicial authority that is
not vested jim them but placed by the founders of
the Republic in the hands of Congress and the
Supreme Court. The senate has resented the
program of President Wilson in going ahead with
his League of Nations without consulting it's
members or taking them into his confidence.
Admittedly, President Wilson has gone far
Their in this direction than any of his predeces-
sors but the world chaos may have been his
actuating motive. Full support cannot be accord
ed him for this action but nevertheless the trans
gression was not so fragrant that the Republi-
cans were forced measure of national de-
Tense to resort to filibuster movement that will
make the people pay for the action in the last
accounting.
Both sides should realize that the rights of
the people are worthy of some consideration at
least. Neither the action of the president in go
ing ahead full speed with his own program with
out consulting the senate, nor the filbuster
action of the Republicans will rebound to the
ultimate welfare of the nation.

In sum the simple fact is that Eur

voice they assert that to abandon the
League of Nations with its European
responsibilities now will be little less
than the abandonment of those who
died in Europe to establish American
ideals In the world. No country could
deserve the admiration America 70
ceives in Europe today and no coun-
try could afford to surrender that posi-
ton in the world which had been won
for it by devotion and achievement,
by unselfishness unparalleled in world
history; and to withdraw from Europe
now would be to sacrifice what seems
to be the greatest opportunity for hui
man service that has ever come to any
single people.
