and directors have received a great deal
of encouragement from interested par
ties in other counties who feel that Ara
more is the best situated city in this
section to attempt to hold such an event.
The affairs of the association are in
first class shape, the judges have paid

CITY COMMISSIONERS
HEED REGULAR MEET
SATURDAY MORNING

The regular meeting of the board of
city commissioners, to have been held
Friday night, was postponed until Sat
urday morning on account of quorum
of the board not being present at the
regular hour.
The board met Saturday morning and
after the minutes of the previous meet
ing We're read and adopted, City Attor-
ney Brett introduced a resolution au-
thori2ing the mayor to employ w. b.
Johnson as assistant council in any lit
igaton the city might institute in the
future.
The question of repairs on the city
Jail absorbed most of the time Of the
mayor and commissioners at Saturdays
session.
Some time ago the city Jail was CON
demned in no uncertain terms, by the
assistant commissioner of charities and
corrections, and the mayor was notified
at the time that the city would have to
make some arrangements to provide a
better Jail and police station or serious
results might follow.
The mayor and commissioners are
confronted with a condition that calls
for some fine financiering. The city is
without funds with which TO do this
work and it is a serious question where
the cash is to come from, according to
ohtainable information. However there
is available about $1,l00 which can be,
it is said used for this purpose. and
Saturday Commissioner Fraley was au.
thorized TO make a contract to repair the
Jail.
Mr.. Fraley stated that he has figured
with contractors and finds that all nee.
essary work can be done for approx.
imately 500.
II has been the intention of the may.
or and city commissioners, for some
time, they allege, to make some needed
Improvements on the city hall, but that
seems out of the question at this time
and they say they will get along with
what they have until such time as funds
are available.
The appointment of Bert Parker as
night pumper at the city pumping plant
was confirmed by the board also the
appointment of Teddy Parker as lake
keeper, both to take effect October l.
The regular bills against the city were
audited and allowed. In the absence of
Commissioner Wilson. the bills in his de-
partment were audited by the other com.
missioners.

! On Friday evening, our evangelist who
is also a Sunday School specialist. dis.
cussed the need of world program for
Sunday School activity and also laid
particular stress upon the need and

He pointed out that real religion has

The world in these days is in close.

is imperative, in world affairs. ONLY
the religion of Jesus Christ can furnish
that balance. The world has had MANY

What have we to do with human life.

We are beginning to understand our

Have we learned of Christ so that
we know what religion is, what Chris.

NEW CARDINALS WILL
Be ANNOUNCED At
COMING CONS|STORY

Rome, Thursday, Sept. 2j.-At the
next consistory, it is probable the ap-
pointment of new cardinals will be
announced.
Reports seem 10 indicate that the
Red Hat will be given Monsignor
Kakowski. archbishop of Warsaw, Mon
signor Ragonesi, papal nuncio' at
Madrid; Monsgnor Nalfre di Bouzo,
nuncio at Vienna; Monsignor Sardi'
ambassador of the consistra congre-
CATION Monsignor Sill, vice chamber
lain of the church. and Monsignor
Cannasie patriarch of Constantinople.
1t is said that perhaps Monsignor San
Salvatore archbishop of Bahia, Brazil
may be a new cardinal.
No French prelates are to be elevat-
ed to the sacred college, it is said
France having already a larger mum
Der than is customary to grant her.
For the same reason there will be no
Spanish cardinal.
In the consistory of 1916 two cardi-
nails were created but their names We're
withheld. 1t was generally believed,
however, they We're Monsignors Huyn,
then archbishop of Prague, and Mon
signor Bertram, archbishop of Bres-
lau. but since then the former has re-
signed from his archbishopic, and the
latter owed his red hat to the fact
that Berlin was then capital of the
empire which comprised his jurisdic-
ton.
owing to the changes which have
occurred, Pope Benedict will probably
postpone further announcement of the
creation of these two cardinals.

HELEN TAFT URGES FORMATION
OF EDUCATIONAL UNION

Bryn Mawr, Pa, Sept. 27.-Miss
Helen Taft acting president of the Bryn
Mawr college, declared today in an
address before the alumni in an
ference in the Bryn Mawr campaign
for $1,000 900 to increase faculty re-
muneration that she wished the pro-
fessors of the country would organize
a union and strike for higher salaries.
She said that they had better case
than the ministers. Miss Taft holds
that the faculty Of Bryn Mawr and
other colleges are making the most
reasonable way possible to press their
claims. She said they are justified in
refusing to serve the country. Miss
Taft pointed out that she would not
object to a strike as a college execu-
tive because she said she believed it
would not be a strike against the col
lege executives, the college directors
or trustees but against the public,
which ought to be made to pay for its
education.
