LOOKED FOR THE SUBSTANCE
Sermon Had In it World
of Meaning.

DR.. W. \. PrOttSman was a Meth
Odist preacher in Missouri for sixty
years and in his prime was known as
the Henry Ward Beecher of Missouri.
The clergyman used to tell the story.
of his first sermon, which was preach
ed in backwoods district in the
mountains of Virginia. He had pre-
pared an elaborate discourse and de-
livered it in what he thought was a
mastery way. After the sermon he
asked an old man in the congregation
what he thought of the effort.
''Tll tell you, pa'son," said the old
man. Eve uns up here in this neck

the committee met Superintendent A.
d. Lown for conference. 1t is UNI
derstood that all matters have been
adjusted except that of taking old
employees back and giving them their
former jobs and looms. This seems to
be the only stumbling block in the
way of a complete settlement at pres
ent. The strikers held meeting on
Thursday night and vote was taken
and 81 weayers voted to remain out.
At Mechanicsyille it is understood
that an advance of five per cent was
offered with an additional bonus Of
twenty per cent for over as hours NJ
to SIS hours, the time schedule the mill
is now operating. This was not &C.
ceptable to the strikers and they vos-
ed to continue the strike.

IL Is quite true. as Director Cortelyou

the idiotic Clamor in which some auto
mobile drivers appear to take a blustcr-
thg and blatant delight.

tailed in few days to enforce the
existing motor vehicle laws. which
clearly define when horns and sirens
should be blown and when they should
