George Patterson Enter. Ministry

George Patterson Enters Ministry
 Geo. W. Patterson, for years head of the farm implement and machinery department of the Mixon-McClintock Company, has resigned his position with that firm and has entered the ministry. At special services con- ducted at the Christian Church in this city recently, with the pastor, Rev. K. V. Saylor officiating, Mir. Patterson was formerly ordained to preach. After the ordination ser vices l.. A. Spivey delivered the charge of the church and Rev. Say Tor delivered the pastoral charge. MT. Patterson stated the time had come in his life when he felt it his duty to enter the ministry and that he had made up his mind to devote all his time and his talents to the work. In taking this step Mir. Pat terson has the very best wishes of thousands of friends all over this section of the state. He has given up a very lucrative position to en- ter upon a work that at best does not pay more than a living salary. For several years Mir Patterson has been preaching at odd times and for many years he has been one of the staunchest members of the Chris tian church. He is a splendid, stall wart, thoroughly donsec lated man and Christian, the son of a very able Christian minister. His spotless life his knowledge of the Bible and his experience in church and religious activities peculiarly fit him for a career of usefulness in the minis try.

New York, Sept 13.-That the wo-

to keep them from eating, and the
only way to do this to change the
present municipal service in such IA
manner that the garbage cans which
are set out on the sidewalk by each
family be collected and emptied at
night instead of in the morning.
Resting as these garbage cans do,
on the sidewalk all night, the rats
have both the advantage Of time, OF
darkness, and of the absence of peo-
pie on the street, in which to eat
their fill therefrom. If these garbage
cans were collected and emptied at
night, instead, Paris would be free
of rats within a week. They would die
of starvation
While Professor Bordas' Fochson-
ian offensive against the rats is un-

has decided to grant the public health
department sufficient funds in which
to undertake, should it be so decided

Wichita Falls to

Houston. Texas, Sept. 1l.-Confed-

Texas, have fallen into rare luck

Wichita Falls will be paid for the

But that is not liberal enough for
a town full of oil money. Every
veteran will be fitted out with a

wear to the reunion
Not even that is thought suffi-
cient. To guide each old fellow and
look after his comfort. Boy Scout

one has read of the tremendous
battle between allied warships and
Turkish forts at the Straits of the
Dardanelles early in the World War
but it has remained for the Thearle-
Duffield Fireworks Display Company

Exposition beginning on the night
of September 27 this fireworks re-
production of the most spectacular
sea and land fight of the war will
be shown nightly.
The huge pageant beginning with
450 foot panoramic view of the
historic Dardanelles, complete in
every feature. shows the battle of
the allied fleet with the German
raiders Goeben and Breslau from the
moment they dash from the shelter
of the Turkish guns until they are
sunk and beached.
Another part of the spectacle
shows naval parade of the war
ships used by all nations at various
times in the worlds history from the
Roman galley to the modern fight
ing machine.

BY HENRY WOOD

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent. }
Paris, Sept l. (By Mail.) Poor
Paris is particularly unlucky this
summer.
She had counted absolutely on a
veritable invasion of rich Americans
who would spend enough of their
good hard dollars in France to cause
the rate of exchange to readjust
As matter of fact, owing to the
lack of steamships, only very
limited number of Americans has
come
And now in place of this very de-
sirable invasion, Paris finds herself
invaded with rats. Health special
lists and newspapermen who have
been peeping into the subject place
the number of rats now in Paris at
about S,0OOOOO.
As matter Of fact the rats have
all been here for some time past,
but no one thought about them until
few cases Of pest were discovered
about the city. While it was quickly
established that these cases were
purely sporadic and were easily iso-
lated, it was pointed out that If
Paris 100000 rats should suddenly
take it into their heads to see what
they could do in the matter of pro-
pagating the pest or some other
disease, they might make consider
able headway before the Paris health
authorities, in a counter offensive,
could pull off another battle of the
Marine.
AS result Of the necessity Of put
ting the rats out of business, Paris
is developing a number of health
strategists whose plans are so hardy
and as promising as were those of
Joffre himself at the Marne
One of the strategists, Professor
Bordas says it is as easy as pie. He |
says he can starve out the whole |
100000 in week. His campaign of
action is as follows:
Up to the present time we have
never engaged in a serious battle i'll
France against the rats. From time
to time we have let loose an occas-
lonal offensive but never with any
spirit of continuity and never with
any appreciable gains. 1t is now
highly important that we take
well-defined plan of defense.
Now the quickest and best way
OF getting rid of the rats is not to
devise ways and and means to kill
them, but to devise ways and means

The Kind OF Armor Uncle Sam

sermon preached by Rev Ben Cox on
Sunday night at Central Baptist church.
He said;
During the recent world war Uncle
Sam achieved an unprecedented success
in the organization Of a great army
and transporting II to the other hemt-
sphere. Many Of his critics seemed to
forget how short notice he had and
how many handicaps he confronted; but
the greatest help Uncle Sam rendered
the allies was the large number of peo-
pie on the battlefield, and in the homes
OF Americans who believed in a prayer
hearing and a prayer answering God.
"One Of the great ally leaders said
to another when an unexpected victory
had been won, Somebody has been
praying Generalssimo Foch did much
in actively commanding the allied
forces. The secret OF his power was
revealed. however. when an American
soldier found him praying for IS min
