Ii seems 10 be the the concen-

ers that since Rev. T.. I Hunt,
has taken an active part in the
Southern association and condemn
ed the old Mt. Olive association
and has dragged his church and
school into that organization, that
the s. 5. convention will have TO
be changed from DuQuoin to that
OF some other place. Ii is too bad
but il its the will of that church to
follow men off in the wrong, it is
our pleasure aud by the request OF
the President and others will seek
another location il such is the case
with that church
AS long as there are three
churches that stick to the old Mt
Olive Association. so long will this
association exist.

shall he also reap Yes. Elder
Daniels. you have struck the key
note IL is true that the fathers,
long years ago organized the Mt.
Olive Assn; the title was SO en-
deared to the Baptists in this end
of the state. that when the body
agreed todivide they ciang to the
name OF Mt Olive. However.
they were to be known as East
or West Mt Olive. or North or
South Mt. Olive The association
did not divide because OF conius-
ion but the confusion grew out OF
other things 1t divid, d because
the association was 100 large.
The fathers founded tas associ-
alton upon One Lord, One Faith,
aad One Baptism.
We frankly confess that the
churches. have a perfect fighl to
organize ifthey want to, but we
cannot believe they will follow the
uaholy alliance, Ct ? or y men

COLLEGE MAN LIVES
SIX DAYS IN GLASS BOX

Cambridge, Eng, May 1.--Joseph
Bancroft, reader of physiology at
Kings College here, has lived for six
days in a Theoretically sealed glass
box.
The experiment arose out Of 30
year-old controversy as to whether it
is possible to calculate the amount of
oxygen in the blood from a knowledge
of the amount Of oxygen in the breath.
The test was also made to demonstrate
whether it was necessary that air men
should have oxygen apparatus when
flying at great heights. It proved that
oxygen was necessary to flying men but
it did not show to what height they
could fly with safety.
While in the box Bancroft kept
record of his sensations and made
scientific observation. He said he suf-
fered from sleeplessness but otherwise
did not experience much inconvenience
except on the last day when the at
mosphere became extremely rarified.
He then had headaches and nausea. He.
was watched continually while in the
box. He took food and slept IN two
small compartments fitted up with
wicker chairs, table, small bed and
a bicycle on which he exercised every

THE OvERHAULING

If you are not in the very best of physical condition, this is the best time of the year to have yourself thoroughly examined by competent physician with an idea of learning what is wrong and having it remedied
 The illustration to show the con- trast between the care one bestows' on his automobile and his body is quite old and overworked, but it is none the less good.
 The careful autoist insists on the best of lubricating oils and fuel for his car and sends it to the shop at regular, intervals for expert care. But the same man is not so careful about the engine thatkeeps his won- derfui body moving and seldom thinks of it at all until there is complete breakdown. t
 'The good physician can usually de- tect signs of breakdown in the hu- man body long before the actual breakdown occurs and in majority or instances outline preventive meas ures. Many serious illness and un- timely death could be avoided if the average person would give the doctor chance to prevent, rathe, than to cure an ailment. Any time of the year is good time to heed this aovlce, but this season in particular since the weak, rundown body is ready prey for respiratory diseases that are so prevalent during the rig ors of a severe winter.

cd a much more responsive plea for
 normalcv than the nations front norch normalcy sponsor. Whether or
 not the reduction in Ford prices will
 affect the high cost of living, gen.
 orally is just as much question as 1 the plans of the peace ship to Europe was a plausible way of ending the war. MT. Ford was branded by some as a rank pacifist when he embarked on his Atlantic cruise and was "kid-
 ded" by diplomats for his interfer- ence, but the spirit manifested by Mr Ford was the same that ended the rayages in Europe, American arms
 gloriously exemplifying the cries for Ipeace in their victories over the ag- gressors.
 To many other automobile manu- lecturers Henry Ford has embarked
 on another "peace ship" expedition by announcing a reduction in the price of cars. Some have already an- nounced that his action will not af- feet the prices of other makes. On the other hand word that the prices
 of Fords are to be reduced and labor is not to suffer a cut of wages would indicate that the profits made on au-
 despite all appearances of prilan- thropy and MT. Ford's known incli- nations along that line it is to be pre- stunned that profit aid loss are care fully considered before the reduction was made. The action could be con- strued as a reflection of continued wartime price by manufacturers of automobiles, including even the Ford institution and the automobile in- dustry is kindred, in some respects to other lines of manufacture.
 Henry Ford's policy then must be admired by everyone who is wishing for return to normal prices and the downfall of the high cost of living. The fact that dealers are unable to supply enough cars at the present prices would indicate that Ford is not bedding for more sales.
 Henry's latest "peace ship" goes rattling right along and it might be this cruise will be more success full. Perhaps the craft-lower prices will drop anchor in the port of real normalcy and at least cause cap- tains of larger boats to unload their cargoes in competition and not com pei their stokers to bear the finan- cial loss.
