NEW WATfRWORKS
 SYSTEM ASSURED
PETITIONS COMPLETED
Ample Majority in Value is Secured for New District, in Opinion of
 Mayor Cole.

The final roundup in the water works campaign has produced the de- sired results, and the organization of a new improvement district for the purpose of reconstructing the present water system is now assured, Mayor w. D. Cole said this afternoon. The second petitions, he stated, now con tain an ample majority in value of the real estate in the city, and will be presented at a meeting of the city council specially set for that purpose, on next Wednesday night.
 All this week the mayor has led an intensive campaign to secure the sig natures of property-owners to the pc titions. The first canvass was com pleted several weeks ago and it was then thought that a majority had been secured and the canvass was tenn porarily dropped. Later it developed that on account of hundreds of trans fers of property to new owners since the most recent county tax books were made up, majority was still lacking. This weeks canvass has been mainly among the new owners, and, as was the case in the first canvass, the so- licitors met with very few refusals to sign.
 Following the official determination of the necessary majority by the city council, a board of three commits sioners will be appointed by the coun- cil, clothed with authority to employ engineers and make up an estimate of the cost of the proposed improve ment. The council will then make a levy of this cost upon the real estate of the city and authorize the issuance of bonds with which to pay for the i'm provement.

SIDELIGHTS on NEXT SUNDAYS
Lesson for Teachers and Pupils.
Edited by CHARLES X. MEYERS.

June G. Saurs Failure. I Sam. Is,
1923.
We have to consider this week the
character OF Saul, the first KING OF
Israel. We will all recall how when a
young man Saul was chosen king. lie
was told of this when he met Samuel
the prophet. We remember that Saul
was very humble, saying there must
be a mistake, for he belonged to a
small tribe and was one of the least in
his fathers house. When about to be
brought before the people as their king
he was found in hiding.
The modesty of Saul in the beginning
of his career is in marked contrast with
his manner after being king for a time.
The office of king with it's power made
Saul self conceited, and one can hardly
recognize the man on the throne in
later years as the same who could
hardly be dragged to the front in the
beginning of his public history.
1t is recorded Of Saul that God gave
him another heart" Il Sam. 1879 about
the time he met Samuel. With this
he went forward in a way to please the
people and to win much success over
his enemies. These successes made
him a changed man and he was impa-
tent of the religious customs of the
people and in the language of our times
became .big headed" Once when sam.
uel did not come as soon as he thought
he should, Saul himself assumed to offer
the sacrifices in the place of the prophet
chosen by God When reproached by
Samuel for his conduct Saul made a
very lame excuse.
Not many years before the close OF
his reign as king he received direct
command to advance against the enc
mics Of the people and utterly blot them
out. These enemies had been cruel
and malignant. Saul wanted tri'
umphal return, with the spoils of war
as we read of did the generals of Rome
in the times Of the affluence of the
great empire. Thus Saul made capture
Of the heather king Agag and gathered
up much cattle and other spoils and
came back with them. Saul was mel
by Samuel and called to account Tor
his conduct At first Saul made eX-
cuses for not obeying to the very letter
what he had been told to do. lie sald
the cattle were to sacrifice to God Tor
the victory and that the people had de-
manded that the valuables be hrousht
back. Finally he broke down and con.
fessed his sin. 1t was on this occasion
that Samuel gave utterance to- the mag
nificent truth which has come down
the ages as 4 standard when he SAID
Hath Jehovah as great delight IN
burnt offerings and sacrifices as IN
obeyng the voice Of Jehovah; Be-
hold, to obey is better than sacri-
flee, and to hearken then the fat
of rams.
Rising above everything else in i'm.
portance lis obedience. Forms, cere.
monies, great showing of worship. and
godIiness do not take the place of obey,
ing what God has commanded. Par
ents know that they appreciate obedi'
ence to their expressed wishes more
than great professions of love, accom-.
panied by waywardness and defiance.
Right through the bible runs this truth
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1920-06-02

that disobedience is sin. Samuel said
t'Rebellion is sin and stubbornness is
as iniquity.
Saul was not the first man, nor the
last, TO lose his place among men, and
in the sight of God because of self con
ceit, because Of inability to stand sue.
cess. How greatly we admire man
or woman who although powerful in
position, and successful in career, IS
humble, meek, kind hearted. Such are
princes among men and women. Jesus
said the meek We're specially to be
blessed, and was in His career the per-
feet example of kindness and meek
ness under all circumstances.
BY continued rebellion in thought
and life on the part of Saul, there came
a time when "the Spirit of the Lord de-
parted from Saul" and he rejected Je-
;hovah and was in turn rejected by God.
My readers can bear witness that they
have seen men and women go through
this stage of gradually losing interest in
Gods work, the cares of this world and
the deceitfulneSS of riches SprinSing
and choking out the good seed of chris
tianity in their hearts: Many thous-
ands of people have in the past few
weeks during the M. r. conference at
Des MOines witnessed the moving pic
ture called 1.-The Stream of Life. 1t
was powerful presentation of how a
boy coming from a cody home, grew
a manhood of GOODNESS and unbelief be,
cause of great business success. In
the end he came to see the right. The
career of that young man ran very like
to that of Saul. Both were ready to
pray and serve God in the boyhood
but were lured away when they came
to wealth, power and prosperity. am
pleased to say that Denison has the
promise of having this great picture
brought here and our people can enjoy
it, as did the thousands who attended
the great auditorium night after night
to sec it.
The career Of Saul is set forth in the
bible as an example for us. The pit.
falls he encountered are similar to those
confronting us all today. He was not
able to withstand temptation, and al
though starting out humble, meek,
trusting in Cod he ended naughty
bold, unthankful for what had been
done him. His sorrow when told that
he had been rejected by God was pitt
full to contemplate. Samuel would
have nothing to do with him and he
ended his life by falling on his sword
rather than to be captured by his enc.
mics.

SPIDERS THREAD HAS VALUE
Practically Indispensable in the Con.
struction Of Telescopes for the
Astronomer.

The threads of the garden spider
are fixed by astronomers in their tele-
scopes for the purpose of giving fine
lines to the field Of view, by which
the relative positions Of stars may be
accurately measured.
For century astronomers desired
to make use of, such lines Of the great
est possible fineness,s and procured at
first silver wire drawn out to the ex-
treme limit Of tenuity attainable with
that metal. They also tried hairs
(1-5OOth OF an inch thick), and threads
Of the silkworm's cocoon, which are
split into two component threads,
each only 1-20Oth Of an inch thick. But
in 1920 an English Observation-Disclosures
named Throughton introduced the
spiders line. This can be readily OBJ
tanned three or four times smaller
than the silkworm's thread, and has
also advantages in its strength and
freedom from twist. & i.a.

the moment of issue from the body is

length of firm but elastic thread can
be procured. 49, ,..,.---,!!, X 81

UNFAIR COMPETITION

The federal trade commission has is
sued a statement of advertising prac
tees which it holds constitutes unfair
competition. Among those condemned
are the following: Advertising sales
claiming special reduction when nc
such reduction has been made; falsely
conveying the impression to the public
that prices have been cut; etc.
One can easily imagine that in many
large city stores, where relations be
tween the homogeneous and the public
are not close and personal, such prac
tees prevail to some extent.
In dealing with the stores of Denisor
you can be sure that nothing of this
kind is going on. A man who made
false ror exaggerated claims in a news
paper ad in this community would dc
his business a great deal of injury. The
truth would leak out and the public
would get onto his curves.
The public can be sure that in trad.
ing ut home in this community it is
protected against the deceptions against
which the federal authorities issue this
warning.
