The tent revival closed with vic
tory. The Lord was in the camp
from the very first service. Rev.
Durham, the evangelist, was at her
best and surely preached the old-fash-
Toned gospel in the old-fashioned
way. She exposed every form of sin
and handled it without gloves. Her
white slavery address was truly an
eye-opener. The tent was not large
enough and seats had to be arranged
around the outside, even then many
people were standing. Who said the
day of revivals was past?
Sunday afternoon Miss Bernice
Smell, returned missionary from At
RIGA, gave an interesting and very in
structive address on the work of the
gospel in West Africa.
Following the missionary address
the congregation went to the river
and twenty-three received the ordi
nance Of baptism. During the meet
ing there were about seventy-five
bowed at the mourner's bench, most
of whom prayed through and went
away with a real Christian exper-
fence. Nineteen united with the
church and others will later. Truly
it was a fruitful revival and we
ascribe to God all the glory. Three
united with the church at Jackson
Street class Sunday morning.
There will be no services here on
July 81 on account of the camp meet
ing near Carson City. You should

LOW CEREMONIES PERFECTLY

Washington, Nov. 5.-The call of
bugle, the. chime of bells and the
voice of a man were swept across
the continent from San Francisco to-
day to be hurled out over a wide
stretch of ground about Arlington ma
tional cemetery with every note, eve
ry jangling vibration Of the bells and
every spoken syllable as distinct as
though sounded a-'inasdred feet from
the listeners ears. Yet the SOUNDS
originated in San Francisco. The
speaker stood on the roof Of the great
civic auditorium there and: the music
came from phonograph records play
ed in the building on which he stood
for an audience 5000 miles away.
1t was the formal dress rehearsal
of the mechanism by which President
Harding's voice, as he speaks the ma
tion's homage on Armistice day over
the casket of Americas unknown
dead from France will be carried to
an audience sitting before the am
plifers in New York and to another
gathering in San Francisco to share
in Americas great day of tribute.
Telephone wires by the thousands of
miles, linemen' by the hundreds, tele-
graph operators by the score were
needed for the tests as they will be
needed on Armistice day to bring the
experiment to the success so certain
ly foreshadowed by today's perfect
results. High officers of the army and
the officials of the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co., which is MAX
ing this contribution to the memory
of the dead soldier, had no doubts Of
that success after the first sentence
spoken at San Francisco was clearly
audible to them at half mile distance
from the amplifiers in the amphitea-
ter at Arlington.

Rex Ingram's $1,o00,0OO produc-
ton of "The Four Horsemen of the
Apocalypse" made for Metro, is an
nounced by the Opera House begin
ming November 23rd. This will be the
first showing here of the screen YER
sion of Vicente Blasco Ibanez's novel
that has been acclaimed in New York,
Chicago, Boston, Pittsburg, Detroit
and Los Angeles as marking a new
epoch in the development of motion
pictures. At it's New York opening
people paid $40 a seat. Critics said
the picture had definitely established
the screen not only as capable of riv-
aling the stage at its best, but OF
surprising it in it's grip upon the
emotions.
"The Four Horsemen" is the su-
preme expression of the Great War.
Certainly no novel has stirred the
universal appeal created by the
Ibanez masterpiece. The book, now
in it's one hundred and sixty-sixth
edition, has been read throughout the
world. The monumental task of trans
ferring it to the screen was accom-
plished by June Mathis, who made a
scenario that from all accounts has
preserved the force of the original
and in many incidents heightened it.
But it is the director, Rex Ingram,
who has apparently achieved the most
sensational success. He is reported
to have set a new mark in artistry of
perturbation.
Readers of the novel will recall
that the story opens on the Argentine
ranch of old Madariaga, whose terri
tories are as extensive as those Of
the great independent barons of feu-
dal power. A rioting, registering des-
pot, he is filled with Castilian pride
of family and yearns for a male
child to carry on his tradition. His
two daughters have married ranch
employees-one French and the other
German. Madariaga's Latin antipathy
to the German son-in-law brings
with it a dislike of his half-German
grandchildren, but when a son is born
to the Frenchman, Desnoyers, the old
man finds his dream realized. The boy
Julio, is selected as heir to the huge

Julio, an expert tango dancer, be-
comes the sensation of the fashion
able dance places. He meets a fasci-
mating little society woman, Margue-
rite Laurier, and the two of them are
swept into a reckless love affair that
takes no count of Marguerite's eld-
erly husband. Their butterfly mental
tiles do not even respond at first to
the sudden shock of war that breaks
about them. 1t is 1914 and the Ger
mans are advancing toward Paris
Marguerite is first awakened to the
realization of tremendous events. She
joins the French nursing force and
sacrifices her love for Julio in order
to be the constant companion Of her
husband, who is blinded in battle.
Julio, left without the stimulation of
frivolous attractions, hears the call
of duty and enlists in the French
army, where he meets death at the
hands of his German cousin when the
two face each other in a trench raid.
Through it all are, galloping the

PRIMARY REPEAL
IS Being FOUGHT
WithIt Out Of Way Legis-
lature Gould Adjourn
.i:... !; \ Tonight

tsy Associated pres,l

CHARLESTON, May 2.-It would
be possible for the legislature now
in special session to finish its To-
bors and adjourn tonight some Of
the members believe If hope of get
ting a primary repeal bill through
should be abandoned, but 1t is not
the intention 0 fthe proponents of
such measure to give up the
fight, ii is said. for the time being
at least.
On the other hand surface indl-
cations presage an effort to secure
favorable action on the primary
measure in the senate and then send
the bill to the house. If that course
Is pursued 1t Will prolong the legls-
lative session until Wednesday at
least, and possibly longer, accord
ing to leaders.
The primary bill Is now in the
hands Of the judiciary commit .ttee.
1t is understood that a delegation
has gone to Washington for the
purpose Of holding a conference
with Senator, Sutherland with a
view OF having him withdraw his op
position to primary repeal in event
that the law with respect to tho
nomination Of candidates for the
United States senate is permitted
to stand as 1t is.
It Is believed that Governor Nor
gan will not veto senate bill 225,
otherwise known as The assessmenl
bill although very great pressure
has been brought to bear on him
to, do so. 1t Is believed that the
consideration Of the primary bill is
the only serious obstacle to early
adjournment. Both houses con-
vened at 2 p. m.

finally act on the ultimatum but
adjourned after a nhol:>>S consider
alton Of 1t until five o'clock this
afternoon. Word was received here
that NJ. Jusserand; French Ambas-
sador to Washington, had had an
informal talk with Secretary Of
State Hughes. Secretary Hughes,
the ambassador reported. said In
substance that America did not
wish to take any attitude that
would irritate the allied govern
ment, he hoped, as he was quoted
as adding, that military advances
such as an occupation OF the Rhur
valley would be avoided, as such
action seemed like war.
Word from Paris showed that
the French military forces were
making preliminary owes looking
to the occupation Of the Rhur. In
anticipation in official quarters
there, that Gerany would not give
the guarantees the allies were ex-
pected to demand and that the oc-

It was indicated the mobiliza-
ito nof $4,000 men of the class
of 19199 was imminent.
