BIG REVIVAL BY REV. .TETLEY

Sunday marked the close of the re-
viyal meeting in Park Methodist
church, with the building filled to its
capacity at each service.
During the revival there were 7I
converts, and a sufficient number or
reclaimed backsliders to make the
number forward more than 100. Dur
ing this conference year there has
been II additions to the church with
SO covenants for family affairs to be
erected and maintained and 81 cove
nants for tithing. A revival interest is
very clearly manifested in every de-
partment of the church.
The attendance at Sunday School
reached the highest attendance in
years, The flower service held at IL
o'clock, which was pleasing and sur
prising in its nature as we'll as was
very beautiful. Eleven converts were
taken into the church at this service.
At three o'clock in the afternoon
the house was packed to hear Rev.
William A. Tetley's famous lecture
sermon, "Home, Sweet Home," and at
the close of this service covenants for
family altars were made.
At the evening service the crowd
was so great that people were packed
into all available space in the audi
torium, and listened attentively to
Rev. Tetley's sermon on Excuses"
One more was added to the member
ship of tile church at this service.
"Tetleyism" from the closing SER
vices of the meetings follow:

the basement of one Of the STOOL
rooms" (pool rooms) in town has been
a rendezvous for tin-horn gamblers

Craps Games at
TaylOrtoWnRaided

Sheriff John G. Hunt and deputies,
accompanied by Prosecuting Attorney
w. E. Golfer, raided a gambling joint
in Taylortown at about $3.50 Saturday
evening. The games that were sud
denly interrupted by the officers were
in progress in the basement under the
pool and soft drinks resort Of Emmett
Meyer and Emmett Bono.
The room was we'll filled with men,
about twenty in number, most Of
whom were engaged in shooting craps,
the game being banked by Fred Sif-
ford, of Bloomfield. Meyer, Bono and
Sifford were placed under arrest,
while the names of all others present
were taken as witnesses. Six pairs
of dice and about $500 that was on
the table was confscated.
The case against Sifford was tried
Monday in Squire Arenz court in
Flat River, and fine of $50 and costs,
totalling about SIS, was assessed
against him. On payment by him Of
fine and costs, the $500 confiscated
was returned to him.
The cases against Meyer and Bono
will be tried in the circuit court next
month, at which, time those who were
participating IN the craps games VIII
be used as witnesses. should the cases
go to trial. Sheriff Hunt proposes to
do everything in his power to put an
end to gambling and bootlegging in
st. Francois county. For their own
| good, The Times would warn all law
violators to go elsewhere, or turn
their endeavors to lawful pursuits, as
further operations in this county for
such gentry is liable to prove unprof-
table for them

the distribution of profits. Ten per
cent of the net profits was placed IN
the sinking fund. A dividend OF ten
per cent was then declared upon the
paid-up capital stock. The rest of the
net profits was divided rniformly
among the stockholders. esd on the

In Regard to
Local Conditions

Travelling men report that the Lead
Belts apparently the only section of
the conutry that is not suffering from
the industrial and commercial depres-
sion that is affecting the country gen
orally just now. II that he true, it is
significant, and one of two things is
true; Either the business men of this
section, as class, are extremely far
sighted and adroit, or else this section
is SO self-sufficient and favored by
natural circumstances as to be more
or less immune from the effects Of
general conditions.
None of us, however, believes that
conditions are so satisfactory and so
safe as to leave no cause for concern
over the future. This is a section of
raw production. Production has been
normal and price variations have ball
arfsS generally. ". ..t
y What is normal production? 1t is
estimated that agricultural production
for the Middle West is sixty per cent
efficient, according to her own stand
ards. According to the standard Of
possibility, it is infinitely less than
sixty per cent.
Agencies, the country over, are at
work trying to eliminate that forty
per cent discrepancy, and utilize the
forty per cent of unused resources. A
few of them have been unusually sue
cessful, notably in Neosho and Joplin,
to use neighboring examples. In
creased bank deposits, increased stock
turnovers and improved farms and
livestock are evidence of the success
of these agencies. 1t seems that sim
pie cooperation, backed by initiative,
was the recipe. Apparently no es-
pecially favorable conditions obtained
anywhere.
The local Chamber of Commerce
has attempted to awaken that spirit,
in Pennington, latent in any commun-
ity, that, in less than three years Gre
ated yearly cash income of $500 and
400 miles of hard roads for the farm
ers of one section of Bourbon county,
Kansas. That is getting after the
forty per cent. That forty per cent
offers something to think about, when
it is remembered that often a differ
ence of one per cert is the thin wall
that stands between the success and
failure of an enterprise.
We have made a start. The local
Chamber has definitely undertaken to
promote, particularly, the milk-pro-
duction industry for this locality. 1t
is considerably handicapped just now
through lack of interest. There are
approximately 120 members in the
Chamber, but most Of them, so far,
are social members. Relatively few
have ever voiced an opinion or offered
a suggestion in a meeting. Many
opinions have been expressed ptomis-
cuously. but they are wasted. Do you
consider the $25 fee an investment IN
concern for the promotion OF the
general good, Of contribution to some
vague. cause? 1t will be neither un'
less bit of service goes with it.
