Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
 What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight, Ger the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say, does that star-spangled ban- ner yet wave Ger the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep, Where the foes naughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, OCT the towering steep, / As it ftfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the mornings first beam, fn full glory reflected, now shines on the stream; 'Tis the star-spangled banner; oh, long may it wave Ger the land of the free and the home of the brave!

 Their blood has washed out their

 slave From the terror of flight or the gloom

 Between their loved homes and the

"Senfencr IINmnh.n

The term sentence hymn" came from the practice of earlier days, when hymn books were scarce. In order that all the congregation might be able to join in the singing the pastor would read aloud the first two Ines. which were then sung and the reading and singing would continue alternately to the end of the hymn. This practice is still continued in some of the rural churches of the Iuth.

THE NEW ADM1N1srRAnoN

One of the most important acti-
vities Of the new administration will
be In the line of helping business
The old administration relations
to business were largely of a regula-
tive character. 1t felt that the bust
ness world Is honeycombed with g.
buses and rottenness, and that Its
frs duty was to exercise very close
supervision Of commercial affairs.
1t covered the country with inspec-
tors whose task 1t was to ferret out
wrongdoing and force business men
to walk the straight and norraw
path.
Up to certain point there was
need for that kind Of service. But
that spirit was carried a great deal
too far. 1t ignored the fact that the
vast majority OF business people
wish to be honest and to deal fairly
with the public When honest
men are made to feel that they are
30 constantly upder suspicion. and
that they are liable to be psrsecut-
ed with chnces Of serious penalties,
1t checks their spirit OF enterprise.
They devote great amount OF ener.
gy to keeping out Of the clutches OF
the government, when their time
should be devoted to promoting the
industrial development Of the coun-
try. As q result business expansion
is impeded
The new administration will keep
a careful watch over the business
world to see that abuses are rea-
sonably well repressed. But ite
first purpose will not be to pursue
business men, and 1t will assume
they are honest until eevidence TO
the contrary appears.
1t will lay out programs for pro.
motion Of trade and prosperity. 1t
viii try to help on all efforts for
more efficient production. and mar
keting Of goods. 1t will work to
develop foreign commerce in a great
scale. The result OF this policy will
be something new. It will tend to
keep our factories busy and our
people employed and accomplish far
more benefit than policy Of 70
precision and suspicion.

ADJUSTMENTS
OLD SWINSNIN' HOLE

Charles Ray, the popular screen
star will be seen next Saturday night
at the Palace airdome, in the "Old
Swimmin' Hole.It is said to be one
of the most appealing pictures in
which he has vet appeared and to call
forth more laughs and tears to the
reel than any other of his past sue
cesses.
The play was adapted for the
screen by Bernad McConvill and di-
rected by Joseph De Grasse. 1t is
First National attraction presented by
Arthur Kane. The cast includes such
we'll known players as James Gordon
Blanche Rose, Laura La Plolte, Mar
iorie Provost, Lincoln I:edman and
Lon Poff. Riley's verse is interpreted
with such artistry as to both charm
the thousands of admirers of the
Hoosier poet and to win new converts
to his ballads of boyhood's happy days.
From the opening scene to the close
the story is brimful of heart interest
Charles Ray, as Ezra, is Just plain
boy" wholesome but mischievious.
He would rather fish and spend his
time at the old swimmin' hole than
study He loves Myrtle the flirtatious
belle Of the country school, but after
bringin him to his knees and robbing
him of all his treasures she jilts him
for his best friend, "Skinney". How
ever, there is happiness awaiting him
him in the loving graces of the ever
faithful Esther. Ezra is so busy fall
ing in and out of scrapes that it is a
wonder that he finds time for sweet
hearts.
1t is so skillfully directed and so
wonderfully acted as to obviate the
necessity for single subtitle. 1t
steals into the heart of the audience
until the breath of new mown hay
seems to prevade the darkened thea
ter and the audience are waited back
on the wings of memory to their own
school days. The play has received
most enthusiastic notices whereve-
shown and will undoubtedly repeat
its success at the Palace Theater.

WANT SHIPPERS
TO Be CAREFUL

Assistance of Ell Centre shippers in.
cutting down loss and damage to
freight is being sought by w. +.
Swain Agent of the Southern Pacific
Company here, who today made a
special appeal for proper packing,
marking and loading.
Mr.. Swain pointed out that loss and
damage freight claims, which on
Glass l railroads mounted from $23,-
346,965 in 1916 to $104 1889 in 1920
representing absolute economic waste
After settlement has been made"
he said, mo one is better off than he
was before the loss or damage occur
ed while the country is poorer to the
extent of the value of the property
destroyed, and the shipper is annoy
ed at the failure of his goods to reach
him in good condition
The Southern Pacific Company has
inauguarated an intensive campaign
among its employees during the month
of September to demonstrate what
can be done to climate loss or damage
and is asking shippers to join in a
common effort to reduce this dead
loss.
Carload freight is packed and brac-
ed in the car by the shipper" said
Mr.. Swain. THE function of the car
rier is to transport the car with reas-
enable dispatch, as directed by the
shipper. If the freight is not properly
packed, loaded and braced in the car,
damage is liable to occur.
Less than carload freight is pack
ed and marked by the shipper. The
carriers are forced to depend largely
on the shipper to properly pack and
clearly mark freight in compliance
with tariff and classification require
ments."
I'VE appeal to shippers to assist us
in delivery of freight in good order
by assuring themselves that sound
shipping containers are being used
that. classification requirements for
marking are being complied with and
that carload shipments are properly
loaded and braeed.'
