SEES STANDARD
OF CHRISTIANITY
IN ASCENDENCY
Pastor Says Craftsmanship,
Long Pagan, Shows
Awakening.

Reasons for Thanks giving were enum-
Grated by the Rev. ". o. Trueblood.
pastor OF the First Friends Church, at a
union service Of five churches at the
Riverside N. T. Church last night The
churches which participated were the
Riverside n E the Unity Methodist,
the Union Congregational, the Riverside
Baptist and the International Holiness
Church
"Above our gratitude for material well
being-fOr our gran3ries are overlooking
and our warehouses full; pestilence does
not stalk in our laRd-but transending
all this the heart Of America today
should give thanks, that the leaders Of
our national and international affairs are
freely applying the principles Of Jesus
Christ as they attempt 10 UntangIe the
snarls which have been threatening
civilization" the Rev. Mr.. Trueblood
said.
High standards Of morality and
ethics have characterized the policies of
most of our institutional life. both ma
tlonal and International. The banking
system, postal system, scientific and
kindred organizations have given heed
in a large measure to the Christian
standard Of ethics. Standards Of staets-
manship have all too long remained
pagan in conception and practice. Hard
ing and Hughes, both Christian gentle
men, are winning the confidence Of this
Nation and the nations Of the world. rs
they boldly declare for righteousness,
justice and mercy in all statesmanship.
For what doth the Lord REQUIRE Of
thee, Oh America, but to do Justly, love,
mercy and walk humbly with thy GOd?"

DUTY RESTS ON

WHOLE WORLD
The Rev. c. G.. Baker Dwells
Upon Obligations Pressing
Upon This Nation.

That mere observance of holidays and
mere keeping of formal ceremonies is not
a sufficient expression of gratitude to
God on the part of Gods most favored
Nation, was held By the Rev. c. G. Baker,
pastor of the West Park Christian
Church last evening at the community
Thanksgiving service in that church,
Joined in by group Of churches COM
posed of the West Washington N. E., the
West Washington Presbyterian, the
Church Of the Brethren and the West
Park Christian.
He said that the worlds wealth has
been poured into Americas banks, the
worlds suffering is shut from Us by
three thousand miles Of ocean barrier

poverty and suffering.
LIBERTY
FIRST GAINED.
"Religious liberty, economic oppor-
tunity, social equality" he added, have
been our heritage since our birth as a
Nation. when the first Thanksgiving day
was observed it was truly 4 day for rc-
Numbering Gods blessings"
I'VE dare not allow the day to degen-
crate into 4 mere formal holiday he
said. Let US cease TO think Of IL as the
day that closes the football season, or rs
the day OF days to go hunting. Yes, let
Us give up the idea that it is the day for
the years biggest dinner. Let US even
pass over the idea that it is the great
day for getting the family together. All
Of these should give precedence TO the
great ideal Of 4 day in which the worlds
hRppiest nation acknowledges its obh-
CATION TO God IN no uncertains terms,
and that means that in the midst Of COM
parative abundance we must sea to ii
that the starving Of Armenia are fed, that
Russia's storm-tossed millions are given
aid, that the sufferers OF France and
Belgium and Austria shall share in our
abundance.

lions gratitude for victory and pros

for q great memorial in the heart OF our
city where generations that are to be
may read our gratitude in lasting and

heroes and to render service"

Judge. Carpenter Grants Tenn"
pOrary Injunction Against
Enforcement of Order.

CHICAGO, Nov. 25-Chicagoans are
still paying eight cents to ride on sur
face line ears despite the fact that an
order by the Illinois commerce com
mission directed that a five cent fare be
restored last midnight.
An injunction prohibiting the fare re-
duction until Dec. and fixing that date
as the time for a hearing of the case
on its merits was granted byS Judge
George A. Carpenter of the United States
District Court. The United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals will hear the petit
tion for permanent injunction.
In asking for the restraining order, the
traction company raised the contention
that the fare reduction is confscatory in
that it deprives the company of revenue

Really dangerous street and railway
crossings are not the ones at which the
opinion of a member Of the indianapolis
police department motor corps who has
investigated dozens upon dozens of acct
dents within the past two years. In fact,
he says, it has been his observation that
the more dangerous the crossing the fewer
the accidents, and the heavier the traffic
the less likelihood there is of a really
serious accident
Far more dangerous, he insists, are the
street and railway crossings which give
a fairly clear view for some distance each
way. His explanation is that if the dan
ger is great the motorist and pedestrian
take special precautions, if the natural
hazard is not particularly apparent they

accidents happen at crossings where the
track can be seen for long distances in
each direction often where the road and
tracks are parallel and where the cross
ing is diagonal instead of at right angles.
In these cases they say an alarming num-
Der of motorists never think to look be-
hind them before crossing the tracks,
and are struck by trains or lnterurban
cars coming from the same direction as
themselves, and which could have been
seen as far back as mile, had the
moterist taken the ordinary precaution
of looking back,
'It seems to be that the logical place
to erect danger signs is not at points so
dangerous as to advertise the fact by
their very appearance, but at these de-
ceptively open corners and crossings
which the automobile drivers seem never
TO notice"

PLENTY OLE PHEAsANTs.

WELLINGTnN, Ohio, Nov. 25.-The
State game farm hels raised 5000 ring
necked pheasants during the present
season and shipped them TO all parts of
Ohio. The farm is keeping TOO matured
birds for the purpose of continuing the
hatchery next season. This policy, it is
expected, will be followed until the
State is amply restocked with the dimin-
ished nimrod's prize.

SPEEDWAY CROWDS
ALWAYS ON LOOKOUT.
''It is very noticeable that during the
days Immediately preceding the big
Speedway race in May that although the
city is filed with automobiles from all
parts of the United States, there are re
markably few serious accidents. Of
course, there are the usual number of
battered tenders and denied backs due to
cars following each other closely along
the street and the stopping suddenly at

are no real crashes.s This is because

town district is a dangerous one for
driving and they act accordingly
I'VE have spoken often among our
selves of the scarcity of accidents at
street corners which are closely hedged
in with buildings, such as Illinois ana
Thirtieth street. Drivers approaching
this corner, and others like 1t are
'bliffed' by the dangerous appearance of
the place and then they get a sudden at,
tack of eautiousness. On the other hand
there is a constant string of accidents
at Meridian and North streets. On only
one the four corners at this intersection
does a building come to the Sidewalk Inns
and both North and Meridian streets are
open to view for almost block in each
direction. And yet the street is sci,
dom free from an assortment OF broken
snOkes and shattered glass from wind
shields and headlights. The same thing
holds good for Meridian and st. Clair
streets, another open corner.
TROUBLE COMES WHEN
DANGER NOT APPARENT.
MY only explanation is that at these
points the driver is not conscious of any
unusual danger and as a result In many
instances he does not display even or
binary prudence.
Railroad and interurban employees
have told me that the worst automobile

JUNE ROLLS UP
 HUGE OIL STOCKS

Decreased production and in- creased consumption did not pre- vent a June increase in petroleum stocks of more than 1000, 900 barrels. During the same month 10, 205, 900 barrels were import ed, registering an increase of more than 100000 barrels. while exports of crude oil de- creased 279, 900 barrels or about half of the months total. More than 38. GOO. GOO barrels of petro- leum were added to stocks dur ing the first half of the present year, whereas for the same per- iod last year 868. 900 barrels were withdrawn from storage so it looks as though the producers were getting ready to meet the re-awakened demand of t h e country.

THE SAB-CAT'S YOWL

Having reduced Russia to chaos and her people utter demoralization, Trotsky, of the Lenin- -Trotsky team of international yeggmen, de- liveres this whine: Europe will not come to our aid. Europe hates us. It would much rather see our peasants starve than give us bread. There is only one thing left for us to do--take forcibly what Europe will not give us voluntarily" What a plaint to come from a man who, with Lenin, has brought famine and plague to what is naturally the most re- sourceful and healthiest country on earth. sounds like an 1. w. w. apology for existence, and it is one.

TAKING HIS MEDICINE

If every class of men in this country had been hit as hard during the past twelve months as the farmers we would have had a panic with out equal in the nations history. For when it comes to standing up and taking the gaff" the American far mer is in a class by himself.
 And still there are in Hol- brook, people who think that the frequent reference to the stability of the farmer comes from those who only seek to win favors from him. Yet they must admit, if they will consider prices and con- ditions in this country, that if there is a set of men cap able of coming up smiling in the face of hard luck, the farmers compose that set. They have taken their loss es in order to produce more to fight their way out.
 It is not surprising when a calf brings 6 cents on the farm and 60 cents on the restaurant table that the farmer is taking steps to see what can de done toward inn proving the marketing of the things he raises; to try to reduce the wide gap be- tween himself and the ulti- mate consumer of his pro- ducts. No other business man can point to as wide a margin between that which he turns out at his factory and the price the consumer has to pay for it. That's why we say the American farmer, in refusing to quit and let the country starve to death, is setting an example which other American citi- zens might find we'll worthy of emulation.

LORD NORTHCLIFFE BULLISH ON AMERICAN
 BUSINESS OUTLOOK

I am amazed to find you American business men so ner- yous, so pessimistic. You cer- tainly have far better reasons for feeling easy and confident than we British" says Lord Northcliffe. the greatest self made man in the British Empire, who is now among us.
 Your bank reserves ar e colossal. much higher than ours. You have close to one-haff of all the gold in the world. and it is still rolling in on you. Except for the fact that your bankers charge more for the use of money than ours 1 see no legitimate reason why business should be slow in this country.''
 Northcliffe is dead right. There is no valid reason for our stag nancy. We have contracted the pessimistic habit, that's all. AnG we are merely slaves of bad habit. With the highest grade, gilt edge securities of the nation paying the highest returns or record securities that can be snapped up now at bargain fig. ures-the man who does not take advantage of the present mo. ment only stands in his own way. Those who delay will wish they hadn't.

The second game was a little slow in starting, owing to field practice of the two teams. By the time the sec- ond game was well launched a big crowd was in atten- dance.
 Holbrook won the toss and took the field.
 Ted's opening offering was a slow, easy one which was leaned on for three sacks. After that Ted tight ened and to the end of the game was in no danger. His team mates almost without exception backed him with air tight fielding and put up a fine exhibition of hitting to boot. Crumely starred at the bat for long distance hits, while Gaumnitz, Reuter- and Lowery did some daring base running. Franklin in the short time he played cen ter, played excellent ball. As a whole the team starred which is very gratifying. The umpiring was uniformly good.

Phoenix, Aug. 1.-The Arl- zona Corporation commission has filed a protest with the Interstate Commerce com nilsson. charging that a re- gently published tariff on fresh fruits and vegetables between points in Arizona, California, Nevada, N e W Mexico and Utah are unjust and discriminatory.
 Under the new tariff Glass c and 4th class rates are eliminated, and t he large number of commodities which has been shipped un- der them will henceforth take Western Classification rates, (which are much high CT.
 Bisbee, Douglas and Phoe- nix will still enjoy the Class c rating by virture of rulings by the interstate commerce commission, that a higher rate would be unreasonable, but all other points in the states named will be serious lv affected on interstate shipments under the new classification. A hearing IS demanded.

STOPPING THE LEAKS

Chas. c. Dawes, named by Pres. Harding to arrange nat ional budget and see if he can stop a few financial leaks has started III to plug up one hole through which the taxpayers of this country have long watched their money flow. He is going to stop the printing of millions of dollars worth of useless gov ernment reports and pamphlets. Every taxpayer in America will be glad of this. for everyone re- alIzes that a vast amount ot money is wasted by the govern ment printing office, In fact, 1t is conceded that of the seven or more carloads of printed matter leaving the office daily, not more than a sack full of it is read.
 And another place where Daws could save the government money and at the same time show 9 spirit of fairness to the printers and publishers of this country would be to eliminate the envelope printing practice. The government has no more business printing return cards on envelopes than it has in man. ufacturing shoes or marketing it's own make of automobile. Yet it has for years entered into un- fair competition with the print CTS of this country bv offering at q few cents more than the paper alone costs, envelopes printed with return card. It is below the dignity of this na- ton to stoop to such competition as this, and we feel Holbrook taxpayers could do no fairer thing than to tell their congress- men So either by word or letter.
 These envelopes are not only printed at loss to the taxpayers but printers and publishers who pay taxes are deprlved of that much trade. There is also a loss on various other government printed matter. much of which serves no better purpose than to furnish lamp lighters or ma terial for waste-baskets. We predict that MT. Dawes will pay his salary several hundred times over in the saving he makes in the government printing office alone.
