Where The War Still RACES
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

after it was Paul and Barnabas."
Saul got a new name (still a COM
mon practice in the East) at Paphos
in Cyprus. Paul means Little" but
the designation was wor. because he
proved himself big by soul-measure-
ment
A Jewish sorcerer named Elymas
had the Roman ~proconsul, Sergius
Paulus, in his tolls. There is a
whole library of literature dealing
with the aptitude of renegade Jews
for witchcraft. This man Elymas
played for high stakes; he was a
daring fellow, of the sort whom
most reformers would prefer to deal
with in the safety of their own pull
pits or editorial sanctums. Paul,
however, faced him in person and
looked him in the eye and told him
just the sort of sinner he was. In
language that would not be permit
ted today in some of our best pull
pits, Paul tagged Elymas with his
family name as a son of the devil.
He went further and laid the blind
ing hand of God upon those evil
eyes. Small wonder that the pro-
consul was converted! Men always
are converted when they see the
fearless Gospel of Christ operating
with power.
"A journalistic Stacker
While Paul played the hero, the
third member of the party, John
Mark, secretary and reporter, play
ed the Stacker" AS q newspaper
a l am proud of John Marks
journalistic ability: he wrote the
first and best STORY" of the life and
work of Jesus. But as an humble
fellow-craftsman l feel that he
brought discredit upon an honorable
profession when he fiunked the per-
lis of Asia Minor. In my own work
as a foreign correspondent l have
known a few reporters who proved
towards in danger. but they were
the rare exception. John Mark
shared in the glorious farewells at
Antioch; he was a hero in the be-
ginning; but when Asia Minor was
reached. and the prospects of rob-
bers and mobs and other travel
perils doomed ahead-and l can tes-
tify that this is a rough, though
sublime region-he quit cold. and
turned back to safety.
Paul was angry. Every soldier
will understand his contempt for
the coward: for at the front, in the
great war, there was almost only
n virtue: courage. l am glad that
Paul sent the timid young nan off
with blistering words, and refused
to take him along the second time.
For it seems as if of late the Church
has lost her capacity for Indignation,
and her power to rebuke evil. Burn
ing and scorching condemnation of
ethical tr-ansgressions is not nova
days a characteristic of religion.
This jellyfish sort of sentimentalily
has scant support in the example or
teachings of the greatest interpreter
of the Mind of Christ.
Nevertheless, l am glad that when
John Mark repented and mended his
ways, Paul was reconciled to him;
and that John Mark later did his
immortal work of writing the Second
Gospel. Ours is a religion of the
second chance.

LIKE THE PREFERRED STOCK
Why Experienced investors Prefer
That Form of Security to Old
Form of Eond Issues.

A. B. Farquhar in his memoirs, In
System, tells how the idea of pre-
ferred stock originated a good many
years ago when corporate organiZa-
tion was less general than it is today
"The preferred stock was devised
by the longer-headed corporate organ
izers, who saw that in the case of an
Industrial organization an issue Of
bonds constituted a danger, for the
interest had to be paid whether or not
any profitable business was done. A
company was safer with the preferred
stock issue than with the bond issue,
which generally involves mortgage.
But it was not until very recent
years that more astute investors real
ly began to appreciate the fact that
the preferred stock of company
without bond issues is sometimes a
better security than would be a bond
of the same company. 1t took long
time to get away from the real-estate
mortgage idea and to realize that an
investor could in any event get re-
turn only from what the corporation
earned, and that perfectly sound
corporation might. by reason of a
couple of bad years, be forced to bor-
row money to avoid default in bond
interest, and thus invite a failure that
would not occur If it had been per-
mitted to husband its resources
through the passing of stock diyi-
dends. For foreclosure sale of a
big property rarely fetches 100 per
cent cash. AS rule, however, the
first mortgage bonds of good compa-
nies which have been in successful
operation for some time and earned
several times their interest charges
are rightly regarded as safer invest
ments than stocks"

RALPH ROAD BILL
PASSED BY SENATE
Measure Provides for 6,000-Mile Sys-
TEN of Hard Surfaced Roads Con-
Meeting Every Missouri County.

Jefferson City, Mo-, July H.
The Missouri senate passed guam
tity Of pending legislation today, the
most important Of which was the
Ralph road bill, providing for 5000
mile system Of hard surfaced roads
connecting every county in the state.
Calling up of the road bill was un-
expected and followed an executive
session and an announcement of Sem
ator Gray, president protein, that July
20, had been set as the date of adj
journment of the senate.
The vote on the road measure was
90 to 1. Senator Chambers of Cedar
county casting the only vote in the
negative and explaining that he had
not had an opportunity to study the
measure fully.
Another measure passed by the
senate was that reducing the corpor-
alton franchise tax rate from ST. OH
the $1,000 to so cents. The senate left
intact, however, a section exempting
the surplus from the tax down to the
liabilities. 1t was that section of
which Governor Arthur M. Hyde re-
ferred in his message yesterday, de-
claring that as written it would re-
duce the revenue to be derived from
4 -t = 4
the statute and possibly would make
the law unconstitutional. The COVER
nor recommended that it be modified.
Still another bill to be disposed OF
by the senate was the Proctor primary
election measure designating that
candidates for judges Of the supreme
appellate and circuit courts be nomin-
ated by delegates conventions, the
delegates to be selected at the August
primaries. The bill was passed by a
vote of. 10 to 5.

why 10 a Curly Hsada

This question is asked thousands OF
times, but never stays answered. Yet
the answer Is simple-if you know the
secret. The twist in an African ne
gro's hair, for instance, tends to keep
him cool during the heat of the sun.
Examine the furs of the different an
imals and it will be seen that those
with straight-haired pelts live in the
northern sections Of the world, while
those with curly fur come from the
warmer climates. In the same way
those which have white hair come
from the region of snow and ice, while
those with black or brown hair inhabit
the more temperate climates. The
explanation is that the fur of the
northern animals is intended princi-
pally to keep its wearers warm, AMI
that of the animals which live in trop-
icaI climates is to protect them from
the direct rays of the sun-this result
being accomplished by the curls and
kinks Of the black or brown fur.

AUCTION AND SALES DAY

The Auction and Sales Day held
Monday, July IL, proved very busy
day in Monet. The merchants offer
ed some exceptional bargains and the
shoppers were quick to realize it, and
as a result, at the close of the day the
merchants had all done a big busi-
ness and the buyers had received a lot
for their money.
Perhaps the dry goods stores did a
little heavier business than the other
stores on account OF the vacationers
preparing to leave for outings of all
kinds. There was heavy sale on the
tissue ginghams soft silks and
organdies, which are so popular this
season, and at the millinery stores
they reported a brisk sale of mid-sum-
mer hats in straw and organdie. The
mems clothing stores reported good
business, as well as the furniture.
hardware stores, drug stores and San
der's Stores company.
The auction sale was held at the
corner of Fourth street and Broadway
and Col. w. H. Snider, the well known
auctioneer, cried the sale. There was
not great many articles listed for
sale, but what were there sold for a
good price. (
