FIGHTING PARSON"
REFEREES BOXING

Chanute, Kans., Sept. 13-The
Rev. Earl a. BlaCkman's annual
resignation again has been re-
jected by the congregation of the
Christian church of Chanute
Once a year, regularly, since
the war, the Rev. Mr.. Blackman
has given his parishioners the
choice of accepting his advocacy
of boxing bouts, dancing and
pool, or of hiring new pastor
While the vote each year has
been heavily in his favor, it is by
no means unanimous.

ing ring. the dance halls, the
lodge halls. the pool halls, per
haps in the alleys, or wherever
men congregate, if | continue to
preach to the Christian church OF
Chanute' was the ultimatum con-
tanned in the preachers recent
resignation.
Not only was the resignation
rejected-the congregation voted
its pastor an increase in salary
This he refused to accepts declar-
ing that he was amply paid, and
that he earns something in addi-
ton to his salary by refereein2
boxing bouts. He makes no Sc
cret of the fact. Furthermore, he
declares he has a double reason
for enhancing his earning capaci-
ty."

Wants Part of Estate

One of the most peculiar cases
and undoubtedly the first of its kind
ever started in Cass county was filed
in Atlantic late Thursday afternoon
by Dorothy Golf, adopted daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. d. Golf, to estab-
lish her right in the estate of d.
Golf, deceased.
The petition states that she was
adopted by ]. ID. Golf and his wife,
Nettie F. Golf in the month Of Feb
ruary, 1901, and that the adoption
papers were not filed until the Sth
day of March, 1921, which was after
the death of the said j. d. Golf.
The petition states that the estate
consists of personal property in the
sum of about $4,000 and some real
estate and that she is entitled to a
two-thirds interest in all of the prop
erty belonging to the estate and asks
that the court so rule.
The attorneys in the case are OF
the opinion that this is the most un-
usual case in the history of the dis
trict court of Cass county and that
there probably has not been over
one or two like it in the state Of

Demented Girl is Found

Miss Mildred VanWagner, 10, a
daughter of ]. w. VanWagner of
Creston, who was feared to have
committed suicide by drowning in
Summit Lake, and for whom county
officers had been searching for many
hours, was located, first near Casey,
to which place the young woman
had walked and ridden with auto
lists who had given her lift. The
young woman was then taken to Des
Moines.
Miss VanWagner mysteriously
disappeared some time Friday even
ing. Until recently she was an In
mate OF the Clarinda hospital, but
was paroled short time ago to her
father, ]. w. vanWagner. She left
home, telling her father that she
was going to the moving picture
show. When she failed to return
home within a reasonable time Mr..
VanWagner notified authorities and
search was Instituted.
Near the hour of midnight Mr..
and Mrs. C. S. Parks, who reside on
the Charles BLIZZARD farm, which is
located west of Creston, near Sum-
NIT lake, heard dog bark and then
heard a woman's voice pleading with
the dog and telling it goodbye as
she would not see it any more. Fol-
lowing this report and also reports
from several other persons who saw,
or believe they saw Miss>VanWag-
ner headed for Summit lake late at
night, the authorities first made a
search of the lake, thinking the
young woman might have commit
ted suicide.

Making Splendid improvements


In line with commentators
made by James H. Maynard, presi-
dent of the Adair commercial club,
and requests made by the city coua-
Gil, the Adair Telephone Co. and
Iowa Electric Co. of Cedar Rapids,
have actively begun rebuilding their
service lines in and about the town
of Adair to comply with the wishes
OF the said organizations.
Primary work was done with re-
spect to the burying Of wires in the
main part of town just before the
paving was completed last fall. Con-
duits were laid and cables pulled in
TO them. The completion of the
work will soon be effected and all
poles in the main part of town will
be removed, thus } adding to the
beauty OF the business section.
The Iowa Electric company esti-
mated that approximately $4,000
win be expended by them. The tel
ephone company, in addition to re-
building the system, have moved Of
fees and installed all the latest
equipment. This, it is said, will add
10 the efficiency of the service, as
well as to the comfort Of the OPP
orators.

land adjoining the state property.
The deal has been approved by
the secretary of war and by the gov

is the signing of contract for sup

After months of delay, General
Lasher made a trip to Washington
and camped in the war department
until an agreement was reached on
the terms of a water contract and
ne received a promise thai the con-
tract would be mailed to him in five
days. That was early in May. The
General is still hopeful that the fed

cept this trifling state warrant some
time before his term of office ex-
pires.

To Get Meals at Low Cost


Beds and meals at to 10 cents
each for unemployed men, particu-
larly veterans, will be furnished in
Des Moines this winter through the
efforts of Sheriff w. E. Robb OF
Polk county, former, chaplain of the
16Sth infantry. The sheriff has ar
ranged for a home fitted with cots,
plenty of covers and showers, the
equipment to be donated. He can
furnish meals at SO little cost be-
cause he buys in large quantities for
feeding prisoners at the Jail and will
buy for the unemployed on the same
basis. A card from either the Amer
lean Legion or the Trades and Labor
assembly will admit bearer to eats
and sleeps. Most of the applicants,
it is known, will be without funds.
This will mage 40 difference, as in
dividuals, several Legion posts and
other organizations have anteed

tons.

Ministers Made Objections

Clothing, or rather the lack OF
clothing worn by women connected
with a carnival company showing at
the fall festival brought protest
from some of the leading ministers
Of Cedar Rapids Saturday with the
result that they were escorted
through the carnival that afternoon
by a number of business men and
such objections as they verified were
corrected.
Several of them also protested
against a public marriage ceremony
Saturday night, and one preached
against it from his pulpit. 1t was
disclosed when an effort was made
to obtain a minister to perform the
ceremony none would agree to have
any part in the affair, saying pub
lie ceremony was not the proper
form for a thing as sacred as mar

TOLD GEORGE NOT TO WORRY
English Labor Leader Cared Little for
That divinity That Doth
Hedge a King"

Kings have no longer any ruling
incident in which the king Of England
figured last year may be told In con-
nection with the new spirit OF affairs.
The late Will Crooks, a labor member
Of parliament, a cockney with a big
black beard and devoid Of aitches,
sincere and much loved man. as re-
mote from highbrow socialists as from
hldebound conservatives, was among
the fashionable crowd Of guests at
the royal garden party.
The king got him into conversation.
viii Crooks talked as freely to his
monarch as he would to follower In
the East end of Londen. Both men
were soon deep in the troublous times
which were upon England. The king
plainly showed his anxiety about the
future. VIII Crooks, who was the
most sympathetic soul in the world,
tried TO reassure the king as they shook
hands In good-by: "Now, look here,
old chap; don't you go worrying about
things; everything is going to turn
out all right, old fellow"
There is cause for little specula-
ton in what must have been the men
tai attitude of the mobiles and dignita-
ries clustered round as they observed
the familiarity. But what the king
thought of it is best expressed by the
fact that before the next garden party
he and the queen together sent spe-
cial letter to VIII Crooks and his
wife, saying how much they wanted
them to be present.-Frank Dilmat In
