KENTUCKY YOUNG
PEOPLES CON-
FERENCE
Al DanviIie. Ny, June 1910. BY Rev.
w. A. Hopkins. Synodieai
Superintendent.

The Southern Presbyterian Church
is aroused to the tremendous unde-
veloped resources Of her young peo-
pie for Christian service, and Il max
ing a determined effort 10 meet the
needs. and 10 enlist the lives Of her
youth in definite worldwide service
for Christ. One Of the most fruitful
means in developing the social. in
tellectual and spiritual nature Of our
young people is the Young Peoples
Conference such as our Synod viii
conduct at Kentucky College for
Women, Danville. June i0-i6th.
The success Of these conferences
in providing a constructive program
Of wholesome recreation, religious
instruction and deeply spiritual in
spiration is unauestioned. The re-
Spouse Of the young people in over
crowding evecy conference. their
keen delight in every feature Of the
program and the direct results in
their lives and in their influence In
the local churches is most inspiring.
Any one who has attended one Of
these conferences or who has wit
messed the results in the lives Of
those who have attended. will need
no argument TO awaken his interest
and kindle his enthusiasm.
The purpose Of this article is not
to drum up large delegations for
Danville. as the capacity limit Of the
conference buildings could easily be
exceeded by large delegations from
our Blue grass churches; but our pur-
pose is to distribute delegations TO all
Of the churches Of our Synod 20 as
10 make the conference representa-
tive Of our entire State. We desire
TO secure the cooperation Of the
pastors, sessions, Sunday schools,
young peoples and women's societies
Of our more distant churches espeei-
ally in guaranteeing the presence of
the most promising boys and girls be-
tween the ages Of 10 and "a Of their
| local church.

Too Much Athletics.

federation of community clubs to
be held in Gervais Tuesday
night, according to T. e. McCros-

mercial club and delegate repre-
senting to that organization.

have an opportunity now to ex-
press themselves through their
delegates for or against potato
certification," said Mr.. McCros-
key. "They can get application
blanks from their delegates to the
meeting or from this club. / send
the application to Oregon agricul-

tion is made when the plants are
in blossom; the second inspection
is made when the blossoms have
dried and the third when the
potatoes are in the bin. There is

tatoes. California will buy all we
have"
The question of the poultry and
corn show next January will also
be discussed. There is some doubt

Merchants Hit BY
New Ordinances; 2
Aldermen OuSted

The passage of bill for an ordi
nance prohibiting the display Of
merchandise on the sidewalks i'm
mediately in front of Salem stores
and the ousting of two members
of the street committee by Mayor
George Halvorsen were the main
features OF the regular meeting OF
the city council held last night.
When the new ordinance, which
amends section IA of ordinance
203, becomes effective, local mer-
chants will be unable to place
their wares beyond their property
lines. In the past they were al
lowed IL inches of space on the
walks. Some opposition to the
bill was shown by Alderman Ed
Schunke, who insisted that tie
father Of the bill, Alderman Joseph
Baumgartner, merely wished to
see it passed in order to incon-
yenience a competitor. This allie
cation was denied by Mr.. Baum
gartner.
New Committee Named.
Mayor Halvorsen's decision to
appoint new street committee
came after H. H. Vandervort and
George Wenderoth, two of the
committees members, had had
their customary semi-monthly ar
gument, and somebody had point
ed out that there appeared to bel
dissension in the committee. Coun-l
cilmen Giesy and McClelland were
named by Mayor Halvorsen to suc-l
ceed Mr.. Wenderoth and Mr.. Van
dervort while Councilman Jeffer-
son was retained on the commit |

Of Horace Sykes, of the state fire

an ingratiating talk to the coun-
cilmen in which he complained |
that he had been misquoted by the
press when he spoke at the Con-
mercial club several days ago.
Il didn't say that Salem was
the dirtiest city said IL was
among the dirtiest," Mr.. Sykes told
the councilmen. I'm saying this
because l don't wish to get in bad

ed from Mr.. Sykes address, which
he had prefaced with the promise
that 1t wouldn't be lengthy, that
he had been grossly misrepresent-l
ed by the "press." Whom he
meant by "the press" he did not
say.
Fill to Be Made.
The bid OF G. A. Clark, Of Polk
tuuuty, WHO dSIeSu W luiiiiou lhS
city with $50 cords of wood at
$6.45 per cord, was accepted by
the council. Mr. Clarks bid was
the lowest offered.
Anticipation the approaching
vacation season, the council made
provision for the employing of ex-
ira men for the police and fire de-
partments. Chief Hutton was i'm
structed to employ two extra men
and Chief Moffitt will be allowed
to hire one. These men win serve
while the regular men are off
duty.
At the suggestion of Alderman
Patton the council voted to have
the street commission maze fill
on Parrish street where sewer is
reported to have caved in. A COM |
munication from the proprietor of
the Central cigar store, asking fer-
mission to erect an electric sign to
front Of his place of business, was
referred to the light committee.

SEE SUICIDE NATIONAL PERIL
Influential Japanese Newspapers Exalt
Christian Idea as to the Sacred
ness of Life.

Suicide, which has always been
prevalent in Japan, is, according to
the japanese press, even more rife
than ever since the financial crisis in
the Land of the Rising Sun, says the
Literary Digest In recent issue. The
Osaka Mainichi, which sees peril to
the nation In the prevalence of self
slaughter, acknowledges the excel
lences of the Christian view that sui
eide, instead of being merely an apol-,
ogy for failure, is a crime. Many sui
cides in Japan are due to the fact that
the Japanese have "less attachment
to life than foreigners" and also to
the traditions Of feudal times when
they belittled life.
The Osaka Mainichi says further:
"Death-much more suicide
evasion Of responsibility and
the notion that those who commit SUI
eide have the keenest sense Of respon-
sibility is wrong. Suicide is the en-
bodiment of egoism and Irresponsible
ty. One of the strong points of the
Christian people is their conviction
that to kill ones self is as criminal
as to kill Others"

Remarkable Photographic Feat.

Conspicuous among a number of re-

that actually shows the boiling Of
molten metal In an open-hearth fur
mace heated to 5000 degrees Fahren-
heit. The Photographic feat Of sue
cessfully registering this action in de-
tail on the film is particularly inter-
esting, because the subject is one that
a human eye can not gaze upon un-

Magazine. Furthermore, the extreme
heat of the furnace cast some doubt
on the safety of the camera, with It's

the exposure was made, two men stood

CHESS COMES EASY TO HIM
Youthful Prodigy Declares There Is
Nothing Wonderful About His
Mastership Of Game.

Chess is the easiest game In the
world to me. During the long dull
days of the war my father used to
play all the time with his friends. AT
first I did not understand what the
chessmen were for, and wondered
why father would sit for hours and
gaze at the board with its funny-look-
ing pieces. One day when l did not
want to go out and play / watched
him play his game. became inter-
ested. I bothered my father so with
questions that he chased me out OF the
game as soon as he was through
with his friend. waited eagerly for
him to get through. He played
practice game with me, and I under
stood every move after that. The
next game we played, beat my father,
who is a very good chess player.
There is nothing wonderful about my
way of playing the game. My secre-
tary, Mr.. Azenberg, says that 1t
comes from reincarnation. A baby
is born with good brains, and they eX-
plain it that way. They say that his
ancestors or some spirits have given
this power to him because so much
ability in one person must have taken
a long time to develop. When I play
chess can plan my moves six or sew
en- moves ahead, and most players
can only go three moves ahead of the
game. I can't help it at all. was
born that way. I like to play with
poor players. At West Point, where
I beat 10 games and drew one, there
were only nine good players; the 9TH
ers had no business trying to play
me at all.
I have played lots of fine players in
chess. During the war beat the
German governor at Warsaw, and he
was an old man and fine player.
Then I drew game with Rubenstein,
the Russian champion, and also drew
with Griffin in a blindfolded game in
England. have not played Lasker
yet, but one of the 81 I beat in Paris
says he drew game with Lasker, and
another said he beat Capablanca. In

been with Colonel Fiebeger, sixty-two
years old, at West Point-Samuel
