Or. AL J0NNSOA'S DIA-
M0Kr RING DISAPPEARS
IN DREAMLAND

For several years DR.. Al john
son, well known dentist in the
johnson Building, 1918 State St.,
has taken the precaution to leave
his $1,000 diamond ring with
Sheriff" Simpson when he went
home at night. Simpson is the
door keeper at the Dreamland
Cafe. Each morning the doctor
would get it on his return to his
office.
1t was proved last week, how
ever, that diamond robberies may
occur in a brilliantly lighted cafe
as we'll as in dark side street.
Ed Brown, night Waterman at
the Dreamland saw and admired
the glistening stone on "Sheriff's"
hand. He asked to see it. Simp-
son obliged Brown by taking it
from his finger and showing it
to him. From that moment to this
the whereabouts of the diamond
have been shrouded in mystery.
1t disappeared as completely as
smoke in the wind. Brown claims
he gave it back to Sheriff. This
Sheriff strenuously denies. At
any rate, the ring is gone.
October 20 is the date set for
the airing in the police court of
the mystery of the disappearing
diamond.

CENTER MAKES
ANNUAL REPORT

The Metropolitan Community Cen

their annual report to the congrega-
ton last Sunday morning. DR.. w. D.
Cook, Director in charge, preached
the first anniversary sermon from the
text: "The Lord hath done great
things, whereof we are glad" which
was well delivered, received and en-
joyed by all who heard him. The
music was up to the standard as usual
the Metropolitan Choir of two hun
dred voices, conducted by Prof. J.
Wesley Jones. After the sermon H.
A. Watkins Treasurer of the Metro
politan Community Center and The
Peoples Church, made a financial
statement and report of the work ac-
complished during the past year
showing that $32,113.22 has been
raised by the Trustees Department
during the year ending October LIST,
1921; $1,000 has been raised by the
Stewards Department of the Church,
and $4,000 by he Metropolitan Choir
which has been spent for music, robes
and paraphernalia and also the vast
amount they have turned in on the
building fund, which makes the grand
total of S42,113.22 raised during the
official year under the leadership and
direction of DR.. w. D. Cook Pastor
in Charge, for which they give thanks
and praise to the Lord for all that
was done and accomplished during
the year. More than $1,000 has
been spent for charity, in taking care
of sick, burying the dead, feeding
the hungry and caring for the unem-
ployed, which is in all the record
breaker for any Church in the United
States of America, when considering
that this organization is just one
year old and this vast amount of mo-
ney was raised practically through
