Fall, a Genuine Westerner''

The West seems to be feeling good
these days over the fact that Albert
Bacon Fall of New Mexico, the new
secretary of the interior, Is genuine
westerner." To be sure, John Barton
Payne makes Chicago his home and
Franklin K. Lane was credited to Cal
ifornia. But they are both lawyers.
Secretary Fall is also lawyer for
that matter, but he is now engaged
in farming, stock raising and mining.
says the Reclamation Record:
"The appointment of Secretary
Fall is regarded as deserved conces-
sion to the long expressed demand Of
the West for man thoroughly con-
versant with western needs and con"
ditions. His experience Of more thai
a quarter Of century in public land
states, during which period he has
been a homesteader, miner, cattleman,
legislator, and United States senator,
peculiarly fits him for the position Of
secretary Of department which has

LESS woRK-FEWER REDS.

HERBERT Corey, the we'll known
newspaper correspondent, writing
from Washington regarding social
unrest as it applies especially to the
Reds has the following interesting in
formation TO give:
1.-THE less work there is IN the
United States the fewer radicals there
are.
"On its face that statement seems
rather absurd. But it is borne out by
the weekly census of reds conducted by
one of the agencies whose business it
is to keep informed on such matters.
Here IS a comparative table of reds
and unemployment:
"The normal market in the United
States finds about / million persons
out of work.
To-day there are 81 million per-
sons looking for jobs.
The normal supply of reds when
wor kis easy TO find is moro than fou1
hundred thousand.
To-day the actual red enrolment in
the United States is estimated al
$4,000.
"A year ago the l. W. W. had sew.
enty-four Thousand members on itS
books.
To-day the |. w. w. membership
has fallen to fifty thousand.
This decrease in the red census i
charged against two causes by thos'
whose business it is to keep a hnge
on the radical pulse. The first is tn
return to common sense of the maj
who want a job. The second is tn
report made upon conditions in Rus

FULTONIANS DECIDE TO
ABANDON PROPOSED
FALL STREET FAIR

Fulton will not have a street fair
the coming fall, the decision having
been reached at a meeting of commit
teemen who had been appointed to
solicit funds for such an entertain
ment under the auspices of the Amer
lean Legion.
The Commercial Club last week
formally decided it would be imprac-
teal for it to undertake a street fair,
and thereupon the American Legion
agreed to undertake it on certain con-
.ditions. One Of these conditions was
that the Legion should have unres-
tricted use of the memorial park
grounds, their purpose being to locate
carnival shows in the park.
The proposed reunion of veterans OF
the World War, which was set for
September S, 6 and 7, also has been
abandoned as a result of the failure
of the Legion to carry out its plans
for a street fair, Roy. c. Anthony
chairman of the reunion COMMITTEES

Preached Community
Sermon Sunday

A record audience heard DR.. A. A.
Wallace preach the sixth sermon Of
the Community series Sunday night
and heard some splendid musical
numbers, an anthem by the choir and
a solo by Mrs. F. N. Henderson.
DR.. Wallace had for his text the
words What sayest thou of Thyself."
He introduced his remarks by saying
that an important thing in a court
room is the taking of testimony.
We, he said, ARE Christ's witnesses
and are often called on to testify for
HIM"
Seven witnesses were put on the
stand during the sermon and each
had little to say Of self, but much to
say regarding Christ. John the Bap-
fist said: I am nothing but a voice
crying in the wilderness" THE wo-
man of Samaria confessed to a great
thirst which Christianity could
quench." John, the beloved apostle
testified that his love for Christ was
born out of Christ's love to him."
Paul." the speaker said, laid nc
stres ON anything that he had done
but said God borbid that l should
glory, save in the Cross Of Christ"
Peter, who at one time in early
- -.
life boosted of his superior fidelity
sums up his testimony to Christ by
saying ITO Him be Glory and Domin'
ION Forever and Ever"

that life is best lived when a mar

JAZZ.

THE August number of the Ladies
Home journal has a most interesting
article on jazz and it's effect on the
morals of the nation. The fact that
iazz is being barred in the better
class places of public dancing in the
larger cities and is being frowned
upon generally is due to the realiza-
ton that it's barbara notes stimulate
brutality and sensuality.
There is nothing refining about
iazz. It is savage in every detail and
APPEALS to what is basest in US,
There is no rhythm or beauty in 1T,
merely a gathering together of bar
baric wildness that is not music and
always has a demoralizing effect
upon those who are its devotees.
The movement to eliminate jazz
seems to be growing and we consider
this a most encouraging sign. 1t Is
time we we're getting back to the two
step and waltz and doing away witt
those dances that are the product o
the underworld and lack both grac'
and rhythm.
Time was when to dance n had 7
have more or less grace but toda'
TO dance seems to require nothin'
more than the momentum to waddl
