When Ma Sunday, with all her
endearing motherliness, said good
Dye, Burch couldn't say word.
After Sunday had disappeared
down the stairs and out to his wait
ing automobile, Burch said:
Isn't he a prince? He's the
most delightful, magnetic man 1
ever met"
A few minutes later there was a
second dramatic meeting. From
the Jail Sunday went to a railroad
ticket Office and there, only by
chance, he came face to face with
Rev. w. A Burch, the accused
man father. The two shook hands.
I've just been up to see your
boy-the baby met at the par
sonage in Chicago" said Sunday.
The heavy lines of care that
nave lined DR.. Burch's face since
his arrival in Los Angeles to aid in
his sons defense, seemed to fade
with Sundays words.
i knew you would, l knew you
would go and see him. he said,
and his voice shook as he spoke his
gratefulness.
Later Sunday insisted on making
1t clear that he had visited Burch
because he was an odd friend of
DR.. Burch and his family
without sympathy when it is
needed life in this world would be
shImmering mirage. That's why
| went to see young Burch," he
SAID. And then he began hum
ming:
Brighten the corner where you
are"

SOUTH SHOWS
CONFIDENCE
PASTOR SAYS
Rev. John McGOvn Stevenson
Home from Vacation Describes
Conditions.

Rev. John McGown Stevenson,
pastor of the Broadway Presbyte-
rian church, has returned from
holidays and will preach tomorrow
morning and evening Speaking of
his trip he said, Il traversed seven
states and in each found enormous
crops The country could scarce
ly look better. Economically ma
ture has done her part. An ex-
cess yield from the land is the first
sign OF returning prosperity. While
recognizing the darker facts, l be-
lleve that recovery has started.
THE railroads are picking up
and when they receive their aid,
long promised, they will be able
to cut their rates. Then the sur
pluses On hand which are pre-
venting normal markets as for in
stance in hides, will soon be ex-
hausted. There are seven or eight
million hides on hand and until
we buy more shoes the farmer can
not get anything for his hides.
Il have talked to men every
where l had a chance and while
there is a god bit of kicking go
ing on nobody seems to know quite
whom to kick. Yet they would all
smile about it and behind it all
there is fine confidence that things
will soon be swinging again.
Il found the south strong in hope
and altogether different to the gen
eral impression. OF course, money
is tight, but the price of cotton is
assured a steady increasing mar
ket for two reasons: only half the
usual crop was planted because
they were forced to grow all their
own food; the boil weevil has ruin
ed about half the yield. So the
price is sure.
Extensive Road Building.
AN enormous amount of road
construction is under way every
where. l am humiliated TO say it,
| but l feel that | must | swallowed
more dust the last 10 miles in Rock
Island county than any other part
Of my trip.
1.-THE imitation did not hit Arkan-
sas as in other states. l might be
wrong but l don't think so after
what l have seen and heard. The
! land that can produce what l saw
with people whose spirit is smil-
ing hope can't long be in a state of
depression. My conviction is that
as soon as these SURPRISES are
used up, the railroad rates adjust
ed, the farmer helped in his cred
its. public confidence restored IN
purchasing what we need-not in
what we can do without-still econ
omize but buy where you can, I
believe that the farmer will work
in confidence this year and that a
year hence the wheels will be turn
ing again"

N his peppery sermons at a modest

s,nrers TO hit the trail to repent
snce. Sunday was invited by the
nastor of the church to visit the
parsonage.
In the parsonage Sunday was
shown a baby boy, the pastors new
and only son.
Today the "rough-riding soldier

Burch and his attorney.
The meeting occurred in an up
stairs corridor with unshaven
roughly clad persons peering out Of

"Mr. Sunday, this is Arthur

face. 81 just dropped in to give
you the glad hand and say howdy
