FUNCTION OF getty BOOK
Writer in Eastern Periodical Points
Out the Value Of Some Such
Publication.

We need a little book on what Is
City?" 1t should be a cheap little
book that everybody can buy, simple
little book that everybody can under
stand, a sort Of civic primer.
Suppose we live, as so many Of us
do. in an ordinary, medium-sized town.
Our "city book" should inform us that
a normal town, with the number of in
habitants our town has, should have
such and such functions, adding to the
simple requirements Of the small viii
lage those other and more varied func-
lions which the larger population OF
Such list, for our ordinary medium
sized town, might run somewhat as
follows:
Smithy, store post office, school,
church, dressmaker, milliner, barber,
drug store, moving pictures, court
house, jail, fire company, hotel, hall.
These are not placed in any dogmat-
ic order Of Importance, or arranged
with great care.
A pattern town" should be de-
scribed suggesting the income that
should be derived from legitimate tax
alton Of it's number of citizens, and
showing just what advantages town
with such an income deserves and re-
quires.
Now what are the points upon
which we should base such Judgment
of towns? Just as starter, we
might suggest these:
Health, beauty, virtue, public spirit,
educational facilities, social facilities,
administrative efficiency, administra-
tive honesty, progressiveness. mini
mum prosperity.
The health and beauty listed would
not-mean the health and beauty due
to natural advantages, but the efforts
made by the town to improve In these
matters.-From an article, Making
Towns Fit to Live In," by Charlotte
Perkins Gilman, in the Century Maya

SOLEMN HIGH MASS
FOR POPE BENEDICT
HERE ON MONDAY
st. Patrlck's Congregation Mourns
Death Of POntiif-SOlmen High
Mass To BE Celebrated Next
Monday Morning.

One may observe these days, at the
entrance of st. Patrick's church, and
as well within tthe church, the bright
hue of papal colors mingled with the
purple, bespeaking the true christian
sorrow of st. Patrick's parish in the
death Of His Holiness Benedict XIV,
their supreme spiritual father and
head. The pope is dead; once again
in the passing of time, Christ's Vicar
on earth, in succession to st. Peter,
has passed to his eternal reward, SO
his faithful people mourn his passing
and pray. in public and private, for
the repose of his soul. The somber
purple betokens this sorrow.
But in the catholic heart there rings
glad note of certain life; for the
pope shall live again in all the full
ness of his prerogatives. in the lawful
successor of Benedict XIV; again to
rule, to teach, to bless his people. This
certain hope is symbolized in the
bright papal colors, and catholic peo.
pie in public and private, will pray
next for Divine guidance in the cleo
ton of q new pope to continue the
exalted work of Christ's viceregent on
earth.
The details in this double cOmmem-
oration have been outlined by Rt. Rev.
Bishop Brossart. d. D. for the catholic
people OF the diocese of Covington'
Each day for nine consecutive days

Mayor Clark, Of Aberdeen, In
Light Case.

In handing down his written opin-
ion in the case of the Static of Ohio
against George Campbell, which was
heard on error proceedings by Judge
Reid, at Washington c. H., Ohio, the
Judge used some caustic and horse

nations generally. 1t was a case In
which Mr.. Campbell had been charged
with driving horse and buggy out
of Aberdeen in the night season with
out displaying a light attached to the
buggy. And Mr.. Campbell strenuously
denied the charge at the trial before

REPENTANCE IS THEME FOR
EVANGELIST WEDNESDAY
DR.. Harmon Delivers Another Strong
Sermon on "Prepare Ye the Way
Urges Study Of the Scriptures.

In his Introductory remarks at the
First M. Il. Church, South, Wednes-
day evening, DR.. Harmon urged that
the Scriptures he read and studied in
their entirety In order to be rightly
understood and interpreted. A detach-
cd phrase or an unrelated serve gen.
orally leads to false application of
It's truths.
DR.. Harmon chose as his text, Mat
thew 3:3 Prepare ye the way Of the
Lord, make his paths straight" In in
Producing his theme, repentance, he
said that nothing in THE world Is
more important than soul welfare.
The first step In preparing the way Of
the Lord is by repentance and getting
right with God. He described the an
cient custom when heralds with
trumpets went before the chariot Of
the king, crying, THE king is coming
Prepare ye the way" All irregulari
tites in the road would be filled and
means Of crossing streams would be
provided. He compared repentance to
he bridge between lost world and
heaven. a bridge between the sinners
heart and God The steps toward re-
pentance that sinner must take are
recognition OF his sin, accompanied
by such genuine contrition that he
,eases his SHINING; confession Of his
sin to God and restitution to man
against whom he may ahve trans
yressed; belief that his sins are for
given and an absolute trust in Gods
word. In closing he pictured Gods
yearning for the sinner, and the abso-
Lutte pard He grants those who turn
% Him In faith.
These revival services will continue
indefinitely, with Bible study at 9 a.
