among them being W. H. Speicher of
Paradise, and Mrs. S. S. Bender, of
Kitzmiller. The names of others will
appear when learned in a column to
be devoted monthly to the work in

pies conference with every moment
brimful of interest, this meeting be-

SEVENTH ANNUAL SUNDAY
SCHOOL CONVENTION
Held at Deer Park Last Satur-
day and Sunday a Success

The Seventh Annual Convention of
the Garrett County Sunday School
Association may well go on record as
being a success. The people Of Deer
Park, where the convention was held,
were lavish in their hospitality, all
throwing open their homes to the Wis
iting delegation with the warmheart-
edness that characterizes the people
Of the county. The weather was per-
feet, which added greatly to the en-
! i0yment Of the convention.
The opening session on Saturday
afternoon was taken up chiefly with
the enrolment Of delegates, round ia
bic discussions and departmental con-
ferences, with devotional exercises and
addresses by Rev. Buckley, of Oak
land, and others. The church was
tastefully decorated with flowers and
plants. A splendid choir was present
throughout the convention sessions.
The evening session, aside from
necessary business matters, was taken
up with service of prayer and song
led by Rev. Adkins of Deer Park, fol-
lowed by two splendid addresses, one
Sunday School Problems of a~Town
Pastor" was handled ably by Rev. D.
NJ. Funk, of Oakland, and the other,
Sunday School Problems of Rural
Pastor" with equal directness and
force by the Rev. E. E. Campbell, of
Bittinger.
Sunday morning found a crowd of
eager workers waiting for the open
ing session, which was at ten o'clock
with prayer and song service. Each
session was presided over by the
president, Mr.. f. R. Jones, of Oak
land, who has done so much to make
the Association a success. Mr.. Jones
spoke briefly upon the work, being
followed by Col. Joseph D. Cudlipp,
State Superintendent of the Young
Peoples Division, who in his impell-
ing, sympathetic manner, presented
e'The Art of Teaching Young People"
in way that could not help but be
of benefit to the teachers present.
Miss Lillian Mccormick, State Super
intendent of Elementary Work, next
presented in comprehensive manner
the need of a Children's Week to en-
phasize the work this department of
the schools, outlining plan which, it
is asked, will be observed during the
week of October 14th to 21st. 1t is
believed that many of the schools will
adopt this program as far as posi-
BILE.
There was delightful music by the
choir and male quartet rendered
most admirably and tremendously
selection, the quartet being composed
of Messrs. Brown, Cuppett, Lee and
Lester Rodeheaver, of the Deer Park
M. f. church. Then Mr.. j. NJ. Ell
dredge, of Beckley, West Va, Gen
eral Secretary of Sunday School work
in Raleigh county, spoke of the Won
derful progress being made in the
Masters work in that county, where
with the splendid cooperation of the
coal companies, Sunday schools are
being started, conventions are being
held both in the county and in dis
tricts and as a result lawlessness is
becoming less prevalent each year as
the work goes on.

BIG JESS

NEW YORK, July 12.-That q
good big man can beat good little
man is the accepted pugilistic
theory. But whether a good big
man, endowed with skill and price
less experience, can beat an equally
good big man. with youth and
strength in his favor, win be put to
test tonight when Jess Willard.

clashes with Luis Firpo. the
meteoric South American. in
twelve-round no-decision out at
Jersey City. The winner has been.
promised a title bout with Jack
Dempsey.
The Broadway gentry have made
Firpo and 8-to-5 favorite. 1t is
probable Firpo may even be a
longer favorite, as there was pre-
ponderance Of money to be bet on
him this morning, with little VIII

Jimmy Deforest, Firpo's trainer,
said he had schooled his charge
in his only apparent weakness-a
left hand. Deforest claimed the
South American is hitting as hard
| with his left as he is with his right.
''Firpo will be in the best of
shape tonight" Deforest said. I've
got him in better shape than he
was for any of his fights. He will
come in at PA pounds. He is GO

ever before. They talk about
Firpo's strength, but remember
Willard is no weakliug. Any man
he hits, Willard will beat, and
Firpo can be hit"
An interesting angle to the bout
will be the battle Of wits behind
the lines. Deforest will be supreme
in Firpo's corner. Sicily will have

Dan O'Learys Life
Model Of Clean
Existence

ALI the modern training
methods and all the resources
of the newest physical educa-
ton policies could perhaps
never produce a sounder ath-
lete than old Dan O'Leary, the
pedestrian. He is eighty-two
years old and for fifty years
has celebrated his birthday by
walking 100 miles. He calcu-
lates that he has walked about
287,0O0 miles.
The value of walking as q
healthful exercise has never
been demonstrated more force
fully than in the case of this
veteran. O'Leary has proved
that clean, moderate living is
the best conditioner for every
type of athlete, and his mar
velous vitality at eighty-two
should be sufficient incentive
for those who are skeptical
about the value of hiking as an
exercise to ride less and walk
more.
