The corner bootlegger sells all those poisons-

courage to turn on spotlight Only the vision and public
spirit newspaper publisher made possible the ending OF this
horrifying practice.

FROM THE SHOULDER

The world Is constantly hurting
accusations at the church, but 1t
does not point you to the real rob
bers. Would man rob God? No.
But q Bolshevik, hypocrite, and
hereto would. They are r0bbing
the church every day.
They are sending their agents,
their railroads.&c. and Bolshevist1c
heretics into the church. OF course,
they have to perjure themselves and
SINCE their own souls in order to
get in. Then when they enter the
church their obligations begin not
to the church but to the conspfra-
tors against the church. There isn't
a hereto in the church today who
isn't the conscious or unconscious
agent Of the conspirators who are
trying to rob the church OF her In
fiuence and power.
Heresy is not an intellectual evO-
luton; it is absolute proof Of the
total depravity Of mankind. These
agents preach their false doctrines
because they are part Of cOnspir
acy to destroy the worlds conf
dence in the church.
There is another group OF con-
spirators and robbers who are both
] in and out Of the church. Their
method is to take from the church
for circular use every dollar that
they can possibly extract from the
members. They are constantly de-
vising schemes and plans and or
CARNATIONS and methods by which
the church member is relieved of
his money and is made to contribute
to organizations, methods, plans,
and programs, which are antagon-
istic to the spiritual work of the
church.
Nearly seventy per cent Of all the
moneys contributed to these outside
competing antagonistic and destruc-
tive agencies is contributed by the
members of the Christian Church.
They are robbing the church men,
Der, the church organization, and
God in order that they may fill the
Golfers of the devil and build up the
institutions of hell. They are all
co-conspirators with the infamous
heretics that are today making their
attacks upon the church, upon the
Bible, and upon Christ,

bank, its financial stability, its officers,
directors and stockholders and you
will build prestige and strengthen pub
lie confidence in your institution.
Enumerate the various kinds of SER
vice your bank Is prepared to render.
1t has been my experience that the
public is on the lookout for informa-
ton about banks, banking methods
and the kinds Of service rendered by
banks. For quick results am a firm
believer in sticking to subjects which
have direct bearing on banks, bank
ing methods and service, until the
public has become better informed
about banks and the wide variety Of
services rendered by them.
A New Plan
eff you have not been successful
with newspaper advertising try this
plan. Confne your advertising within
the scope of banking and especially
enumerate the various services which
your bank is prepared to offer. Boil
down every advertisement to one hun
drsd words or less, preferably less.

Nobody Overworked.

Prof. William Palmer Wynne Of
England announces his discovery, ar
rived at through years of study and
practice among the human species,
that no person ever suffered from
overwork. On the contrary, this stu
dent of the vagaries of the human
mind and nervous system says, as we
are told by the Los Angeles Times.
that most people suffer from not hav-
Ing enough work to do. What blow
to all our preconceived ideas! Who
has not at some time in his career
INDUCED in magnificent debauch of
self-pity because of the heavy bur-
dens placed on his bending shoulders
and breaking back? And if this idea
becomes widely prevalent how it will
revolutionize our daily life. The chief
excuse for surliness having been re
moved. people will have to reserve
some Of their company smiles for
home use, and life will be as rosy and
gay as youth dreams it Is.
