HERE THEY ARE
BOUQUETS AND BRICKBATS ARE
DISTRIBUTED
COmmendatiOn and Criticism Handed
Out PrOmiscuOusly as Deemed
Just by Our Hired Man
AFTER SUNDAY MOVIES, Ell?

Rumor has it that at the instigatlon
of the Lords Day Alliance, a New
York aggregation, initiatory steps
have been taken and a petition start
ed with view of closing Newark pic
ture houses on Sunday.
This small town stuff has been put
across in several places in Ohio, much
to the disgust of majority OF the
citizens. 1t has usually survived for
a brief period, as it met with so great
a protest and opposition that its back
ers were glad to crawfish and call the
thing off.
How any fair minded man, preach
er or otherwise, can see any harm IN
sitting in a we'll ordered movie house
and viewing clean artistic picture,
is beyond the ken of the ordinary
mortal; but then some are gifted with
unusually sharp vision, especially
when out scouting for someone VINO
violates their one-sided idea of trav-
cling the straight and narrow path.
You know it is comparatively short
time since our estimable fOrefathers
put man in the stocks for kissing
his own wife on the Sabbath day.
These same kind of birds are with US
today, and some of them will bear
close watching when it comes to their
weekday business dealings.
You can't make a man religious by
law. It's against the fundamental
teachings of Christ. The progress OF
Christianity has been due entirely to
persuasion and proving the truth OF
the scriptures. Point out to a man
the desirability of leading a better
life; show him the light and where
his duty lies. Prove to him that there
is only one right way to live and that
is to live right, and the only way to
live right is to obey the ten com
mandments. When he accepts this
,tfuth-as free moral agent, you can
feel that you have accomplished
something. You can't make him reli,
gious by hitting him over the head
with a club.

New York-Rather interesting is
the testimony being adduced in the
trial of CASTOR B. Means, in New
York, charged with liquor law viola
tions.
According to the evidence, Sec
retary Mellon gave approximately
$1,OO0,OO0 to the Republican cam
paign committee in 1920. In order
that this money might be returned it
was decided to charge an excess fee

of 5000 per barreel for all liquor re-
reased from bond.
To collect this $500 no care was
exercised in the issuance of with
drawal permits, and bootleggers were
taken care of along with legitimate
dealers.
The testimony indicates Means was
employed by President Harding to
uncover this little scheme, and as a
result of his work he is now being
prosecuted by those involved.

THE AUTO NOT TO BLAME

The "Hired Man" has frequently
heard individuals remark the automo-
bile is the cause of many of our pres
ent day troubles. We don't agree
The use of the automobile is the
cause. Some individuals expect the
use of the automobile on the other
fellows expense. Some individuals
use their automobiles the same as
some employers would like to use
their employees.
The whole thing hinges down to
that word reason. Automobiles are
a necessity in our opinion. But oper-
ate an automobile in conjunction with
your income. Don't expect to oper-
ate Packard with Ford income
md don't operate Ford without the
Ford income.
The minute you attempt to oper-
ate anything above your income you

She were long dressing gown, and her
hair hung loose down her back. AT
the sight of her the crowd was silent,
and Winton, crouched under the blan-
kets, ready to make his last fight for
the girl, waited. with every muscle taut
and every nerve quivering, for the mo-
ment that never came.
Perhaps in his ignorance Of frontier
life he misjudged the rough and ready
nature of Malopo's inhabitants. He
had seen the worst side of Malopo only.
The mob hung back. ashamed.

steadily.

stretcher and staggered toward the
girl, who was still standing beside the
door. The robe which she had flung
over her dress lay at her feet. where
she had thrown 1t. She was coiling up
her hair in knot behind. AS Winton
came toward her she turned from him
and hid her face in her hands.

gan. II want to thank you, but that
sounds foolish after what you have
done for me- I'm going now"
But instead of going toward the door

he will become a millionaire and a

CHAPTER v
The stockhoIdsrx Mee.lnu.

The next thing Of which Winton
was aware was that the moonlight had
given place to the light Of day. 1t was
intolerable, in spite OF the strip of
heavy material that had been pinned
before the window. Winton raised his
head, and groaned at the stabbing pain
| in his temples. He saw the stretcher
bed and a quantity of dried blood on
the blankets, and he did not remember
what had happened to him or know
where be was.
CHANGING about him in bewilderment,
he saw the bare brick walls Of the
interior of the house. The floor was
of boards, roughly laid down, and a
strip of cheap carpet led into the room
from another room behind the door,
Between two of the loosened planks
was a little pyramid Of earth, the
nights labors of the white ants that
swarsned everywhere.
The room contained. besides the
stretcher bed, chair, little mirror,
and a cheap bureau. In a corner were
some shelves with crockery and cook
ing utensils.
Then Winton remembered, and he
groaned again and made a brave effort
to rise. AT the sound Sheila came
through the doorway. Her eyes were
red and heavy, and she did not look
at him, but set down a tray beside
him, with cup of tea and some strips
of toast scorched over an open fire.
"How do you feel nowT she asked
anxiously.
"I'm better" muttered Winton, try
ing to rise once more. But she put him
gently back upon the pillow.
"You are not well enough to get up"
she said. you must rest till night
fall, and then shall try to get you out
of Malopo. Father may be back today,
but if he comes he will be in no con-
dition TO understand or to cause
trouble"
"Why should leave Malopo?" asked
Winton. "Who do you think l amp"

What "Soferiau Means

The use of soteria in England is
new. 1t is Greek word which means
salvation. 1t derives its meaning
from two other Greek words. one
meaning delverance or safety; the
other to rescue from danger. There

the full meaning Of safe deliverance
from danger.
