ALTER ATIONS

Alterations on the old court house

house, have been started and work

plate glass windows.
Emory Girard, local contractor,
will have charge of the work of re-
modelling the building, and it is
hoped that the work will be COM
pleted some time in August, so that
the Elks can take possession of the
building at that time.
Judge NJ. w. Conkling, exalted
ruler of the lodge, stated today that
the Elks plan to make the club
house as attractive as any in the
southwest and that several innova-
tions will be included IN the equip
ment.
The present quarters of the lodge
at Sixth and State street have been
inadequate for some time, and the
Elks took advantage of the oppor-
tunlty TO purchase the court house

TEST OF FIRE
HYDRANTS IS
REVELATION

"If any fire gets away from us
in the future, we certainly will not
be able to alibi on account of lack
of water" said Chief Ferguson of
the fire department today, follow
ing test of several hydrants re-
Gently, when the members of the
fire department found out just what
the new water supply means to
them.
One of the hydrants tested out was
at New and Olive streets, the
furthest removed from the pumping
plant, the chief said, and here the
flow of water and the pressure, sur
prised them. Where they have here
tofore been able to get only thin
stream, even with the use of the
pumper, there was plenty of water
last night without the use of the
pumper.
At Seventh and State streets, five
streams operated from one hy1rant,
four being run through the pumper
and one being used off the fire ny
drant direct. Although the pumper
only has a capacity of $50 gallons a
minutes, there was a flow of approx
imately 1016 gallons per minute, and
even with the pumper going full
force, the volume of the stream
through the hydrant was not di-
minished.
The hydrant at this particular
point was used for the test to show
what can be done in the business
section of the city. The same re-
suits have been obtained at any
other point in the business sec
ton, he said, and Seventh and State
streets was only used as there is a
vacant lot at that point.
The chief paid a compliment to
the board of trustees in providing
such an excellent water system, and
also said the people of Ell Centre
have certainly made good invest
ment in furnishing the city with
such protection.

POOL ROOMS OPERATE
UNDER NEW LAW


Pool rooms are now operating un-
der the new law passed by the recent
Legislature, which makes it misde-
meanor for minors to either play OF
loiter in pool room, without per-
NIT from their parents or legal guar
dian. Under the new law, the opera
tor of pool room is also held respon-
sible for Migrants frequenting his es-
tablishment and for Intoxicating IL
ouor sold or drunk on the premises.
It also prohibits gambling in any
form or the use of the pool tables for
such games as "kelly pool" keno,
"pigeon pool" "poker pool, star"
or "scrub." 1t is misdemeanor for
any pool room to be open between
midnight and 900 a. m.
The new law also requires that ap,,
plication for licenses to operate pool
rooms must be made before both the
county tax collector and the city
clerk, and the prospective operator
must also make an oath that ne will
carry out the provisions of the law
It also makes it mandatory for the
police department in each city and
sheriff of each county to inspect poo
rooms at regular periods and see that
the law is enforced.

Atlanta. Ga.-Business men, bank

editor of Commerce and Finance,

Exposition and embracing number

the Southern states. If done prop
erly, it would probably provide the
South with the biggest and most val

had. 1t would be a tremendous un-
dertaking, but the South is quite able
to do it, if its people could be united
in a determination to carry 1t

The Child In Our Midst
A PAPER READ BY MRS. c. E.
EMERY BEFORE THE SECOND
WARD p. T. A.

The child is still where the Master
placed him in our midst. There is a
tradition that the particular child
mentioned was Ignatius, who was a
prominent figure in the early church
and the second Bishop of Rome.
Fanciful as this tradition may be it
is founded on the meaning of the
name Ignatius, which means carry
ing God" So do all little children
come to US carrying God. When we
look into baby eyes, we know that 9
spark of the divine is hidden back of
them. Horace Wells mother looked
into the eyes of a child who would
save humanity from pain. Nancy
Hanks looked into the eyes of child
who was to save the Republic. Mary
looked into the eyes of child who
was to be the Savior of the world.
But Suppose there is no unusual en-
dowment wrapped up in that child
life. In q democracy the common
man counts. What he thinks and
| what he is nOuids public opinion and
controls destiny. That which is most
desired in the man should be put in
the environment of the child in his
early years.
We have been slow to give little
children their rightful place. Christ
sits with us to judge our doings with
reference to this child in our midst.
The coming of the child is challenge
for our best effort. For the most part
no training is ever given for parent
hood and we enter upon the most i'm
portant business of life with little or
no preparation. Strange that we
should raise corn by scientific cul-
ture but raise children by hit or miss.
The value of these parent-teacher as
sociations is their combined efforts
for child welfare. They help all
parents and especially the younger
ones so that better health and purer
life may be built up that will be to
the honor of the parents and the
glory of God. They bring the homes
parents and teachers cooperate intel
ligently in the education of their chill
dren. Parents need to know the
teachers personally because there are
so many problems in child's life that
can be better solved by parent and
teacher working together in perfect
understanding. We know that if we
surround the child's life with wise
loving care in his impressionable
years that we will develop good citi-
zens instead of law-breakers and
criminals.
