NEWEST REFORMERS
ARE GIVEN "ROAST"
PUBLISHER LAMBASTS THOSE
WHO WANT CONGRESS TO
STOP SUNDAY PAPERS.

ATLANTA, Ga.-And now con-
gress is to be asked to take away the
Sunday newspaper.
1t is about time that the minority
ceased imposing their ideas on the ma
jority through clever manipulation of
governmental bodies, in the opinion
OF anti-reformers here. 1t is even
more reprehensible. il was pointed
out. when this outrage is perpetrated
in the name OF morality and religion.
where these Napoleons of purity
get the divine authority to turn the
world from its peaceful contemplation
OF its Sunday newspaper is beyond
us, said an Atlanta publisher.
"Why, it places the Sunday news
paper along with some OF the con-
temptible common nuisances,' such as
saloons, dives, obscene pictures and
houses OF i'll repute. In other words,
the Sunday newspaper is a menace, a
leech on the body polite, sucking out
the moral life-blood OF the communi-
ty. to such an extent that congress
must step in and deliver a morally
depraved public from reading of the
march OF events, simply because the
account of the happenings is printed
and distributed on Sunday.
'Fie, twaddle and also bosh! On be-
half OF all the fine representative,
clean, informative, honest and straight
forward Georgia and southern Sunday
newspapers we must emphatically
protest this foul calumny, this bigoted
of valuable right arm
OF fair dealing and good government
the Fourth Estate. The newspaper
but reflects the good and bad in hui
mans Let them mend their ways and
the Sunday newspaper will then re-
fleet a good image instead of bad
one Sic semper tyrannis!"

MILLION BAPTISMS BY
SOUTHERN BAPTISTS
NEW EVANGELISTIC RECORD
FOR FIVE YEARS is SET
UP IN THE SOUTH.

More than one million new mem
bers have been received into the Bap-
fist churches Of the south by baptism
alone during the past five years, &C
cording to a survey by DR.. E. P. All
dredge. statistical secretary OF the
Southern Baptist convention, The ex-
act figures. 1,037,550 baptisms set a
new record not only for Southern Bap-
lists. but for any evangelical body in
America, the records reveal. This
achievement is equivalent to "A bap-
tisms for every hour, $40 Tor every
dav. 5000 per week, 1922 per month
and 207,510 per year.
Prominent in the achievement OF
this result has been the home mission
board of the Southern Baptist conven-
ton. with headquarters in Atlanta, Ga.
This board, organized eighty years
ago has. within that time, more than
a million baptisms and ,426,3S6 addi-
tions to the churches to show for the
labors OF its missionaries, while the
agents OF the board have within that
period raised and disbursed in mission
work in the south, Panama and Cuba
the sum of S18,213,33610.
Last % Years Productive.
The larger part of these achieve
ments OF the home board has come
during the past p years, covering the
secretaryship OF DR.. B. d. Gray. I'm
der DIR. Gray's administration the
workers OF the board have baptized
co.. 407 persons, received 1,l22,3 44 per-
sons into the churches and organized
1907 new churches. Within the same
period the agents of the board have
raised and disbursed in mission work
the sum Of $14,723,595.87.
The evangelistic department of the
home mission board has been its
greatest single evangelistic asset. This
department has been without an active
head recently, but the board has just
called to that position DR.. Ellis A.
Fuller OF Greenville, S. c.
Southern Baptists have been far
more successful in winning converts
and church members than they have
been in the general spiritual develop
ment of the members, it is pointed
out.> In the hope of bringing about
a development of the 3,574,53l mem
bers OF the denomination to the point
where all of them will have share in
supporting all the missionary, educa-
tional and benevolent work fostered
by the denomination an every mem
Der" canvass will be conducted in a
majority Of the $4,000 Baptist church
es throughout the south. AS fully as
possible individual Baptists are being
urged to give tenth OF their income
to Christian work.
So extensively have the various mis-
sionary and benevolent enterprises
fostered by southern Baptists grown
in recent years that it now requires a
minimum of $12,OO0,000 per year to
keep the work growing. Each state
is being asked to provide its proper
tionate share OF this amount. The state
boards, in turn, are asking the respec-
tive associations in their states to ac
cept definite quotas for 1926, and the
associations, in turn, are asking the
local churches to assume definite
proportion of the associational object
i've for the year.

CARSWELLlQUITS
FARM COLLEGE
BY Practical Experience Will Learn if
Scientific Methods He Has Been
Teaching Are Workable

O. w. Carswell, who for the past
foursyears has been teaching agricul-
ture at the Third District A. and NJ.
school, has rendered his resignation.
Mr.. Carswell announces his purpose
to devote his time to farm he has
bought in Sumter county.
Mr.. Carswell, when questioned in
regard to his reason for moving to
the farm, says if there are any profits
or advantages to be gained from sci
entihc farming he is entitled to enjoy
them. II, says he, scientific agricul-
ture which he has been teaching is
not workable then it is very unwise
for him to continue to teach and en-
courage young men to engage in that
occupation.

JOYFUL NEWS!

1t has been many long day since the valley heard
better news than was impaired at the chamber of
commerce luncheon this week. when Gov. Richardson
and his party of state highway engineers were enter
tanned guests of honor.
Members of the commission made the announce
ment that bids for construction of graveed highway
from Imperial to Brawey would be advertised for not
later than March 2 and that unless rghts-ofway from
FL Centre to Hotville secured very shortly
dcmnatlOn proceedings will be started
This. coupled with the completion of the splcn-
did new Yuma highway in whose honor we celebrate
February %, and the projected new plank road
the sand hills give real cause for rejoicing The de-
porable condition of many of most travelled roads
IN the VALLEY has long been sore spot not only with
residents, but with every stranger within gates
The roads between Imperial and Brawley and this
city and HoItvlle IN particular have been nightmare
for years and owing to the character of valley soil,
have been quagmires of mud every time it raned.
Much untavorabe publicity has accrued for the valley
the result Of the awful condition of main roads
and we have often wondered how much longer the
longsuffering public Of Imperial Valley would be able
to stand it.
But every lane has turning, and at last we see
light ahead with the official announcement that work
will be begun before any other project is started
in the whole state. With funds low and the outlook
dubious for many paving jobs all the state,
have double to feel thankful that the governor
and state engineers have become convinced of the i'm
peratve need for better roads in Imperial Valley and
are going to see that get them.
If the property owners between here and Holtve
are shoTt-slghed enough to make condemnation pro-
ceedngs necessary there will be some slight delay but
the fact that know the work will be expedited
much possible is cheering indeed.
There is way to measure the beneficial effects
that will the valley in general and Ell Centro
IN particular, with the completion Of the Yuma high
way and the improvement OF roads inside own
county. 1t will bring hundreds Of automobile tourists
through midst monthly, doubling Thomases, many
OF them who would never have believed that sandy
desert could be made to bloom the unless they
could see it with their very eyes. The fame of
Imperial Valley will be further broadcasted through
out the land by many new apostles-conVerts to our
green fields, blue skies and splendid opportunities

JUVENILE JUDGE AND FRIEND

A newspaper, telling Of the Improvement IN recent
years in the handling Of wayward children, describes
the work of juvenile court follows:
"A Judge Of juvenile court has to be an inter-
prefer rather than judge. His primary object is not
to determine and punish guilt when of youthful
waywardness come before him. 1t is to find way out
to interpret to advise, and to lend helping hand. 1t
to consider social relationships well the nature
of the childs offense 1t is to look beyond the tOu
walls of a court and to discover the environmenta
forces which have contributed to boys msdemeanor
It is to answer the challenge Of the child with insight
and sympathy.'
This places a huge responsibility on the judge and
on the people who choose the Judge. 1t presents hap
pier outlook for children Themselves increasingly
