BLUE TALK TO
BE SQUELCHED
Speaker Says Commune
ty Still Retains All
It's Advantages

The Commercial club, along
With its other activities, is at pres
mt sponsoring an effort to change
the morale of the inhabitants of
tie valley. A series of talks will
b given at the club meetings for
the next few weeks with the main
hea Of killing off the inclination
q people to mourn over the trials
q the district and to harp a little
.ronger upon the more favorable
features.
The speaker at today's luncheon,
where the subject was opened, took
tor his theme the statement that
the crying need for this district
= capital rather than credit" In
MS talk Mr.. Moulten pointed out
several very pertinent facts which
related to the advantages which
this community enjoys and made
me statement that the person who
eweils upon the unfavorable con-
utlons is simply undermining his
Own investment and livelihood. He
Nd the man who ccznes to this
valley with the idea of taking q
p'ece Of land for the purpose of
:eiilng it at a much higher price
2 detriment to the welfare of
sne district. The man who comes
aere with the other idea of build
mg a home and making a comfort
s0ie living, who was willing and
put IN the work necessary to ac-
eomplish this purpose was bound
!" make good. Many such instances
could be cited, the speaker said.
Inis community still has all the
sovantages in the way of it's ear
y season, fine climate, location
ana other advantages that it ever
mao, Mr.. Moulton said, and these
sovantages should be brot forward
,atner than some temporary mis-
aortune, the like of which visits

ihe talk today was the first of
8 series which will be given at
.ne club meetings in the near fu-
sre, each having a different angle

TELLS OF RED CROSS

Miss Lucille Withers, a Red
Cross nurse who spent several
weeks in the devastated Mississippi
valley doing relief work, was the
principal speaker at the Kiwanis
luncheon Tuesday. She told of the
methods of the National Red Cross
and of the kind of work the or
ganization is doing. Her descrip-
tion of the havoc caused by the
flood was exceptionally interest
ing. She also explained that with
but few exceptions the workers in
this huge organization were un-
paid volunteers who were ready
to answer calls at any moment.
She said that the portion of the
money paid to the national head
quarters from the annual member
ship did not go to pay salaries,
but it was entirely spent in relief
work, largely among the disabled
war veterans and their families.

PRINCE 0F P|LSEN' BEST
 COMEDY 0F THE SEASON

This is no press agent notice full of upers-superlatives It's cold-blooded fact. Ask any one who was at the Liberty last night.
 Seward movie fans enjoyed the treat of the season last night when they saw George Sydney inject more clean comedy into his work than could be garnered in a half-season of picture plays that lay claim to being comedies. First the audience began to litter, then it laughed and finally broke into a riot of uproarious hilarity that shook the theatre. When Sydney pulled his anti-climax sides were aching and fat men began to resemble a bowl of clabber about to spill overall they could do was to ''unk-unk."
 Sydney is a smile even to look at; whenever his facial expression chan ges there is laugh; when he suits the action to the word-well all those who saw him in the "Kellys and Cohens" saw an amateur perform ance compared to his role as the pseu- do Prince of Pilsen. It cannot be de- scribed; it must be seen. The fun will stick to your ribs to make you gigle for week every time you think of it.-The Gateway.

WHAT LUTHERANS TEACH
 GODS LAW

Lutherans teach that Gods law de- mands perfection of heart, thought, word, and deed; that it wholly con- demns all who transgress it; that it cannot save sinners; and that it's chief function since the Fall is to lead man to the knowledge of his depraved condition.
