The coop gas pump is becoming
a familiar sight on streets of
Western towns and small cities.
Minneapolis has six gas stations.
Madison, Wis, has three, a coal
yard, and a milk distribution
plant.
Last year the Madison society
did business of $4,000. This
year it is running that up to $780,
900.
The. same story is being re-
peated in hundreds of towns
throughout the country. The CO.

good hard figures of dollars and
cents.

something had to be done. Whole

be locked and passengers barred therefrom
Several phials of morphine were found in the
wreckage. A hole which some thought probably had
been made by bullet fired inside the plane was also
discovered in a piece of metal. The wreckage also
turned up an unidentified revolver Then there was
the aforementioned rumor that passenger had been
financially embarrassed and had taken out large
amount of insurance.
The official report, although admitting the pos
slbll1ty among others of interference with the
pilot, neither explained nor mentioned any of those
discoveries. The rigid Department of Commerce
censorship has resisted efforts to obtain light

Both practical common sense and applied Christ anty are shown by the agreement of the Baptist Con- gregationa, Methodist Presbyerans and Disciples ito reduce the expenditure of money in over-churched munities This means that they have decided to stop competing with another in l.tlo towns and villages and in rural regions generally. The idea is that it is better to have strong church than half dozen aak and struggling churches
 There was time half a century ago, when the Protestant denominations had few fraerna relatO,S.

 True worship under such circumstances suffers For the most part 1t is impossible for poVertysricken churches to obtain ministers of power and effectiveness As rule their not regular services each Sunday, but pastor will serve several congregations.
