As Tacoma, far behind It's 1880
population. continued Wednesday
drive for more names. smaller
communities in Pierce county re-
ported substantial gains in popu-
lation. according to Mrs. Kathryn
Malstrom, u. S. census director
for the district.
Alderton, small valley COM
munity near Sumner. counted 612
residents. 80 more than lived
there when the 1880 census was
taken. Population figures for
Buckley, Sumner. Eatonville and
other towns in the county were
expected to be published within
the next few days. Mrs. Malstrom
said.
Indications are that all will show
comparatively large gains, which
bears out the theory that losses in
Tacoma proper have been caused
principally by 'back-to-the-coun-
try" movement.
Meanwhile, five leaders of emu
merator squads were busily en-
gagged in covering the entire city,
checking all possible leads on per-
sons believed unenumerated. And
Supt. Howard Goold of the Tacoma
public schools announced that ap-

But you didn't like some

thing. When we had our Ameri-

1887. OF course Roosevelt approved
the plans. But there wasn't a
single picture or statue or photo
graph of him In the whole thing"
"Well?" said the Russian girl.
1--WE Americans think that was
good taste. And I noticed that in
the Italian building, there were no
pictures of Mussolini, even though
he approved the designs. We
Americans thought that was good
taste, toe"
'Bnt the Russian people

OF n grin back.
There are lots Of people in
America who don't like Roose-

There were lots who didn't

The Russian girl shook her
head firmly. "But In Russia
everybody loves Stain. They
would not understand II II his

And she said this so calmly and
firmly that was sure she believed

GREAT REVIVAL AT NEWELL
CHAPEL c. Nd. E. CHURCH

Reverend Mathew ]. Jones, pastor Of
Newell Chapel CINE. Church, has Just
closed one of the greatest revivals at
Newell Chapel Church that the church
and members have witnessed for a
lumber of years. About nine persoss
were added to the church and The
membership was greatly revived and
everybody seemed to have been happy
The preaching was done by the pastor,
Reverend Jones, who preached every
night but Monday night at which time
the Rev. E. F. Young preached strong
sermon.
The Presiding Elder, R. L. Young
had suggested to the pastor that he
conduct his own meeting and that no
collection be taken until Friday night
at the close of the meeting. The pastor
and members readily accepted he sug-
gestion and idea of the Presiding Elder
and the meeting closed each night at
approximately $3.50. The total amount
raised during the meeting was approx
mately 5000.
The pastor and members of Newell
Chapel Church are about ready now to
go to the Annual Conference. Yes, if
the members of various churches decide
within themselves that it can be done,
a revival can be conducted without
takinp a collection each night, but at
the close Of the meeting and the finan-
cial side will still be a success.
