Our pastor Rev. C. W. Cole, closed his revival meeting after carrying it on for ten days, and much success was derived. Our meeting closed with a big baptizing, and 29 souls were buried in the water Sunday. The banks of the river was crowded, more than three hundred people viewed the procession. The baptizimal sermon was preached Sunday morning by Rev. Wilkins, of St. Louis. Mo His text was "What shall I do to be saved?" Our spiritual strength was renewed through this sermon. We left the church after our 11 o'clock service and went to the water. Services Sunday after-moon and evening were well attended. Rev. Head of Cairo, preached an interesting Sacramental sermon Our pastor has raised our church to a standard that it has never been before. Collection for the day was $71.10 Mary E. Daniels, Reporter. "What Thou Doest. Do It Quickly." Bro. Editor: You will recall the fact that some time ago we called attention to the critical illness of Dr. Dan Parish, Md. City. We were told by Missionary Thos Turner, that while in Md. City a few days ago, Eld. Parish was loaded up for the "poor farm." But the church of Mounds of which he pastored upwards of 30 years reflected, and had him brought back to his home Shame, shame on the Ministers of the denomination to allow a Minister to go to the potter's home to die. We raised $117.00 at the Mt. Zion Baptist church Dewmaine, and turned the same over to Eld. C. W. Cole, to look after his wants. Brethren, take up a collection at once for him at once, send same to Pastor Cole, if you like, or any one else, just so you send. The aged ministers home ought to loom up. Now, Brethren, what will we do? He that seeth his brother in need and hast this world's goods and shutteth up his bowels of compassion how dwelleth the love of God in him. C. C. Philips, Golconda. An Appeal. To the various churches of the W. E. and M. Society of the Mt. Olive Baptist District Association. My very dear sisters and brothers, I am asking that you consult your worthy pastors and ask them to please join in with your mission circle, that you all awake a deep interest in the church at large to raise all the money you can and send it with your messenger to the State Association on the 17th of May at Evanston. Ill. that we might able to meet all of our obligations. We want this to be the banner year for the state spiritually and financially, you are also requested to mail your humble servant $1.00 by the 14th for the expenses to the State Association. Mrs. L. Leake, "Rev. Wm. Grave Proof." Since we sent our reply to what "Rev. Graves" says respecting the white. Which reads: "The white Baptist can and will prove that these people (Free Wilis) have changed their faith. Let us see if this is true; Or in other words we will adduce some of the white Baptist proof of which our good brother speaks of. Dr. E. P. Brand, Supt. of Missions of the State Convention (White) says among other things, "The Southern Association held its semi annual meeting at Crainville, February 10-13. He also says a resolution was passed to the effect that the Association would receive wifout re-baptism any Free Will Baptist churches that would send letters requesting admission. This is the proof that the Rev. refrsto; Or rather this is the proof that the white Baptists put up. Rev. Graves says so too. Enemies to our A o l a r i e n have so changed the article to make it read otherwise. The enemies as he calls them have not made out the case as strong as it really is. This resolution makes it as strong as it can be made. This is just what the enemies have said. They have just simply told the truth. And Dr. Craves' church nor any of the others need not be in the dark if they wish to have the light. Dr. Graves has brained himself with his own club. The proof is taken from the Illinois Baptist (White): We presume it is quoting the Dr Brands Buliten, Mouth piece of the State Convention (White) We are not so much concerned abot the white Free Wills, as we are our own people. The white Missionary Baptists are able to give good account of thems lives along doctrinal lines. Every Sunday morning—for Sunday is the great day for the sport—at the first crack of dawn along the roads and trails that lead into the little settlements and on the streets that twist through the smelly and ramshackle barrios, will be net numbers of Filipino walking with a quick, jaunty step, anticipation written plaintly upon their brown faces and an unusual light in their dark eyes. Each carries his favorite game cock under his arm, and all are converging upon the cockpit. "Lost" Lincoln a Mystery. An oil painting of Abraham Lincoln 25 by 35 inches in size, rescued several years ago from a pile of supposedly wortless furniture taken from the old Red Lion inn in Philadelphia, today forms a mystery over which there is much discussion by artists. After its rescue the picture was hung in a Philadelphia residence where a painter, Baruch M. Feldman, happened upon it and purchased it. He began the work of reclaiming it, and after the dirt had been removed the portrait stood out, clear and well defined in all its features. Artists who have seen the picture are agreed that the character of the portrait is such that the suggestion that it might have been painted from a photograph is rendered absurd. Who painted the "lost" Lincoln is a mystery, and there is no mark or sign to give those studying it a clew that might lead to its identification. Showa Kindergarten's Value. The importance of the kindergarten as an Americanizing influence was urged by Maj. Bradley Martin, president of the National Kindergarten association, at the recent regional citizen's conference in New York. "The kindergarten," said Maj. Martin, "is obviously the ideal means of Americanizing the family through the child; as the child through singing patriotic songs and playing games with other children and receiving moral and ethical instruction, not only learns our language, but also adopts our point of view and becomes a patriotic citizen; and through mothers' meetings and home visits the family is assisted by the kindergarten teacher in the difficult task of adapting itself to the economic and social conditions that it finds in this country. President Harding's Reported Bill of Fare Certainly Smacks of Democ- cratic Simplicity. It is said that the Harding White House bill of fare will include chicken pie, as the first lady of the land knows how to make it—and waffles, browned to a turn, by the efficient old-fashioned colored cook of the Harding household. This smacks of democratic simplicity and "honey" housekeeping of the good old days. The state breakfast and the diplomatic dinner are necessarily more pretentious, and "old-time eating," served in the old-time way, if not altogether discountenanced, is so disguised as to make the satisfying plenty of the home table seem like a far-off dream. But, allowing for the proprieties of state banquets and the like, there is never a distinguished guest of them all but that has come up from plain "home raising," and still remembers the dishes of old days as more to thank God for than all the French refinements of later repasts. The "homelessness" and heartiness of the former linger with them forever in much the same way as they did with our old friend of the "Uncle Remus" stories when, after a certain notable banquet, and he seldom attended such, he remarked: "Now I'm going home to eat!" —Atlanta Constitution. TENANT FINDS BURIED MONEY And Now a Court Must Pick the Owner of Treasure Discovered Hidden in Jars. Rumors of the finding of a great treasure in the old Holland house here have been confirmed by the filing of cult in the Fayette county circuit court by the administrators of the Holland estate against a dozen defendants alleged to have shared in the division of the treasure, which amounted to $21,000, says a dispatch from Nuttallberg, W. V., to the Pittsburgh Dispatch. Attachments were served on 50 banks in the surrounding section, where the money is believed to have been deposited. The story of the treasure reads like romance. In the sixties William Holland, veteran of the Crimean war, came to this country from England and settled in the Pennsylvania coal fields. In 1872 he came to Kenney's creek and began the development of a kiln. He built a home here in 1885, where he resided until his death in 1918. He was an eccentric character, and none of his family knew of his habit of hiding money. He died suddenly of heart failure. After Holland's death the home passed into the hands of William Nelson, superintendent of the coat company, who began repairs and reconstruction. The gold was found in different jars at different times. Shuts Out Sound. Persons who wish to concentrate their attention upon studies, business matters or what not, often find themselves most annoyingly distracted by noises of one kind or another. Street traffic may be disturbing; the crying of a baby may irritate, or perhaps the yowling of cats on a back fence or the persistent tooting of a cornet in the neighborhood may induce exasperation. To obviate this sort of trouble, Gabino Jauregui of Bridgeport, Conn., has devised what he calls the "ear slencer." It is a frame of light construction which may be fixed upon the head in such a way that two screws carrying soft rubber plugs on their ends are inserted into the ears. When this adjustment has been made exactly right the two screws that carry the rubber plugs enter the wearer's ears horizontally and have only to be tightened sufficiently in order to fit snugly and exclude all troublesome sounds. Opossum a Pest in Australia New Zealand has a native species of opossum which wears a very beautiful fur. It is not at all like the opossum that we know in this country. Many years ago it was introduced into Australia, and, finding there none of the natural enemies that preyed up on it in its own land, it has since increased in numbers until it has become a serious pest. It is a robber of fruit trees. However, the value of the animal for its fur is so great as to outweigh the damage it does in the fruit-growing sections, and in view of this fact, the Australians are encouraging the increase of opossum in forest districts. Their skins are becoming a considerable item of export, and already many of them are made up into fashionable garments for women in the United States.—Philadelphia Ledger. Halting as Staff of Life. The life of Cuba is largely sustained by rains. Its people consuming the fruit more generally than any other of the Spanish American colonies. A PAPER MILLIONAIRE Man Who Knew the Ropes Talked Common Sense. BY EDGAR TAYLOR WHEELOCK. (Copyright, 1921, American Press, League) (Copyright, 1921, American Press League) Some years ago a young man who had realized a profit on a small real estate deal applied for advice to his employer, a man of many millions who was noted for taking chances on new enterprises. The young man was considering making an investment in the stock of a company which was about to develop a mining claim. Can You Afford to Lose? "How much money have you saved?" asked the employer. The amount was stated, the total being but a few hundred dollars. "Can you afford to lose it?" was the next question. "No," the young man replied; "it is all I have except my salary." "Come with me," the financier said. Ie led the young man to a vault adjoining the office where accountants and clerks were at work and pointed to a pine box in a corner. Box Full of Disappointment. "That box is full of mining and oil stock," he remarked. "It is the accumulation of about twenty-five years of speculation and the par value of the stock aggregates several million dollars. Of course, I did not buy it at its par value; some of it cost me about what you are asked to pay for the stock you are thinking of buying and some of it less. If it is mining stock you want, you can hire an express wagon to cart the box and its contents to your home and you will be a paper multimillionaire, for you can have it if you will take it away. "My advice to you, however, is to keep out of mining and oil stock investments until you have accumulated enough capital so that you can afford to lose, for the chances are about 100 to 1 that you will lose. Go Slow and Play Safe. "Put your money in investment securities, bonds recommended by some reliable bank, trust company or financial house. "The time will come, it always does, when you will have an opportunity to invest in some business with which you are familiar and in which you will have something to say about the management. Keep your money where you can control it; don't give it to strangers to play with. "I can afford to take chances, for in the long run I am ahead of the game, but you are not in my class and should play safe." The young man took his employer's advice and a few years later held a substantial financial interest in a prosperous real estate firm. CHAMPION SPENDER "Coal oil Johnny's" Attempt to Live Up to His Income. By EDGAR TAYLOR WHEELOCK. (Copyright, 1921, American Press League.) Do you remember reading the story of "Coal oil Johnny?" It was nearly if not quite half a century ago that this financial meteor finished across the eastern sky and a trail of very substantial banknotes behind him. Oil had been discovered on the barren Pennsylvania farm on which he had been raised and he suddenly became possessed of something over half a million dollars, which he immediately began to unload. He Hung Up a New Record. After a prolonged debauch, during which he was guilty of every conceivable form of asininity, he came to his sober senses a pauper. He had made a new mark as a spender which still stands as the record. "Coal oil Johnny" is the accepted type of the extravagant waster class of foods who stand at one extreme of the social scale; at the other extreme stands the miser who loves money for itself and hards it. Neither waster or miser is of any particular service to himself or humanity. The individuals who really do count, who serve as constructive forces, who take an active part in the building of communities by alding in the expansion of industries and in the solution of industrial and commercial problems, are those who neither waste nor hoard; the people who save what they can and make their savings work. Living Up to One's Income. The great majority of the American people can if they will belong to this class. It is merely a matter of the standard of living, about which there has been so much talk. As a matter of fact, the standard of living in many cases depends solely upon—not the actual needs of the family—but the size of the family income. A man earning $1,200 to $1,800 in normal times manages to support his family on his income. When, or if, his income or salary, as the case may be, increases to $2,500, then $5,000 and finally, $10,000, his standard of living—cost of living—increases in proportion and the entire income is expended. Should Consider the Future. The size of the income must be taken into account, of course, in fixing the standard of living—the annual budget Metropolis Gazette PUBLISHED ON FRIDAY BY THE GAZETTE PRINTING CO METROPOLIS. . . . .

Snowy Summer The term "Indian summer" is applied to a period of mild, open weather that comes in the fall, embracing the most of October and sometimes extending into November, and characterized by a sort of dry mist or haziness that differentiates it from other seasons of the year. What causes the distinctive features of the season, especially the heavy atmosphere, is unknown, and the origin of the term equally so. Different explanations have been given of both, but they seem to be largely fictual. Read The Gazette. The churches to carry out their mission, as divinely instituted organizations must not forget the poor and needy. If a church or an individual shuts up the bowels of compassion against the widow orphan and the poor, How dwelleth the love of God in them? is a question to be answered. Every church small or large should collect money every Sunday for which to assist the worthy poor both of its flock and the community. Most churches feels they are exempt from this responsible duty if they only pay their pastor and pay off the debts of their church, but it is a very sad mistake as Jesus has said "The poor you have always as much as to say, You have them as your charge and you are responsible to see that they do not suffer. That church which fails to perform its duty in making the needy feel that they can find a friend when in a penniless condition has fallen short of its missions. The chief duty of a church is to save souls and next in importance is to feed the hungry and clothe the naked. At Four-Forty.

Keith's orchestra, called up a local piano tuner and asked him to go to Keith's to tune the piano. "I wish you would give it immediate attention," Ruth told the piano man. "Tune it at four-forty." A day passed and the piano in the Keith pit remained untuned. Ruth called up the man who took the job. "You haven't touched our piano," Ruth said a bit indignantly. "Well, I was over there at 20 minutes to five yesterday afternoon and couldn't get in." was the excuse. And then Ruth explained what he meant by four-forty.—Indianapolis News. Increase in World's Crops. A bulletin issued by the international institute of agriculture announces that the aggregate wheat and rye crops of the northern hemisphere total 62,400,000 metric tons, as against 61,700,000 metric tons in 1919. The production of barley, according to the bulletin was 8 per cent larger than last year, while oats increased 21 per cent. The maize crop of southern Europe was good, and that in America 10 per cent more than last year. The probable yield of beet sugar is considered favorable by the institute. The export of 400,000 tons of wheat from British India is advocated by the institute. Mabel and Myrtle. Representative Dawson, the auti-suffrage leader, said at a luncheon: "Woman's place is the home. When she starts out to imitate man she is absurd. No Announcement of Scientific Discovery May Today Be Looked Upon as Fantastic. That the butterfly contains within itself what Huxley would have called the promise and potency of the cure of tuberculosis and perhaps of other malignant plagues might seem fantastic proposition were it not for our memory of its antecedent, remarks the North American Review. It is now about 55 years since Pasteur perceived in the fermentation of beer and wine the principle which emboldened him to declare that we should one day learn to eliminate all communicable diseases from the world. Biot, Dumas and other veterans of science were incredulous. But crying "Travailier ! tourjours travailier!" the young master of them all proceeded to cure first the "sickness" of beer and wine, then the "silkworm disease," then a formidable poultry pestilence, then one of the deadliest plagues of cattle. Having thus worked his way up in the scale of life, he addressed himself by the same methods to the salvation of man from what had been regarded as the most hopeless and horrible of diseases, rabies, and thus opened the way of Lister, of Koch, of Finlay and Carroll, and to all the unspeakably beneficent wonders of the science of bacterial therapeutics. If thus Pasteur found in an atom of yeast the cure for rabies, typhoid, cholera, malaria, yellow fever, diphtheria and bubonic plague, there is no occasion for skepticism when his disciple, Metalnikow, suggests that in the larva of a butterfly may be found the cure for other pestilences. TOBACCO USERS NOT IMMUNE Only Germs of Cholera and Meningitis Succumb to Smoke or Juice of Nicotine. Professor Puntoni of the University of Rome has performed a series of experiments by way of determining whether tobacco, smoked or chewed, would act as a disinfectant against disease germs. For the purpose he used Tuscan cigars, Macedonian cigarettes and "very strong chewing tobacco." He placed a piece of paper covered with a salve which contained the germs of cholera, influenza, diphtheria, typhoid and meningitis in a glass jar and then filled the jar with smoke or covered the paper with tobacco juice, says New York Evening Post. He has arrived at the depressing conclusion that, except in the case of cholera and meningitis, tobacco is powerless in the presence of germs. As to typhoid and diphtheria, he exposed the bacilli to the strongest of smoke from Tuscany cigars for one hour, and they were as robust at the end of the experiment as at the beginning. As to tuberculosis, Professor Puntoni says that the most inveterate smoker or chewer can hope for no protection from his indulgence. The elements of tobacco that disinfect in the case of cholera and meningitis are tar, nicotine and formaldehyde. Silk Chemises for Dusky Belles Lurid purple silk chemises, size 12, are becoming popular with the dusky belles along the African Congo, according to an announcement by a Chicago mail order house. The firm's foreign department announced the notification of safe arrival from Chief Angojo in the Belgian Congo of a recent order for such undergarments for 12 of the chief's favorite wives. Because of the color and size, it was necessary to have them made to order. "The results are quite satisfactory, however," the chief wrote. With the chemise order came funds for "shoes with watches in their toes," rubber boots with copper toes, pink silk stockings and several hundred pounds of beads and brightly-colored cotton goods. Twenty Years in Forestry. Twenty Years in Forestry. The Yale forest school has just celebrated its second decennial reunion and the twentieth anniversary of its founding, says the American Forestry Magazine. Over one hundred alumni and students, or approximately 20 per cent of those who have received professional instruction at the school attended the reunion. Of the twelve leading forest schools ten are under the direction of Yale men, and eleven have Yale graduates in their faculties. In addition, forestry is taught as a subject at four other institutions by Yale graduates. In all, 43 men from this institution are engaged in training professional foresters in America. Motion Pictures in Java. The motion picture business in Java appears to be expanding rapidly, according to the American consul at Batavia. American pictures are increasingly popular; the types best liked are big features, comedy, news and travel films. No film of less than five reels makes a great success. The pictures which attract the native audiences are those of the action and adventure type, while the European and American audiences usually prefer well-acted drama of the type most popular in America.

ILL To the W. E. and M. Society of the E. Mt. Olive Association Greeting: It is indeed a pleasure to me, as well as a duty to address you in interest of our work. I count it a sacred privilege to be one in the ranks of the christian women of this world, a participant in the efforts as a builder in the Master's cause. Since our meeting in August I have tried to look well into the work. My heart is devoted to the furtherance of this great cause. We hope to accomplish much for the Lord this year, midst hard struggles and adverse circumstances, for God has declared in his holy word, "If I be for you I am more than all the world against you." Now I realize that different fields of labor require different planning, so I hope that each president of the different circles will get busy and pull, off abig revival in the home work and in the near future we will be called together and decide on a universal plan to raise some money for the cause. My dear co-workers, I need your cooperation. To make this work a success naturally we must work together. We must know each other, and we must never let the spirit of jealousy creep in among us. God's plans are pure and simple, let us adopt God's way, for man has failed every time he attempted to declare great things without the help of God. Now we must not fail to be loyal to the Home Mission Board, also to our home field, and the old Ministers Home God will judge us by our works. It is our duty to plan well for a more thorough work this year than ever before. Our Moderator Eld. J. D. Davis, is very active in trying to go over the top our next annual meeting. To be a real Woman's Auxiliary, means we must represent with something; I mean we must raise money by the hundreds. To do so it requires a program of unselfishness, an object clearly defined, and a voice by the people. Our State Work must be a real live wire in Southern Illinois. We must work to that end. We want every circle to represent it our next meeting which will convene in Evanson in May 1921. We must take the field for God, the harvest is ripe, the field is white. Let us pray the Lord to send laborers into the vineyard. Multiply your gifts by your prayers, our faith by our works, and we will go over the top this associational year for God. May God bless and direct our work. Maggie B. Taylor, President. An Editorial. It is strange that some men style themselves as Baptist Ministers and have no regard for the truth. Dr Olive says as long as the condemned churches, and patrons were members of the writers Association they were alright. Though they represented in the accused white State convention... Oh! how misery loves company In the first place there are no Minister, in this end of the state in so far as we know, nor churches that have been condemned. It is true that Dr. stands condemned. He is in a crowd by himself, and want company. He is the only one that stands out prominently condemned, and he ought to be. When a man has the brazen affronty to mount a pulpit and denounce the men that have made it possible for him to have a place to preach and have endeavored to preach a whole Christ and accuse them of being thieves and robbers just because he is anxious for leadership, and thereby attempts to create another organization, for the purpose of caring out sinister purposes is a bad man no matter who ho is. There is nobody worried about his so called Zion Association, let him meet with Dr. Grave or any where else they, care to meet with and hold his indignation meeting respecting the Publishing House. Everybody knows that are tolerably well informed that that, is a dead issue. They were defeated in every court, seven suits in all. Now Dr. point to one baper that has condemned the churches and Ministers Just say that they have condemned me, me, me, me and me is miserable, and misery loves company. They have repented, believed and already been baptized. We wonder what the Dr. means by the word already. This word is the straw that broke the Camel's back. That one C. C. Philips is a down right hypocrite. Ha, ha. Read The Gazette. Notice. To the S. S. composing the Mt. Olive Baptist Sunday School convention of Southern Ill., the Executive Board appeals to each school to send up as much as they can to represent the District in State convention, which convenes in Evanston, Ill. in May. Please send representation by May 14th, send all moneys to J. W. Corneal Pres. and receive a receipt for same. 424 N. Sycamore St. Cartarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure cartarrhq deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhial Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrah Peafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine, Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.
