Hebron Sunday School extends our greatest welcome to you and your dear family. MARIE STACKER. No Success Without Education. Without education my dear friends it is impossible for us to advance in life. We now have a better opportunity than our forefathers had in the days passed and gone and we should try to make the very best out of life; because a good education is essential to real success in life; and I believe that every hour of every day we receive a just reward for all we are and all we do, of course some of us might be unable to complete our training by resident study but we can best be helped to success by spare time study, because the time is past when the uneducated worker can force himself to the top by sheer hard work and perseverance. The men at the top today possess education as well as ability and the higher positions require a degree of training impossible to the man who lacks the educational foundation upon which to build. Now dear friends, I hope that you all will accept this advice, also thanking you all for your attention during this period. STELLA GOODMON. Welcome to the Community. Rev. Morris, we the citizens of Round Knob, extend to you a hearty welcome as a future member; leader and morning star for this community. We welcome you Reverend, more than words can express.

METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE. METROPOLIS. ILL 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 cartarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal 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.

"FAIR PLAY" "FAIR PLAY" The following editorial was printed in the Waukegan Daily Sun of Tuesday, May 23, 1922: One thing the Sun has always stood for and its readers know that fact. is FAIR PLAY. Therefore, in the case of Governor Small, we believe he is entitled to FAIR PLAY as much as the average citizen-in fact, MORE because he IS chosen by the people of the state to be their executive. Therefore, the effort of the state to make him appear like a criminal, like an outcast, just because certain factions have seen fit to question his methods of doing business some years ago, is not only UNFAIR PLAY but is beyond the pale of reason and justice. To have the state raise a big holler because the governor accepted the hand of one of the state's own witnesses after he had testified AGAINST the Governor, seems quite unbelievable. As Mr. LeForgee said, what did they expect the governor to do when the hand was proferred. "slap him in the face?" Or, would the state's counsel have approved the governor's act if he had spit in the witness' face? It is our understanding of the law that a man is presumed innocent UNTIL proven guilty. In this case the state seeks to assume that the governor of this state must be debarred from even recognizing a salutation in court-it is bad enough for the State's counsel by its charges to have tied up the governor's hands in the matter of giving his best efforts to state business because of the attention he must give his trial. But, to seek to prevent him having the privilege accorded to every citizen, of at least being able to be decent to smile, or shake hands when folks approach him, is quite beyond reason. If Mr. Small HAD slapped Mr. Sherman or spat in his face, that naturally would have caused the jury to feel that he RESENTED the evidence which Mr. Sherman had given-and the defense's case would have been hurt. Instead, the Governor didn't mind what Sherman had said, therefore no enmity and had NO REASON to slap him-and so accepted the handshake that was tendered-and the state got sore about it! Rather childish court ethics, we think, don't you? DUNBAR HIGH SCHOOL ANNOUNCEMENT WEEK Eighth Grade Back May 21, 2:30 P. M. by Rev. MUSICALE May Dunbar High S HIGH SCHOOL BAGG May 28, 2:30 P.

EMPLOYMENT FOR MILLIONS FROM PULVERIZED MOUNTAINS Building Stimulates Local Prosperity — Materials Plentiful and Prices Down (Copyright, 1922, by Real Estate News, Chicago.) Next to farming, local prosperity depends upon building activity. The reason is plain. Building is the country's second largest industry. It employs millions of workers directly, millions to make the materials for building, and hundreds of thousands in lumbering, quarrying and mining. Everyone knows that a building shortage exists. One way to restore prosperity then, is by a lively resumption of building. Materials and labor now are plentiful. Costs are lower. Cement will serve as a good example because it goes into nearly all building. 203% more than in 1913, for limestone at quarries 60% more and for labor 54% more. Freight rate on coal was 107% greater and on limestone 52% greater. A comparison of these increases with the increase of 48% in cement price and 51% in the price of "all commodities" is enlargening. Cement is so widely used that users themselves have standardized it. Today every cement maker, regardless of his brand, meets the specifications set jointly by the United States government and the country's leading engineering societies. All brands of cement, therefore, are alike. For every ton of cement, 1% tons of raw materials and coal must be mined, shipped, assembled, dried, ground, weighed, mixed and then fused at about 3,000 degrees to a hard "clinker." This "clinker" must then be ground again, this time to a powder so fine that 78,000 will pass through a sieve having 40,000 holes per square inch. To make cement, one literally must "tear down a mountain and put it through a sieve." And yet, cement sells at the mill for about $8.00 per ton! These facts caused the United States Geological Survey a few years ago to say that "one could not scrape the free sand from the gutter for much less cost per barrel." Cement Competition Keen. That competition has been active is noted in government reports. According to the United States Geological Survey, the production of cement has steadily increased and the price declined. It shows that in 1880, cement sold at $3.00 a barrel average at the mill; in 1920 at $2.02; in 1921 at $1.87. Now it is selling at many large plants as low as $1.50 a barrel, only half the average price in 1880, and less than the average for the 40-year period covered in the government report. At one of the country's largest cement plants the price now is $48\frac{1}{2}\%$ higher than in the pre-war year 1913. The latest report of the United States Department of Labor shows the average price of "all commodities" as $51\%$ higher than 1913. Some of the items whose prices enter into this figure of $51\%$ have undergone radical decreases, while others are very much higher than the average of $51\%$. Few, if any, items of the former class enter into cement manufacturing costs, but several items of the latter class do affect the cement costs. In fact, the principal elements in these costs are labor, freight rates, coal and limestone.

Freight rate on coal was 107% greater and on limestone 52% greater. A comparison of these increases with the increase of 48½% in cement price and 51% in the price of "all commodities" is enlightening. Cement is so widely used that users themselves have standardized it. Today every cement maker, regardless of his brand, meets the specifications set jointly by the United States government and the country's leading engineering societies. All brands of cement, therefore, are alike. Because of this, the prices of various brands of cement in any given market usually are the same. The reason for this puzzles many. But the answer is simple and well stated by W. Stanley Jevons, L. L. D., M. A., F. R. S., in his standard work "The Theory of Political Economy," which says: "If in selling a quantity of perfectly equal and uniform barrels of flour, a merchant arbitrarily fixed different prices on them, a purchaser would, of course, select the cheaper ones. Hence follows what is undoubtedly true * that in the same open market, at any one moment, there cannot be two prices for the same article." Applying Jevon's economic law, a simple illustration of cement competition may be cited thus: A, B and C are cement makers. Each seeks business at M, a town with a 30-cent freight rate from A, 35 cents from B and 40 cents from C. This gives A a 5-cent advantage over B and 10 cents over C. A figures he can sell at, say, a mill price of $1.50, so adds the 30 cents freight and quotes $1.80 at M. Then if B and C want to do business at M they must meet A's price, requiring B to go 5 cents below A in his mill price and C to go 10 cents below A in his mill price. Unless B and C can make the mill price sacrifices required by the market at M as made by A's $1.80 price, then A will monopolize the market at M. Similar principles apply to other materials. Prices are not arbitrarily made. They are based upon supply and demand and upon the cost of transportation, raw materials and labor. Supply of labor and materials now is plentiful. We cannot afford longer to delay needed building improvements. This is particularly true because building is so entwined with the nation's prosperity that a full revival of building will hasten a revival of other lines of business. spiritually, intellectually and financially. All B. Y. P. U. composing the Mt. Olive Baptist Association are expected to represent at this meeting. We hope to have a large majority of messengers and co-workers present. Lois Mason, Cor.

Gaines of Lovejoy, closed more than two weeks ago, and the pastor had the pleasure of baptizing nine of candidates May 7th and administered the Lord's supper at night. On April 28, Bro. Cuington, his wife and sister Anna Wade were seen in their machine going one direction, while Brother and Sister Taylor were seen in their machine going another direction. In the afternoon both machines were seen standing at the gate of Brother and Sister Wade's home where they unloaded a full supply of groceries, which amounted to more than $30.00. This had been given by the loyal members of Mt. Zion, for the pastor and wife. We cannot say enough, in words of praise for the committee, who made such a sacrifice to call upon the members nor can we express our thanks as we desire to the dear ones who did not turn them away empty handed. May the Lord bless you all. Yours in Christ, Rev. W. M. Chaney, and wife. Page Three IN OPEN LETTER THE COORED PEOPLE to say to our people of Massachusetts territory thereto.

Fuel oil, as a means of propulsion, has been gradually coming into favor for a number of years. The war increased its use in many ways, and the coal strike gave a filip that may only be overcome when the comparative cost between coal and fuel oil gives the former the advantage. Boring for oil is often accomplished with danger to the men from the pent-up force which is released. The first indication that oil has been reached is a rush of gas and then comes oil, sometimes with such terrific force that it has been known to carry tools, gear and loose stones and earth to a great height. Large quantities of oil are often lost before a valve can be placed over the hole and a check put upon the gusher. So great is the pressure—it varies from 200 pounds to 1,000 pounds—that oil may spout hundreds of feet into the air. In Mexico, a few years ago, a column of oil reached 600 measured feet. It is unsuitable for use when first got out of the ground, owing to the mud it contains, but when this has settled to the bottom of the settling tank it is refined. First petrol and benzine are extracted by distillation before it is sent to the storage tanks to be used as crude oil. So far the method which finds most favor for burrowing oil in furnaces is known as the low pressure furnace, and is forced through pipes to the burner under the boiler in the form of a fine spray. RAP AT MODERN PRÉACHERS Bishop Denny Tells Good Story in Which Distinct Moral Is Not Too Well Hidden. Bishop Collins Denny said in an address in Richmond: "I heard a story the other day that hits a good many preachers. It seems that the janitor of a fashionable church was showing his wife through the edifice. At the end of the inspection he said to her: "Would you like to hear me preach?" "Go on! You can't preach!" she objected. "Can't I, though?" said the janitor, and he went up into the pulpit and ranted and roared and raged a good 20 minutes or more about the vile sins committed daily by the heathen in equatorial Africa. "When then he finished, he said, as he came down, wiping his hot face: "There; how was that for a sermon? "It was mighty fine," said his wife. "But you told all about the sins of the natives away off in Africa and never a word about the sins of the folks right here at home." "The janitor chuckled. "Ha! Ha!" he said. 'I know the tricks of preachin' too well for that.'" —Los Angeles Times. How It Happens. Five villains, with gyves upon their wrists, sat in durance vile. "It is strange," said he, "that you five stalwart scoundrels, after robbing the bank and maltreating all persons who sought to stay you, should have allowed yourselves to be knocked down and hog-tied by a lone cripple equipped with naught but a crabtree cudgel." "Alas, sir," replied the most low-browed of the lot. "Our lack of forethought was our undoing. We expected to encounter only the usual heavily armed guard, which could not run and capture a lost gosling. Instand, we met this lame lad with a cluir, who meant business and had no desire to show off. Of course, we did not know how to comport ourselves." —Kansas City Star. Refused to Award Prize. Eighty-three years ago the city of Frankfurt-am-Main, birthplace of Goethe and home of Germany's greatest bankers, established a Mozart prize to be awarded annually for the best musical composition along any line that the competitors might feel disposed to follow. Forty-five manuscripts were submitted in 1921, but for the first time in the history of the prize, worth 5,000 marks, no award was made, the reason being inferior quality of all the works sent in. One of the competitors was Engelbert Humperdinck—New York Evening Post. Pope's White Mule. The coronation of Plus XI, which took place in Rome, was the last solemnity completing the election of a new pope. Prior to the loss of temporal power, in 1870, however, the papal coronation was always preceded by the cavalcata, or procession in state, with which the new pope rode forth to take formal possession of the famous Lateran church. On this occasion only the holy father would be seen riding a white mule. Plus VIII first dropped the custom in 1829, by choosing to drive in a coach drawn by six horses, his white mule being led behind. Destructive Landslide. Destructive Landslide: The picturesque island of Mount Saint Michel (Normandy) appears to be jeopardized as the result of a landslide which has occurred there. The main street of the island has given way, leaving a gap 25 feet wide by 20 feet long. Engineers have been summoned to carry out an examination of the foundations of the beautiful old abbey which crowns the rock, as it is feared that the landslide may extend to the vaults on which the abbey stands.
