Thank goodness, it did arrive, however. Now that a former bar tender has j been drawn into the oil scandal in con- j nection with the telegrams sent to , Ned McLean, the mygtery may be t cleared. Perhaps he was wiring his ' chief the dope on a new drink. 1 Benjamin J.

J Wise Ben. > ■ I President Burk of the Decatur Industrial Association favors a street ‘ fair or fall festival if no county fair is ( held and if his association will get t back of him with enthusiasm, this canj l be made a great event, it's worth 1 thinking about and acting upon. i „~ ’ i Ornamental lights on Adams street, ( from First to Seventh street will lie I put Tn this year if a petition, filed last I evening, meets approval as is expected. It’s a real progressive step, this lighting up the city and we hope the contagion spreads until every main and side street in is thus illuminated. The total amount of taxes to be paid in Indiana this year will be $125,000•W in round numbers, whic h staggering sum is ten million more than was paid last year and easily beats all records ever heard ot or predicted. While the demands are greater the valuation has been reduced. thus making the cont mst ration of burden more severe. And it's about to the limit. At this gesso nos the year the greatbest damage is done to the: roads and every citizen of Adams county is urged to assist In making this loss as little as possible. The road men have a comparatively small amount of Money with whic h to keep up. maintenance for this yeur and the only way it can be done is by the very < lowest co-operation.

Face to Face With r Dr. S. Parkes Cadman Pastor of the Central Congregational Church of Brooklyn, 1 New York i By Joe Mitchell Chapple ' Counted one of the strong figures among the clergy of the country is Dr. S. Parkes Cadman. His sermons i tire followed with <he same keetj interest as those of Henry Ward Beech-' er in the old days. Samuel Parkes Cadman was born in Shropshire, England, and was educated in the College of London University. Since coming to the United States in 1895, he has filled a number of important pastorates, and is now located at the Central Congregational Church of Brooklyn. Dr. Cadman has proven one of the popular lecturers of his time. His | books on "Charles Darwin u*l Other I English Thinkers," “The Three Re- ‘ ■ ligious Leaders of Oxford," and I "Ambassadors of God” have added much to the religious literature of the tinyes. He is a tall man. with rapid-fire delivery, and every thought is clothed in phrase and diction that has made him an eminent pulpit orator, lu talking with Dr. Cadman he does not ■ seem to be very much exercised over I the Fundamentalist or Modernist lab- ■ el in the recent religious controversy. "The general d-hurch consciousness is that the whole controversy, will run itself out before long, since the men who are concerned in it are arguing over non-essentials, and the i average Christian man is not inter- j ested in the fight, and would rather not see IL Furthermore, Tradition-, alists would be a tetter name, than Fundamentalists, because there is nothing particularly fundamental about their position.** In his study. Dr. Cadman has the , same friendly, genial manner of the!, platformer. He smokes a good brand j of cigars and considers his fight for the Leagute of Nations as something . more practical than quarreling over the inerrancy ot an ancient book. “Among our more than one hun- i tired and fifty Protestant denominations. there are some that are. pretty narrow," he said, "and I cannot answer for all of them, but I know that in most of the churches a man can-. not be expelled tor heresy for refus-| ing to believe all the doctrines on

it's money. That the state house pay roll and the expenses of the army of state em-1 i ployes may be met. another half-tni'.-I lion dollars has just been borrowed | and the total debt of Indiana is now ; just under five million dollars. When 1 state Auditor Bracken said a year uao i that by the end of thia year the state i would be six million dollars in debt i he was scoffed at. Lawk* likv he knew his business and was about the only one who did for the governor and ht» staff insisted we would be out of debt an<j <i>e treasury rich. liut that's neither here nor there, what is more, i important, is what will be the end and can We last until some changes will be made that will reduce overhead? It’s serious. The secretary of the National Dairy. Assdciation has sent out a bulletin a urging advertising. He proves that during the past year the sale of cold cream, lipstick. rouse and powder totaled 1750.0UU.UU0, and average of fifteen dollars for every woman In the I'nlied States. That's something to think about, isn't it? During the same lime the women used an average oft only nine dollars worth of good old cow butter, “with v'hl< h to grease her Insides.” He war smased and began a sear' ll for the cause. He found it The m tnufacturera of toilet articles know how to advertise whllo the other fellow hasn't yet learned tho secret or It he has. doesn't use It. He ndd*:| "Kaw tbej., |f we dairy men would get j busy an<| spend some money advertfs-' *n« we would sell so much but<or that would never need to four over-pro-dm tiim, foreign competition or for ' elgu muketa tor our surplus. M’u would i have no surplus. would pelt uiur> than We could ever hope to muke.”|

Jr ■VW DR. S. PARKES CADMAN says: •‘A pericd of religious controversy Is a good sign of growth.” which some would insist. "We say that the center of our faith is neither a creed nor a book, but rather the personality uud the life of Christ. All Christian churches agree on the Fatherhood of God und the Lordship of Christ and we are therefore Christoceutric in our belief. “1 do not think that ail this fuss is i having any particular effect on those outside of all the churches, in the way of keeping them away from Christianity, for a period of religious ■ controversy is a sure sign of growth. That is surely belter than a state cf complete indifference." When further mention ot the Fuud- 1 umentalists and Modernists were 1 made, Dr. Cadman looked toward the , ceiling and continued in a reflective manner: * "All creedal religion is now in a ! state of abeyance, due to this mutual intolerance of certain over-enthus- 1 iastic individuals; and you will al- 1 ways find that all these extremists 1 are related to each other spiritually—they are first cousins to each other, whether they call themselves Fundamentalists or Liberals. "If some of them have been correctly quoted in saying that they do not believe in a persona! God and Creator, then they do not speak for Christianity, because even by their I name the Unitarians hold that there exists a single deity. Some Free Thinkers, you know, are entitled to that name since they are free from all the -nnditfons that govern correct thinking.” He has intimated that he would feel lonesome without the microphone around the pulpit, a- it is qrv- of his most attentive auditor*, He ,is the popular chaplain of the 23rd R--gi .meat New York National Guard and | trustee of the Hartford Theological Seminary.
