SAYS BABIESI HERE FROM WANT OF FOOD

Captain Stahl Explains How Much Good Little Support to Mis*flion Can Do.

Saturday night marked the close of the sixth week In the Light House '•Mission Tent Immanuel revival service. •**If the friends of the mission oould iiav© heard the stirring testimonials j»f men who have taken a new hold on pife and also the words of wives and fanothers who have come under the in.^fluence of the grospel In the tent services, they would certainly feel that the j'Bupport given to this work was money '••well invested," said Capt. Stahl.

Mr. Stahl preached a short sermon Hast night and appealed to his conhfciegation to lead a practical christian f5if«.

Sunday morning Capt. Stahl was to I the pulpit of Mbntrose Methodist Church, taking for his subject "What *~hriatians Should Be Thankful For." will use the same subject in the nday night tent service

Many 8ad Cases Here.

5 "Many sad cas»»a have come under the observation of the mission workers during the past week quite a number of men are out of employment *nd it is really marvelous how these anen and their families get by against *uch odds," said Capt. Stahl. "In anany cases sickness, death and misfortune have placed these families in Ihe conditions in which they are found today. All they need is a little timely aid before it is too late. "Ofttlmes a boy with no place to

I'snust

sleep and not a cent to buy food comes to us. It is not enough for us to shake ills hand and say 'God bless you.' "We furnish him a bed and food for t^his famished body. It is almost im-

Possible for a tired, hungry, ragged I to obtain- employment. '"The conditions among the women l«.nd children are much worsje, if such fa thing is possible. Only a visit to some of these homes could reveal the

Tinted miseriy and suffering. Last night after the service I was called to the bed of a sick mother and her little six months old baby boy and this was her story: Her husband failing to find work in the city, started to the country in search of work and so far Taad been unable to s#nd any money 'back home. She was without a cent to 4uy food or medicine or even milk for tthe little sick baby. Aid was given ithla woman by the mission and the [township trustee furnished the phytrfcian.

When a Baby's Sick.

"1 can bear to see men and women •lck but when it comes to a helpless baby whose only fault is that it is Iborn, I am convinced that many babies die every year, not in India but in Terre Haute, for the lack of proper food. Then when I think of the thousands of dollars spent every year just tor pleasure it seems to me unjust. "To raise a man from the depths of despair and aid him to get to the place where he can aid himself is a most noble action. To save a boy from sin and crime, and to bring joy and gladfjaeas In place of sorrow to the tired [mothers and helpless little ones, make I life worth' while. Don't you want to

Join us in this great work? We need all the help that you can give and [•specially at this time."

HUi/mflJT SAYS HE'LL APPEAL. !Denies That He Will Soon Begin Serving His Sentence.

Rumors' that William Huffman, superintendent of cemeteries, would not [make application for a rehearing of his case before the state supreme court, Hut would apply to the state prison at

Michigan City, Ind., for his commltjnent and serve his term of from three to ten years for election irregularities, •were denied yesterday by Huffman. He «aid the application or a rehearing would be filed in due time.

Huffman was sentenced in March of last year by Special Judge Felllx Blankenbaker, and the csuse was appealed to the higher court, where on June 25, J915, the decision of the trial court was upheld and Huffman given until Aug 15 to file his petition for a rehearing.

Mabel McKee Tells How Sihe Produces Fiction That Brings Eeal Money.

Imagination. To this one very desirable possession, Miss Mabel McKee, Terre Haute's short story writer, whose productions are now in great demand, attributes her success in the writers' field. When Miss McKee reaches New York Monday there will be editors awaiting her arrival and it's only two years since she began writing. "Oh, I couldn't tell you without looking up my magazines," the teacherwriter told me as we were seated on the porch of her beautiful home on North Eleventh street, when I asked her how many stories she had written since she had carried her first one to the editor herself. She wrote it in New York while attending school there. **I really don't believe I would have the nerve to do such a thing now," she said with a laugh, "but then I supposed it was perfectly all right to take it to him myself. is Prolific Writer.

Miss McKee is a teacher in the Rose Home school but has found time in the past year to produce three to four stories a month besides. It's a pastime and a recreation with her. She frequently J»ts down after the evening meal anff1 writes a story of two thousand words or more before retiring. "I find I do my best work when the lights are on I love to work at night and I do hate to sleep, but the folks seem to think that I should anyhow." Think of it—sleeps because she believes it an obligation due the family!

Struck with her frail appearance, I asked Miss McKee if she were not worn out from her work—she has been teaching this summer also—but she quickly corrected the impression, saying she did -not feel tired at all but was glad that would have a change for a little while.

But we've forgotten all about the imagination. "I had such a vivid imagination when I was a child that I was never lonely if there was no other child about. I lived in a world of fairies and brownies. To me they were as real as the people I knew best, and I have retained that imagination," Miss McKee said. And then she dropped a secret to me besides—"I'm

not afraid of editors, either," she said, and I could not help but envy her. "The first thing I do though, when one of my stories appears in a magazine, is to get the carbon copy and compare to see if any of it has been changed. It almost breaks my heart if one word has been altered. I have found that the stories that I have thought least about are as a rule the most popular with the editors, that they give them more prominence than those that I think are best."

Preserves Her ideas.

Miss McKee shifted her position, knitted her eyebrows and studied a moment when I asked her when ideas for her stories came to her, and then' replied, "Oh, just anytime# I keep a book with me and write down an idea when it comes to me and sometimes they come so thick I can hardly' take care of them," she added with a laugh, It's then that her imagination gets to working over time.

Among the magazines that have clamored for Miss McKee's work are: Good Housekeeping, Housekeeper, Woman's Magazine, McCall's Magazine, House Wife, Continent and Farmer's Wife. She is now running a series of articles in the Farmer's Wife and a large picture of her ap-r peared recently In this periodical. jph, Indeed, Miss McKee has had rejections of stories. But the fact that her first production was accepted right off hand was encouragement

Miss McKee manipulates a typewriter and uses the machine in putting down even her' first outline of a story. She later reviews it, make3 any necessary changes, re-writes it and has it ready for the editor.

This young writer Is saturated with the joy of writing—she lives it—and, moreover, she doesn't think it's half as big a Job for anybody to write as they think it Is. She holds out a word of encouragement to every person so inclined to make a try at the writing game.

Terre Haute Story Writer Whom PEditors Invite to New York Town

SME WOMEN III FAKE SHIPWRECK SALE

Agents of the Sultana Offer Bargains Here—Secretary Clifford Exposes the Fraud.

Following the visit of Stanley Ikerd, special representative of the vigilance committee of the Associated Advertising Clubs, a warning was issued yesterday afternoon by the Chamber of Commerce to housewves who have received posters from an alleged G. J. Campbell Co., 392 Broadway, New York, setting out wonderful bargains. These circulars were distributed in Terre Haute about three weeks ago and set forth that the salvaged cargo of the wrecked steamer Sultaaa, valued at $346,000, had been consigned to the Campbell company. It also says that this company is selling towels, bath towels, ladles' kid gloves, ladles' silk stockings, flannels, handkerchiefs, dress goods, suits, etc., at ridiculously low prices.

Many Women Bit.

According to an Investigation made by Mr. Ikerd, several prominent Terre Hs(.ute women ordered goods from this company and were expecting a delivery in 21 days. The posters passed around set forth the fact that the agents of the alleged company were to call at a later date to take orders. received information about the operations of this alleged company and immediately wired to New York for information," said Mr. Ikerd. "We learned that there never was such a ship as the Sultana and that there is no such an address as the one given by the Campbell Co. Three of the men who have been operating this game in Springfield, O., are now under arrest.

No Such Ship Existed.

"Edward T. Tatum, an attorney at New York, has notified that he had conducted an investigation for the vigilance committee of the Associated Advertisers' club and found after seeing the inspector of the port of New York that no. such ship existed."

Mr. Ikered took up his report of the investigation with E. H. Clifford, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, and showed him the correspondence with investigators who have been looking up the records of these itinerant merchants. Reports show that the same group of peddlers have been operating in a number of the cities in the country.

The matter of prosecuting the representatives of this firm should they appear in Terre Haute was taken up with Orph H. Hall, secretary of the Retail Merchants' Association, and he promised that the association will prosecute if the men are located here. Housewives are requested to notify Mr. Hiall of any calls representatives of this firm make.
