One of the Wonders of the Century.

To be a favorite with the people year after year in these days of cheap vaudeville and picture shows, there must be-a great merit in the production of “The Missouri Girl.” Here are a few facts and figures regarding the famous play; Box office statement from a recent engagement at the Soisson Theatre at Connellsville, Pa., show 1673 paid admissions, with gross receipts of $692.30, their sixth time there, while the Grand ,Opera House at Uniontown, Pa., turned out 1,351 paid admissions, with gross reedpts of $549.30, also the sixth time. Dover, Delaware, on its fourth visit there turned out $306.20; Bristol, Tenn., third time $277.65. Some class, eh? But there’s a reason. The people like it. The Connelsville Daily Courier remarked that “the cast is the best yet seen in this popular comedy.” The Uniontown Dally Heraid said, “Although having been seen five previous times in this city, the Missouri Girl drew two capacty houses to the Grand Saturday, and it was evident that the big audience enjoyed the performances immensely.” ' The play is said to hold over one thousand house records In the country for the most paid admissions. Manager Ellis has secured this famous play for the date of August sth, 1913.

There were nine members baptized into the Church of Christ last Wednesday afternoon in the new 'baptistry at the Christian church. Work on the church is moving slowly, owing to a scarcity of workmen and a multiplicity of work in other parts of the town. It will not be long before things will be in such shape that worship will be resumed in the building. In the meantime the services are being held in the school house just across the street from the church. You are invited to attend the following services tomorrow: Sunday School at 9:30 a. m. Communion and preaching at 10:30 a. m. Evening services on the court house lawn- at 6:30 o'clock.

All arrangements have been completed lor the annual picnic of the Indiana Livestock Breeders’ and Corn Growers’ Association, which this year is to be held at the Tippecanoe Stock Fann, Battle Ground, Indiana, on August 7th. Battle Ground may be reached by automobile, by the Monon rail road, or by interurban from Lafayette. Interurban cars run every half hour. The program of the day provides for an inspection of the splendid farm, stock, and equipment which Messrs. J. H. and J. W. Vanatta, owners of Tippecanoe Stock Farm, use in producing the superior Herefords which have been bred there continuously for over thirty years. The farm, which comprises a thousand acres of fertile land, has been in the family over seventy years, has always been a stock farm, and is at the present time highly productive. Hereford history has been made on this farm, and visitors will have opportunity to see the magnificent animals which at present comprise the show and breeding herd. A feature of the day will be the grand free barbecue at noon. Tippecanoe Stock Farm donates a prime Hereford steer for the occasion, and Mr. Goodnight, of the world-famous ranch of Texas, where the largest herd of buffaloes in existence is maintained and'bred, and where Persian lamba and other rare animals are produced, has expressed a number of Persian lamba to be added to the barbecue. Pop June; of Indianapolis restaurant fame, has been engaged to prepare and serve the barbecue. Potatoes, com, pickles, bread and free lemonade will be the rest of the menu. At 1:30 p. m. the addresses of the day will start. Mr. Warren T. McCray, of Kentland, at whose farm the picnic was held last summer, and who is president of the association, will open the program. He will be followed by Mr. F. C. Palin, of Newtown, who, it will be remembered, grew few years past, winning the Kellogg Trophy, and who is president of the Indiana Corn Growers’ Association. The address of the day will be given by Prof. Andrew Boss, of the University of Minnesota, whose theme will be Production of Livestock and Grain.” This is a subject which is before the people of Indiana at present in a big way, and it will do all good to hear of the work that is being done in other states and of the possibilities that lie before Indiana along this line. Remarks will be made by Dean J. H. Skinner, of Purdue, who for many years was the secretary of the Indiana Livestock Breeders? Association, and by Superintendent G. I. Christie, secretary of the Indiana Corn Growers’ Association. Aside from the barbecue, other picnic features of the day will be bathing and swimming In the Tippecanoe river, upon the banks of which the event is to be held; and a baseball game between members of the two associations.

CANTON PASTOR IS BIG S. S. BOOSTER

Uses Band Concert on Roof Garden and a Double Orchestra Concert to Help Attendance. A dispatch from Canton, Ohio, says: With the attraction of a band concert in the church roof garden and a double orchestra concert in the church auditorium, Rev. P. H. Weishimer, of Canton’s First Chris' tion church, has built up what he claims Is the biggest Sunday school in the world within the last five years. The average attendance at the Chrstlan church Sunday school in Canton in this hot month of July is 3,251. Bhe record attendance is 4,714. Several Sundays back 38 babies were cheeked in the' “babies’ check room” of the $90,000 church. The men’s class of 250 had to hold their session in the street, while the teacher explained the lesson from the tonneau of an automobile. The Streets leading to the church are crowded each Sunday morning by 8:45 with people going to the Sunday school classes. Some drive as far as eighteen miles to be able to attend. Many are old men, civil war veterans, pioneers in Ohio. They come early to get good seats / and hear the preliminary sacred concert. Rev. Weishimer, who built up this tremendous Sunday school attendance in a town ot 50,000 people Is regarded as the best business man in Canton. He is forty years old, drives a fast automobile because he has to convert every minute of his time to do his days’ work, and has the best card index system in northern Ohio. Under him he has an organization of 100 men and 100 women as a “building up” committee to keep attendance up in his Sunday school and church. He employs two stenographers and an assistant to take care of his office detail and has personal charge of ninety Sunday school teachers. And on Sunday not a man, woman or child can get into that Sunday school without having shaken hands with Rev. Weishimer at least once. As a hand shaker he has a record that is almost equal to that of President Wilson.

Another Effort Bring Made to Have Washington Street Paved.

The failure of the combined improvement of Washington and Cullen and Forest streets was due mainly to opposition along Forest and Cullen, which streets did not need improving nearly so badly as Washington. Now another petition is being circulated for the improvement bf Washington street from the river bridge east to Cullen street. The proposition is bring liberally signed and as the improvement is very much needed it is quite apt to succeed. The pavement contemplated is machinemixed asphalt. The present street would be spiked up, leveled, rolled ' and redressed with the machinemixed asphalt to a thickness of three or four inches. The estimated cost is about $2.00 ,per front foot or Including the gutter about S2JO, which is inexpensive and the street will probably last a long time. The construction of an adequate sewer should be provided, howeveß before the street improvement is undertaken.
