CHURCH TAKES HALF PAGE IN NEWSPAPER

The Christian church of- Oxford has contracted for a half page in the Oxford Gazette for the period of one year. , The pastor, Rev. J. G. Smith announces that the church -is grateful for the space given to it in the past but prefers to pay for its publicity in the future. Their half-page is divided into various departments and the first edition treats on every phase of church work. In this way the church expects to reach many who otherwise do not attend and often this includes members. The church is continually trying to induce people to come and hear the gospel, why not take the church work to them? , The average country church is lucky if it has a hundred in attendance each Sunday. With three churches in a town this would make an attendance of 300, while the territory from which they draw numbers from 2,000 to 3,000 people. It probably costs SIO,OOO a year to run the churches of the average country town. For less than one tenth of this sum a parge and a half of Christion Truths and Christian Activities can be carried into 95 percent of the homes within a radius of five miles of any country town. Even Mohamet, when the mountains wouldn’t come to him, went to the mountain.

PATRIOTISM TO BE THE PLEA

CIVILIANS WILL BE ASKED *TO MATCH SPIRIT OF SOLDIERS ' ’ ‘ 9 ' The editors of the Seventh Federal Reserve District were called to Chicago Friday and every one who attended must have returned to his home full of enthusiasm and believing that there is to be as much patriotism back of the forth-coming, the fifth Liberty Loan, as there was back of the preceding loans. From this immediate vicinity the following editors were in attendance at this meeting: F. E. Babcock, of this city; Lesley Miller, of Morocco; Mark Foresman, of Brook; J. S. Mayer, of Chalmers; B. B.

MICKIE SAYS

COL. HEALEY FOR GOVERNOR

RENSSELAER MAN PROPOSES NAME OF FORMER REPUBLICAN EDITOR. Colonel George H. Healey of Rensselaer, Indiana, to bear the Republican standard in the next gubernatorial race in Indiana. Swift and surely the above slogan is gaining momentum in all parts of Indiana and the candidacy of the former Republican editor, if he can be prevailed upon to accept it, would be a popular one, for he is universally liked and known throughout the state. The following glowing tribute has been paid Colonel Healey by Russell Van Hook- a prominent farmer and a widely read man, who was unaware that the name of Colonel Healey had already been connected with the governorship when he proposed that the Colonel make the race, showing that idea seems to be universal among our people. Mr. Van Hook’s endorsement is given below: » Editor of the Republican, . -Sir ; . . . - _— ‘ . The ultra-forceful and convincing letter as published in the Washington Star from our former fellow townsman, Colonel George H. Healey, will no doubt be the initial circumstance in his speedy recognition as major timber for political preferment. Colonel Healey is an agressive, sane, honest, capable, liberty-loving man, and in the role of a “Soldier of the "Republic” exemplifies that collection of attributes that are the ideals of intellectual America. Let us, his former associates, leave no stone unturned to declare for him as our choice for the candidacy of the republican party for the next term of governorship of our great state of Indiana. ' RUSSEL VAN HOOK.

The old saying, “At forty a man is either a fool or his own physician,” is just as true of business as it is of the body. Remember that the highest type of man fears nothing, is deterred by nothing, asks for nothing, but demands what he needs as his right; in short, he dominates both things and inferior men.

splendid showing the papers of Chicago had denounced him as a triator and insisted that he was disloyal. Governor McDougal of the federal reserve bank, Miss Grace Dixon, director of women, Arthur Wood, former police commissioner of the city of New York and General Leonard Wood gave most interesting addresses The following should be read and carefully pondered by every person in this county: Extracts from speech by S. J. Dun-can-Clark delivered at Chicago Lib--erty Loan conference of Indiana editors : “This fifth loan is the best loan. I have no reference now to the terms upon which it is offered. lam thinking of the conditions under whichthis opportunity to serve our country is given to us. / “In the first, second, third and fourth loans we were subscribing money to pay for the taking of life; we were subscribing money to sustain the sacrifices of our men in France. In this loan we are subscribing money to pay for the saving of life. Every soldier who has come back to us; every boy who awaits in France the hour of his return, represents a life saved to America by the expenditures on preparation for which this money is now re-

quired. “In the earlier loans we were paying for a chance to win. In this loan we are paying for a victory won. The dearly bought prize is in oiir hands. There is no gamble in this loan. It is a sure thing; made sure by the blood of them who died on the firing line; nailed down by wooden crosses. “People say you cannot stir any enthusiasm over this loan; ypu Cannot quicken ejnotion. I do not believe it. I should be ashamed of the American people if that were true. “We sent 2,000,000 men over-seas on an heroic mission., We said to them ‘Go and snatch victory out of defeat; go and win freedom for a world threatened with bondage; go yonder to the trenches and out of the smoke and the fire and the bloodshed bring back to us the assurance that the enemy vanquished and that democracy triumphs over its foes.’ “And they did the job.' They delivered the goods. They paid the biggest part of the price themselves. Now it is up to us who stayed at home; up to us who sent them on this! mission to pay the balance. Their honor is bound up with ours in this loan. America cannot face the world with a receipted bill for the victory unless we do. our part. They gave the crimson coin of blood; surely we will not fail to .give the silver hnd the gold!” v

ROBBED OF $10,000 WORTH OF JEWELRY

Jewelry valued at between $6,000 and SIO,OOO, the property of Mrs. Cecil G. Fowler, wife of the owner of the Fowler hotel in Lafayette was lost Thursday in the outskirts of Chi* cago while she, in company with her husband and H. H. Dunbar were en route to Lafayette after spending several days at the Blackstone hotel in Chicago. The party after leaving the hotel drove out Southwestern avenue, arrived at 59th street about 12:30, where they stopped to adjust the side curtains. Because of the fact that the baggage consisting of several hand bags and a “week-end” bag, was in the tonneau and on the rear seat, it was necessary to remove some of it to get the side curtains, and the bags were placed on the curb. After the side curtains had been adjusted the party drove about ten miles, when Mr. Fowler asked Mrs. Fowler is they “had alll the grips.” They didn’t.'' They returned to 59th street and found that the bag containing jewelry was missing. I i|.- |.■ -1 JT
