PASTOR DECLARES EVIL HEART IS WAN’S OWNJRAITOR Evangelist Cox Draws Warning From Life of Judas in Sermon Sunday, “The evil heart is man’s own traitor,” Evaneglist F. W. Cox declared Sunday afternoon in a sermon on “The Sin Nature of Judas” at the Salem Park camp meeting. "During our war with Spain,” he said, "a man in our Navy, who had been wearing the uniform and drawing the pay from Uncle Sam for three years, was caught in the act of putting enough dynamite in the coal bin of the vessel to sink the ship. He was a traitor to his country. “So carnality is a traitor to man. It has put enough sin in his heart to sink him into hell unless fully saved by the all-cleansing blood of Jesus.” Declares That Sin Had a Starting Point Continuing, Evangelist Cox said: There was a starting point to sin in the life of every person who is now on the downward path to eternal ruin, but back and beyond the act of sin, there was the disposition to sin—the sinbias, or downward tendency to sin. Perhaps for the want of a better name, you might call it the disposition or the depraved congenital stain. ■ "The old adage says. ‘As the twig is bent, so the tree is inclined.’ Speaking of a certain class of people, the Bible says, ‘They went astray from the womb/ Pellagious taught that Adam’s sin did not entail guilt upon his offspring, but David refuted this by saying, ‘Behold, I was shapen in iniquity: and in sin did my mother conceive me.’ “Now at this point, let us bring memory into requisition, and consult It as where we committed the first sin. Was it in the early little lies, thefts, spiteful or selfish things? Just as the weather-vane will serve to show which way the wind blows, so the disposition in children will show what we may expect of them in the future. Thus, sulkiness, disobedience to parental rule, stubbornness, and a strong self-will in children, will show more or less, the wandering disposition of the prodigal son. Evil Heart Will Cause People to Find Own Level. “In addition to the Bible statement that ‘evil communication will corrupt good manners,’ it is also a fact that the evil heart in its possessor will cause people to find their own level in society. Even though we make the exception that some good boys fall into bad company, and are thus influenced to do things that they never thought of doing, yet, we chum as a rule with our own class. “Habitual defilement comes largely from keeping bad company. Just as a case of cholera will spread from a K lngle hog and defile the -whole herd, o the Bible says, ‘one sinner destroyeth much good/ ” he said.

INDIANA CATCHES STEP IN MARCH OF MODERNPROGRESS New System of Central Indiana Electric Company Marks Advancement, Indiana, though very progressive In many respects, Is somewhat lagging in the super power system of elecrification. Under old methods, electrification was confined to a number of small Independent plants, soon outgrown In the rapidly Increasing population, and modern civilization, the basis of which Is electric power, which demands, instead an Immense unified system that covers extended areas. This, In a word, describes the purpose of the Central Indiana Power Company In constructing through the Indiana Electric Corporation the huge power plant in the heart of the Indiana coal fields on the Wabash River where adequate supplies of fuel and water are most accessible at a mini mum cost. This great power plant is now In course of construction and the plans are that it will be completed In 1924 Transmission lines will be built and the Central Indiana Power Company's entire system, now connecting 112 cities and towns in central and north era Indiana, including this dty, with additional new connections in prospect, will be unified, the great plant on the Wabash River augmenting the local plants and supplying greater service, so inperativejy needed. Asa community grows, the demands increase upon the public utilities, especially upon the light and power stations. Nobody wants to wait long for service In anew home, and In industrial and business circles service must be furnished immediately, as all know. To meet these ever-increas-ing demands in its territory, the Central Indiana Power Company is now building one of the greatest power plants in the United States. So great, indeed, are the advantages of the super-power system, that several of the leading nations, including England, Japan, Canada and the United States, are preparing to undergo the costly process of revising their power systems in accordance with this method. In the United States, a commission appointed by Congress has submited a plan for a super-power system for the Important district lying between Boston, Mass., and Washington, D. C. This system is to utilize all local water powers and in addition is to have fifteen large steam plants, located on the seacoast and navigable rivers. Should these plans be carried out, oter 500 small power plants now serving this area will be shut down and an estimated saving of 60.000 tons of fuel will be made every year. Indiana is {ailing in line in tbis big work of utilizing natural resources to the best advantage for efficient aerv-

WEEKLY Business and Industrial PAGE

BUSINESS SENSE WILL GUIDE US THROUGH—HANEY Nation Neither Bound for Bowwows Nor Immediate Prosperity, EUROPE PLAYS PART Level - Headed Consideration Is Most Needed Two . Great Dangers Appear, By DR. LEWIS H. HANEY. Director of the Bureau of Business Research New York University. NEW YORK. Aug. 6.—ln a number of ways Industry is now back about where It stood last September or October. Barring unwise legislative tinkering, no reason appears why we should not take up the process of sound recovery where it was dropped in last year's boom. Much doubt, however,, is being thrown into the air concerning our industrial condition. On the one hand, the banks and the conservative pollI ticians in power are continually re- | peatlng that conditions are sound and that the volume of trade Is lower. On the other hand, wheat farmers and the politicians who hope to gain by fanning discontent are crying “wolf, wolf.” and Insisting that the outlook is bad. When such a difference exists, you can be prettty sure that both extremes are wrong. Must Keep Level Head Those of us who are not politicians, not bankers, not wheat farmers need to keep a level head. Tilings are neither so good nor so bad as they are painted. The plain facts are as follows: Beginning late in 1921. J business started on an upward climb which reached the proportions of a small boom last spring. This boom was based chiefly on manufacturing to fill demands that had gone unsatls fled during war-times, notably buildI ir.gs and automobiles. Exports were I good and gold plentiful. But the prosperity of the spring ! months were unevenly disrupted. Prices were out of normal adjustment. Foreign conditions wort ignored and many optimists argued that we did not need European markets to attain domestic prosperity. Asa result we soon found ourselves producing more than we could dispose of at the existing prices at home. Bluntly, there was overproduction In several basic industries and as exports diminished while Imports increased, prices began to fall. Morever, the inflation in wages in the home Industries, such as the building trades began to cut deeply ir.to profits. It was found that our industry could not go ahead without further readjustments to put it on a normal peace basis. Wheat Acreage Unduly Expanded For example, our wheat acreage had been unduly expanded as a result of high war prices, and it has to be reduced. Crude petroleum prices had been kept too high during the war and aTter. and they have o come down. Speculative building activity to profit by the housing shortage was pushed too rapidly and exorbitant prices had to check the abnormal spurt. So the reaction came about May. as forecast by the previous decline in the stock market and in whole sale prices. “Forward buying,” fell off and the unfilled orders for steel declined \sharply. Above all, new building projects dropped. The boom had rested largely on building activity and consequently decreased activity brought it to an end. On all sides we see declining wholesale prices and decreased activity in basic Industries. Retail prices and retail trade are always slower In reflecting changed Industrial conditions, and, therefore, they are making the best showing at present. Building permits are down. Iron and steel production has decreased, also bituminous coal production. Railway tonnage, when allowance for seasonal variations is made, fell off in June. Above all, business activity as reflected in the volume of bank checks (debits to Individual accounts), has been declining steadily <n comparison with the usual sea sonal movement. Even the number of business failures has increased again during the last two weeks I need hardly refer to the depressed condition of the stock market. Must Consider Europe This Is enough to show that the “business as usual” folks are blind or won’t see. But it does not lead to the conclusion that we are headed for another 1921 or 1908. I think it is merely a warning—a warning that there is no quick and easy out—a warning that the war is not yet over and that we must, work bard and pull together to bring back normal conditions. It Is foolish to think we can continue to prosper while Europe is in such bad shape and we are hoarding the world’s gold supply. But It is also foolish to think that we are headed for the "demnition and hnwwows.” Today credit conditions are not strained and there are no signs, of panic. The very fact that production in basic industries is being checked means an end to over-pro-duction. In the case of wheat and hogs and petroleum, this will take a long time and much hardship. But patience and ; business sense will work the thing out. Certainly no legislation can do it. (By the way, why rush to prosecute oil refiners for shutting down while

encouraging pools and restrictions on trade in the case of farmers?) The two great dangers are: 1. That we may be led astray on the broad and easy way of inflation. v 2. That we may not play a wise part in cooperating with Europe. We are certain to have proposals for unsound extensions of Government credit in connection with relief for farmers and the “soldiers’ bonus.” But do we want any more unsound booms? WOODEN BATTERY BOX REPLACED BY RUBBER CASES Colvin Battery Company Solves Problem of Too Rapid Deterioration, Battery makers are fast discontinuing the use of wood for battery boxes. Up to a few months ago, wood was used exec'.usively, although considerable trouble was experienced by car owners. Wood, it was proven, could not withstand the terrific strain placed upon it. The destructive acids and strong battery solutions often would cause the box to rot and fall apart long before the battery plates and Insulators began to show the slightest effect of service. According to F. A. Colvin of the Colvin Battery Company, 121 E. Maryland St., ‘it was very son realized an indestructible substitute must be found for the wood boxing in use and experiments were carried on with many different materials with l et little success until the hard rubbt* onepiece box, such as is used in our batteries, was produced. “This box is practically indestruci ible, molded in one piece with neither bolts, rivets, screws nor Joints to rust, come loose or fall apart. Acids, oil or dirt have no effect on it.” “Colvin batteries are sold with and completely covered by a gilt-edge twoyear guarantee, and there are over 2,300 In use at present in Indianapolis with only five or six replacements. These batteries are sold and manufactured with the idea of giving service and performance. Before a battery is allowed to leave the factory the generator of the car id care fully gone over by one of the best ignition experts in the city at our expense to see that it is In proper adjustment, that the battery without any handicap from that source may be able to give complete satisfaction.” “We have cut production costs down to a minimum without sacrificing highest quality materials and when we furnish a rubber cased Ford battery for $16.00 we know we are giving the highest battery quality obtainable at a redlculously low price,” Colvin said.

CONSUMPTION OF ICE CREAM GROWS WITH EACH YEAR Browder Firm Reports Increasing Summer Business —Food Value Noted, No longer considered to be a treat or luxury, ice cream is looked upon today as a food, rich in nutriment. J. B. Browder of the Browder Ice Cream Company, 918 North Senate Ave., says that never has this delicious frozen food been so universally used as during this supimer. "Ice cream is primarily American and great quantities are consumed by Americans during the whole year but especlaly during the summer months for then it’s cooling and refreshing qualities are duly appreciated. Factories have experimented with the product until they have achieved creams velvety in their smoothness, deliciously different as to flavor and color, and very rich in food content. ‘We make a specialty of party orders and some of the special orders are appetizingly beautiful. Bricks of different combinations prove very popular because of their adaptability to easy serving. Nuts, fruits, fruit juices are added to the ordinary creams in such a way as to appeal to the most fastidious. "Today there are more ice cream venders on the streets than almost any other kind—they have cones, ice cream sandwiches or ice cream slices—and they find a ready sale for them not only among the children but also among the grown-ups. Children, however, should be encouraged to eat plain Ice cream without the addition of fruits, nuts or syrups, it is not only non-injurious—it is actually healthful. Police Searching for Webb The police were searching for Baxter Webb, 807 Johnson St. John Belton of the same address alleged Webb cut him on the head and chest with a knife. Patrolmen Albers and Highes investigated. Grocery Register Looted Seven dollars was missing from the cash register at Edwin Wright’s grocery, 530 W. Morris St., today. A burglar entered his house, in the rear of the store, to get into the store.
