No. Church attendance has increased and so has interest in church work. Two of the three pastors who opposed the plan are no longer in Canaseraga and their churches are closed for an indefinite period.

Think About This

If a salesman steals for you now he'll steal from you later. If he lies for you now, he'll lie to you later. Frank Gamerl.

Carlyle Ellis who wrote the article on which this editorial is based asked the parson why so many.Y. M. C. A. and similar experiments with pictures failed. Here's the answer: "Because they have subordinated the amusement or entertainment feature to education or something else. In trying to be sure they were harmless they became merely dull. Drama is one of the greatest teachers in the world, and to Tnake it preachy or goody-goody only weakens it and kills its real value.''

The Parson Who Believed in Pictures Reverend Harry E. Robbins is an Episcopal parson whose parish is in Canaseraga, New York. It might just as well have been in a suburb of New York City, in Richmond, Greensfork or AbIngton. Canaseraga was a typical country town until

the Rev. Mr. Robbins took an interest in motion! i

pictures. Then it became a town with an individuality and a personality. So much for the introduction and setting. If you want more details read the February number of Everybody's magazine.

Every sermon must have an APPLICATION: Why try to legislate against Sunday movies in Richmond? If they are not of high standard, insist on improvement. The owner of a motion picture theatre caters to the demand of his patrons. If this doesn't meet the situation, show a few good films in a church some Sunday night and see

what it does to church attendance.

The Rev. Mr. Robbins found that the people of his parish needed more recreation and better recreation. He organized a Men's club and bought a billiard and a pool table. Hardly had Canaseraga regained its composure before he startled the citizens again. He saw an old red-brick opera house that was idle almost all the year. Once in a while, a burlesque offered an indecent production to the amusement hungry populace. The jJarson linked the wide appeal of the movie with the empty opera house. Why not use the greatest socializing force in America, the Rev.

Mr. Robbins asked himself. The nearest movie house was twelve miles away. Why not operate a movie in Canaseraga? Why not make it a community affair? Why not invite every church to help?

Are You Proud of Your Front Yard? Usually it is the back yard that is an eyesore and a disgrace to the owner of the property. Now we learn that the front yards of Richmond need improvement and that badly. The report of the survey for vocational education opened our eyes to the value of the front yard. The report sets out that most houses in Richmond are of square construction and that the hard lines are unbroken by vines and climbing plants. The experts who made the study say that our citizens have overlooked the advantages of shrubbery, flowers and vines. Look along a block of Richmond and you will see a stretch of angular house fronts. The view is monotonous. Corners protrude at sharp angles. Square porches stick out from the fronts. No green shrubbery or clinging vines soften the

1 view and give relief. I . A new tone of homelike comfort could be given to every block in Richmond by the planting of

vines along the houses and verandas, and by breaking the lines with shrubbery and flowers. The redeeming feature of the landscape aspect of Richmond is the magnificent growths of trees that parallel the streets. They hide the ungainly

and cumbersome houses that flank the thorough

The little man did not answer; he turned his bowler hat round and round between his square red hands. There ya a sound of a voice on the stairs. "Sir Maline Gorde is coming down. I must leave you, I am afraid," the .Eister said. "Supposin" 'is memory don't return?" Dosser said. "Suppose it don't?" He went cut into the street. The chauffeur of the waiting car asked him facetiously if he'd been receiving treatment. " 'Oo's car is this?" Dosser asked."Sir Maline Gorde's the nerve doctor's," the chauffeur answered complacently. "I've got to see 'ira," Dosser said suddenly. "Nervop, my lad?" "No; I'm goin' to ask 'im to attend to you'" blocmin brain it needs it!" Sir Maline came out. Instantly the chauffeur returned to his place by the door of the car. "Home."

inside with electric light. He found i himself gazing directly over the head j of the doctor, who was writing in a

purpie-coverea note-took. "Memory subversive to hypnotism," he made out; then at the top of the page he read the initials, "R. F." The word "memory" seemed to leap out of the book and into his brain memory and hypnotism. He ducked quickly as the car slowed down, and was standing on the broad steps of No. 09 when Sir Maline having dismissed the car, came up. "I can see no patients at this hour," he said coldly. "Beg pardon, sir, I ain't a patient; I'm Captain Fane's servant, and I've come to ask you 'ow the master is." "You may come in." . "Thank you, sir." He followed Sir Maline into a little study on the right side of the hall.

"When did you last see your master?" the surgeon asked abruptly. "I took 'im some thing 'e wanted on Tuesday, sir; but 'e was asleep when I was in 'is room, and I 'aven't rightly spoken to 'im since Sunday, the day before 'is operation." "H-m! Well, my good man, I fear I have not the best possible news of your master at present; as a result of the operation, his mind requires absolute rest absolute rest," he repeated. "Yes, sir; I understand, sir." There was a knock at the door. "I shall be back In a moment," Sir Maline said curtly as he went out. Dosser stared around him. He walked to the writing table and sat down. As he did so he dropped his hat, and in picking it up one of the buttonholes of his coat caught the handle of the writing table drawer and opened It. "Steady steady," said Dosser. He opened the drawer still wider in his efforts to twist himself free. Inside the drawer lay a large photograph of Rachel Ford. Dosser turned it over.

" 'To Maline from Rachel. " he read. He pushed the drawer to again. "So 'e knows 'er too!" His shrewd little face was creased up in thought He got up and, tiptoeing over to a bookcase, gently tried the drawer there. It opened at once, but it was empty. Dosser stooped down to look at the back of it. It had no back. "Blows a bit cold," he murmured. To be continued

Few people realize what a serious disease Catarrh really is. If neglected the damage It does is often irreparable. Deafness, Lung troubles and Head Noises that drive the sufferer nearly frantic are invariably due to this insidious disease. Don't neglect Catarrh! Don't let it make you into a worn-out, run-down Catarrhal wreck. What is Catarrh today may soon be something far more serious. Remember it is more than a trifling ailment more than a disgusting disease. It's a dangerous one. Unchecked it frequently destroys smell, taste and hearing and slowly but surely undermines the general health. If you have Catarrh in any form go to your druggist and get an ounce of Parmint (double strength), about 75c worth. Take this home and add to it pint of hot water and 4 ounces ordinary granulated sugar. Take a tablespoonful four times a day. Parmint is the great European recipe for Catarrh that is now being so exten-

The intrepid parson overhauled the house, went to New York to buy the equipment, contracted for a high class film service, did the first bill posting himself. Then he made a proposition to the Sunday school scholars of ALL the churches. Every boy and girl that went to Sunday school received a ticket free for the movie. The town needed church choirs. Every person who attended choir rehearsal received a ticket. Beth Sunday

Republic Trucks Whether your loads are 500-pound, 1000-pound or 1500pound Republic Dispatch makes your delivery cost the lowest. Here are the reasons: Makeshifts have been tried and found wanting. Business men have now had time to figure length of service, and satisfaction of service, along with first cost. They now know that delivery even of 500-pound loads is truck work a service that no pleasure car chassis can stand up under. It is truck work that requires solid tires as well as pneumatics. The ordinary light car goes to pieces on hard tires. It requires truck construction throughout especially designed with truck strength, and Truck Durability in light weight with ample power and speed for the 1500-pound load as well as the 500-pound load.' Republic Dispatch Model 9 meets this need in every respect. Built by truck experts of fifteen years' experience. Built in a truck factory the largest in the world making trucks and nothing else.

The First Truck For Light Delivery Work A few years ago a widespread demand arose for light commercial cars. The opportunity was tempting. Many makeshifts were offered. The converted chassis and ihe hastily thrown together commercial car were rushed into the market. Republic designers and engineers were working out our trucks for this field. The Republic refused to he stampeded. Republic truck3 for heavier duty were in service all over the world establishing the Republic Reputation making records up to 30,000 miles on original tires with little or no repair expense. We would not offer a Republic for light delivery until we were certain it would give the service in this field that over 10,000 larger Republics are giving in their fields. Republic Dispatch Model 9 is the Answer It was tested a full year before it was announced. It was put to the hardest service far harder than it will ever have to give in any purchaser's hands. The crowning test came when, heavily loaded, it Went on an overland trip from Alma, Michigan, with Los Angeles, Calif., as its destination. The route it took totals 3.760 miles. A 3,760-milc truck haul is, to say the least, unusual. Republic Dispatch traveled through mud and sand up to the hubs took the stiffest grades made daily records of 200 miles for much of the way. It shows the Sturdiness. the Speed, the Capacity, and the Fuel Economy that make it a Republic Truck. SEE THE REPUBLIC DISPATCH

Republic Internal Gear Drive Makes Solid Tires Practicable Solid or Pneumatic tires are optional on Republic Dispatch. We recommend Solid Tires. You have never before heard of a manufacturer recommending solid tires for a light delivery car. Why? For the very good reason that ordinary light car mechanism can not stand the jolts, jars and vibration. Republic Dispatch with its Republic-Torbensen Internal Gear Drive axle makes solid tires entirely practicable. You can forget tire trouble expense and delays on r.ccount of punctures and blowouts and you can be certain of Smooth Service, and the protection and long life of your truck mechanism. A Truck that Adds Distinction to Your Business Republic Dispatch built for the hard work of the thousand and one kinds of light delivery and haulage has Dignity, Style and Smartness befitting the most exclusive business. It comes to you complete with Express Body and Canopy Top, Side Curtains, Glass Front, Electric Lights, Electric Horn, Generator and Storage Battery. $750. The same truck with handsomely enameled solid panel body, $773. Whether your work calls for only one Republic Dispatch or whether you use a fleet of them, your pride of ownership will figure largely in your satisfaction. Your truck will look the superiority that it has inside the hood, underneath the body. JUDGE FOR YOURSELF CALL
