PEOPLE ARE CITIZENS

REALM, SAYS SUNDAY "We are citizens of two worlds, tho earthly and the sDiritual," Rev. William A. Sunday told the Teachers' Institute at the David Worth Dennis school Saturday morning. Telling the story of the loss of citizenship by Nolan, Sunday declared that he was going to write a companion story, except that the man was to lose and win again his citizenship in the spiritual world. "Evolution," he declared, "Is contrary to the Bible. "If man was created, he did not evolute." "No monkey can talk," he argued. "A crow or a parrot can do better than he. No monkey ever tried to build a railroad, or think about his creator, or do anything but chatter. "That idea of man evolving from a monkey is all bunk. You can have your monkey ancestor if you wane to, but I don't want him." Difference Is Spiritual The one characteristic that man has that the animals do not, Mr. Sunday said, is the spiritual. Both animal and man have physical, mental, esthetic and emotional characteristics in com mon. "But," he declared, "you never see an animal pray, or show any interest in its creator, or in the future. "It is that characteristic that makes it impossible for man to have evolved from the animals. A special reservation of 150 seats are to be kept for the teachers at the sermon Saturday night. "We do not do that very often," Mr. Sunday said. "It is a special favor that we are giving you this Saturday." EXHIBIT OF STARR SCHOOL CONDUCTED Starr school held Its annual allschool exhibit this week, 150 visitors attending. Exhibits were held in each grade room on the first floor and in the various department rooms on the second floor. The kindergarten sold flowers In a little flowershop and had pictures of flowers, trees and figures about the room. Writing and spelling papers by the first and second grades and an exhibit of pictures, of birds and flowers, some of them in designs, clowns and street cars, by the third grade were on the first floor. In the classrooms upstairs were spelling, arithmetic, history, geography and English papers. A display of woodwork was in one room, penmanship exhibits in the writing room and in the art room an assortment of illustrations of the story of the three bears, Greece and Rome, pioneer life, Indian and Eskimo life, and some pictures of Starr school. Color work, music papers and nature pictures completed the exhibition. Every child in the school was represented. WILL SELL POPPIES TO HONOR DEAD VETS National Poppy day will be observed Saturday, May 27, with the sale of tiny buttonhole poppies in cities throughout the country, the poppies to be worn Memorial day as a token of respect for the American sons who have given their lives for their country at home and on foreign soil and as a tribute to those who lie "in Flanders field where poppies grow." Patriotic organizations and their auxiliaries are taking the flower sale under their direction. The auxiliary of the American Legion will sell them in this city. GEN. CHANG SETS UP INDEPENDENT RULE TIENTSIN, May 13 An Independent government has been set up by General Chang Tso-Lin, defeated military governor of Mukden. A declaration of independence issued from his headquarters at Luanchow says that, having been divested by the president of authority in Manchuria, Mongolia and Jehol, he henceforth repudiates all instructions from the president and all treaties negotiated by him. The declaration sets forth that Chang intends to make favorable treaties with friendly powers in the name of the regions enumerated and will assume responsibility for the protection of foreign lives and property there. Foreign diplomats must communicate with him at Luanchow. News from the Kaiping mining area is increasingly grave. The American military forces which are in charge of the railway In that section are considering the advisability of withdrawng all foreigners. If this step is taken it probably will result in incalculable damage to the mining property. UNKNOWN ASSASSINS KILL TWO ITALIANS CHICAGGO, May 13.
