The enforcement of the Regional
ruel Board ruling is unquestionably
orkinff a hardship upon normal bus
ies life and further is working a
create!- hardship upon some lines of
endeavor than upon others. .This is
vnavoidable in any widespread order.
The public who is the Goat in the
trike of the coal miners must stand
cat and fight the issue squ&rely what
ever the cost. The shortage of coal
made the action necessary those in
qarge state and it is the duty of
Cvery one to conserve the fuel supply
of the Nation to the utmost, and! not
force the Government to make conces
sions to the miners.
This county must shake the strangle
hold of the labor unions from .its
throat. The public, represented in the
biggest Union of them all the United
States of America must be protected
and not let a bunch of ' foreigners,
scabs and bolsheviks, block production
et every turn as they demand more
pay for less work.
Comply cheerfully with the request
for fuel conservation. Our Union
America must prove to be the big
gest in the world with the liberties it
sanctions. Things have reached a
thowdown. Sit steady in the boat, do
ycur all to comply with the letter and
spirit of the law, and help protect the
rights of the public by showing the
pewer of the public.
Let's settle the matter now for all
time.
It is almost a calamity for clothes to
be high when coal is scarce.
Success is the result of riding the
horse of circumstance with a bit of
pood cheer.

BEFORE GOOD CROWDS IN
WARREN'S COURT HOUSE
Scores The Reasons Why Some
People Refuse To Join CJiurch
and Pleas For Line of Demark
tion In Life.
With Dr. Thurston B. Price bring
ing home the vital truths of the Gos
pel in the two services each day and
Mr. J. Dale Stentz presenting the mes
sage in ng, entire Warrenton and
many sections of the county are be
coming deeply interested! in the union
meeting being held in the Court House.
9 Dr. Price's discourses are featured
by an adherence to the fundamentals
of a christian life as manifest in the
fruits of that life and fearlessly he
points the ways of error which are
blocking the path of Christianity. He
pleads for a line of demarkation be
tween the church member and the per
son non-affiliated.
With a lare gift of preenting truth
in the wake of an amusing incident1 he
gathers rapt attention from the -audience
as he drives home the cardinal
points. It makes no difference to
Price whether he steps on anyone's
practices or not, he preaches not what
he thinks people want to hear but
frankly, fearlessly, relentlessly, un
tiringly, and strongly tells the church
what, it ought to know and what it
ought to demand of its membership.
Thinking men of the town and hose
who have heard the message of his
talks feel that they touch to the
quick the fundamental relationships
of a practical religion as it should be
manifest day by day.
The evangelist scored severely the
man who will not pay his debts declar
ing more respect for one who delib
erately forces money at the point of
a gun than for the person who trades
upon the confidence of his fellowman
andupon the credit of a community.
He scored the man. who makes money
in an unchristian way for six days and
adopts a sanctimonious, air on the Sab
bath; profiteering was condemmed as
plain lying and stealing; the people
who will not forget grudges and nurse
grievances against their fellowman;
the long-tongued1 gossiping women,
and the modern dance, card oarty
and average threatre. He sounded the
call for a return to the religion of our
forefathers with its sincerity instead
of the cajoling, sentimental, namby
pamby belief which denotes the aver
age church member today.
The messagesbeing delivered from
the 'judges stand at the Court House
are greeted by large crowds and the
meeting is destined to play a great
part in the welfare of the people who
are intent hearers of the subjects ably
presented
The evangelist tonight will talk
upon the "Trail of An American Boy"
and the outlook is for a packed house.
Tomorrow , night is Sunday school
night with all people cordially invited
to theservices. Sunday night the an

NATION-WIDE CAMPAIGN
DRIVE SUNDAY AFTERNOON
.The Every-member canvass takes
place through the United States on
December 7th.
Our full quota for the Parish of
Warrenton is $4626.00 to be raised m
3 yrs. The pledge cards will be col
lected afresh each year, Las I under
stand it, making three annual drives
each for $1542.00.
Please note that this sum of $1542.
is simply an extra" sum to be raised
every year for three years. Our en
tire annual budget for Parish " ex
penses and the Churches' Mission will
therefore, be just double what it has
always been. Hitherto we have rais
ed .each .year about $1500.00 to run the
parish and! pay Missionary dues. Now
we must raise, a little more than
$3000.00 per annum to take -care of
everything. This is less than $100.00
per family per annum and if some can
only give half or a quarter of this
amount there are many in our Church
who will gladly give several times
more.
In other words we can raise our an
nual budget of $3000.00 if we will,
half of which will remain in the Par
ish and the other half go to the Cam
paign assessment.
We have been praying and working
for this hour. Let us prove worthy of
it when it comes.
For information apply to W. G.
