Don Gilliam, J. B. Pennington.lUoe Bunn and Geo. Pennington, just simply took the au dience by storm and it they had re sponded as they were encored, they would be singing at the Colonial this very moment. Their voices harmon ized beautifully and their selection were wejl rendered. All these young gentlemen have good voices and have the music in their system. Our folks hope they will appear soon again at the Colonial. ' Mrs. Farr;'"3 two songs were loud ly applauded. The recitation by Miss Margaret Taylor, pro and con, kept the audience listening intently and when she concluded, the applause she won expressed their appreciation of her effort.

This performance was for the ben efit of the Tar-bo-rah, the publica tion by the members of the senior class. FRESH AIR AS CURE ALL. SAYS BIG CHIEF MENOMINEE INDIAN RESERV ATION, Neopit, Wis., July 1. (By Associated Press.) Fresh air. in the opinion of an American Indian chief residing here, is an element of in finitely more properties than the oxy gen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and water vapor of which science has 1 found it composed. The chief is Re- ginald Oshkosh, descendant of the famous Chief Oshkosh. Peoole say. said Oahkosh, ex plaining his theory of air, "that the fresh air keeps them well, but it is not the air which docs so. When a man is ill, he goes to a physician, who writes a prescription. The pa tient takes this prescription to the druggist, who 'compounds, the drugs for which it calls, and when the man takes this prescription his ailment is cured. "The Indian knows plants, some of which are good for any illness he may have. These plants are used1 by the white man to make drugs, many of them the same plants which the Indian knows. God has scattered the plants everywhere in the woods and the country, and each one has an aro ma. When a man lives outdoors, when he.'liv in the fresh air, he is taking in thru the air, the aroma of these plants, so that his system absorbs the effects and they keep liim free from ailments, just as the physicians pre scription of the 'same drags would cure him. In the air, nature gives him the proper drugs in time to prevent il!n . ' ' . ', ' - ST. JAMES METHODIST CHURCH B. B. Slaughter, pastor. W. O. Howard, S. S. Supt.

The rubber in dustry in British colonic and protect, rates-has hard times ahead of it. That i is the opinion expressed by the com- . , o mittee appointed by the Colonial Sec-1 j retary to investigate the situation, i The Committe has just made its re-! port. It says the total world stocks of j crude rubber at the beginning of thei ! year were estimated at 310,000 tons, j That was much more than the world , required. Therefoi-e it advises Win ton Churchill, the Colonial Sectary, to "contemplate with grave concren the position of the industry in stocks and further to prevent over-production of rubber so long as the potential normal production continues to be substantially in excess of consumpt ion." The committe adds it is of the i opinion that consumption is not likely j to overtake production for some years. "There is no doubt" the committee goes on to say, That much can be done in the direction of stimulating new and extended uses of rubber." But that may not help much for the committe takes care to add: "This eonnot in itself provide an immediate solution of the problem, since much time must become sufficiently oper ative to bring about materially in creased consumption. Further it should 'bo realised - that improved methods of manufacturing rubber products, such as tires, undoubtedly prolong the life of the of the article and consequently curtail the deman for rubber." In the matter of the compulsory rti&t rir't inn of the nroduction of raw rubber, the committe says the Dutch government wnose tanas a.so p. ouuee , , , j I ,vi..V ..,,lKor will hnvo to be consult id.

Morris' three ply hit in the 7th, Davies" homer in the 3rd and F. Morris nice stop of a liner near the third-base line were the only commendable features Lindberg, hurling for the visitors, apparently gave out in the 7th, when the "monkeys" seemed to have a telU ing effect. Old Sol's rays were too j much for the portsider, and his weakness at this stage was very no ticeable. Webb was master of ceremonies thruout, and despite several errors made by his teammates, he was able to strain a point and hold the Bears in check when bobbles placed men on the corners. HOW THEY DID IT. In the first inning Davies was safe at. first when Bradley threw low to Crump. McLean sacrificed. Kotch took 'first on four bad ones.

Thursday, June 29, was St. Pet-, er's Day, and so before the week passes, we will have a sermon about ft. Pettr. There are two reasons why we should commemorate the lives of the taints: one is, that their holy lives are full of virtues which we well might imitate: and the other is that they uinv rt.i.a.- Knini. nOf tl CA hall, 11H j y tnt,jr prayers and service. Taking St. Peter from trte nrst standpoint, we will speak of the good example, of his courage, his bravery. He had many other virtues which made him fit to be the chief of the Apostles of Christ, but of them all his courage stands out foremost. At first, it may not seem that St. Peter was a particularly brave man, considering the fact that on at least 1 wo occasions, he was very much frightened. When he tried to walk on the water at Jesus' command, and the waves were so high, he became frightened and cried out in frantic terror. And when the servant girl in the high priest's yard on Thursday night of Holy Week, charged him with being the Lord's friend, he was j i'raid to own it. But the wact that Ye was sometimes scared does not contradict the fact that he was brave. No man ever was brove before' all danger, and at all times. If a man says he is not afraid of anything, he Oi.es not tell th.e truj.h. Everybody is. frai ot' something. One man may be perfectly fearless so far as other men are concerned, and yet be death ly afraid of his wife, like Jiggs or Kverctt True. Another man may be brave before ail physical danger, yet be awfully afraid of ghosts. I knew u man who was known as one of the bravest nf soldiers in Forest's caval iy, yet the very sight of a spider would almost give him a spasm. And rgain, r.o man is brave at all times. Kapoloon said that scarcely any man v cr was brave at two o'clock in the morning. It is much easier to be Irave when someone i watching you than when you are all alone. It is easier to be brave when you are good and mad than when you aTe in a good humor. A man is apt to be more or less of a coward if he is cold, and love can make the most timid crea ture brave. So St. Peter was afraid twice that we know of, yet you will notice that on both of these occa- was only a prophet like ,lijan or jer ennah, or some other man like that Jbf us asked His Apostles whom did the ythink He was, and St. Peter an swered, "Thou art the ,Son of , the . T.ivmif Cod." That was mental cour 8ge. s when gt.-John and St. Peter reaehod the empty tomb of Jesus. where the women had seen angels gt eRpeA d(n into the open grave. That ws spir- itual coura,e. 4. When the high priest charged St. Feter and St. John wt to spe.k Rny more about JesU8 lto the peoplc, St peter replied that it wag betlrr t. nh f-D a than men. and that an v- - , wav. he could not but speak u.v hn eniiiil nnt but soeaK tiiz things that he had seen and heard. That was the courage ol laitn. , 5. And when at last St. Peter was given the choice between being cAi cified, or denying his Lord, hs said he had only one Tequest, that ha be crieified head downward, because he not fit to di in the same os
