CHURCHES ARE GROWING
i - Puring the past two years practically all kinds of clubs
and social organizations have ibeen .losing members. Some
drop out because they cannot pay the dues, while .others
have come to the conclusion that the benefits they derive
from alien organizations are not worth the time, money; arid
effort required by membership. .
,,f,",A great' many people who have resigned from clubs and
societies apparently have found that now they have the
ttiAd for "certain activities which are really more worth
Vhjle. Ministers report increased attendance at churches
and Sunday schools. This is true here in Lit .Grande as well
,'j$S'ih large cities all over the nation.
7.';'-3ven during the summer months, when the great out
doors' was at the .height of its beauty and attractiveness,
churches drew larger crowds than ..usual. ,0 course .the
'church "treasuries have suffered, but not nearly as 'much,'
strange to say, as the treasuries of organizations where the
payment of dues and assessments is' required.' ' v"'' '
" It has been true of every generation since the building of
the' ertrjiest civilizations that prosperity develops widespread
indifference to religion and spiritual values, while adversity
has the opposite influence, making men and women '.realize!
that they have soiils and that .there is something more im-i
pbta'nt in life than physical comfort and notorial posses-;
sions.
l"';'iSimy people today are of the opinion that the church is
declining in numbers and in influence; and they point put
,the prevalence of crime, spiritual indifference, Sunday sports;
and amusements, arid other opposing factors as proof of
their belief. Anyone casting a superficial glance at present
day civilization is strongly inclined to agree with them, it is
.true. But the facts tell a different story. ' ' '
'i Over a period of five years, from 1927 through 1931, the
churches of the United States, both .Catholic and Protestant,:
gained almost four million members. That is especially sur
prising 'since three of those five years were peak prosperity
years during which religious interests were naturally at Jow
tideJ' It is very probable that 1932 arid JL933 will show a
gain almost equal to that of the five years preceding.
. '. The fact is .that right now the ratio of church member-!
'ship to population in the United States is higher than over
before' not oven excluding the early days when "everybody
went to church" according to a common but evidently errone
ous conception. . . .' ' '
' This healthy growth of the churches is encouraging, to
say the least) for the influence of churches is one of the most
important factors in ,the life of the nation. Churches are a
constant power for good, always appealing ,t0 the .highest,
natives and ideals in men and women, and encouraging them'
to be and do their best. 1
.. , WI1V MISSING PERSONS?
V ' When newspapers recently announced the mysterious dis
appearance of Colonel Raymond -Robins, they touched once
more on' the fringes of one of the strangest, most eerie
phenomena of human life the way in which people' now
nd then vanish, almost literally, from human sight, leaving
'Jft'clcw and never making a roappareaucc.
'.' Such things happen, cause a brief sensation, and then
are forgotten. lut a sensitive reader gets a shudder or two
out of thinking about them. They are sometimes so utterly
inexplicable, so profoundly weird, that one almost can bc
HcVe in those hceebie-jcehie stories of the old days about
maleficent spirits and trapdoors in the earth's atmosphere.
'.What, for example, became of Dorothy Arnold, the New
York society girl who strolled along Fifth avenue in broad
daylight 22 years ago, on her way to have luncheon at a
mid-town hotel with her mother, and who has never since
.been seen?
' Where is Judge Crater of New York's supreme court, who
got into a taxicab in front of a restaurant one evening in
August, 1930, waved goodby to some acquaintances, and
went off into an obscurity so profound that although $200,
;000 has been spent on a hunt for him no one has been able
jcven to discover a reason for his disappearance V
J Where are the scores of other lesser known folk, who
Vanished just as mysteriously but who didn't get such big
headlines in the newspapers? Were they victims of that
.odd, little-understood malady called amnesia? Did sudden
'illness of some other nature strike them down? Did kid
'tapers, footpads, white slavers or what-not make away with
them? Did they yield to an unexpected and inexplicable
.impulse simply to run away, discarding the old life and try
ing to create a new one in different surroundings?
Asking these questions is easy. Answering them, usually,
is impossible. We only know that someone who seemed con
sented and busy has disappeared; and the mystery lias an
ejerie,' shivery tinge to it that makes us, in spite of ourselves,
remember the old wives' tales that used to frighten our cre
dulous ancestors.

amount of time to Its consideration
and the voters ot the state being ro
peatedly called upon to pass on In
itiative and referendum measures
dealing with the problem.
ProDonenta of closing the river to
commercial fishermen argue with
somo soundness that the river is tho
property of the state and not to be
used by a small group of local resi
dents as n means' of livelihood. Their
contention further Is that tho sports

than would the annual salmon nack

llti ' 'fishermen and cannery owners
Who have inviwtmentii In etilpincit,

for a loiuf period of time and aro i
entitled to continue in their well I

contention is that there are enough
salmon for both contmcrclal fishing I
and tho sportsmen. ; They are willing ,

to insure, a couttiiuanco of tho an-;
nual l-uns of fish.

In their last contention, namely that

poses If tho seasons arc properly j

Serious Losses
Certain Unless
Roads Kept Up
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 (Special)
That "tlio taxpayers in many coun
ties of this country are Inviting seri
ous losses In road Investments unless
they change their line of reasoning"
is a warning contained In a state
ment issued today by Charles M.
Up ham, engineer-director of tho
American Road Builders' association.
This association, through its re
search work and educational efforta,
has done much toward standardizing
highway practices and effecting econ
omics In road work.
"In somo counties tho taxpayers, In
their determination to reduce public
expenditures, have gono so far as to
wipe out road levies entirely and
leavo tho county without funds to
maintain the roads they have," says
Mr. Upham. "In other counties,
though tho money is available for
proper maintenance, minority groups
nf fn.xnn.Vftm havn tnnlatH t.ltnt. ritiirl
i expenditures bo stopped entirely. i
"Every county should divide Its '
road work Into two distinct classes
first, maintenance and second, new
construction. What a county should
do toward furthering a now con-
structloii program is always a. matlcr
of careful consideration for both of
ficials and taxpayers, but there never
sliould bo any question In the minds
of -cither - regarding '-the- 'advisability
of maintaining' ih roads they have. .
"Every county hna thousands and
some counties millions of dollars In- ,
vested in roads, and as a matter of
common sense economy, every tax-1
payor should not only favor but in- '
slat upon tho roads being kept up
In proper condition in order to pre- i
servo this huge investmont. Neglect '
of proper maintenance for a matter
of only a few months can easily pub
unpaved roads Into a condition which
will involve expensive repairs or re
construction much more costly than '
maintenance this Is to say nothing
of tho inconvenience and inevitably ;
higher costl of traveling poor roads.
"It is to do hoped that taxpayers '
everywhere in their righteous en-1
deavors for economy in public ex- j
lcnditures will not insist upon un-
rensonaoio extremes, which will
threaten tho deterioration of our
present highway system In which ev
ery taxpayer has a vital interest and
considerable Investment. Let us keep
up our roads nnd save this invest
ment, seeing that tho ronds are not

For on Instant Chorry thought the
words would not come. Her hands,
twisting together and hidden by the
table, were like ice. She felt as
though some terrible, chilling force
had taken possession of her. She
could not speak. She could not move,
but sat there staring down at her
plate. i
.Over and over In her brain the
words pounded. "Dan and that
woman! Herel Dan and Brenda
Vail!" ' ;
It was only a moment but for
Cherry that moment was a lifetime.
She raised her eyes then and some
how found her voice. She said
limply, "I'm afraid I can't stay for
lunch. Max. A sudden headache I
get them sometimes. If you'll call a

Pearson was all solicitude. If he
had noticed the couple so near to
them he gave no sign. He said a
