One is the matter of whether a dty marshal and others officers of much less importance, shall be a&cted by a direct vote, or be ap Uumted and paid by the council. This is a matter that has been wxmg to the council for a number of years. By the circumstances sur acoinduig the government of a town this size, the marshal is a very inportant official. He is the only "dividual who is paid for devoting its entire time to the affairs of the city, and we have in a number of instances during the past few years, lad the example of a council which was anxious and willing that the affairs of the city be cared for in a proper manner, and a marshal who absolutely refused to do anything lot draw his salary. 1b instances like these the council la, powerless. The voter says that lie will never vote for any of those .BBnudTmen again, for the affairs of fca dty are not being properly con iaeted. Perhaps so, but while vot ing for a good councilman, a mar ital is sometimes elected who "needs the aaooey" and the good that is done on the one hand is counter act ad an the other, and more. Hie cpuncil is made up of busi ness men who have the affairs of ibe city at heart, and who as at present, are taxpayers, and some of 3bem heavy contributors to the sup Start of the city. Tbe marshal is a man of another type always, and should be in the control of the council. If you are in favor of doing the best thing for the city, and of law enforcement, you will vote S02 X yes at the city hall tomorrow. Then if there are matters for which the council should be taken into account, it will be up to them to fire the marshal and hire one that will do the business, and do it right. This is a day of effi ciency, and this is the way to get it in the city affairs. The other matter is that of rais ing the millage limit from ten to fifteen mills. Thef inance committee which by the way has some able financiers among its members, has considered that matter and thinks that this action is necessary, and as they are able men, and have giv en it more thought than anyone else perhaps, we feel that this should pass also. Candidly however, we think that the council is unduly frightened about the matter of finances, for we cannot yet forget what was done another time a few short years ago when there was a levy of much less than ten mills and no license money either, yet you can make no mis take in marking your ballot 300 X yes. It does not necessarily mean that your taxes will be higher next year, but it does mean that if more money is needed for any city work it can be had, and that the hands of the council will be tied in this mat ter. To vote yes on both these mea sures is but a courtesy that is due the present council, and in every respect is a safe thing to do. By all means vote, and this ap plies to the ladies too.

Dowell preached a good sermon on the chureh as a body, the relationship each part of the organization bears to the re mainder of the body and the ideal church, at the Baptist church Sun day morning October 31. His text was taken from Corin thians II, verses 26 and 27. He demonstrated that each mem ber of the church body has special work, special offices to fill, and duties that cannot be performed by any other individual or part. He said that the duties and abilities of no two individuals were the same, and that no one should be reluctant to perform the tasks that were easiest for him in the church, but that all should do the things for which they were best adapted by natural fitness and ability. When Jesus said "Go ye into the world and preach the gospel to all the people," he meant that the work of spreading the gospel should be crowded by the church as much as possible. "If we may see ourselves," said Rev. Dowell, "and find our place in the church, we may help much more in this work." The speaker then said that the ideal church should be the ambition of every church organization, and that if the church is to accomplish anything they must strive for an ideal, have a definite purpose and work to that end. "It is the business of the church," he said to teach the world of that which is good, to give out informa tion on all matters scriptural like an immense library, to be like the home, in some respects as a hotel where the weary may rest on their ft ft ft ft ft ft Use better Jlour That Prinore Pancake Flour!

In a measure the church should resemble the public school, a place where the members should learn more from one day to the next." "Love of the individual members for the church should grow and become stronger and finally become able to endure and give its power and strength until the world is lighted with the spirit of God." "Above all, it should become the power to enable Christ to become enthroned in the hearts of the pen-pie." "The church' should make it a business to fight sin wherever it is found, and harmonize with itself at II times." "If the church is to move as a human body," he aaid, "someon t must take all the places, in order for that body to move about har moniously. There is a place, and work for everyone in the church and the individual should take the things and do the work for which he is best fitted. Use the things with which you have been gifted."
