tenets of the congregation will be
beat fived in the- minds of the
reader when it is stated that Dr.

a furore In tne valley a year ago.
is one of the principal teachers of
the doctrines.
Rev. Chas. O. Tlenham has been
holding the revival all during Jan

cept on Mondays. He was ending
his service in Dallas and submit
ted to three hundred people pres
ent the uestion as to whether they
wished to continue the work
permanently. Fifty-two declared
their willingness to become active
members of the new congregation
and eighty-seven agreed to be as
sociate members, these latter re
taining their present church mem-j
bership. Those , most interested
say that this means that the new
congregation will hecome a perm

Dallas. It was also decided to
continue the revival. Rev. Dr.

work in Silverton, to have charge.
Dr. Webber began his meetings
Wednesday evening.
Rev. Newberry, dean of the
Simpson Bible Institute at Seattle
preached the sermon Monday
night. He contended that but 20
per cent of the citizens of the
United States attend church, Pro

is plenty of room for evangeliza
tion.
Quite a number of those attend
ing the meeting testified to h?.v
ing been physically healed during
the meetings. There are several
in Dallas who hold that they were
healed at previous times, or dur
ing the visit of Price. Some of
the cases are so well authenticat
ed that they have attracted much
attention. One result is that the
outlook for the formation of an
influential church is very promis
ing. Local ministers have had
nothing to do with this revival.

George Thompson, president of

to many growers, with tne view
of having a general discussion.

John It. Quinn. national com
mander r the American legion.
In making this declaration.
Commander Quinn added that
Secretary Mellon had also failed
to lake into account the estimated
savings of $ 22n.nnn.nno to $2".n.v
ttnn.nnn which economies of na
tional administration will pro
duce. Demonstration Planned
The statements were made ;:t
the all-day session of .legion's na

at the Hotel Washington vbn

"The secretary of the treasury
is the greatest ell MilV of the --x-service

Comm. mill' tiiinn told the ib-lf-p..ttes
from 4S states.

Mellon Combat I eel
"There is about $16n.0'i0,noo
a year paid on tne oent ana .i"i-
lou's latest estimate is $475,000.-
000 for the first four years, an
average of a little less than $119,-
000.000 a year. It will Dot cost
that much as Mellon undoubtedly
knows.b tit meeting him on his
own ground we nave more man
enough to pay the cost without
inflicting hardships on any class
of people, and without hindering
tax reduction. It can be seen that
taxes can be reduced. 1 want them
reduced and so does the legion.
And Mellon is insulting our intel
ligence when he says that there
can be no tax reduction if the ad
justed compensation bill is paid."
The vanguard of the legion's
legislative forces which have been
augmented daily by such men as
Governor James Scrugham of Ne
vada, received reports of the mass
meetings which are being held in
all parts of the country. Thou
sands of pamphlets detailing Mel
Ion's "billion dollar error," to
gether with the true figures on
adjusted compensation costs will
be distributed in every state.
Fight to Finish
The committee declared itself
in the fight "to the finish."
Commander Quinn and John
Thomas Taylor conferred with
Senator Curtis of the finance com
mittee. Each legion committee
man naid a visit to the senators
and representatives from his dis
trict.
Donald Strachan, national exec
utive committeeman ttoni .New
York, introduced a resolution
which declared that adjusted com
pensation was a constitutional
question, a right and debt owing
to ex-service men under the con
titution.
Text of Resolution
The resolution follows:
"Whereas, the motives of the
ex-service mpn oi uie i imeii
States' in approving the proposal
ol congress to adjust war pay
have been misconstrued, and ma
ligned, and
Whereas, we are aware that
when property is taken by the
government under constitutional
principles, compensation is re
required to be made therefor, and
"Whereas, it is the duty of this
American legion to express the
sentiments of the ex-service men,
"Now, therefore, be it resolved,
That we consider adjusted com
pensation a constitution question.
recognizing the great const it utfon
al principle that the duty to de
fend the I'nited States in time of
war rests equally upon all citi
zens and that neither a mans
property nor his time (his life)
can be taken without adequate
compensation as a fulfillment of
the promise of the Declaration of
Independence that all citizens are
equally entitled as inalienable
rights to life, liberty and proper
ty."

A stoiv of the commercial rise
of a middle west town and its
visionary promoter, a native son,
Dan Oliphant.
A midlander by birth, Tarking
ton seems to feel the pulse ol" bis
small town folk. His people are
rear, living persons meeting com
mon everyday situations in com
mon everyday ways. I know of
i;o writer who vrites of the heart
of the small town folk as Tark
ington. His Alice Adams, his
Pen rod, his Gentleman from In
diana, are notable smatl towm
c pics.
To a city cliff dweller, the ap
peal may not show itself in the
p.idlander. But to the middle
westerner' himself, who has spent
his lite as such, watching the
growth of his home town, watc-h-
strength. Dan is not a Babbitt;
He does not care for - persouaF
glory. His is the heart "of
genuine promoter who promote!)
for the ultimate rise of the envirv
oument, and little thinks of the
difficulty in passing. '

lunate, lo a city, doll-like crea
ture who hates the west with its
burred It's and its flagrant (to
her) provincialism. She tolerates
it only a she doesn't think of
something better to do. Their one;
son grows up typically a "cake
eater" whose childhood is divided1
between European. Tesorts and'
American joy rides. Martha, thtl
girl next door, has always loved?;
Dan and auhwiifently is the con- ,
slant butt of Dan's wife, Lena's,;
caustic tongue. Dan has always
been wholly unaware of Martha's
affection. i
The story of the town, its de
velopment and its personal strug
gles is the real sory of the ,Mid
lander. The life of Dan Oliphant
is so entwined that it might be
called a joint story of "Midland
and The Midlander." i
The ending is not. true to the
tcoepted modern motion picture
