In this last disaster sixty-one men were entombed and rescued only after miracu lous escape from poisonous gas with which it was Relieved, for a time, the mine was filled. The suspense for the fam ilies, relatives and friends was equalled only by that of the miners themselves. That more effective measures providing against prob able death from explosion, suffocation or starvation in case I of explosions or shut-off s are cusable. Tube connections with the area in which the miners work and the outside' surface from which air and even food .and water could be sent in are Coal dust explosions, common sources of disaster and death, can be prevented easily and at slight cost. Rock dust can be employed for this purpose. The method of application is by sprinkling the underground working space with it. In addiiton to the safety to human life this preventive safe guards property also! There are now over one hundred coal companies taking advantage of this means of safety insur ance. And several of i'tie. casualty insurance companies have reduced their insurance rates for those mines taking this precaution. About a year ago there was an explosion at Castle Gate, Utah in ;hich there were 172 miners killed. Utah speedily enacteyt' legislation which requires that all mines within her borders shall"' be rock dusted. This year three additional States, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Wyoming followed with laws providing for sprinkling similarly in the bitumin ous mines. In England where rock dusting is required by law dis asters due to coal dust explosions have been eliminated. The cost of dusting is one cent for each ton of coal mined. Con trast this cost with the cost of therdust explosions in 1924 during which four hundred and fifty-nine lives were snuffed out and more hundreds of widows, and children deprived of bread winners. Publid relief runs high. The property loss due to the Castle Gate disaster alone was more than $1,000, 000. But human life is worth more than all the mines. Mine owners and operators should provide safety meas ures as suggested here for their employes. And for those who will not take these precautions there should be legisla tion requiring these measures be taken. To allow human life to be held in jeopardy in the mines is no less than criminal. It should be made so by law and those who disobey the law punished for their crimes.

THE "SOFT" SHERIFF Cowpunchers, both of these fel lows, for twenty years, when there were tough guys on the ranges, now no foolin'. Each carries a pistol with a bar rel into which, it would seem, a prairie dog could crawl. One bad man or twent it makes no difference to them; either one will bust right intc a gambling hall whenever one ven tures to open and clean out the place. Yet Sheriff II. L. 'Butler of Apache county, longest in Ameri ca, and Tom Jones,- his deputy, were worried most terrible.t And what would one suppose had thus worried these officers of thi big Arizona county? 1 Five boys, caught steal ing and buying stolen goods taken from ranches and homes in the quiet, peaceful .little Mormon city of St. Johns, capital of the county! .Great little town, St. Johns. Wonderful young people. They have more beautiful girls in St. Johns to the square foot than in any other city in Arizona. There's Maude Isaacson, who, only 17, runs the B-Zona hotel right up to snuff: and the two Patterson girls and their extremely prettly little chum of the bobbed hair and pink dress who can dance like a but terfly and. oh, the little town is full of them. And strapping fine boys, too can rope a steer, brand a calf, shoot like a circus performer, ex perts in irrigation great young people, St. Johns has. These five lads I speak of had lost one or both parets, and with no parental guidance, got into trouble. And how happy was Sheriff Butler when the mother of the last one sent for him to come to her in IjOS Angeles. Kinda soft, isn't he, for an Ari zona sheriff? Well, let's see. Remember .when Oily Thomp son got into a row with Will Wright over that cirl down at Mc NaryV and shot Wright dead? It was a day later that Sheriff But J ier heard of it and pointed th Triose of his Stndebaker down the mesa toward Spriugville to get Oily. Thompson was 72 miles away by road. 52 in a straight line That means tortuous climbs up 18 per cent grades and twisting turm down 20 per cent grades, in and out of mountain passes. Yet it two hours Butler was tmere. The Studebaker did it. He learned where Thompson was. Thp slayer had on and about him three 4 5-caliber revolvers, a 30-30 high powered rifle, and three knives. And he said he was waiting for the sheriff. Butler drove right up to where Thompson was waiting, stopped his car, put on the parking brake and turned off the ignition. He adjusted his gold-bowed specta cles and started out of the car. Thompson rustled with weap ons like dry cornstalks in the wind. But somehow, when the sheriff was completely out of the car, his hand rested right on the hilt of his own big .45 six-shooter and he began to laugh. This dis concerted Thompson, and the ar rest was all over. Thompson claimed he shot in self defense," and his trial will be held toward winter. .; "What made you laugh when you looked into Thompson's young r m SOME SUNDAY SERMONS - FROM SALEM PULPITS Evangelist Stivers Preaches At Court Street Christian Chnrch; JVv. X. K. Tully's Topic "Itoseue of Soul." sormnn' Hoiivprwl hv Evancelist Stivers at Courts Street Christian church Sunday night: "Why are there so many churches? Suppose we were lost on an island, like Robinson Cru soe, and we did not know any thing about a church. One day. while walking on the beach a Hi-! bh was discovered, and we began to study it. We could not preacn anything but what was found in the Bible, and if we followed the Book, we could build a Church of Christ, and call ourselves Christians, for that is what the Book teaches. If we could do that on an is land, why not In America?" The Bible tells us that Christ built His church. Matt. 16:18; there fore it is His church. Luke 24, 4 9. tells us 1t was to begin in Jerusalem, and Paul says in First Cor.: 'For other foundation can no man lay than that which is al ready laid, which is Jesus Christ. Col. 1:18 tells us that Christ is the head of His church. As we follow the New Testament we find that each church had a plur ality of elders and deacons, but as man got away rom the plain teaching of the Bible we find in historv that there were soon a plurality of churches with one el der. "Roman Catholicism was born in Rome, and for 1100 years it held sway. Then Luther broke with the Church of Rome, and the Reformation set in. Other reformers came out protesting against Rome. Many churches were born In s'.ich a way, thus we have many denominational churches, with human creeds, human names and human tests of fellowship. Jerome O'Kclly from the Methodist; AD ner Jones from the Baptists; Thomas and Alexander Campbell from the Presbyterian, and many other grew tired of divisions and earnestly studied the Scriptures, and broke away from denomina- tionalism, and said as the ,Lord prayed for the unity of His peo ple, they were going to work .for it. "They took for their slogan. Where the Bible speaks, we speak: and where the Bible isTii- lent, we will be silent. This was the restoration movement that started over 100 years ago. They went, back to Christ for com mands and forward with Christ in christian service. This move ment grew until it is near the two million mark. We know that this movement is right for it is scrip cural. Our religion must have a standard, and that is the Word Df God; and it must have author- lrsenal?" the sheriff was asked. 'And how come you weren't hes tant about confronting him?" "Easiest thing you ever saw," uplatns Sheriff Butler. "I saw ill his guns and kniven. but I aw something else.

"Tlie Rescue of Souls" On some have mercy, who are in doubt; and some save, snatch ing them out of the fire; and on some have mercy 'with fear; hat ing even the garment spotted by the flesh." Th'la is a wonderful passage, difficult to translate, but full of urgency for the welfare of souls, said Rev. Dr. Norman K. Tully, pastor or the first Presby terian church, Sunday night. It points out a danger common to all, namely, that the soul may becdme lost. This is implied in the coming of the Saviour. He was called Jesus, because He would "save His people from their sins." He'deelared to Zacchaeus that his mission was "to seek and to save that which was lost." Paul Bummariicd his ministry by say ing that "Christ Jesus came into the 'world to save Binnern." The conclusion is clear: if mankind were not in a lost condition Christ Christ need not have come. In the second place, our pas sage calls attention to our com mon duty, the rescue of souls. There is no more important work than to influence an immortal soul. Men are not alike. Some are to be dealt with by persuasion and gentle entreaty. The loving kindness of God melts them. Oth ers are stubborn tn their evil. They require to be rebuked sharp ly and sometimes denounced se verely, like . Elijah dared Ahab and defied Jezebel,' and Jesus blis tered the Pharisees in the 23rd chapter of Matthew. Sin is so terrible a destruction that the rescuer must be earnest enough to use every effective meajis. Finally, Jude emphasizes the two common motives which impel to the rescue of souls. The first is the love of God, which moved Him to give His Son to die that men might Jive, and constrains the saved . man to lend a hand to his struggling brother. ; The sec ond motive is the terrible conse quences of sin. It is appointed unto all men once to die, and af ter that the judgment. Accord ing to the light we haye and the opportunities which we have en joyed to get more lighe we stand or fall. Character tends to be come fixed. "As the tree falleth there shall it lie." Men and wo men, prepare to meet your God, remembering that "whoso win neth souls is wise." The First C ommandment Following is the text of Rev. N. K. Tully, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, for last Sun day evening's sermon: . "Thou shalt have no other gods before , me." So runs the first commandment handed down from Sinai. The fact that it heads the list would indicate that it is the most important of the ten, and. when we compare it with the other nine, this impression is con firmed. However, in a matter of such importance it is well to have the support of the best authority we can get. In this case we have the' support of One who spake as Suggestions For Christmas Giving SCARFS Fancy Scotch Plaids of Wool, and we .' have (hem in almost every color 51.48 to $2.98 Scarfs are nriced moderately and when packed in our hol;eay girt boxes tney maae , ' most acceptable gifts ?2.98 to $3.98 RUBBER APRONS .

Then he condensed all the other commandments which have to do with our conduct to wards one another into this state ment, "Thou shalt love thy neigh bor as thyself." He ended ;by saying that these two are the first and the second commandments, (Continae4 oo pa 6.)
