If those 50 men are worth $75 a month then their earning power, out of iail. is $45,000 for one year. In jail they are a liability, as freemen they are an asset to society. The penitentiary, however, will not give a true index to the improved criminal condi tions brought about y the dry law. The police court is the place to look for the immedi ate workings of the law. In Pendleton the arrests during the first year fell off two thirds and the results will not be different in other towns where saloons were formerly numerous.

This is about one sixth of their national wealth, as reported before the begin ning of hostilities. It is rising steadily at the rate of $100, 000.000, a day. Almost inconceivable as these figures are, they do not represent the cost of the war. Billions have been accumulated by taxation and other billions by the issue of paper money. No account is taken either oi property destroyed or produc tive industry paralyzed. The debts and losses of the minor countries involved are not con sidered. Before this conflict began, rersons opposed to great arma ments used to point to the ama- ing fact that the principal na tions were spending $3,000,- 000,000 a year for military pur poses. Now they are spending that sum every month. All the wars of the nineteenth century fere said to have cost $26,000,- 000. 000. This war has cost twice that already. The cost of our Civil War has been esti mated at $5,000,000,000. Great Britain alone has spent three times that amount since Aug. 1, 1914. As the principal creditor na tion, the United States has a nrofound interest in the financ es of the belligerents, and the Federal Reserve Board per forms an important public ser vice when from time to time it calls attention to the facts. That the point of exhaustion of credit as well as of men has not yet been reached is evident, but it would be madness to as sume that the present waste of life and treasure can go on m HE food controller in Eng- land has fixed a maxi mum price at which Eng lish growers must sell their u beat. It is a price of 60 shil lings for 504 pounds. Re duced to American terms this means approximately $1.73 per bushel for wheat grown in England.

"To Hell and Back" was the topif of Dr. Unison's sermon Uut ninl. The text was Mark H:7. "And peter.'1 We give briefly the thought. Peter otter three years of compan ionship with Jesus by a sad and bit ter experience went to hell and came back. The first step in the downwsuii course was, "lie followed atar off. Distance from Jesus is nearness tc peril. If you. would dwell in suiety, keep close to Jesus. Jesus told them In that night, "I am your Shepherd but touight the Shepherd will be smitten and you tho sheep will be scatter!. Peter's an swer was, ''Lord I am not going to leave you." Peter, It la night now and ere long the cock is going to crow, but before it does you will have dented me three times. But "Peter was em phatic and said, "I may die with you but I wiU not deny you. And fit meant it, too. Peter was not a hypo crite. You can't make a hypocrite out of that kind of a temperament A hypocrite must be cool, calculating, careful. Peter was worn out. That was a strenuous time before the crucifixion and Peter followed afar off. I watK you to learn the lesson. Distance from Jesua in mearness to peril for you as it was for him. His second step. Peter warmed himself and he was doing it at the enemy's fire. Ha was trying to keep in Uouch with Jesus and make friend of the world, too. What a spectacle the church makes when she tries to hold on to Christ with one hand and the world with the other. Spurgeon was atked about the card playing ami dancing Christian and he replied, " think the devil has a perfect right to alt that he catches on his own ground." And these are the devil's grounds. The world hates a hypocrite but it It respects a true Christian. Yoi can't descend to the world and save the world. When a Christian stands in the mire of the world he can't lift the world up. Learn this lesson. If you think more of yourself than you do of Christ you are in great peril. Pete! forgot Jesus because he was thinkln" of himself and was in the wrong company. Third step. Peter sat down with them. The backslider gets on famil iar terms with sinners While Peter was sitttng there a girl came along and said, "You are one of the dis olplea" He said "I am not." a lie Then came a man and said, "I saw you in the garden." "I was not there," "Your speech betrays you." And he began to curse and swear and deny. A lapse into an old habit. When you backslide you take up the familiar gins of former days. One sin calls on another. Let him that thlnk eth he standeth take heed lest he fall. The first step up. He looked at Jesua Now if he had done that at the first he would never have denied him. When he looked at Jesus and Jemis looked at him his heart broke and Peter went out and wept bitterly. That saved him. I am presenting to you tonight the gofpel of the second chance. It is In this world. nH In the next There Is no new chance In the world to come. The world g;ves no second chance. If L got drunk tonight they would for get all about my record and never re store. Ood's gospel is different. lie eive more opportunity. Now If you have strayed like Peter, come back like Peter did. Hear Dr. Hinson tonight. The meet ing commences at 7:30 but come early and enjoy the song service at 7:15. We Are i Trying to Bring' Clara Kimball Young l in (The Common i Law ?

Providing Mausoleum protection is not preparing to die. It is prepa ration to LIVE WITHOUT WORRY as to the ever-presont possibility of lovd ones dying and being dishonored by grave or furnace violence. Neglect to provide insurance for the tome or disposition in advance of death is a mean characteristic, forcing upon friends and relatives the per formance of unpleasant duties in time of loss and bereavement. The re venge of neglect is merciless, and it follows the unprepared. Will YOU prepare or not? In the calm of health consider and choose. Intelligent investigation must precede decision. You cannot afford to spend a moment in gloomy contemplation of death; but you can afford to devote a day to the discovery of peaceful living by preparedness. The "some day" person is a slave to Foreboding. The "today" indi vidual has banished this destroyer of Tcace. Which are you? MAGNIFICENT, PERMANENT. SANITARY, TAXABLE, PERPETUALLY MAINTAINED.
