like $10,000 a year. 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.

CAN THEY CONTROL THE
PRICE
WAR'S MONEY COST
HE public debt of the
principal nations at war
is estimated by the Fed
eral Reserve Board at $49,000,
000,000, according to a finan
cial writer. 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

lings for 504 pounds. Re
duced to American terms this
means approximately $1.73
per bushel for wheat grown in
England. If English growers
cub obtain such figures for
their wheat they certainly will
Irave little to complain about.

. K. C.
"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.

Pendleton's Proposed Mausoleum
Living Without Worry
Insuring your house does not prepare it to burn, but does prepare you
to live without worry as to the every-present possibility of its destruction by
fire.
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.

those who are interested in
the workings of the prohibiti

The penitentiary bud

apparent, because of the
considerable decrease in
rommitments foil owing
the passage pf the prohi

be effected.
The cut in the State
