In the afternoon there was a large attendance of women to hear John Troy, soloist accompanying Kramer, describe his Ssbetlenong, in Servia, his native country, and in America. “It may be well enough to con- duct the ordinary affairs of our daily existence by proxy but we cannot carry this mode of doing things through others into our re- ligious lives, It requires our per- sonal attention to save our own and other souls,” declared “Big Jim" in his evening address on the newest affliction of the present age—"Prox- itis." “Appointing committees and pass- {ng resolution will have no effect on the spiritual well betng of the sin- ner, nor will these actions save souls. ‘We must have the personal touch, we must give ourselves individually and directly to the work of salva- tion through Christ's blood. ‘There were 25 conversions yester- day. Such work and such attend- ance under the circumstances speaks well for the ability of Dr. Kramer nd the co-operation of the Casper churches.

Reports prepared by the com- manders of all of the seven wrecked vessels and of the two others which were damaged in the grounding were to be submitted to the court and read in the presence of the commanding officer and surviving members of the crew in each case. After the reading of each report, the crew of the destroyer involved was to be sworn and each man given an opportunity to add any informa- tion he thought should be incorporat- ed in his commander’s account of the disaster, or any compint which he felt should be made at this time, At the conclusion of this proce- dure, which was to take place at the destroyer base here, the investigat- ing body was expected to adjourn to a court room at the naval air station on North Island where reports of other officers of the destroyer squad- ron might be submitted and the testi- mony of experts in navigation re- ceived. ‘Witnesses likely to be called before Driver Runs Car Through ~Store Front ALAMEDA, Calif., Sept. 17—The sign in the window said “five cents a ginss” in large letters, and something else in small letters, L.

Value received from display space is always based upon the circulation of a newspaper. The Tribune's circulation as counted by the Audit Bureau of Circulations, following a recent auditing of the books, is 9,704, although it is now over 10,000, The cireulation of the Standard Examiner at Ogden, Utah, was set by this same national bureau at 10,144, The minimum display advertising rate of the Oasper Daily Tribune is Sl cents per inch, This rate may be ob- talned by taking advantage of all.discounta, The minimum display rate of the Standard Examiner, which may be ob- tained by taking advantage of all discounts is 6744 cents per inch, This is made available only by the use of 800 inches in a single month, In view of the fact that circulation determines the value of display advertising on any newspaper, Tribune space is by far cheaper than the great majority of the periodicals of the surrounding country, This fact will be further substantiated in future editorials, TAKING PARDONABLE PRIDE (Editortial,) | HEAD ON, TWO ARE KILLED POTITAN, ALA., SEPT, 17,—Two persons were Killed and twenty-two injured at Cottandale, Florida, late last night when a Leutsville and Nashville east bound passenger train crashed into a nerth bound exoursion \train of the Atlanta and 8, Andrews Bay railway standing on the ocress- ing, according to reperta received here today by local hospital officials, |The dead are; | Mrs, I, 'T, Lane, Dothan, Ala. and Frances Holand, Dothan, | Of the injured brought to hespi- tals here, T, J, Kelly, suffering from ja broken leg and internal injuries, jand Fred Lane, six years old, whose | mother was killed, and who was suf fering from a crushed skull, are not | expected to live, it was sald, They |are both from Dethan, |.
