Dr. McDonald said: straight and narrow way of Jesus may scem to be hard but in fact it is the way of the transgressor that is always hard.

Jesus insists that selfishness and crookedness never pay. No ene ever gained anything by telling or acting a lie. You simply can not get away with It. Nothing holds together but the truth. Even though you succoed in deceiving other people, if you are not true.

you know yourself and it takes all the joy out of life. If there were no Ged, no purpose back of life: if this were an April fool's world. selfishnezs and crookedness might pay.

Pogue, Decatur, Mr. and Mrs.

M. M. Tudor and Henton of Mattoon has been filed by George W. Fisher of Decatur in the Coles county circuit court, charging the defendents with alienation of the affections of his wife, Mrs. Alvaretta Henton Fisher of Decatur.

The suit also embodies a case of trespass and is similar to one which was thrown out of the Macon county courts last year, according to Melvin Henton. one of the defendents. The case will be heard at the Oct. 11 session of the circuit court. Married Six Years Ago, According to available information the Fishers were married about six years ago, and started housekeeping in Decatur.

Mr. Pogue is conservator for Mrs. Fisher, Mrs. Tudor, a sister, and Melvin Henton, a brother. According to the petition filed the defendents are charged with entering the home of the Fishers.

carrying away about $1,000 worth of furniture and they are further charged with causing Mrs. Fisher to accompany them. This is alleged to have occurred in January, 1917. Since then the couple have lived apart. Hasn't Seen Sister.

Melvin Henton, the brother, was the only defendant who could be reached Sunday night and he said that the suit was a mystery to him, and that he did not know why he was implicated because he had not seen Mrs. Fisher since he had made a business settlement with her shortly after her marriage. He said that he did not even know where Mrs. Fisher had lived in Decatur. Relatives of the Fishers claim that the charges of Mr.

Fisher are exaggerated and that this will develop when the case is called for a hearing Oct. 11, in Mattoon. REV. MR. HEYNE IN INDIANAPOLISE Preaches at Mission Festival; St.

TOUCHES UPON BALL SCANDAL Guilty Players Scapegoats of a National Psychology Says Dando Touching upon the big league baseball scandal in his Sunday evening sermon Rev. W.

S. Dando of the Westminster Presbyterian church said: "The indicted baseball players are in reality the victims of a vulgar type of mind. which too tragically dominates our American affairs. These men fell under the crusher of our present day gross materialism. They were examples of "get it while the goings good" will do for individuals or nations.

The base transaction which disappoints and disconcerts us as a people, is a phase of profiteering. and shows to what lengths it is taking us. It is a breaking out on the social warning us that correction is required." These men are the scapegoats of a nationali psychology. We are neglecting moral 1 safeguards in our education. Foundational principles of action must be restored in our curriculums." Don't Be Negative The story of Christ which Mr.

Dando modernized in his sermon was that one of the man who hid his talent He said. "You've got to take a chance with your life. You Life cannot demands always play safe with it. ture. Just handing back the principal will not honor the Master.

He has put us out at interest. and if we are not paying proper dividends he will! disqualify the account. Life be more than self defensive; it must be assertive, one way or the other. We must add to what we have, or what we originally claimed will slip out of our hands. The Spendthrift is bet- ter than the Skinflint.

This parable teaches that it is better to do almost anything rather than nothing is the negative life--the life neither dangerously bad nor positively good that constitutes the greatest drag on society. Smugness is more Vice. No man will be condemned because he did little, but could have more. A lively devil is better than a dead el. Doing nothing constitutes the 1i- nal disqualification.

And So it was that Christ was urgent with the idea: "Get a proper motive life, something more than self interest. The corporate activities of men in society, demand each mans contribution in right directions; otherwise such men suck the life sources, selfishly, and yet add nothing to the sum of things working for the common stock."

Unified 323 C. Main St. C. E. ANDREWS, "We are not making any claim to originality in the mere idea of pulverizing coal for fuel" declared Dr.

C. Wister Williams of McLaughlin Foundries Machine "but we do believe that the McLaughlin methods of atomizing coal, the McLaughlin devices for feeding the fuel into the furnace are original, and they have been patented. That they are serviceable in every day commercial plants we have demonstrated so conclusively that there is 110 room for argument. The perfect utility of our process is a daily demonstration at the plant on Cerro Gordo street but. not as an advertising demonstration.

From that standpoint it would be to us superfluous. We justify its use because of its economy. efficiency. convenience and incidentally" ang speaker smiled a bit "there is in the operation of our plant no violation of the city ordinances in relation to creating a smoke nuisance. Watch our smoke stack.

All day long it serves furnace for steaming a boiler of 100 horse power working under a heavy over-load. but there is no smoke. There is nothing new in that at our plant. We have been doing that for months and now that the field of endeavor which we have been approaching has been attained. the plant will be operated under greater pressure to meet the demands made upon us.

The Stumbling Block "The belief that greater efficiency In heating would result from burn. ing powdered coal as I said. is not new. The application of the theory was the stumbling block. Our ness is making machines for redueing coal to atoms and making other devices for feeding the atoms into the furnace.

There are seven plants now under contract for equipment and there are more than 30 companies organizing. We make the machinery for doing the work and other companies treat the fuel and place it on market. The saving? Perhaps the Cerro Gordo street plant is best illustration. When We fired with lump coal out daily fuel requirements were three tons and 600 pounds. For more than a year we have been operating the plant using 1400 pounds of atomized coal, instead of employing two stokers for the full 24 hours, the engineer merely turns on the atomized coal and there is no further need of a fireman.

No Overheating "Overheating? That has best. overcome. There were two problems that many persons failed to solve in their endeavor to demonstrate the value of pulverized coal for use as fuel. One was feeding the fuel into the furnace and the other was to avoid the overheating of the furnace after the feed problem had been solved. The theory of the uninformed seemed to be that feeding the fuel into the furnace was reasonably siniple but over heating was a difficult problem.

Among the uninformed the idea then grew that there was 110 device of man that could overcome the surplus of heat. When we it worth while to do so, nave gone out and demonstrated far away from our plant, for 30 days at a time, that it was altogether practical to fire the ordinary return tube boiled by our process with no damage from over heating. "We make sell mills for coal. We make and install without cost to consumer, the device for feeding atomized fuel the into the furnace. For the use of the furnace device we charge a royalty.

a charge so small that it seems absurd but we insist upon owning the feeding device and stipulate if there are any changes, any repairs the work Shall be done under our direc. tion. There is nothing complicated or about the feeding device but be so easy for an unindelicate, formed man, suddenly angry, to jam that device provide in advance there shall "He no jimming of the feeder. Cost of Coal. "Atomized coal will cost $3 more than mine run or lump.

If you doubt the wisdom of making the change in furnace equipment which costs nothing, remember that in our plant we require 1.400 pounds of atomized coal when the same duty load required 3 tons and 600 pounds of mine run coal. That 's as 7 to 63, and we have power without end. Our plant. shows the percentage of increased efficiency in fuel. So far we have been able determine and we have made patient and exhaustive search the efficiency of our system exceeds by 51 per cent any performance of our nearest competitor.

In other words there is no system of which we have any knowledge that can do half as much as we can do in increasing the efficiency of fuel. course after we had discovered that it was the way to do the work our process of atomizing coal is simple. First the coal is crushed by standard process, methods that are not patented, any one may use them. Then crushed coal is dried, the moisture evaporated and then atomized. The use of air currents to clean and handle the atomized coal is one of the salient features of our process.

Have Real Laboratory. "We refer to our product as atomized fuel for the good reason that the only word that fits. One cubic inch of coal processed in our mills is reduced to 360,000,000 atoms. We have more times than once demonstrated that in our laboratory and by the way we have some laboratory. Last year two U.

of I. seniors, cializing in chemistry, completed their course in our plant. "For three one half years we have been developing the process, and have to the point where we know there is no question on the score of its practical utilility that the field of usefulness is almost without limit. and now are making the mills which are to be installed and operated by the companies formed fur the purpose of atomizing coal for commercial uses, and for which many other companies are forming.
